shag ~ marry ~ kill

since i've been writing such heavy stuff this week (i told you i was ponderous), i thought i'd lighten the mood a bit with a little game i call shag ~ marry ~ kill after a game of the same name by a danish comedienne called linda p.  i don't actually remember the rules of her version, which is why i say that my game shares only the same name. tho' in all honesty, it could be the same thing she did...

the idea is this. i make a list of celebrities/famous people/politicians and say whether i would shag ~ marry ~ or kill them. it's that simple. and then, you could do it too (and come back and leave me a comment, telling me you've done it, so that i can come and read yours and have a laugh). because it's funny. at least when linda p. does it.  and since i used to be quite hilarious in my own right, i'm sure it will be funny here too...or at least fun.

so here goes...

1. johnny depp - shag (as if you didn't see that one coming)
2. harrison ford - shag (it's my old guy thing, what can i say?)
3. bill clinton - shag (again with the old guys)
4. barack obama - marry (obviously, he's a keeper)
5. george w. bush - kill (well, duh, tho' it seems a moot point now, doesn't it?)
6. david letterman - shag, then marry (he's my ultimate old guy)
7. brad pitt - kill
8. that guy who played spock in the most recent star trek movie - shag
9. fox mulder (i realize he's a character) - shag and then shag again
10. dana sculley (yup, another character from the X-files, i'm so 90s, what can i say?) - shag also
11. jennifer aniston - kill
12. nigella lawson - shag
13. nicole kidman - kill
14. tony blair - shag, actually. i like tony.
15. prince charles - obviously marry wasn't the right thing, so kill.
16. jean luc picard (sorry, i've got some strange star trek groove going) - shag
17. bono - shag then marry and shag some more
18. tom cruise - kill
19. haruki murakami - marry
20. britney spears - oddly enough, shag

how about you, do you wanna play shag ~ marry ~ kill? make your own list (you don't have to use mine) and decide whether you'd shag marry or kill. :-)

and the winner is...

we printed out the post from tuesday and clipped out all of the names of everyone (except me) who left comments. my lovely assistant folded them and put them in this little pink bag.

it is so fitting that the name that my lovely assistant then drew out of the little pink bag o'names in my yay-i-made-the-gold-issue-of-discounderworld helleristning/petroglyph giveaway belongs to none other than....

stacey childs, editor of discounderworld!  stacey, please send me your snail mail address and i'll send a little piece of denmark your way (because i ended up using a stone from a danish beach--it just fit better than the ones from norway).

the stone itself is fashioned after this helleristning which we saw at an exhibition at our local little fjord museum last year. i used red ink because that's often what they use on the helleristninger out in nature in order to make them more visible for photographs. sometimes, like below, they also use white. it just depends on the color of the stone.

i wish i had enough smooth rocks suitable for painting on so that i could send one to everyone who entered (but oddly, i do not--must go back to the beach soon). thanks for playing and be watching in the near future for another opportunity. this was fun!
