What brought about your downfall?
 

You've all plotted world domination; it's only natural.

You must have failed, else you wouldn't be here.

What do you blame?

It was those dratted monkeys!

(That's why I'm here. To steal all their secrets...shhhhh...)

Bloody Alberwich! Damn him to hell!

Shenanigans.

Scotch

Everybody has to blame somebody or something else. It is the standard today. :D

It was those meddling kids.

Now, lets see who you really are!

Old Man Dallas!

I chose the CIA as a proxy for the NSA.

The stench from the corpses...I am super-sensitive to bad odors.

Damn straight.

Oh, I missed the poll the first time around. Well, stool pigeons are better than pigeon stool I guess.

If it weren't for bad luck...I'd have no luck at all.

Meddling kids and the long, detailed explanation of the nefarious plans while your nemesis is hooked into some complex contraption (made with low-bid parts) that should end his/her life, but fails at a crucial moment allowing him/her to foil your carefully crafted schemes.

Gloom, despair, and agony on me.

;) Heh, I hadn't even gone so far as to remember where I'd stolen that!
