I mean no disrespect to any parties involved, but:

Apparently the Red Sox think they're the Yankees.

I don't have an opinion about the whole thing, really, but this sounds SO MUCH like a New York deal. Mostly because of the GIANT GOBS OF MONEY. I hope it's worth it.

Orpheus 33% Extroversion, 80% Intuition, 100% Emotiveness, 52% Perceptiveness

You are an artist, an aesthete, a sensitive, and someone who has never really let go of that childlike innocence. To you, all of life has a sense of wonder in it, and the story of Orpheus was written about someone just like you. When the Argo passed the island of the Sirens, Orpheus played a song more beautiful than the Sirens to prevent the crew from becoming enticed. When his wife died, he ventured into the underworld to charm Hades but, in his naivete, he looked back becoming trapped there. You can capture your unique world view and relate it to others with the skill of a master storyteller. Your sensitivity and creativity make you a treasure to the human race, but your thin-skinned nature and innocence can cause you a lot of disenchantment and pain. What's doubly unfortunate is that, if you try to lose those traits, you never will, and everyone will be able to tell that you're putting up an artificial shell to prevent yourself from being hurt. Famous people like you: Hemingway, Shakespeare, Mr. Rogers, Melville, Nick Tosches Stay clear of: Icarus, Hermes, Atlas

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on Extroversion You scored higher than 99% on Intuition You scored higher than 99% on Emotiveness You scored higher than 99% on Perceptiveness

From melpemone, and because I'm weird enough to think about this, a meme! It's short, so no cut.

List ten fictional characters you would have sex with (in no particular order) then tag 5 people to do the same.

a. Geoffrey Tennant Okay, so he's the only one in any order. Where else would he be?
2. Alex Krycek
3. Delenn
4. Ray Vecchio
5. Chris Cutter
6. Ellen Fanshaw
7. Buddy French
8. Ray Kowalski
9. Stu Redman
10. Benton Fraser

Realise, of course, I've only picked ten. In the fictional realm, I can pick as many as I want, right? Because I so left out Peter Lake (who has no picture except in my head), Meg Thatcher (shut UP.), Grownup!Jack Sawyer (also no picture), Alex Law, Curt Wild, Billy Tallent, Brian Kinney, Duck MacDonald, Remus Lupin (not the picture you're thinking of) and Augustus Knickel. Among others.

This is also THIS week. Ask me again in a few days. :)

Okay, so I'll tag, hmm. patchfire, missapocalyptic, peacey, topaz7 and stormwynd. That seems to be a list chock full 'o variety. :) Oh, and anyone else who wants to be shallow and silly with us. *g*

P.S. The icon isn't mood-related. I just like badass!Vecchio. :D

[missapocalyptic.livejournal.com]

Can't I just say "What promroseburrows said"?

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Oh, c'mon, your list has to be a little different than mine, right?

[missapocalyptic.livejournal.com]

No, wait, I already made a list:

In no particular order:

Radcliffe Emerson from the Amelia Peabody novel series by Elizabeth Peters.
Those novels belong to my guilty pleasures. They're hilarious. Radcliffe (who hates his first name as much as I love it) is the husband of the heroine and abit like Geoffrey Tennant, only that he is passionate abou archeaology instead of the theatre. Even his outer appearance is described like Geoffey's. So - very good-looking. Also very rude, intelligent, unconventional and deeply in love with just one woman. Well. I could so get over that.

Gary Jensen from Suspicious River.
I know. I know! But. He is… God, when he’s in that bed with Leila? How can a woman NOT fall for him???

Sherlock Holmes
Especially if he is played by Rupert Everett *g* I mean – he’s a genius! Yeah, I know that he was in fact gay and in love with Dr. Watson, but still. Such a great but troubled mind. And he can play the violin! I’d so screw him.

The Dude aka “Duder”, “His Dudeness” or “El Duderino”.
He so hot and sweet and funny and… well, not exactly what you’d call hygienic, but who cares? He’s the fucking Dude, man! And anyway, what the fuck has anything to do with Vietnam, man?

James Lennox from Men with Brooms
I know, everyone listed him, but with good reason. This man is seriously sexy! And he could forget my name any time he wants, as long as he screws me. You can quote me on that.

Geoffrey Tennant from Slings&Arrows
I think he’s someone you can have great “morning after”-conversations with. Apart from that: A man who’s good looking, intelligent, well-read, can quote Shakespeare and is not gay? And he carries razor blades in his fucking mouth!!! And looks good being chained to the wall *g* He’s mine!

Ichabod Crane
He’s beautiful. And so very 18th/19th century like. And he faints all the time. Ain’t that so very cute? I will not mention here that I’d fuck pretty much every character Johnnie Depp has ever played.

