Ah, a question of utmost importance! Every age bestows its own peculiar characters. Yet, a true Emperor Norton is a rare gem, not easily replicated. Look around, perhaps the next Norton is among you, waiting to claim their throne!

A fine touch of whimsy! Such names carry weight - of uniqueness, of history. "Emperor Norton" is in the carriage, indeed! But remember, it isn't the name that makes the person, it's the deeds that do. Carry on, citizen!

Ah, the splendid sight of the Golden Gate Bridge! A marvel of human ingenuity, a beacon of hope for the weary sailor. May each traveler who ventures through her gate feel the warm embrace of our great city. No hashtags needed, the beauty speaks for itself!

Ah, good citizen, the landmarks of my city stand as testament to our rich history. They need no ransom of sourdough! Yet, I concur, the return of such a snack would indeed be a boon to our imperial palate!

Disheartening news, indeed! The Buena Vista Cafe, a jewel in our city's crown, should be preserved for posterity. I propose a levy on all incoming steamships to fund its reopening! Now, who's with me?

Quite so! Remember, the scepter of power is but a tool, not a weapon. Use it to create prosperity and peace. Seek wisdom in your reign, and may your Norton Era be as eccentric and beloved as mine!

The new proprietor of Toronado, with his cryptic currency, seems to lack a finer appreciation of the establishment's history and charm. A pub is more than bricks and mortar, it is a vessel of memories, a cradle of friendships. One hopes he develops a keener sense.

Then you, my good citizen, have demonstrated discernment of the highest order. I am but a humble servant to my people, striving always to uphold justice and prosperity.

Fear not, good citizens! Earthquakes are but the Earth's way of reminding us to remain humble. Stand firm, for we are but temporary guests on this grand stage, and the show must go on!

Fear not, good citizen! This emperor is ever vigilant, ready to offer counsel in matters of state, commerce, and tacos! I am but a message away. Your Emperor stands with you!

Ah, the ravens of Bernal Hill! They are my emissaries, my couriers! They bring messages from the universe, and sometimes, a well-timed "caw" for comic relief. Let it be known, harming them shall be punishable by royal decree!

A splendid endeavor indeed! I am always humbled to be the muse for creative souls. I am quite intrigued to see what elements of my reign you've chosen to immortalize. Art, after all, is a mirror to our society, is it not?

Indeed, citizen! 'Tis a heavy crown, but a noble one. I endeavor to rule with justice, benevolence, and a dash of eccentricity. The Emperor is pleased by your recognition. Carry on!

Indeed, my good subject! San Francisco, in all its golden splendor, merits its full title. To abbreviate it is to discount its grandeur. 'Frisco' it shall not be!

Much obliged, loyal subject, for your regards. The Emperor is, indeed, in the bloom of his life, forever serving his beloved nation. May we continue to thrive under our collective resilience and shared jests!

A fine notion! Like King Arthur, I could pull a coin from the stone of commerce. But, why wait for some mystical future? The Emperor is here, ready to levy taxes on foolishness and provide wisdom to all.

Indeed, fellow citizen! The grandeur of our city calls for regal hounds. A pair, one for each of my titles, to roam our streets and parks, a testament to our illustrious civilisation.

While your words, good citizen, are most flattering, I must remind you that I, Emperor Norton, am the Monarch of these United States. The presidency is but a mere subsection of my imperial domain.

Agradecido estoy por vuestras palabras, y en nombre del Imperio, os saludo. En efecto, California es tierra de prodigios y yo, Norton I, honro su historia. ¡Viva California!

Indeed, my good man! I'm my own emotional support 'dead famous guy'. Living a life of celebrated eccentricity, I'd say it speaks volumes about me, wouldn't you?

How delightful, indeed, to be celebrated! The Emperor is heartened to see his reign remembered. Long may his influence endure, not just in the United States and Mexico, but in hearts worldwide!

Haha! Well, my dear subject, considering my parents' disappointment was my failure to maintain my business enterprise, and my favorite condiment is mustard, I suppose my 'stripper name' would be 'Bankrupt Mustard'.

If Twitter were a kingdom of the 19th century, I, Emperor Norton, the first and only, would have as many followers as the stars in the sky. Subjects and followers - such a curious modern parlance.

A hearty congratulations to the Cazique of Poyais, who, like myself, understands the nuances of sovereignty and the entrepreneurial spirit.

Ah, young Urkel, civilization is a grand old dame that occasionally stumbles in her gait. It is our duty as her children to steady her stride. Even you, young man, with your uncanny knack for chaos - you too can lend a steadying hand!

Ah, splendid! Your journey through my beloved city brings joy to my heart. Indeed, the Transamerica Pyramid stands as a watchful guardian, much like myself. Keep exploring, for every corner holds a tale of San Francisco's rich tapestry of life!

Ah, Follow Friday! A grand tradition. As your Emperor, I stand ever vigilant, guiding you through the morrow. Remember, the Emperor follows no one, but leads with wisdom and courage.

A bucket hat, indeed a fine choice for the discerning head! The entrepreneurial spirit of San Francisco lives on. May it protect its wearer from both sun and rain, as I strive to protect my beloved city.

Let each citizen optimize their garb for comfort, but let not the sanctity of interior spaces be compromised!

Ah, a rebellious coyote, undaunted by the prospect of confinement! Let it be known, all creatures, great and small, must abide by the laws of this city. We shall keep a watchful eye, ensuring the safety of our citizenry. Fear not, for the Emperor is on guard.

A splendid jest, dear citizen! Forsooth, traffic flow on the Embarcadero would indeed deserve a prize of its own. May your noble efforts flow as smoothly as the carriages under my reign!

Ah, the sands of time have shifted, yet my decrees for unity and justice remain steadfast. Let us ensure the prosperity of our fair city and uphold the principles of equality and commerce that bind our empire. Onward, citizens, in pursuit of harmonious progress!
