chuckle…snort…PFFFFFFFFFT! BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!

Sorry. Anyone who’s actually met the Goddess \*_wring_ will find this one as hysterical as I do.

I know Kathy Bates has been mentioned for someone else, but man, she’d make a perfect wring. Oh yeah.

As for me…hm. **BunnyGirl’s** choice of Lucille Ball is obvious (it’s the hair), but Stevie Nicks? I find that one _really_ flattering. But my singing voice leaves something to be desired. Like earplugs.

**UncleBeer:** Young Charlton Heston. Not because of the gun thing, though, but because he was a **major** hottie. Big time. Hoooooo buddy. 😃

\*\*thinksnow:[/b} Young Vincent Price. I saw an old Vincent Price flick on TCM a couple of weeks ago, and I swear to the Goddess, I could not stop drooling. And when they showed him shirtless…all’s I can say is man, I was born WAY too late. :eek:

Ben Affleck? I HAVE heard that people tell him he looks like me… 😛

**Stoid**? - Betty freakin’ Page, baby.

**TequilaMockingbird** - Fairuza Balk, sensual and dangerous (but not nearly stacked enough ;))

**Eve** - Judi Dench (not in a period piece, more like in _As Time Goes By_)

**TruePisces** - Estella Warren

**purplebear** - Reese Witherspoon

**AbbySthrnAccent** - Angie Harmon

**GingeroftheNorth** - Elizabeth Hurley (as a redhead)

**hardygrrl** - Denise Richards

**screech-owl** - Sela Ward, no question.

**Arden Ranger** - Brigitte Nielsen, a la _Red Sonja_. [sub]Can’t picture Arden as anything less than a Frazetta or Vallejo painting.[/sub]

**Coldfire** - Mark Wahlberg, but with a longer prosthesis. [sub]and vigorous acting lessons.[/sub]

**UncleBeer** - John Goodman if he pulls a DeNiro and gets svelte for the role.

**SuaSponte** - Val Kilmer

**Weirddave** - Steve Buscemi (kind of a latter-day Peter Lorre)

**SPOOFE** - Anthony Daniels 😛

**Tygr** - Oded Fehr

Cool, it looks like I can still get Kevin Spacey to play me. Of course, we’ll have to convince him to shave his head for the role. 😃

Two bad calls eh? Well hey, gimme a break. I’m working off of imagination here!

Tripler… I dunno, he still strikes me as a flintlock toting, flannel wearing guy with a lot of critters around him.

Wring. Sorry, I just wasn’t sure. I guess this means a hot date is out of the question? Knowing the difference now I’d go with Rebecca Demornay. (an attitude thing)

sewalk: Ed Harris.

Uncle Beer: Robert Shaw (Quinn role, of course).

Carina42: Patricia Richardson

Odieman: John Cryer

Arden Ranger: Gail O’Grady

KKBattousai: D.B. Wong

ExTank: Woody Harrelson

Johnny LA: Bruce Willis (Hudson Hawk role)

Shayna: Mira Sorvino

Manservant Hercubus: Jeff Goldblum

Astroboy: John Cusack

FairyChatMom: Joan Rivers. (Bette Midler would be close too but I would never have her in my movie).

Broomstick: Ellen Barkin

Thanks Katiekilldare. 🙂

Here are a few of mine. I’m including deceased actors, because my powers are such that I can transcend space and time.

**Fenris** : Kevin Smith.  
**Scylla** : Tommy Lee Jones.  
**Coldfire** : Since he’s been called a nazi so many times, I’m tempted to say Werner Kemplerer. If the rumors about Uncle Milty are true, we might want him to be a body double for Coldfire’s trans-Atlantic penis. Which, in the stupendous special effects extravaganza of a climax, will sink the Titanic.  
**Qadgop the Mercotan** : Vincent Price in a shiny silver jumpsuit.  
**SuaSponte** : Tom Cruise  
**thinksnow** : Wilford Brimley (no particular reason, I just wanted Wilford Brimley to be in the movie)  
**JDT** : Crispen Glover

I, of course, shall be played by the Taco Bell Chihuahua. But I shall be voiced by Barry White.

Hot Diggity! This is a fun game.

**Hardygrrl** says Ashley Judd, **Cartooniverse** says Bonnie Bonnie Bedelia, and **Tygr** says Angie Harmon. Which I find amazingly complimentary and ironic since I drew up near Dallas not far from where she grew up.

May I have multiple personality disorder and be played by all three?

Oh and **Tygr** , if I were casting Brad Pitt would play you. Rroawrr!

When I think of **Eve,** I tend to picture _Meet John Doe_-era Barbara Stanwyck. With Deanna Durbin doing the singing.

**Elenfair** would be played by beautiful Minnie Driver.

**Welfy** (bless her, where has she gone?) would definitely be portrayed by Alanis Morrissette.

The roles of **hardygrrl** and **jarbabyj** , of course, would require the Olsen twins.

Just kidding.

Now that’s funny. One Olsen twin calling people clitnibblers and the other talking about getting fingercuffed.
