Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, YES!, nope, nope, nope, and nope.

Thanks for playing! ;p You can keep guessing if you like, seeing as how you're the only one playing.

1. Xander, 2. Wesley, 3. Jayne, 9. Robot Man, 10. Faramir, 11. Helo, 13. Bridget, 15. Clark, 17. Anne, and 20. Ian S's character.

Yes, yes, yes, no, no, no, no, no, no, and yes.

[fenwic.livejournal.com]

Damn. Xander's the only I knew for sure. So, guesses all around --

5. Erm, John Cusack? 10. Frodo 11. Dee? 13. Darcy 15. LEX 17. Anne

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

No, no, no, no, no, and no. Sorry!

[fenwic.livejournal.com]

Sigh. I suck even worse than I thought. But not Darcy? Not Lex? Does not compute!

What about... Elizabeth and Chloe?

[fenwic.livejournal.com]

Erm, Bridget and Chloe.

16. Lindsay
17. Marilla

That's as far as I know.

[dionneshea.livejournal.com]

That's as far as I know.
Or for those who aren't incredibly hungover - those are the only fandoms I know.

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

Heh. You got one. :D

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

Wrong on all counts. You'd think Silent Bob would be my favorite, what with my Kevin Smith crush. But no.

Thank you, come again!

Um, #17 is Matthew. Well, if it's not, you're a heartless girl. Heartless.

[sunbrae.livejournal.com]

You know, Xander, Wesley, and Jayne were my first guesses. Chloe was my first guess after Lex. For some reason, I talked myself out of them.

Dork! (Me, not you.)

Re: yakgirl says

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

Oh! I didn't even think of him, but yes, you're completely right. He IS my favorite. (I was originally going for Morgan Harris, but Matthew totally wins.)

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

You got one!

[fava-bean.livejournal.com]

7. Mogget

11. Number 6

19. Margie

6. The guy who lives in the woods who is all mysterious and magical (can you tell it has been a LONG time since I last read the books?) He's the recluse guy.


Did I get any?

[fava-bean.livejournal.com]

10. Aragorn?

[fava-bean.livejournal.com]

Luthe, right???!!?!?!!!??!

[dionneshea.livejournal.com]

This is driving me crazy. I must know!

5. Barry
8. Jay
9. Leela
10. Aragorn was going to be my next guess, but fava_bean has already guessed that. So in case it's not him... Gandalf?
11. Boomer

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

All nope.

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's him.

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

Yes, no, yes, yes.

5. Dick
8. Randall
9. Zoidberg
11. Helo
16. Haverchuck


--Greg

[katesti.livejournal.com]

So if 5 isn't Barry, then it's either Dick or...possibly Marie?

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

Rock on, you! You got all but one.

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

D'oh! Greg beat you in by a minute. I'll give you credit as well, since you a) were typing your post as Greg was submitting his, and b) you also guessed my second-favorite character, Marie.

[katesti.livejournal.com]

W00t!

You like Randall better than Jay??! *gasp*

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

Dude, Randall's the shit. Especially when he gets run down Planet of the Apes-style in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. He's also the one who did the Salsa Shark, and for that, I love him.

Seriously, if I knew a guy like Randall in real life, I'd totally want to date him.

I can see the Randall thing. Mostly because he doesn't get enough screen time to wear out his welcome (like J&SB) or become a whiny beyatch (like every other male in the Askewniverse -- and I like) these movies).


We'll start combing the video stores for you. Plenty of minimum-wage earners out there looking for sugarmommas (well, Splendamommas -- yr. not management yet) who can keep them in Soviet hockey sweaters and hermaphrodite pr0n. --GS.

Soviet hockey sweaters and hermaphrodite pr0n

That's my kind of man! ;)

Randall gets more "screentime" in Clerks: The Animated Series. Somehow, he doesn't get annoying there, either. I'll be interested to see him in The Passion of the Clerks; hopefully he's still an a-hole.
