Henry VIII - Edgar Allan Poe - and Vincent van Gogh, who responds… “You too share a lust for life! We will pursue it together!” What your date might be like… Dates with van Gogh are unpredictable-- you might end up having a perfectly nice afternoon picnic with him in the countryside, or you might end up in a shouting match with him in his bedroom, dodging any small objects he might throw at you. Van Gogh is a very religious man who at one point became a preacher, so it’s possible that you will end up on the receiving end of a manic sermon if you’re not careful what you say. Most importantly: hide any sharp implements when you’re around him. heh 🙂 He can keep his sermons to himself. Unless he wants to be completely ear-less. ---

Ernest Shackleton, Henry VIII and Socrates. Ernest Shackleton, intrepid South Pole explorer, advises me before our date to “Wear something warm and have a good meal before you go. Also, don’t bring any pets.” That last part sounds ominous. ---

My dead soul mates are Billy the Kid, Leonardo da Vinci (wasn’t he supposedly gay?) and P.T. Barnum. Talk about a rock and a hard place. ---

I got Henry VIII, Ludwig van Beethoven, and El Bandito. It was a tough choice, but me and Hank will get along splendidly, I’m sure. For a little while, anyway. 😃 ---

After an inasuspicius start due to some confusion as to what those symbols meant I got: Mata Hari Eva Peron Annie Oakley I went with Eva and she accepted. This is cool, I’m thinking. Good looking, comes with her own country, dies young\*. Didn’t she die young? Or at least youngish, or something. ---

Of the two prospects I didn’t pick, one was obviously going to be Agatha Christie, and I strongly suspected the other one (“Senorita Peligrosa” or something like that) of being Frida Kahlo. Now Og knows I’m not fussy about female body size & shape, but when I selected “elfin” I didn’t think it was code for “amputee”! ---
