(i was getting worried that no one mentioned me as maggie. though, i do chatter too much to be maggie. really.)

I thought of you as Maggie right off, Poppet. I just thought it was too obvious.

And since you are my youngest child you know I adore you.

Putting ARL, Noise and myself together would make for some interesting tv.

So who's Jimbo Jones? "Just cos he's a rebel who plays by his own rules..." - Bart, when the girl he had a crush on favoured Jimbo.

LessThanZero · Post by **LessThanZero** » Thu Oct 23, 2003 7:40 pm

Cool who's dawn?

MS, I'll take Luke! (except for when he kisses his sister of course).
And my mom switched from her rabbit-ears in 1980! It makes sense now!

Anyone wanna try a Lord of The Rings version?

bobster · Post by **bobster** » Thu Oct 23, 2003 10:52 pm

El Vez -- I think it was that you would be the sort of calm center between ARL and Noise, which I guess makes you Jonathan. A just revenge for making me Comic Book Guy, I'd say!

And I'm happy to be Zander (a sort of better looking, more ethical, less academically inclined version of Woody Allen), but I'm actually totally unable to handle myself around lumber.

Less Than Zero -- Dawn's is Buffy's little sister who didn't exist until season 5 and is really a "key"...don't ask. Her most famous line, "get out, get out, get out!!!"

And If we're going to do LOTR, I get to be Mr. Popular-with-the-elf-ladies Aragorn/Viggo Mortenson! (Hey, that's why they call it "fantasy"!)

Don't be so modest Bobster-you know you make all the girls swoon.

Thanks....Must be my new cyber-pheremone cologne

selfmademug · Post by **selfmademug** » Fri Oct 24, 2003 1:06 pm

Oooo, I'm so happy to be Anya! Thank you, Poppet, and all that after I coudn't find a decent enough Simpson for you...

there are so few good female characters, and Bunny was insulted I made her Bart... So, who's Spike, pray, tell? The Doofster, mebbe??

Bobster, you have not commented on our relationship, nor on the huge honor I've bestowed on you by making you Krusty!!!

Gillibeanz · Post by **Gillibeanz** » Fri Oct 24, 2003 1:16 pm

MUG: No worries here - my hair does look like Sideshow Mel on a bad day!!

Poppet · Post by **Poppet** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 8:25 pm

mug, good idea.

Spike - jackson monk doofster

and adding one i just thought of:
Faith - sweet pear

i'm perfectly happy to explain, all ya' gotta do is ask. (unlike blue chair, who just screamed, then AIMed me later to ask why. silly thing.)

and, as i explained to BC, i'm obviously Joss (creator and final arbiter of all things Buffy). 'cause i said so.

happy the board is back, though honestly it being down earlier today was a good thing, 'cause i wanted to look, and didn't have time. w/ it being down, i couldn't look. thank you.

Poppet · Post by **Poppet** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 8:28 pm

one more:

Oz - whtesde

('cause she's doesn't post often, but when she does, it's worth reading. unlike, say, me, who just likes to chatter.)

SMM --

Yep. I'm an ungrateful lout -- love Krusty and I guess it sort of makes sense since we're both cynical clowns with an uneasy relationship with our Jewish ancestry. Also, if I don't get a haircut, the resemblances go further.

And, yup, I guess I'm destined to leave you at the altar, only to later see you on a video hook-up having sex with Jackson Monk Doofster, but later to admire your courage whilst sacrificing for a geek. Well, it was sweet while it lasted. <Sniffle.>

I wasn't insulted you made me Bart, Mug! You took Mrs. Crabopple, but I won't hold that aginst you. Bart is cool enough and gets to hang out with Millhouse - the most Elvis looking character in the show. Everyone knows the star of the show is Homer.

oily slick · Post by **oily slick** » Tue Oct 28, 2003 3:55 pm

i've been away and i'm trying to read this stuff and this is fascinating. i haven't the foggiest idea what it is about, but i'm like other people. is that homer like in homer simpson? i'm homer simpson? and han solo?

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Tue Oct 28, 2003 5:07 pm

Yeah, oily. And if you're Han Solo, you get Plaything for your Princess Leia. And if you're Homer Simpson, you get me for your Marge.

You could do worse.

Bobster - Paul Giamatti
Pip_52 - Scarlett Johansson
Otis Westinghouse- Terence Stamp
SoLikeCandy - Vivica A. Fox
Bluechair - Topher Grace
Miss Buenos Aires - Lili Taylor
Goody2Shoes - Debra Winger (Hard to explain, just seems to fit for me)
A Rope Leash - Harry Dean Stanton
Taz - would you hate me if I suggested Seann William Scott?
Bambooneedle - Laurence Fishburne (another strange one that makes sense for me)
Oily Slick - Christopher Walken
Double Dutchess - Maggie Gyllenhaal
Spooky Girlfriend - Frances McDormand
Copenhagen Fan - Vin Diesel

noiseradio · Post by **noiseradio** » Tue Oct 28, 2003 10:44 pm

I don't know what to make of all this:

Poppet says I'm a nerd, Mug thinks I'm a bully, and El Vez can't decide if I'm an overlyoptimistic religious nut or the most menacing character actor since James Spader.

I'm deeply, deeply wounded.
(Add seltzer here, in memory of pophead2k).

Cast of Futurama:

Bender: A Rope Leash
Leela: Spooky Girlfriend
Fry: Less Than Zero
Dr. Zoidberg: El Vez
The Professor: pophead2k
Mom: I Stand Accused
Hermes: Blue Chair
Amy: Noiseradio (I can dream, can't I?)

bambooneedle · Post by **bambooneedle** » Wed Oct 29, 2003 12:53 am

Laurence Fishburne? ... What goes on in your head El Vez? Are you sure you took the right pill?

Happy Days...

Richie Cunningham: El Vez
The Fonz: Selfmademug
Potsie: Less Than Zero
Ralph Malph: Oily Slick

Ok, enough of this... I was working on some of the others but it was getting quite ridiculous.

Gotta hand it to you -- at once frigtheningly accurate in terms of "type" and yet, probably the only currently "hot" Hollywood actor that I am actually better looking than. It's almost spooky.....

Obviously, no one's getting the memo about me vis a vi Viggo Mortenson.....

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Wed Oct 29, 2003 9:41 am

This is your fault, Bambooneedle. I hope you're all as familiar with these characters as I am. I spent way too much time in front of the tv growing up.

The Beverly Hillbillies!

Granny: Gillibeanz--don't be angry! she's the emotional center of all things Clampett.
Jed: the terror of Holland, King of Confidence.
Jethro: bambooneedle. cos he looks like a double-nought spy.
Ellie Mae: the ever bubbly Poppet.
Mr. Drysdale: who else? a rope leash.
Miss Jane Hathaway: again, who else? El Vez.

Gillibeanz · Post by **Gillibeanz** » Wed Oct 29, 2003 9:54 am

MOOD SWUNG: Me Granny? Oh you did make me laugh - thats the best one yet. I must be looking older than I thought, - bloody hell and another birthday coming up in 2 weeks......whurs ma darn gun Ellie?????
