Appeasing 8elements

[featherynscale]

The content-free parade continues! This is a little game that 8elements posted and I responded to, so she's insisting I post as well. Also, she associates me with Magneto. Words cannot express how completely excellent I find that.

Anyway. Here's the game:

You comment here, and I will:
1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - a song, a color, a photo, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Write you a short poem (probably) (you should be aware that it will probably be rude.)
5. Associate you with a character.
6. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7. Make some sort of commentary about your LJ icons.

UNRELATED BONUS MATERIAL: Did you know that the ADF has a Vice-Archdruid? You know, not quite Arch- material. That's way funnier to me than it probably ought to be.

EDIT: This whole thing might take a while. Poetry, as you probably know if you've EVER EFFING MET ME, is not a thing that I do easily or well. It doesn't quite make blood spring from my forehead, but pretty close. Still, the challenge is compelling. So post, I'll get to you, but not necessarily today.

1. I friended you to keep up with the school stories, the poetry, and the alarming commentary about elderly Scottish men.

2. I most strongly associate you with oatmeal cookies and the Buchanan tartan.

3. I like your dry wit, and your ability to craft a phrase for maximum punch.

4. (Ah, doggerel.)
On heathered hills she sits and sighs,
Ogling now and then
The bulging arms and straining backs
Of caber-tossing men.
Her thoughts fly forth an hour or two
Towards the coming night
When for her favor and her smiles
These lads will surely fight.
How they'll posture, how they'll preen -
They'll build a fine facade
But after all their posing,
She'll go home with her god. :)

5. Professor Snape, without a doubt.

6. (Okay, this is probably not an 'always wanted to know', it's more like a 'want to know right at the moment'.) If you were God-Emperor of the public school system, what's the first thing you would change?

7. Being as I'm not so good with faces, I'm curious -- is the guy in your "funny is the new sexy" icon nodeal57, or, if not, who is that guy? That's been bugging me for years.

4. *splorfle* Himself loves it.

7. Mark Williams.

Also, 6. Revoke No Child Left Behind.
