Shit. This is going to be really goddamn difficult to choose, but...

Pride of place at the table has to go to Robert Downey Junior, and I don't think I'll get much argument on that point; he's a genuinely fascinating person and it gives my man-crush more credence for having him there. With the film industry accounted for, the second place would naturally be Alan Moore, if only to say that I'd admitted I liked an adaptation of his work and lived. This means I can't give any love to Geoff Johns or Stan Lee, but I'll live; however, since comic books and literature are two entirely different things, it does mean I can invite Terry Pratchett.

Music is unaccounted for thus far, but that's because it's a really difficult choice to make. I want to say Neil Peart but, much as I adore the man, he does appear to identify with Ayn Rand and I have previously referred to Rand's books as "a boil on the ass of "modern classic" literature". Since he's now in the B-party, music will be represented by Bruce Dickinson instead, for he could simply sit and tell war stories all night and nobody would object. Since this party is becoming rather a sausage-fest, television is a separate thing to films and thus I can bring Kristen Bell along as well, meaning that if necessary, I could simply talk gaming with her all night. (Lastly, because I make the rules, I'd be accompanied by the girl who currently just wants to be my friend rather than anything else. If this dinner party wouldn't sway her, nothing will). In the B-party, to be held the following night, would be Neil Peart, Gina Carano, Sasha Grey, Booster Gold (yes, I'm inviting a fictional character. I feel it's necessary) and Hugh Laurie.

Good question. I approve.

JtohisPB made me think of an interesting question:

If you could meet 5 dead people, who would they be? (I got the question off of facebook... I know, I'm ashamed, I'm sorry...)

 

[unregistered]

 

[MisterSir]

Keith Moon, Ayn Rand (mostly so I could give her a slap), Adam Smith, Franz Kafka and Ben Parker (so I could ask him how it feels to be possibly the only person in comics who has died and not been brought back to life).

Hows about, which 5 Literoticans would you like to meet? And, why?
(This one's tough...politics and all.)

The hell it is, this one's easy.

Homburg - I'd like to learn all that fancy shit with the ropes and he's pretty good at it. He can also appreciate the value of a guitar solo. I like this.
nh23 - I include her Master in this because he and I apparently have a lot of things in common, but I'm listed as her student on Fetlife for a reason and that's because she's goddamn smart.
WriterDom - meeting him seems like the easiest way to deduce whether or not he genuinely is full of shit about his sexual prowess.
Satin - I think most people here would want to meet our mama nerd if they had the chance.
And fifth, cheating a bit because she's never actually joined up, my stalker from CM - anybody who thinks she'd be into me if she were single and English has to have at least one screw loose, I want to know which.

On the B-list, and I realise that label will not exactly endear me to them, are Keroin, Netzach, you, possibly Sayyid as well and either ZRT or Sir Winston. I can't decide.

 

[Keroin]

OK, OK, besides the girl who only wants to be friends, who would you most like to eat toast with...while naked?

(Yeah, I totally ripped off the Talkie Toaster. I have no shame.)

 

[MisterSir]

OK, OK, besides the girl who only wants to be friends, who would you most like to eat toast with...while naked?

I wouldn't really want to eat toast with anybody while naked right now, I am a tubby little fuck and have contrived to grow a beer belly without drinking beer, but if I magically lost four stone overnight, the shortlist would be:

0) FriendGirl (she is gorgeous. Somebody here's seen a picture, I think it's NH, and she agrees; conversely, my best mate described her as "not out of your league", so I'm left wondering whether he's a liar or whether I'm more attractive than I think)
1) Felicia Day
2) My best female friend (incidentally, also a red-head. It's not quite as obvious, but it's there)
3) Felicia Day
4) A female member here who I'm not comfortable identifying on her behalf
5) Hayley Williams

...

6) Felicia Day

Don't look at me like that. I have a thing for those of the red-headed persuasion, sue me

(Yeah, I totally ripped off the Talkie Toaster. I have no shame.)

We can discuss your lack of shame later but, for now, an important question needs answering:

Do you or do you not cost more than nineteen-dollarpounds-ninety-nine?

 

[satindesire]

Satin - I think most people here would want to meet our mama nerd if they had the chance.

You are such a honey.

If you lived here in the states I would make a concentrated effort to come visit you sometime after the baby's born. Get on that move across the pond, Stat!!

I'm not sure what it says about me that I know none of the people you picked as naked, toast eating friends. Well, I know your best female friend...but that's a long, complicated story and I don't think the See-Eye-Ay, (yeah, I know you're reading this you bastards!), would appreciate me opening that can of worms.

