new game!

[emmelinemay]

So we've done the 'what would be your crap xmen power' - here's a new one someone at work has some up with -

"who would be in your crime solving/world saving team?"

I haven't thought enough about it yet to have a whole team, but here is my colleague's:

Angus MacGyver for his skills with old bean tins
The Face for his long-con abilities
Miss Marple for the same reason as you picked Columbo₁ and to give the element of surprise
Jean Luc Picard for leadership
Xena, warrior princess , for a bit of muscle
Adam Ant for cool outfits
Wolverine , for growling

_{1 - the only person I've chosen so far - and because he always knows who did it. And probably because in Columbo In The Future has his false eye fitted with LAZERS or something.}

SO.

"who would be in your crime solving/world saving team?"

No fewer than 4, (because a trio/duo isn't a team) not more than 8, (because more than 8 is just daft) and no two from the same show/comic/book etc...

Serverus Snape - for the sarcasm, the Alan Rickman Voice and the dark magic
Tank Girl - for the clothes, charisma and Kamikaze, Can-do attitude
Jonathan Creek - for the floppy hair and the ability to think laterally
Spike - for the guh... also for the fighting skillz and the first-hand demon knowledge (almost went for Giles because of the books, but who wants to see him naked eh!?)
Captain Jack Sparrow - for the madcap schemes and witty one liners

I reckon that'll about do it...

hey - that's pretty good!!

[shackers.livejournal.com]

Monk - cos he's so weird
The ginger one from CSI miami cos he solves things without ever doing anything
The girl in NCIS who looks like you when you were gothy, cos she's very funny and very clever
The chief Inspector of Walsall, whose name is Everard Cock, cos of his name
Morse, obviously, cos of the music - (Morse Code)
And Doctor Who.

Now - the first crime they must solve is why I got filtered from your last post again!

[emmelinemay.livejournal.com]

i haven't filtered you from *any* posts - in fact, i added you into that one that you emailed me about!!

Awesome team, by the way.

response from my colleague:

"I did think initially think of The Doctor, but a) he never works in large groups and b) you could consider using a timelord as cheating a bit."

[hannahlucas.livejournal.com]

too hard, but you must never have Miss marple, because then someone will die (and that will be bad), so if you have her you must also include the one from Star Trek original series that featured each week in a different colour jumper from anyone else, cause then he can die, like he always did and the core team will stay safe.

[emmelinemay.livejournal.com]

An excellent point.

I think that would also work with Jessica Fletcher.

Jack Bauer - He can work for 24 hours without a break for food, sleep or the toilet and it unbreakable by torture and has no discerbnable sense of humour...

Sammo Law - The greatest kung fu fighting policeman out there. The Portly Kicker is also deceptive and knows how to use a cactus to defeat his enemies.

Anthony J Petrocelli - Every team needs a lawyer for the sticky situations and having one who is a dab hand at bricklaying adds to the value of the team

Captain Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce - Medic, cynic, coctail designer and professional scammer and ladies man. Has the added bonus of tecnhically being Bauers father so they have a strong bond... Every team needs a field experienced doctor of love.

An english nanny - If there is one thing in life that One of our Dinosaurs is Missing has taught us is that no one messes with a traditional english nanny, or at least no one who wants to live to tell the tail. Bearing in mind most supervillans are a bit on the upper class side they will allways defer to Nanny through years of early training.

this is total genius.

Rogue Trooper, Enough firepower to sort any situation, and blue so he won't show the cold
John Constantine, "ll tell you the ultimate secret of magic. Any c*nt could do it."
George Smiley, "the cunning of Satan and the conscience of a virgin"
Mycroft Holmes, there is no point in settling for second best
Emma Peel, I AM NOT GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS ONE
Buggs Bunny, because no one has ever defeated him

[emmelinemay.livejournal.com]

A diverse and interesting team. Emma Peel and Bugs would SO end up getting it on.

Because we are from different genders and different generations I'm going to forgive you that last statement.

Take a moment, if you will, and consider the logistics of, oh I don't know Captain Jack Sparrow and the Horny Cadbury Caramel Bunny in a count-the-legs-and-divide-by-two moment in the shade of some Disney meadow tree. Hold that thought for just long enough to realise how Bad and Wrong it is; I just hope you don't remember it when you watch the film tonight

[emmelinemay.livejournal.com]

*takes a moment*

*can't stop laughing*

I think Cap'n Jack would give the cadbury bunny a right good seeing to up against that tree. He wouldn't take it easy at all.

[elle-is-for.livejournal.com]

jesus Emmie! you are *so* bad'n'wrong. :-)

brain bleach please....

[emmelinemay.livejournal.com]

maybe this picture will distract you?

[shackers.livejournal.com]

uuurrgh

[elle-is-for.livejournal.com]

where did you find that!?

[emmelinemay.livejournal.com]

google is your friend.

[elle-is-for.livejournal.com]

like Targ is your friend?

[yaruar.livejournal.com]

the cadburys bunny is a lesbian though.....

[the-vin.livejournal.com]

Starbuck(circa 2000s)- mad,bad and the best shot in the fleet

Mr. T.- coz I'm not a crazy fool

Robocop- the original can of whupass

Paul Atredies- can see the future, rule the galaxy, and get hold of decent drugs

Ash- for hot and cold running wisecracks, chainsaws and shotguns.. and in case of zombies

Leelo- *ahem*

Sidney Bristow- for being multilingual and having great wigs

[flywingedmonkey.livejournal.com]

The Batman. Because he's the motherfucking Batman, bitch. World's Greatest Detective, supreme martial artist, plus he can punch out a wolf...



Hellboy. Because you need a mystic/supernatural type. And if you're going to have one of those you may as well make in a gun-toting, cigar-chewing demon with a massive stone fist that can destroy the Earth.

She-Ra. Because you need a powerhouse. And if you're going to have one of those you may as well make her a cute blonde with a rainbow horse and a mystical sword.

Hiro Nakamura off-of Heroes. Because he can manipulate time and space thus not only warning you of future dangers BUT ALSO making him the ultimate wingman. ("Dude! I have come from 2 hours in future! Do not put moves on that lady! Lady is a dude!"). Plus he's cheery and massively optimistic- he and She-Ra would totally get on.

Emma Frost, the White Queen. Because she's a high-level telepath and scorching hot. Plus a little bit bad. Oh, yeah.

Han Solo. Rogue, pilot, techie. Just don't tell him the odds.

Me. Because this is one hell of a awesome team and I'd be crazy not to be on it. Plus whole everyman perspective thing.

GIR from Invader Zimm. Because you need a comic relief robot and he's the fuckin' nuts. "I neeeeeeeed TACOS!!!!"
