For those of you just joining us, the idea is to guess which character from literature is indicated by the clues. The winner gets to choose the next character and write the next set of clues.

Here's the first one for this thread, with my apologies if it's one we've already done.

Clue 1. I'm a slippery customer
Clue 2. My wife is beautiful, jealous, and deadly
Clue 3. I'm a kind of interplanetary agent (of sorts)
Clue 4. I irritate the hell out of my boss
Clue 5. Angelina and I are both in the Special Corps

I cheated and googled so I'm not going to offer an answer, but it sounds like an interesting series.

I have to admit that I'm stumped as well.

Brad Pitt?

#302 LOL - no I see him more as maybe a younger Bill Murray, or Jack Nicholson

Clue 1. I'm a slippery customer
Clue 2. My wife is beautiful, jealous, and deadly
Clue 3. I'm a kind of interplanetary agent (of sorts)
Clue 4. I irritate the hell out of my boss
Clue 5. Angelina and I are both in the Special Corps
Clue 6. I was a former bank robber, and still like to keep my hand in
Clue 7. Angelina and I become parents to twin boys, James and Bolivar

Wow, I never thought this would cause any difficulty.

You have my permission to Google, or this will hang around for ever!

Googling made it easy, but I would feel like a cheater to guess based on that. Sounds like a fun series; has no-one else on here read it??

Go for it, ejj . . . I think it's safe to say that none of us are going to get it otherwise.

James Bolivar diGriz Stainless Steel Rat ?

Oh, thank goodness, Twaull, you are a champ! Your turn to post a clue.

Lets see... This one shouldn't be to hard

Clue 1: I am born into a community with out violence or sadness.

Jonas from The Giver?

ding!ding!ding! Twaull - well done ...

oh, they told you already

LOL!

Well. I did not expect you to get it on the first clue. Well done foggidawn.

Okay . . . here's hoping that someone else has read this. . . .

1. I am the king of an underground country.

No guesses? How about another clue:

2. I took my bride against her will, as is the custom of my people.

umm its not Hades, right?

Nope, not Hades.

Sounds familiar but I cant place it.

1. I am the king of an underground country.
2. I took my bride against her will, as is the custom of my people.
3. I am not human, but my bride is . . . more or less.

I haven't read the books but I think I've heard of them, is it something about a goblin king and a princess? (I'm not anywhere near claiming this, but maybe my ramblings will help someone else who knows the character...)

Are you talking about The Princess and the Goblin? I've not read it either but it was a favorite of Holly's growing up.

Well, it does involve goblins, though it's not the one you've mentioned.

Marek from The Hollow Kingdom???

Okay, I haven't read the books, but this isn't quite cheating because (assuming I have the right ones...) they were just recently recommended to me...

Is it Marek from The Hollow Kingdom?

HAHA! How's that for a tie?

Go ahead, twaull - I don't really have time to post one right now anyway!

#324 (and 325) -- Dingdingding! I love Marek's sense of humor, and just started a reread of The Hollow Kingdom.

lets try to make this a bit harder than my last one.

This sounds like a Diana Wynne Jones book, but I can't remember which one.

331-- elbakerone good job. Your turn.

Ted Dekker is one of my favorite authors.

I know I've read at least one or two books where there's a character raised by a sister, but I can't seem to put my finger on it tonight.

Clue 1: I was raised by my sister.
Clue 2: She raised me "by hand", though I have no idea what that means.

Is it Pip from Great Expectations?

Darn! I'm sure that's it!

I just started reading the book today so it's very fresh in my mind!

Silly - obviously it's "Pirates cloned my brother-in-law" !

#367: LOL! :)

> = "better than." You know, it comes from math where it means "more than."

Do you guys want another clue?

Edward Ferrars?

No.

#1 I wanted to be a priest.
#2 My sister is jealous of a very important relationship of mine.
#3 Pirates >>>>>> my brother-in-law.
#4 Those pesky sea serpents!
#5 I once did a three-way mind meld with a pirate and a sailing ship so I could keep him alive while I amputated his leg.

