Mecha Mummy

I have now. Dammit dammit dammit, Fat Tony was my next pick. Good one, Cowboy.

Oh man, Rex Banner. Great, great pick, there, that episode was amazing.

Thank god, that kills that nagging desire at the back of my mind that I had of drafting him as my fifth director even though I lacked the British cast that one would sort of need to make the most of him.

Oh hey I actually knew who I was drafting well in advance this time. Joseph Cotten Lew Ayres

And I would say Jim is iffy, as I could easily see him being incredibly irritating in real life just as easily as I can see him being likable.

I'd blame pretty much 90% of his career decisions post-Oscar win. The only movie I can clearly remember him being in during the present decade that didn't make me cringe and go "why, Cuba, why" was American Gangster and he only had a couple of scenes there.

Man, I'm glad I didn't wait on him, then. I guess I just sort of assumed that most people would be gunning for major recurring characters in the first round.

So I imagine I'm going to get some "wait, really?" reactions for this one. But as I've thought about it all day, there's really only one character where if I didn't get him in this draft I would be truly be upset, as it were, and while I'm sure my colleagues in this draft will be spending their first picks on characters who weren't one-shots... eh, whatever, I gotta be me. So with my first round draft pick, I'm going with my favorite one-shot character in the history of The Simpsons... Hank Scorpio

He actually doesn't come to mind to me; or, I mean, I thought of him and I figured he'd be one of the first ones gone, but I didn't really feel the urge to draft him myself. I kind of get the feeling my list is going to be fairly odd in contrast with everyone else's.

Er, one thing; it was two separate nominations for songs by The Sonics, one being "The Witch" and one being "Psycho."

Man, now I'm wondering who the original selection was.

I would definitely get in on this. ... except, uh. Has anyone volunteered to run it yet?

1. Santino Marella & Beth Phoenix 2. Mike Quackenbush 3. Evan Bourne 4. The Osirian Portal 5. THE Brian Kendrick

Since I unwittingly only seconded "The Witch" (which is awesome since I didn't think anyone else would nominate it), I'll nominate "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding instead.

"The Witch" by The Sonics

"I Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't TNA actually self-sufficient now? I thought I remember hearing that they turned the corner financially.

One of my favorite character actors who's currently on a bit of a hot streak in terms of awesome roles: J.K. Simmons And because Wonderfalls was a fantastic show and she deserves more love than she gets: Caroline Dhavernas

Vanilla Ice settled out of court and songwriting credits went to Queen and David Bowie. Agreed. Basic Thuganomics was a fantastic theme

Heh, I was considering Ryo Ishibashi before I went with Beat Takeshi instead. Nice to see some Audition love going on even still.

Who fails at multitasking and planning ahead? I do indeed. Jason Schwartzman Takeshi Kitano

Shit, I was thinking of taking him next round. Really good pick.

Yeah, that was a huge waste. I loved SNL reruns on Comedy Central, they always played three or four a day and there was a good range of episodes shown from the mid-80's to the present, with the occasional Ebersol-era episode thrown in late at night. I hated the fact that they went to E! when it happened and I still hate it now because just as I feared, they have the entire run of the series and they don't show shit from it that wasn't done in the last couple of years.

Hey, remember when I drafted Kevin Smith? I, uh. I should do something to supplement that. Jason Lee (I could have sworn he was already drafted, but he wasn't on the main list anywhere, so...) And since he's never worked with her beyond that really brief role in Dogma (even though she really should have played the female lead there) and I'd like to see it happen... Janeane Garofalo
