Stolen from sarff_nodwydd

Name three characters that I must choose among: one to have an affair with (I’m cleaning up the language from her post, yes), one to marry, and one to throw off of a cliff.
(If the character is somewhat obscure, or you aren't sure I know where it’s from, just list the source with the character, please).

Affair: Jayne...the man they call "Jayne"
Marriage: Cap'n "Tight-Pants" Reynolds :)
Throw off of a cliff: (to get out of this _Firefly_ mode) Dawn (As in Buffy's moronic sister)

I might have to disagree slightly with the affair bit, but I'm wholly on board with the other two. I'm all about Captain Malcom "Tight-Pants" Reynolds. And once the movie comes out, I'll probably just drop "Mr. Universe" into that nice little slot you've got Jayne in...since Jayne just isn't my cup of tea.

Small thing, here, though: you're supposed to just name three characters and make *me* decide what I'd do with them. :P

Example: I gave the person I stole this from: Benedick, Crawley (from the book Good Omens) and Lister from Red Dwarf. And she had to figure out which to do what with.

I give you:

Giles (from Buffy)
Simon Tam (Firefly)
Whatever Adam Brody's character's name is on the O.C.

Now, you have to decide. :)

sorry...I guess I was too hyped to get you hooked up with Cap'n Tightpants that I wasn't reading right :)

Lessee...You're a tough one, lady...

Seth Cohen (Adam Brody): F*ck 'im (he would be entertaining, but whiney and clingy afterwards, thus a perpetual ego-boost)

Simon: Marry 'im. He's got the education for a good conversation, the bling, the medical skillz, and that whole caring for his sister thing...sweet. Also, remember him in Objects in Space when he is without a shirt?? YUUUUMMMMMYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Giles: Follows Dawn off of that cliff. I would love to hear him cry out and beg in his "Dick Van Dyke School of British Accents" accent for mercy.

I have a soft spot for Giles. It's my generic soft spot for somewhat reserved but decidedly brainy Brits. I can't help myself.

Me, personally, I'd have to pitch Seth Cohen over the cliff. And the rest of the characters from the show, I think. But then, it isn't my Guilty Pleasure.

Copperfield's going off of the cliff, by default.

Snape's interesting, so we'll sack-hop with him. Handy to be banging a potions prof, I would expect.

Total soft spot for Mac, so ring those wedding bells.

Great book. Books, really, although I prefer the second one.

And, honestly, who would it be other than Mac? Let’s run down the list, shall we?

Archie - Well, ok, I’ve always pictured him in my head as the most handsome…not gorgeous, just handsome. He’d probably be a second choice, ‘cause he’s just a little stodgy.

Charlie - Cannot abide a man with no self-control, willpower, or temperence. And spoiled rotten to boot. No, thank you. Don’t care how dashing he was.

Steve - A dandy. Right. ‘Cause we all know how much patience I have with the Fop Squads in the Society. Ummm…no.

Mac - Intelligent. Eccentric. Hermit tendencies. General disdain for social conventions. Sooooo my kind of man.

Will & Geordie - Get absolutely no personality in the books whatsoever. Perfect soldiers, they have no thoughts of their own. Pass.

Jamie - Umm…not into the kid thing, thanks.

Although, truly told, the most attractive man in the books is Uncle Alec. But that’s why Mac is a good choice.

Why again are we throwing Dawn off a cliff?

Not our Dawn. Dawn the annoying and completely useless little sister from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Michelle Trachtenberg. Can't act her way out of a paper bag. And yet, she has the starring role in Ice Princess.

OK, lady...how about this one...

Farmer Ted (_16 Candles_ King of the Dipwads)
Cameron (_Feris Bueler's Day Off_ chronicly depressed hockey-jersey wearing tall-boy)
Duckie (_Pretty in Pink_ hopeless romantic prone to academic suicide)

And this not quite JH one...The many faces of John Cusak
John Cusak in _Better Off Dead_
John Cusak in _Say Anything_
John Cusak in _The Sure Thing_

Re: John Hughes Geek-Triad rinabird February 25 2005, 17:05:26 UTC
On the first:
Ok, Cameron is getting married, because he's at least got that depressing sense of responsibilty, and we'll get him meds.
Duckie is in the sack.
Farmer Ted is going over a cliff.

On the second,

Lloyd (SAy Anything) is getting married, 'cause dang, he's got that sense of loyalty, and a major romantic streak.
Better Off Dead John is going to bed.
The other I'm not familiar with, so cliff 'im.