Ok, if you guys don't get it now, you officially give up.

Okay, I give up -- that scene in clue #5 would definitely have left an impression, so I'm thinking this is something I haven't read.

Clue #6 Where is WillSteed when you need him?

Is this from that Robin Hobb series about ships that I haven't read yet?

#379 Ding Ding Ding. Although you didn't give the character's name. (Wintrow Vestrit, for those who are keeping score.) btw, everyone should read Robin Hobb, she's awesome.

ej, go ahead.

I've read the Farseer series but not the others--guess I have to go back to BookMooch . . . great, they've got the third book in the series . . .

Clue #2: The person who took my identity did not mean to.

Clue #3: My husband and his friend deliberately caused the mix-up.

Is it by Wilkie Collins?

Yes!

All right, I cheated a little, because I remembered the book, but not the name. Is it Laura Fairlie?

DingDingDing! Your turn cmbohn!

wOot!

Clue 1: I am a well known knight.

Alanna?

This might be too obvious, but Lancelot?

Sir Gawain?

Gawain it is! Your turn, foggidawn!

ha #410 that was what I would have said. :P

1. I am a king, but I am not male.

Are you an alien?

Oh! I know this! I just can't think of it...but it's right there. I know it is. Grrr...

*beats head against wall*

Not an alien.

Nope.

Kazul from the Enchanted Forest Chronicles?

Severus Snape? Although he didn't exactly risk his life...

#424 -- That was, of course, my first thought. :-) Actually, I can think of several characters that almost, but not quite, fit the bill: Jean Valjean? Aslan? Hmmm . . . I will think more on it. Maybe it's time for another clue?

OMG Doctor Who!!! he does it all the time

Rae? from a book I can't remember the title of

You're talking about kitty in the Bartimeaus trilogy

Oh! Duh! I'll bet that's right! Obviously, it's time for me to reread that trilogy, since I didn't even think of her.

439: Kitty it is.

Omg duh!!!! Grr, how did I not get that?!?!

Lol, I havn't read half of the books sthat get mentioned in this, I don't get to read very often. I know what character I'm going to do if I ever do answer a person correctly though...

Can't wait PPC - hope you win soon :-)

Hey can you tell me, so that I can use it, PPC? Gah! Give me a minute to think of one....

Ok, Ok, I have one:

Clue One: I am in a cool band.... well, my only friend and I "jam" together....

i know this one and I can't think of it....

Girls hate me on sight.... and boys too. In fact, I have to pretend to be semi Columbine crazy just to stop the bullies. So I don an Army jacket and walk around like I'm going to shoot up the school.

suge? :o)

Ha ha ha JP ha ha ha :P~~~~~

Anyhoo...

... Wait, I have to say this: PEOPLE LOVE ME!!!!

No, they don't. Even you guys run off when you see me posting. JP is right. I suck. *sob*

That being said:

Clue One: I am in a cool band.... well, my only friend and I "jam" together....

Clue Two: Girls hate me on sight.... and boys too. In fact, I have to pretend to be semi Columbine crazy just to stop the bullies. So I don an Army jacket and walk around like I'm going to shoot up the school.

Clue Three: I get called a REALLY horrible nickname at school after taking an aptitude test. A name which I recklessly embrace in a moment of rebellion.

I will not remind suge how long my family and lefty waited for her in Central Park last week just because we wanted to see her.

Is the nickname the title of your book, by any chance?

omg I can't believe you brought that up, JP!! That's a low blow! I feel really guilty about that but I told you I almost died that day, so all things considered....

any hoo....

Clue Three: My school is full of anoying teachers who for some reason are obsessed with Holden Cauldfield.

LOL! True. Your excuse was a good one!

BTW, I think that was your fourth clue. Still no idea and you didn't answer my question. :oP

Oh, you're right, JP. But I think I was pretty coherent, considering.

