"A unicorn, but it wouldn't be one of those pure white, rainbow maned wussy GIRLY unicorns. It would be black with red eyes and breathe smoke and fire. Because owning a scary looking black unicorn would be totally kick ass. I'd put my kid in front of me and ride it to his school and scare all the silly PTA moms, who would run for their lives." -
ifeedformulaAnd there you have it. Wild cats were the theme. Sorry, comic fans; Wild C.A.T.s was not the theme. Tune in next time when wild dogs will not be the theme. Really. That's too obvious even for us. Ok, that's a lie; nothing's too obvious here.
Thanks for playing, as always, and share and enjoy! Tell everyone about the quiz, because it is full of vitamins and minerals and low in calories and cholesterol. And that's good.
Rock On!

Date: 2011-08-22 01:14 pm (UTC)Recently, I have been focusing on this woman a great deal:
That's Gianna Michaels, as you undoubtedly know. Sorry about the photo, but it's the only non-X-rated one of her I could find. If you've been following Miss Michaels' career, you are aware that she'll do anything with anything, animal, vegetable or mineral. I don't think she's had sex with a vending machine yet, but there's always next week.
And just to make you jealous, Rafe, I happen to know, IRL, a girl, 25, who is the, er, spitting image of her. So to speak.

Date: 2011-08-23 02:30 pm (UTC)If it makes you feel any better I too like both Glee and Pokemon. One for the hilarity of its satire, the other because I grew up with it and can't seem to let it go (I am a sentimental hoarder with the added compulsion of having to keep collecting something if I have other parts of the series). I love Squirtle, but I think I'd go with a Wartortle, because they're as cute, but more powerful!

Also, the movie was worse than most Xena episodes. Most, not all.

Date: 2011-08-23 01:05 am (UTC)4! Aww yeah. But then the judges throw a -1 at me. *sniff* But the ladies love the volleyball scene in Top Gun! AND Meg Ryan tells Anthony Edwards to "take [her] to bed or lose [her] forever!" Who can disagree with that? Plus, if you have a good stereo system, you can really crank up Harold Faltermeyer's "Top Gun Anthem". (forget the rest of the movie, I could watch the opening sequence of carrier launches over and over again)
To be fair, I need to award myself a -1 for screwing up Q2. I thought Greg "the Shark" Norman was the answer, hence my Jabber Jaws answer. Le sigh.
