Bad message cookie?

Just a question - when did Fortune Cookies go from giving fortunes to sharing crappy bon mots? At lunch today my "message" (because it doesn't deserve the label "fortune") was something like "success makes you feel good". Huh? There's no anticipation anymore when I'm about to crack open the cookie. Well, some of them do have that cool "Speak Chinese" thing on them (and I'm assuming they mean Mandarin, but how the hell would I know?), so you can spend a couple of minutes amusing your lunchmate and annoying the restaurant staff by butchering their native language.

01. Post a list of 10 TV shows you watch (past or present).
02. Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each show.
03. When guessed, write a sentence about why you like that character.
04. Post in your own livejournal.

1. Firefly - Zoe Warren. She kicks ass and she's married to Wash. It's win/win.
2. Arrested Development - George Michael. Whenever I hear his name I think of a hot ass in guy-style Daisy Dukes [ala the "Wake Me Up (Go-Go)" video]. He's cute, awkward, and the kid's arguably the best actor on the show. The pining after Maeby bit was adorable.
3. The Venture Bros - Dr. Girlfriend. She reeled me in from the moment I heard her gravelly masculine voice. The see-thru night gown and the seduction of Dr. Venture helped too.
4. Queer as Folk (US) - *grin* Yeah, this was a trick question that you got totally correct. Michael I like because we're sort of similar, but I don't really have a "fave".
5. The Office (UK) - Tim. Because unrequited love is a theme among my favorite characters. He was a great foil to Gareth.
6. Newsradio
7. Roseanne - Darlene. During my hideous dull and non-rebellious rebellious teen years I found myself wishing I could be like her. She was hilarious.
8. Herman's Head
9. Oz - Beecher. Once he grew a pair the love just kept coming. You have to admire a guy who gets all his limbs broken and then gets all revengeful with nails like he's Lady Deathstrike all up on Neo-Nazi ass. As far as I'm concerned he's currently living with Keller in some warm locale. No I haven't watched Season 6 - why do you ask?
10. Frasier - Dr. Niles Crane. Sweet, sensitive, and hopelessly entangled in unrequited love for about 8 seasons. Aww.

You got 1 and 4 correct.

Uhm, "I vaguely remember this show" is not an answer. *grin*

I only used those fortunes for the lucky numbers, which I played in the lottery. I think I won $2 once.

As for your thingy:
4. Michael, although you really don't have a favorite :P
7. Darlene

Hee, that's so cool! The Darlene thing was a TOTAL guess. :P

Okay, I gotta ask - the hell is that in your icon?

The beautiful Antonio Sabato Jr. Actor/model - he's famous for being a Calvin Klein undie model...I've got more pics of him if you are interested? He's a God.

2. Arrested Development--Job. Just because I love Job. Haha.

3. Venture Bros. --Would it be wrong of me to guess Dr. Girlfriend?

10. Frasier--Niles? I don't actually watch the show, but he seems like someone you'd like.

[identity profile] fredericks.livejournal.com 2005-06-16 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yay!! 3 and 10 correct. Am I that obvious?

[identity profile] marinwood.livejournal.com 2005-06-16 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, here's my guesses:

AD - George Michael

The Office - Tim

Newsradio - Mr. James


[identity profile] marinwood.livejournal.com 2005-06-16 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, I forgot one:

Oz - Beecher

[identity profile] fredericks.livejournal.com 2005-06-16 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
You're good. All your guesses were right on the money.

Momma was right; I AM too predictable. *grin*

[identity profile] fredericks.livejournal.com 2005-06-16 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, 'cept for the Newsradio one...

[identity profile] candicelbj.livejournal.com 2005-06-17 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
never had a chance, which is good because I haven't watched any of those :(