•Clue One: I am in a cool band.... well, my only friend and I "jam" together....

•Clue Two: Girls hate me on sight.... and boys too. In fact, I have to pretend to be semi Columbine crazy just to stop the bullies. So I don an Army jacket and walk around like I'm going to shoot up the school.

•Clue Three: I get called a REALLY horrible nickname at school after taking an aptitude test. A name which I recklessly embrace in a moment of rebellion.

•Clue Three Four: My school is full of anoying teachers who for some reason are obsessed with Holden Cauldfield.

Clue Five: More than play actual music, my "band" and I come up with hilarious band names complete with logos and cover art. We even have song names.... all we need are the lyrics.... and a drummer.

HA HA HA Does this mean I WIN??!!

I am the master of the UNIVERSE HA HA HA HA! All must bow down to me. I am invincible. I am....

... or is it that my clues SUCK? Oh no...

Don't worry sugey, I'm sure someone here must've read the book, just be patient, I'm sure someone will come up with the answer. *wonders who would listen to a band who didn't have a drummer and didn't have lyrics to their songs.....*

It does sound like an interesting story. I never read anything like that plot.

Pic #455--> They actually put a little something together for their school talent show. They borrow a drummer from another competing band and become something of an sensation.

Here's clue six:
My father was a cop, who was killed in an "accident" six years ago. I find a box with his old school books. The books are full of coded messages. If I can decode the messages, maybe I can find out the truth about his death.

Oh god that sounds familiar!!!!

Ok, I'm gonna guess.

Is it Will from The Subtle Knife?

Or........*bangs head on desk* that last clue sounds so familiar!!!!! But I don't think my guess would fit any of the other ones.....

458--> No, not Will. This book is not sci-fi nor fantasy.

Clue One: I am in a cool band.... well, my only friend and I "jam" together....

•Clue Two: Girls hate me on sight.... and boys too. In fact, I have to pretend to be semi Columbine crazy just to stop the bullies. So I don an Army jacket and walk around like I'm going to shoot up the school.

Clue Seven: The book title claims that I am "royalty", but my social status is not one that you would envy. My mother is an aged hippie who preffers to dissapear in a Vicodin haze. I think that baby boomers, or gen xers are the most anoying generation of people that ever lived. Unfortunately, my step father is one.

Suge I give up! But I want to read this book now! Can you pm me and tell me what it is?????

Is it written by a man or a woman?

lol, I wanna know what it is too!

It was written by a man. And I hear that they are making a movie out of the book.

umm I think I'm out of clues. I don't want to post anything that might be a spoiler.

Dude! It's King Dork! by Frank Portman
Characters name is Tom Henderson

Message edited by its author, Aug 19, 2009, 5:43pm.

434-->DING DING DING DING!!! AWESOME, G!

can't hardly remember my AP history book
Can remember a book I haven't read in 9 months and really didn't even like.

I enjoyed King Dork, G. I thought it was really funny. However, I was pretty pissed when Tom started ragging on my band Led Zeppelin. What's wrong with him? Its like that horrible Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of all time list. IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS "SATISFACTION" BY THE ROLLING STONES (a song I love btw) BETTER THAN "STARIWAY TO HEAVEN"? KASHMIR IS #140. most of the songs on the list are some of my favorite songs, but the order in which they are listed makes me want to throw things. Thats why I stay away from lists. grrrr

#467

I agree 100%. EVERYONE knows that "Sympathy For The Devil" is the greatest Stones' track, bar none. We don't need silly lists to tell us that :-)

My vote is for 'Paint it Black.'

Whoa . . . I think I just wandered onto the wrong thread.

*wanders off to look for the "Who Am I?" game thread*

I'm with Tid on this one. Although I have a special fondness for Shattered.

Best Zepplin song? For me it's The Ocean, but pretty much any track by Zep is better than 90% by any other rock bands. (suge now loves me.) Honorable mentions: Immigrant Song, Achillies Last Stand.

