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.
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.)

Re: This probably shouldn't be read.
The other one was pretty funny as well.
Re: This probably shouldn't be read.
I've worked out that it'll be Dean Winchester looking for James Sunderland in Silent Hill with some guy I've never heard of, and The Master flirting with Jeremy Clarkson before some guy I never heard of runs off with the Stig, so I'm very excited about Riona's versions. Although I rather wish I'd managed to work Pyramid Head in, because Pyramid Head/Stig would be an astounding couple.
Re: This probably shouldn't be read.
Yeah, I've worked out that I've got Jack Harkness and Sharpay Evans and some guy I've never heard of discovering tgs, which should be interesting, and Pyramid Head getting attacked by a giant squid while visiting Phineas Nigellus and (asdflgjk! I've just realized that there's a squid at Hogwarts where PN is!) his only hope for rescue is either a loon or a murderer, which I cannot wait to see what comes of that.
(bytheway, have you managed to cath this (http://bubbles-san.livejournal.com/16492.html) post yet?)
Re: This probably shouldn't be read.
And Jack, Sharpay, and Mystery Man finding TGS should be fun. And you've just made me feel sorry for the Hogwarts squid, picturing it going up against Pyramid Head.
Awesome poll! I'm going to have to stick with you/Stig.
Re: This probably shouldn't be read.
I know! He's not even going to need the crazy guy or the murderer! (the really sad part is that I've not even heard of SH before meeting Riona. Is this what she does to people?)
Everyone's doing that! It has apparently become bubbles!fic *canon* that I keep him in one of my closets (actually, he's not happy with me right now, as I have been abusing my GR icon today and he rather suspects I might fangirl him as well and I'm not entirely sure he's wrong help.)
Re: This probably shouldn't be read.
The downside of abusing the Gordon Ramsey icon is that I tend to visualize people as their icons. The upside is that it makes me want to nudge you into writing Gordon Ramsey/James May.
Er here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTOfhQ_SZEg
Re: This probably shouldn't be read.
I've only been abusing it today, because I got up super early this morning and was too incoherent to pick out specific icons for each comment, so I started using it and decided that I would only use that one today. (Does that mean you picture me as an abrasive chef with a pet Sandshrew?)
(I've already seen that, but have no problems watching it again) ARGH That didn't help! But now I may actually may decide to write it. (The only problem I have with writing GR is that I don't really like to write swearing.) But seriously! I don't want to fangirl Gordon Ramsay! I meant help as in help me stop! And watching that again it is rediculously slashy. Why didn't I notice before?
Re: This probably shouldn't be read.
You only get one kind of help around here, and it isn't help to stop. And I do hope you write it; it's unbelievably slashy. He touches James a lot, practically molests him with a hairnet, has this bizarre excited nervous vibe, and gets James to eat cock!
Re: This probably shouldn't be read.
I"m still a bit stuck on the oven bit where James says he'll be on the bottom. My brain may have actually short-circuited at that point, as I didn't actually have the video up and was merely listening to it.