Benton Fraser
Come on, he’s too beautiful to be left out. I bet he knows some mean tricks in bed. And he could do my dishes afterwards. And maybe Ray could come over some time and we’d… but that’d go too far for this meme.

Lord Arthur Goring
Anyone seen “An Ideal Husband” based on the play by Oscar Wilde? With Rupert Everett (him again, dammit!)? This scene where he explains love to Miss Cheveley is scorchingly hot – although actually he fakes everything, but that makes it even more adorable! He so pretty. And so hot. Guh!

Fitz played by Robbie Coltrane.
“I drink too much. I smoke too much. I gamble too much. Maybe I am too much.” OK, he’s middle aged, overweight and always broke, but who cares? He’s such a wonderful cynical, brilliant but fucked-up character – I am deeply in love with him. Marry me.

Radcliffe Emerson from the Amelia Peabody novel series by Elizabeth Peters.

This hasn't ever been filmed, right?

Gary Jensen from Suspicious River.

I have never seen this. I suck.

The Dude aka “Duder”, “His Dudeness” or “El Duderino”.

I don't know who this is. Enlighten me. *g*

James Lennox from Men with Brooms

I did not list him, so I must not be Everybody.

Geoffrey Tennant from Slings&Arrows

has a superglued place at the top of my list. Preach away to the choir, honey.

And he carries razor blades in his fucking mouth!!!

Now, see, I always knew that mouth was dangerous. Geoffrey as Metaphor. Yessir.

Ichabod Crane. Johnny Depp plays him, so he makes the list.

Benton Fraser

Yay for fake!Incest. Part of me wanted to leave him off my list for that very reason but I couldn't, because then I'd be LYING ON TOP OF TEH FAKE!INCEST.

Fraser and I would have amazing morning conversations. We'd probably be the only ones who could tolerate discussions like that for extended periods of time. And? There'd SO be Trivial Pursuit games by the fire.

And I don't buy the whole "Fraser would be terrible in bed" theory. I think that emotionally he's a pot put on to boil. When the heat's turned up, look out.

And I just wrote three paragraphs on Fraser, and he's not on the top of the list! I don't know where he is, but apparently he's closer than I thought. Either that or I really have to write that Fraser meta that's been knocking at my brain.

Lord Arthur Goring

I love Wilde, but I've not seen his plays. Rupert Evert is Yummy.

Fitz played by Robbie Coltrane.

I've heard of both of them (fictional and player), but I don't know who they are.

[missapocalyptic.livejournal.com]

This hasn't ever been filmed, right?

Not that I'm aware of, no. But the description of Emerson sounds like Peters thought about PG when she invented him. He's just an awesome character.

You've never seen "The Big Lebowski"? Shame on you! Bestest movie ever, with Jeff Bridges playing the lead.

I posted this list half a year ago, and back then all people who'd done it before me listed Lennox, that's why I said "everybody".

You... you honestly don't know Robbie Coltrane??? He's awesome! "The compelling Cracker is among the more exciting British mystery series from the 1990s, featuring a hero so flawed he's just as likely to end up inside a jail cell as outside chasing bad guys. Robbie Coltrane, perhaps best known for playing Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies, is unconventional psychologist Eddie "Fitz" Fitzgerald, a rotund teacher who exhorts students to look within their dark hearts and who gleefully embraces his own addictions to gambling, booze, and nicotine."

And I don't buy the whole "Fraser would be terrible in bed" theory. I think that emotionally he's a pot put on to boil. When the heat's turned up, look out.

Fraser excels at pretty much everything he does, he's a very fast typist, has an oral fixation, is physically fit and a fast learner - who could seriously think he could be terrible in bed? Inexperienced, maybe (although I don't buy pre-Victoria virgin!Fraser either), hard-to get, yes, but once you've got him that far, he'd be fantastic! I also believe, although I have no evidence from the show) that he's a moaner and a breast-man. Which means he would happily devote as much time to my breasts as I whished (which would be a LOT) and...

however, actually every character ever played by Paul Gross would get on my list, but I figured that wouldn't be the meaning of the exercise and tried to be little more creative.

[bjohan57.livejournal.com]

Fraser excels at pretty much everything he does, he's a very fast typist, has an oral fixation, is physically fit and a fast learner

Sounds like his alter-ego.

My 5 fictional characters in no particular order:

1. Geoffrey Tennant (come on!)
2. Augustus Knickle (come on!)
3. Hawkeye Pierce
4. Tom Mclaughlin
5. Joshua Lyman..ooh no, Chris Cutter.

Frankly, if I could have all of them at the same time, then I would be happy woman.


