I was gonna post about how bored I am at work, but SNOW! SNOWSNOWSNOWSNOWSNOW!!!! It's less cold than yesterday and SNOWING uptown! Woooo!

Also, I realize chuckro is still going with his game, but would people like to play another round of Botticelli? I said I wouldn't on the LJ, but I'm super bored.

Rules are here.

I am a fictional character. Say hello to N.

I am a cartoon.
I am male.
I am not human.
I am not evil.
I am an adult (to the best of my knowledge).
I am on a TV series that does have new episodes being made.
I may have been in a comic book, but that's not where you would know me from.

moonlightalice wins the prize: I was Nibbler from Futurama.

Are you an underage gumshoe?
Can you teleport?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

No, I am not Nancy Drew.
No, I am not Nightcrawler.

[hslayer.livejournal.com]

Are you the dweeb next door?
Do you have a crush on your father's live-in British health aide?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

You have me on the first one, but no, I'm not Niles Crane either.

[hslayer.livejournal.com]

Ned Flanders would like to know if you're a cartoon.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I am! Good one. I would have thought of Ned as more of a goody-goody than a dweeb, but I can't deny that the lable fits.

I am, indeed, a cartoon.

[hslayer.livejournal.com]

Are you a barfly?
Are you a mad scientist who hates rodents (with good reason)?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Got me on both. Hell if I know.

[hslayer.livejournal.com]

How is this game not over yet? Norm Petersen (Cheers) and Norton Nimnul (Rescue Rangers).

Are you on a current (ie, new episodes being made) television series?
Have you been in a comic book?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Technically yes to that first one.
And, uh, maybe? to the second. Not what you'd know me from.

[hslayer.livejournal.com]

Back to indirect, eh? I'm not actually good at coming up with these...

Did you invent the OptiGrab?
Are you a robotic catgirl?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

See, I liked the rules where you had to indirect things I would actually have a vague idea of. Alas, I did not stipulate, so go ahead, two questions for you.

[hslayer.livejournal.com]

Aw, it's over. I'm bad at these - I can barely come up with ANY "N" to ask about, let alone guess yours. :P But FYI, they were Navin Johnston (Steve Martin in The Jerk) and Nuku Nuku (of the anime All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku, of course). I did think you might've known those - I wasn't trying to be a dick. :P

[hslayer.livejournal.com]

opps..."Johnson", not "Johnston". Y'know..."The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here! ... It's right here! Navin R. Johnson! My name in print!"

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

That's better than some, then. Alas, my knowledge = not good. It is also morning. Also, I don't really care. I usually make the game harder by picking an obscur-ish character (Nibbler, wtf?) so people can ask away and I still remain ooohmysteeeerious. Thanks for playing, though. You're pretty good at this one.

Are you a broken sword?
Did some sassy pirate's son steal your fiancee?
Is your big brother a Seattle shrink?
Does your rocker roommate share your name?
Are you a cross-dresser who throws buildings around?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

1) Frak it all, I can't remember the name of the sword.
2) Mur? All I can think of is Prince Humperdinck for some reason.
3) No, I'm not Niles Crane
4) Not Nana either
5) Gah, got me again.

[fairest.livejournal.com]

Norrington from Pirates, and Nuriko. Male? Human?

[fairest.livejournal.com]

Whoops. The shards of narsil. They're not a person, so I won't ask a question.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Yes, male. No, not human.

[bigscary.livejournal.com]

I've been guilty of this too, but let's throttle back the 5-at-a-time indirects, give other people a chance? As the game draws down, it's one thing, but right at the beginning?

[fairest.livejournal.com]

I feel I'm coming off as a bad sport, which wasn't my intention.

I'll withdraw and watch for a while.

[bigscary.livejournal.com]

Nonono! Please, play! It's just that it bunches everything up too much!

[bigscary.livejournal.com]

Are you the nemesis of the terror that flaps in the night?
Are you Saber Pink?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I am not Negduck.

I am not...what?

[bigscary.livejournal.com]

Nene.
Are you evil?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

No. I get into trouble and cause some deaths, but not evil.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

SOrry, that's not Negaduck, and I don't know the other.

[fairest.livejournal.com]

Do three siblings tend to greet you with extreme enthusiasm?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

All I can think of are the girls fawning after Gaston in Beauty and the Beast, so that's a question for you.

[edgehopper.livejournal.com]

Have you been frozen by friends?
Has your SO gotten mad at you for trying to kill someone she had dibs on?
Did you know your subordinate's new wife was a robot, but didn't tell him?
Did you only fit into this letter because, as you found out in middle age, your birth certificate had a typo?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Well, that's four for four. Ask away (and answer those?).

[edgehopper.livejournal.com]

1: Neville (Harry Potter)
2: Nale (Order of the Stick)
3: Nigel (Austin Powers)
4: Nichael Bluth (always goes by Michael--Arrested Development). I'll hold off the direct on 4 until someone else who knows the show judges whether that's valid.

1. Are you human?

If so:
2A Are you male?
3A Are you an adult?

If not:
2B Are you an animal?

If so:
3Ba Are you male?
If not:
3Bb Are you primarily known from a cartoon?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

If not for the fact that 3Ba and b or whatever had already been asked and answered, you'd get a severe finger wag about asking taxonomic questions instead of direct yes or no ones. You don't get to ask "if so" or "if not"--that's turning three questions into six! Cheater!

No, I am not human. I am an adult, though it woudl be hard to tell an adolescent from an adult.

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

OK, I always played Botticelli with the proviso that someone else playing (not the guesser) has to know the answer to a question for it to count as a stump. (To prevent blatant abuses like "Are you my fourth grade teacher.") So stop with the obscure webcomics references!

[hslayer.livejournal.com]

It's okay (this time) - I'd've gotten Nale.

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

Are you a japanese cat?
Are you Bill and Ted's first victim?
Are you a former bridal shop clerk from Queens with annoyingly large adenoids?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I am not Neko-chan.
I am not Napoleon Bonaparte.
I am not...what the fuck?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

The Nanny? That last one?

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

Yup. You are right. And you even got the honorific on the cat!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Great! Uh, what are adenoids btw?

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

Adenoids are part of the nose. This is normally the sort of thing I'd double-check before posting, but since the internet was blink-o, I'm glad I remembered correctly.

There was an episode where Mr. Sheffield comments that Nanny Fine must have abnormally large adenoids -- because of the accent. It's really not that funny. Just a sad reminder of when I used to be obsessed with The Nanny.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Just a sad reminder of when I used to be obsessed with The Nanny.

That is sad. I am so sorry.

[deltagrl.livejournal.com]

YAY SNOW! And are you of the anime realm?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Uh? Is that an indirect? It's pretty easy if so--I know lots of N-named anime characters, some of which have already been guessed (Nene, Nana, Nuriko). So, I'm not any of those.

[moonlightalice.livejournal.com]

Are you Nibbler?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Wow! You got it! Whew! I was wondering how many questions I was gonna have to answer with evasives. Congrats!

[jlc.livejournal.com]

Not joining in, because I'm going to be away from computer and unable to contribute further, but holy shit, LJ Botticelli.

I should make a perpetual botticelli app... and run a forever game with rotating participants...

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I know. I swear, it wouldn't have happened on my LJ if not for the fact I was fucking bored as nuts at work yesterday.

Good luck with that app! Let us all know whenever you get it made.
