Sadly, Delaware Singer Is Not On The List.
My father has come up with 'Shoot Your Shopping', a rather brilliant idea for revolutionising online supermarket shopping. You travel down virtual aisles, shooting at objects you want. Special offers occasionally appear at the top of the screen, and if you are the first to shoot an offer you get it. You have the opportunity, at the end of your shopping trip, to pay five pounds for a minigame in which you try to fight your way past the security guards; if you succeed, your shopping is free (your odds are better on smaller purchases). My brother made the suggestion that you have to avoid other trollies in the virtual aisles, because if you crash into one you will receive a box of broken eggs.
Seriously, if there were an online shopping system like that, you can't tell me you wouldn't use it.
AND NOW TO THE TRUE PURPOSE OF THIS ENTRY. This is a meme I did a while ago, and it was a lot of fun then.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shizuka_blooms has reminded me of it by posting a variation, and I think it's time to give it another go, as I have acquired a number of new fandoms since I last tried it. Hurrah!
1) Make a list offifteen twenty-one (yeah, I've got no self-discipline at all) characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment. (That way you're not leading the questions asked to fit the characters.)
2) Ask your flist to post questions in the comments.
For example:
'One, Nine, Fifteen and Twenty-One are chosen by a prophecy to save the world from Four. Do they succeed?'
'Under what circumstances might Five and Seven fall in love?'
'Which character on the list would you most want on your side in a zombie invasion?'
'What would Two experience in Silent Hill?'
'What Pokémon would Eight have?'
'Write a drabble in which Sixteen and Nineteen FIGHT CRIME.' (...possibly not technically a question.)
3) After your flist has asked enough questions, round them up and answer them using the twenty-one (augh) characters you selected beforehand, then post them.
Ask away! (And please feel free to ask as many questions as you would like.)

As I am slightly bored and insane, I am going to fill this in with random Top Gear Presenters.

"So, James, how long have you been a homosexual?"
"How long have you been fantasizing about me being one?"
"I'm assuming the motorcycle is so you have an excuse to swan about in leather trousers. Does you get many blokes checking out your arse? Particularly Richard, under drunk and embarrassing circumstances I can get you to repeat on national television?"
"I have not!"
"Well, there's one man I know who always seems to notice. Every time I ride my motorcycle around him, he stares at my bottom and makes remarks. He's constantly insinuating that I'm a homosexual, and can't stop talking about men, male attractiveness, and who is or isn't gay. Rather a blatant closet-case, but I think he could be a nice boyfriend once he grows out of it."
"Oh, God. You did not just say that. Jeremy, tell me he did not just say that. Oh, God, why are you smiling?"
"And in the meantime, you can always have another drunken summer romance with Oz Clarke."
"Actually, the principle problem of summers with Oz is that he doesn't let me drink enough."
"I would give anything not to be in this conversation right now."

"Well, that was unexpected."
"Jezza, did you know about Richard and the Stig?"
"Not a clue, mate. I didn't even know the helmet came off, let alone that Hamster would want to snog what was underneath."
"He did look happy."
"True. Want to shag? The entire audience collapsed in shock when the Stig opened his visor."
"I suppose."
"Homosexualist."
"Pikey."