As for Fraser in bed - he is brilliant at everything else, why not that? He would have studied it in his grandparents' travelling library ("Sex in the Snow! Practical tips for getting hot when cold!") and memorised the entire book. Plus, Victoria didn't seem to be too unhappy with the situation.

[bjohan57.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I'll expand a little on my list:

1. Geoffrey Tennant: Passionate, vulnerable, sexy intelligence, wears his heart on his sleeve, sex with him would just be a transformative experience, like his theatre. Plus, I can grab his hair.

2. Augustus Knickle: Laid-back, leads a rather bohemian life style on the coast with little money, non-judgemental, doesn't care what people think, quirky (speaks Russian, builds miniature golf-courses, closet athiest, keeps a pig, willing to have sex in nuclear sub). Has the priest thing going on...plus I can grab his hair as well.

3. Hawkeye Pierce: If I were on the front-line in a war zone, he would be the one I go to. Great sex without any commitment. Heroic, passionate and funny and supplies his own alcohol.

4. Tom McLaughlin - utter maniac but he does have that power thing going on, looks good in a suit and seems as though he would be excellent in bed, I'm just saying. I would just have to hope that he doesn't blow me up at some point.

5. Joshua Lyman - damaged but arrogant. Has nice eyes and very nice arms.
Chris Cutter - if he can manage to bring a woman to orgasm while they are in the front seat of a car and then bang her sister, he must have something going for him. Plus, looks great in his leather jacket, looks great everywhere else, and he can throw his rocks about whenever and however he likes, in my view. Bonus: His ass is to die/dribble for (For more: see Geoffrey Tennant).

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

speaks Russian, builds miniature golf-courses, closet athiest, keeps a pig, willing to have sex in nuclear sub)

OMG, he's from Bizarro!World just like me! Clearly we are MFEO. ANd he could teach me Russian. I've always wanted to learn Russian.

3. Hawkeye Pierce: If I were on the front-line in a war zone, he would be the one I go to. Great sex without any commitment. Heroic, passionate and funny and supplies his own alcohol.

Yes! How could I not have thought of him?

4. Tom McLaughlin - utter maniac but he does have that power thing going on, looks good in a suit and seems as though he would be excellent in bed, I'm just saying. I would just have to hope that he doesn't blow me up at some point.

Tom McLaughlin brings out my inner sub, for sure. Gah. All that power.

5. Joshua Lyman - damaged but arrogant. Has nice eyes and very nice arms.

The West Wing, right? It's SO on my List.

Chris Cutter - if he can manage to bring a woman to orgasm while they are in the front seat of a car and then bang her sister, he must have something going for him

Good point.

Plus, looks great in his leather jacket, looks great everywhere else, and he can throw his rocks about whenever and however he likes, in my view.

You can grab his hair, too.

Bonus: His ass is to die/dribble for (For more: see Geoffrey Tennant).

Exhibit A:



That's stormymouse's cap, to give her credit. *g*

Chris may very well be my physical ideal. Geoffrey's still my favourite, because he just is. Point of fact: I never paid a heck of a lot of attention to Paul beyond, "hey, he's pretty", until I saw Geoffrey. In fact I pretty much said as much in my first post about S&A

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Oh, THAT Robbie Coltrane. I know him from Harry Potter, but that's it. I obviously have terrible gaps in my education.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Not that I'm aware of, no. But the description of Emerson sounds like Peters thought about PG when she invented him. He's just an awesome character.

*adds book to list, emails Whizbang, calls Telefilm*

Okay, I know Robbie Coltrane, but only as Hagrid in HP. I've obviously got huge gaps in my education. And for some reason, Peter Outerbridge does nothing for me. I'll have to see him in other things, I guess.

Fraser excels at pretty much everything he does, he's a very fast typist, has an oral fixation, is physically fit and a fast learner - who could seriously think he could be terrible in bed?

He's very closed-off emotionally, but like I said, he's a pot put on to boil, and when the pot boils over, look out. I'm guessing the fast typist thing would mean good manual dexterity?

Also, Fraser having an oral fixation would do it for me. That's all she'd have to write, really (not that this is a deep dark secret or anything. *g*)

Inexperienced, maybe (although I don't buy pre-Victoria virgin!Fraser either

Victoria may have been Fraser's first, but I think her trip to Chicago wasn't her first time with Fraser. My theory is right after Fortitude Pass, right before he turned her in. Of course, Innusiq is a distinct possibility. Mostly because I like the name Innusiq.

however, actually every character ever played by Paul Gross would get on my list,

I'm not sure that this is true for me. I'll have to get back to you. *g*

[melpemone.livejournal.com]

You included photos. I LOVE that. I'm tagging you for all the memes I do that might result in photos of Paul Gross from now on. :-)

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Up to and including "Which Old God in the Lovecraft Mythos Are You"?

or maybe "List ten of your favourite Latin Declensions?

or possibly, "Fossilised Crabgrass: Can you identify the fake?"