Oh, I'd answer your question...if I weren't on the B list.

P.S. from now on you can get all your naked birthday photos form Homburg.

 

[jenniferbaby]

P.S. Bad Willow makes me happy in my pants.

This made me giggle like a schoolgirl at work. Thankfully it was the end of the day and I don't think anyone heard me.

Totally hi-jacking, but, you know, I loved good Spike. Maybe "good Spike" isn't accurate, but the desperation when he and Buffy get together was very believable and I liked him more and more after that. I've never really considered that I enjoyed bad Angel, bad Willow, and "good Spike" before. Hmm. I especially loved the bantering that took place between Angel and Spike in the last season of Angel.

One last hi-jack. I never cared much for good Spike, though I did enjoy seeing him help save the world in the end. I thought he lost his "bite" so to speak when he and Buffy started fucking. And as much as I like sex, watching the two of them kind of grossed me out, to be honest.

To MisterSir: What do you consider the "metaphorical jugular"? What questions would you ask someone if you wanted to go there? (And go ahead and answer them. )

KK My questions for you.

1. If given a choice between Wonder Woman and Cat Woman who would you date and why?

2. Do you think Nirvana would have gotten bigger if Kurt hadn't died, or would they have crashed and burned?

3. How much damage could you do to the green lantern with a banana and a number 2 pencil?

4.If you could choose to be any villain, who would it be?

5.Do you love Robot Chicken as much as I do?

6.Would you rather spend a romantic evening with Buffy or Faith?

7.If you could have one superpower what would it be?

I have to add as a side note that I was tickled pink when Buffy and Spike were fucking. A lot of S&M undertones. It was porn for me.

[MisterSir]

To address a concern - this is Felicia Day. Speaks for itself, no?

Well, I know your best female friend...but that's a long, complicated story and I don't think the See-Eye-Ay, (yeah, I know you're reading this you bastards!), would appreciate me opening that can of worms.

Are you stalking me? Does it not get crowded? Do you have to work to a schedule? Is it your turn every Thursday and alternate Fridays? Who deals with weekends? These are important questions.

P.S. from now on you can get all your naked birthday photos form Homburg.

As the Blue Beetle once said about J'onn J'onnz, he does have some of that bald guy machismo about him and it does seem to be working for him. If I were of the persuasion that enjoyed dick...

To MisterSir: What do you consider the "metaphorical jugular"? What questions would you ask someone if you wanted to go there? (And go ahead and answer them. )

I could answer that, but then that'd just take all the fun and achievement out of it for you guys. It's much more satisfying to discover where a person's line lies then skip merrily over it.

 

[MisterSir]

1. If given a choice between Wonder Woman and Cat Woman who would you date and why?

If the choice were strictly between them, Wonder Woman. Generally more attractive, I could do just about whatever I wanted to her without damage, she's clearly into it and, since this is my question, I can make her look like Peri Gilpin and it's all gravy. If the choice were more free, it'd be a hard choice between Harley Quinn and the Huntress.

2. Do you think Nirvana would have gotten bigger if Kurt hadn't died, or would they have crashed and burned?

Neither. They wouldn't have crashed, but they'd have probably gone on for another few years before breaking up, and people would in the future say that they shouldn't have waited those few years, they could have gone out when they were most famous. It should be noted that, if it hadn't happened, the chances of Dave Grohl forming the Foo Fighters is measurably lower and that is not a good thing.

3. How much damage could you do to the green lantern with a banana and a number 2 pencil?

It depends which Green Lantern. Alan Scott's weakness, for instance, was actually to wood rather than to the colour yellow, so nothing. Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner are both experienced enough to fight through the yellow weakness, so even less. John Stewart is an ex-Marine, so I wouldn't even get to see him before he constructs up a sniper rifle and takes me out from eight miles, and I'd simply fall over laughing at Guy Gardner's hair.

4.If you could choose to be any villain, who would it be?

Lex Luthor. He's smart enough to realise he lives in a world where "It wasn't me, officer, it was my mind-controlled evil robot clone from a parallel universe" is a credible legal defense and the only reason he gets his ass kicked all the time is because he willingly takes on Superman. I'd either go straight or take down Batman first.

5.Do you love Robot Chicken as much as I do?

No. I like Robot Chicken, but some of the humour is quite puerile and I have to be in the right mood for it.

6.Would you rather spend a romantic evening with Buffy or Faith?

As with the first question, Buffy if I were forced to pick between the two, but Anya if I had freer reign. Honestly, who wouldn't want to date a former demon of vengeance?

