[QUOTE=dotchan] So, **Taber** , do you feel a special affinity for the vine? (Host notes: His last post about humors and being smited seems to suggest that he’s Dionysus, god of wine…but obviously I need to poke at him more.) [/QUOTE] I feel affinity towards all types of vines…grape vines…Ivy vines… all sorts of vines ---

[QUOTE=twickster] **Mal** – who were your heroes when you were growing up? [/QUOTE] Cicero. By the time I was nine I’d read everything he’d ever written (in translation naturally – I wasn’t really fluent in Latin until a couple of years later). By an interesting coincidence, I was chatting about him only the other day to Prince Harry. It turns out he’s quite a fan, too. ---

[QUOTE=bbs2k] **fachverwirrt** , I’m thinking of a phrase, but I’m having trouble finishing it, it begins “The rain in Spain…” Do you know this one? [/QUOTE] What an interesting question! Have you been to Spain? ---

[QUOTE=featherlou] (What’s up with **twickster** starting late? That doesn’t seem right.) [/QUOTE] Yeah – I know I’m not the only one disoriented when I spend a day or two out IRL once in a while… 😛 I think **Kat** has to put a Doper name in each post. Does either of my fellow hosts see a reason why I shouldn’t make than an official guess? ETA: And **frank** ly it would be gratifying to guess her so quickly, given how hard she’s kicking everyone’s ass in Fantasy Teevee. 😃 ---

Hosts – might **facherwirrt** have something to do with Shakespeare? I’m not knowlegable enough to go beyond that – so it might be someone specific like Falstaff? or something … Any ideas? ---

**Priceguy** – You’ve been pretty quiet. Let’s chat. What’s your favorite movie? And who’s your favorite Batman villain? ETA: Feel free to answer those questions in separate posts … 😃 ---

(Host notes: I think **Priceguy** might have to answer a question with another question. **Kat’s** quirk I’m not so sure about…where’s the Doper name in her response to **bbs2k** ’s question (Post #115)? **Malacandra** seems to be British, at least, but that’s about as far as I’ve gotten on him.) **facherwirrt** , what do you do for a living? ---

[QUOTE=twickster] Hm, I like that question – **Malacandra** , who’s \*your \* favorite Batman villain? [/QUOTE] No opinion. I’ve never actually read a Batman comic in my life, nor seen him on the TV or in films. ---

[QUOTE=dotchan] **Kat’s** quirk I’m not so sure about…where’s the Doper name in her response to **bbs2k** ’s question (Post #115)? [/QUOTE] **Giraffe**. **Kat** : I’m digging this question – who’s \*your \* favorite Batman villain? **Malacandra** I’m having a hard time zeroing in on – British, snob, name-dropper. I don’t quite get the Easter Island ref (not sure of the post count, it was pretty early on). ---

**bbs2k** has been dropping a few slantendicular guesses here and there, so I’m going to use Idle’s rule that any Guess must be made in **bold**. And I suppose I didn’t fully answer the prior question, but any Guest who is outed is still welcome to post here, but must continue to use their quirk while doing so. And offers of booze to the Mod get extra points, naturally. ---

[QUOTE=twickster] **Kat** : I’m digging this question – who’s \*your \* favorite Batman villain? [/QUOTE] Batman? Batman is superbly cool. I’m of mind that he owns most superheros. Greatest. Villains. Ever. Especially that Mr. Freeze or al Ghul.