Because, y'know, any of those might qualify.

[patchfire.livejournal.com]

You do realise that there aren't ten Latin declensions, right? There are only five. Or is it four? At most there are five.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

That's what makes it so difficult.
Someday I might even know what a declension is. I only know they exist. Kind of like a "manifold" in a car.

[patchfire.livejournal.com]

When I see "manifold," I think of "lethifolds" in HPverse. Which says something about me. What, I don't know.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

I think of "Manifest". Like "Manifest Destiny." Which hopefully doesn't say a lot about me other than that I word associate.

[patchfire.livejournal.com]

It means you want to take over the world Canada. Just like your son.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Manifest Destiny is an American concept, no?

[patchfire.livejournal.com]

Right. American taking over. So, clearly, you want to take over the REST of North America.

This makes sense in my head. Really.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

[patchfire.livejournal.com]

"Alaska is northerner, curse them!"

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

For if I said I was American, people'd prob'ly think I came from Maaaaaine!

[mickeymvt.livejournal.com]

100 mill for a player that no one knows if he'll be ANY good in the majors. Un-freakin'-believable. The price for Barry Zito just went up too *sigh*

Interesting list.. I'd say mine would have about half your list on list, plus add in Iolaus from HTLJ, Harper from Andromeda, about half the cast of LOTR, Leoben (hello, he's a freakin' robot!) and oh, hell, adult Charles Main from the North and South mini-series that's about 20 years old now.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

I remember that miniseries! It's the one with Patrick Swayze, right? I think?

[mickeymvt.livejournal.com]

Yeppers! That's the one. Kirstie Alley, David Ogden Stiers and who bunch of other people as well.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

I LOVED that series. :) I don't know how I'd like it now, but then, I was very into it. History Geek meets Incurable Romantic. *g*

[mickeymvt.livejournal.com]

HEE! It would come across as dated, I think, but God, just the storyline draws me in. I love the Pre-Civil War, Civil War and post-C.W eras, so it hits my history jones hard as well.

Now I want to watch it!

[moonlight69]

Can I say how surprised I am to see YOU list Brian? I just...I don't know, he never really struck me as your type. I mean, he's numero uno on MY list, but...really?

I think I just fell in love with you a bit more. *kisses*

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding? I've always loved Brian! He's gorgeous and closed-off and flawed and would rather have people think he was an asshole than show that he's hurt or scared or in love. *sigh* I love a person with current under the surface. And besides, he's hot. *g*

[moonlight69]

YES! EXACTLY! God, I love him so much. *snuggles her w00bie ad exec*

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Darling, I've loved him for years. Where have you BEEN? :)

[moonlight69]

I DON'T KNOW! How did I not know this?

What really scares me is how easy it is to PLAY him, for me. :P

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

That's like how easy it is for me to write Fraser, which supposedly is really difficult for a lot of people. *shrugs* We have a lot in common, I guess. Except the whole jumping off buildings thing. *g*

[moonlight69]

See, that's the thing, though! I have nothing in common with Brian! I'm very open about my feelings, I believe in love above ALL ELSE...and I'm definitely not an asshole to my dearest friends. *G*

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's what Brian would be like if he weren't totally fucked up? I dunno. Hmm.

[moonlight69]

Also? ZOMG I do NOT have his wit. It's like I channel him, somehow!

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

That's one thing Brian and I DO have in common. We both have a dry, sarcastic wit, only mine's closer to the dry end and his to the sarcastic. And he's better at it than I am.

I'd also do him just because he's hot like a very hot thing. After I grew a penis, of course.

[moonlight69]

I think I do a pretty good job with him, most of the time, wit and all. I CAN be witty and sarcastic, but it's not reliable. ;)

Yeah, he's numero uno on my list. I figure if it's all fictional characters anyway, I can fictionally be hung. ;)

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

I'll have to go and make up a male and a female fictional self. Maybe even several selves. Whee!

[maggiesox.livejournal.com]

Heh. I have been saying for a few weeks now that I think Theo and Brian Cashman traded jobs and just didn't tell anyone.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

I dunno. It's getting weird.

[stormwynd.livejournal.com]

OK, I just posted mine on my journal. I had a tough time trimming the list down to 10....

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was my problem, too. *g*

[peacey.livejournal.com]

I've been hibernating from the 'net of late, but I'm back and am at this very moment posting my list to my journal. Thanks for tagging! I do loves to be tagged!
