Dunno, but maybe **Hal Briston** or **sdrawkcab** could tell you…

I’m a typical Peruvian dish.

Probably a bauble from a neckless that fell down the bathroom sink and is sitting in the drain trap with all the hair, and soap and toothpaste spit.

That assumes of course that you’re now an actual werewolf and not just some ungodly combination of an ordinary human and wolf, in which case everyday bullets would work just fine… 😃

Being a knight of darkness,  
centurion of evil and devil’s prince doesn’t sound so bad, depending on the pay scale and the perks.

I’m an imaginary viking conjured up form someone’s high school inside joke.

I wear a silly horned hat, and I really, really, really hate the French.

I wish you all well. Me, I’m not in any hurry, so by all means go next.

I’d probably stay pretty much the same, maybe better able to say considerate things at the right time.

I’m feeling pretty good about myself right now. Wow! where did all these supermodels come from all of a sudden? Why, yes, I will have another glass of Dom. Now, which football team should I buy, hmmm?

I’m either a traitor’s sword from the Song of Roland and maybe get to sit with a big axe and a couple of other swords in a rack somewhere.

Or else I’m an [electric guitar](http://www.vandergraafgenerator.co.uk/ph_guitars.htm), possibly a 1959 black Hagstrom ED46 DeLuxe, or a Vox Teardrop with built in fuzz and fx, covered in rabbit fur (!) or, more likely a [black Guild](http://www.vandergraafgenerator.co.uk/over2.jpg).  
Rumours I was an ice blue Stratocaster were false.

I’m very trustworthy and get to go on tour with my favourite musician, both solo gigs and with the group! Excellent! But I must run, I’m on stage in Tokyo _right now_!

Things are pretty much normal for me.

Except it’s almost time for my nap, and I have to fight **kaylasdad** s 1 through 98 for my share of the covers.