7.If you could have one superpower what would it be?

If you consider a Green Lantern power ring a superpower, that. If not, then probably the Flash's connection to the Speed Force. Basically, he's a guy who can run at the speed of light.

1. who is the single most overrated guitarist in popular music.
2. what makes joss whedon such a great writer?
3. which web browser do you use?
4. what one fact about you do you think most lit regulars would be surprised to learn?

If Herman Li plays popular music, him; BPM is not some kind of challenge or mark you have to set lest you be considered inferior. If not, I'm genuinely not sure. My first thought would be Dave Mustaine, but he's a good guitarist and it's just his lyrics that are cringey. Similarly, I don't know what makes Joss' productions so entertaining, but you have to acknowledge the work of his cast in that - I don't think I've ever been struck by somebody in Buffy or Firefly that just doesn't belong. I use Firefox and though I have frequently admitted I can't sing, I enjoy karaoke because I'm often just drunk enough not to be fazed by the audience. I've never had the opportunity to do it, but I can do a passable version of the Spirit of Radio.

Or, if that's not good enough, sometimes I browse through the "Missed Connections" thing on the London and Kent Craigslist pages to see if I'm mentioned. Pathetic, I know.

Hey, what do you know!

MisterSir is a Rush fan!

Cool.

Yes.

Yes, I am.

Heroic pose.

(About the Kurt Cobain question)

Neither. They wouldn't have crashed, but they'd have probably gone on for another few years before breaking up, and people would in the future say that they shouldn't have waited those few years, they could have gone out when they were most famous. It should be noted that, if it hadn't happened, the chances of Dave Grohl forming the Foo Fighters is measurably lower and that is not a good thing.


To be very honest, Kurt had decided he wanted to change his music style. Instead of stroking the same 3 chords and getting mad as hell (and I won't take it anymore!) on stage, he wanted to start operating a little more on the creative side and taking things smoother. Once Frances came along, he said he didn't want to be the focus of attention anymore, that he thought people were misinterpreting his lyrics, so he wanted to try and target a newer audience. Although the labels were completely against it, the rest of the band members seemed to agree.

So even though this isn't my question to answer, I will anyways (pff!). Had Kurt Cobain not shot himself (or been murdered, who really knows?), who knows where they could've ended up. Perhaps they'd have never made it big with their big change, perhaps they would have done something greater than they had before. But, maybe fans wouldn't have accepted this change and it would have been the end of Nirvana. This being said, I doubt very highly Kurt wanted to remain on the peak of the music industry... I think going underground, a little more incognito would have been a little more to his liking...


Since I don't want to sound like a douche, answering what I wasn't being asked, I'll ask you another question:

Toaster Strudels or Pop Tarts

 

[MALIBUMAN666]

So MisterSir, the really big question...

'O Batterista' or 'The Rhythm Method'?


- - -

And do not be dissing Mustaine's guitar skills, even as a thought process....his lyrics though, yeah, pretty dreadful.

 

[nh23]

Do you have a pet name for your member?

 

[MisterSir]

Toaster Strudels or Pop Tarts

Waffles. I don't know what, if anything you guys call them, but waffles are one of those rare things you can eat and eat and eat without feeling fat.

'O Batterista' or 'The Rhythm Method'?

O Baterista. Sometimes, I have trouble believing it's done by one person. That said, it's a distant third to YYZ and La Villa Strangiato as far as instrumentals go.

Do you have a pet name for your member?

No, and that's another one of those things that shouldn't really be done yourself because it's rather disturbing.

 

[Mac98]

Agreed, but homemade waffles... eggos are gross!

 

[Eilan]

Which did you discover first: Lit's stories or the message boards?

 

[MALIBUMAN666]

O Baterista. Sometimes, I have trouble believing it's done by one person. That said, it's a distant third to YYZ and La Villa Strangiato as far as instrumentals go.

'La Villa...' , now that's something else.

 

[MisterSir]

Message boards before stories, but not by much. I started out on BDSM Library, then moved to their message boards, then got directed to here in answer to some asinine question or another I'd asked, then found the story archives, although I do prefer the Library archives to here because the search is much more helpful.

This made me giggle like a schoolgirl at work. Thankfully it was the end of the day and I don't think anyone heard me.

Is it not completely true, though?

Seriously.

 

[fire_breeze]

Oooh, an excellent choice!

Who's your favourite superhero and why?

If you can change one thing about the society in which you currently live in, what would it be and why?

What are some of your pet peeves?

What is the most important quality for you?

How did you discover Lit?

That's it for now.
