Whoo-HOO! I’m someone’s almost-favorite Doper! Not bad for a newbie. 🆒

Thank you. I’ve been waiting for someone to post a Mojo Jojo speech.

BTW, ssskuggii, I went to IMDb, and the name of the girl on “The Maxx” was Julie Winters. At least I remembered her first name. 🙂

Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!! I’m so happy now that I know. Julie Winters, that is a fitting name though. Hmmmmm, I do need to develop an alter ego b/c I may meet someone who wants to rip my head off and only knows me as Tasha… this may come in handy. 😃

Uh, that should say “ssskuggiii.” Which one of you took that last “i”? I swear it was right there when I hit submit. Come on people, ’fess up! 😃

Well, I’m a huge Scooby-Doo fan, have been since I was a little guy. So I’d have to say either Scooby Doo or Shaggy. I act like Scooby, but I look somewhat like shaggy; just not as skinny and gangly. I have a similar walk, though. 🙂

Though I guess they’re similar, in many ways.

I don’t know if this counts, though they’re still animation, but I would also like to be either Grommit from _Wallace & Grommit_, or Jack Skellington from _The Nightmare Before Christmas_. I know, they both would be considered claymation, but it’s still animation. 🙂

I’d have to say I’d want to be Homer Simpson. I would love to be able to be that stupid, self-centered, alcoholic and unhealthy, and yet still be alive and have the unconditional love a woman like Marge. But mostly I’d just love to be able to be that stupid.

If not Homer, I’d say I’d want to be Spider Jerusalem from “Transmetropolitan”.

It’s a question many have pondered, and few have answered.

Ooh! Then you could be my daddy. If I decided to become Lisa. 🙂
