Great! Then I want to shove both Letterman AND O’Brien off the cliff. Surely there’s room for both at the bottom, yes?

Nope. One person per fate. I meant that if **Anahita** wanted to assign answers to two sets of lists, she was more than welcome.

_HONESTLY_. Pushing Letterman off the cliff. I can’t imagine. I think a good rule is that if you push Letterman off the cliff, you lose the game. Who likes that rule?

Anything to get her out of the Senate…

Rosie O’Donnell: Cliff  
Ellen Degeneres: Shag (I’ve always felt there was nothing wrong with her that a good dicking wouldn’t solve. 😃 [sup]-(Plus, it might make her funny again! ) [/sup])  
Margaret Cho: Marry (Same basic idea.)

I like that rule!

Hmmm…  
Romeo: Throw off Cliff  
Benedict: Marry. Of course I’m thinking of Kenneth Branagh here…  
Petruchio: Shag.

Next set:  
Stephen King  
Robert Jordan

I think I’ll answer a few of these…

Shag Aragorn, marry Legolas, and Frodo gets booted by default.

Romeo… CLIFF!! The whiner.  
Benedict… shag.  
Petruchio… marry. He’s a hoot!

Letterman… marry. O’Brien… shag. Leno, off he goes.

I’m with Matt on the Trek Captains… Kirk goes off the cliff, repeatedly if possible. Archer gets shagged, Picard married.

Janeway also goes off the cliff, Kira is shagging material, and Crusher is MINE, MINE, MINE. Especially now that her brat isn’t around.

Since we appear to be able to suggest fictional characters…  
Michael Myers (Halloween)  
Freddie Kreuger (Nightmare on Elm Street)  
Jason Vorhees (Friday the 13th)

I don’t think kicking any of these people off of a cliff would actually accomplish anything, but here goes…:

Marry Myers, shag Freddy, and push Jason.

How about:
