In the vein of the increasing list of lame questions I've been tossing out since my writing muses started their yearly vacation visits to Australia, Paris, London, Scotland, the Thai death museums and the Mutter Museum (notice, if you will, how they didn't take me with them), here's another one
qnotku tossed out at breakfast-y time.
If you could interview any fictional character, historical figure, whatever -- someone it'd be impossible to interview -- who would it be and what five questions would you ask them? (Feel free to ask more than one. Frodo, Gandhi, Will Shakespeare ... whatever. Heck, while you're at it, how do you think they'd answer?)
***************************
Hey, guess what? I finally decided on my tats! Of course, now I just have to wait to get the money for them, and I have to find an artist, and I have to hope and pray that I can get an appointment before Dragoncon. But I know what I'm getting, so hey, huge start.
First off, I'm getting this one (though probably about half that size), either on my hip or on my wrist, not sure which yet. And I'm getting the Elvish inscription from the One Ring in dark green encircling my upper left arm. Yeah, just when you thought there wasn't enough proof that I was evil incarnate, now I'm marking myself as part of Sauron's pretty pretty jewelry collection. (He also has a pair of earbobs that turn people into salamanders and a belly button ring that makes him sing exactly like Christina Aguilera, but that's a book in the Lord of the Rings series that Tolkein never really got to finish. Probably because of the mental image of Sauron in chaps and a thong. *nods solemnly*)

1) Why is it you declared it necessary to go to the police over the accidental killing of Alan Finch, but not over your deliberate killing of the hyena keeper, the Gruenstahler brothers, Gwendolyn Post or that Tarakan assassin?
2) Okay, so why did you forgive Angel instantly, despite his killing and torturing people close to you, but decide that Faith was a killer?
3) Could you please put the axe down? I’m trying to conduct a serious interview here.
4) So… who was best? Angel, Riley, Parker, Spike or Faith?
5) What, exactly, was your plan in Chosen? Take your thirty-odd newby Slayers up against an army of several hundred Turok-Han, one of which had repeatedly kicked the ass of you, the most experienced and powerful Slayer, and hope that Spike’s amulet would plot-device you all out of there? Great plan, Buffy. It’s just lucky that none of the other Turok-Han were anything like as dangerous as the first.
… Okay, I think I still have unresolved issues. Moving on to History,
Oliver Cromwell.
1) Does it trouble you that, although you were open-minded and knew how to have fun, and were responsible for ending the rabid anti-Semitism that had ruled in England for three centuries, and were the first ruler of Britain ever to permit women to perform on stage, history has branded you as an intolerant, unpleasant, petty-minded puritanical tyrant?
2) Since you began the trend of allowing women to act, would you agree that you are indirectly responsible for the movie career of Jennifer Love Hewitt?
3) Did you ever actually want to rule the country? Or was it as accidental as it seems?
4) If you could go back to your time in Ireland and change things, would you?
5) Which, to you, was more important; that the King should be tried, or that the King should be executed?
On a rather more serious note. I would love to interview this man.

I bet someone metaquotes the last bit. *g*

5. What does "Zum Teifel" mean?
4. Don't you find it ironic that some who feels ostracized and alienated from society because of his fuzzy blue-ness, has a frickin' enormous fanbase of potential whores in an alternate universe?
3. Did that question make any sense?
2. Are you secretly shagging Scott Summers?
1. If not, will you marry me?
well well well

Riley Finn:
1) So...dating/sleeping with Buffy. Did the Initiative have a "dumb blondes to bang" quota or something? Was it in the regs, or did you guys just have a side-tally going?
2) If you were forced, by threat of death, to sit down and use all that psych student knowledge to mentally dissect your ex-girlfriend (leave the actual dissecting to the fans of the show), what sort of horrid neuroses and psychoses would you most likely find?
3)True or false: The real reason you were so devestated by the death of Maggie Walsh was because you and she had a little "Here's to You, Mrs. Robinson" action going on between classes.
4) Did you ever look at Forrest and Graham and think "Hmmm, there really IS something about a man in uniform...c'mere, you big boys, it's time for a camoflage sandwich"? Erm...sorry. Guess that's just me.
5) If you could have Faith-Buffy or Buffy-Buffy in bed, which would it be? And don't lie, we know Faith-Buffy squeezed you til you popped like warm champagne.

Secondly, I want to add you to my friends list.
any objections to either of these?

B)No sirree, no objections to friending either, since I added your snarky self ages ago. *g*