Tea for One. Black Country Woman. Friends. Gallows Pole. Since I've Been Loving You. In the Evening. Whole Lotta Love.

Wait--this isn't the Led Zeppelin fan thread?

Actually, my favorite Zep song is whichever one is playing.

OK, which is the best record? Houses of the Holy or Physical Grafitti? Or are all you kids too young to have listened to these as entire records? Ah, vinyl, how I miss you....

So it's my turn to name a character?
and it's been a while since I read it. I barely remember it

It can be a character from any book.

or from any Led Zepplin album.

Thank you...alright

Clue One: I have a very distiguishing birth mark

Clue Two: Both me and my two older brothers have names that are odd. Mine can almost pass as normal but there's definetly can't

469--> I love "Paint It Black" but I have to third Tid and LG's vote for "Sympathy for the Devil".

471--> Oh, god, LG I love "The Ocean". I listen to it just about every morning. Suge loved you before, but now I love and adore you more. Hey! One of my favorite songs is "Achilles Last Stand" John Bonham was an amazing percussionist and the drums on that track are incredible.

472--> The guitars on "Since I've been loving" you are absolutely just.... brilliant. In my opinion Jimmy Page is the greatest guitarist of all time. He's like a wizard with a pick. I love Jimmy Hendrix and Chuck Berry but Jimmy P brings me to tears.

473--> Too true, Lg any Led Zep song will do to make me happy!

HA on you LG! I actually have the "Houses of the Holy" LP (listen to it just about every day when I get dressed for work) and I owned the "Physical Graffiti" CD until my friend stepped on the disc with "Kashimir" on it by accident. Its hard to pick between those two records, LG. Both records are sensational. I guess I would go with "Physical" because it has "Ten Years Gone".

My favorite Led Z song? I'd have to say "Kashmir" because it was the very first Led Zeppelin song I ever heard and I was completely blown away. I also LOVE "Going to California" and GOD "When the Levee Breaks" and "D'yer M'aker" and.... I could go on for ever. Again, any Led Z song that's playing.

476-->He he he Mr. excellent idea! Clue #1 I shine a light

D'yer M'aker & Kashmir are also in my top 10, suge. Don't we both have excellent taste?

No guess on the clues so far for me.

Yes, we are fabulous, LG. (Can you listen to D'yer M'aker with out thinking of Dread Z?)

There was a prickle in my brain when I read the hint, but I need more clues

D'yer M'aker was the first song I heard, or maybe really listened to. A friend came down to our dorm room and listened to my roommate's LP . . . and that was that. Love passed from my auditory canal to my heart . . . yes, Suge, Jimmy Page is a genius. Bonham was incredible (*small sob*). Can't pick a favorite album.

Sorry, back to the game . . .

Wow, Ejj it must have been wonderful. Can you remember the year? Obviously after '73. I love to hear people's stories

What game?

New Clue!

Clue One: I have a very distiguishing birth mark

Clue Two: Both me and my two older brothers have names that are odd. Mine can almost pass as normal but there's definetly can't

Clue Three: I am an artist, though it takes me a long time to realize it. I used to think I just dabbled, but as time passes I realize that art is my passion

>482 Yep, it was spring of 1974, my first year of college.

Side One (vinyl records had "sides" kids - you had to turn them over!) of Led Zepp II is one of my favourite album sides of all time.

This whole Led Zep thing is really quite amusing

It sounds like it should be familiar, but I am stumped!

#488 - it's ok, there is a CD of it. But with only one playable side, so therefore the first 4 tracks would comprise the original Side One.

Oh, you're talking about Who Am I? (LOL)

Is it Picasso?

489: Yes, talking about what should be happening in this thread. Fancy that! *laughs*

490: No it is no Picasso. Interesing guess though

Is it Michelangelo?

Really, I have no idea. I'm just trying to make up for contributing to the Led Zeppelin detour, lovely though it was. *going to sort through my CDs now, see if I have all of the Led Zep albums*

edited to add: in that format, I mean. Have 'em on vinyl up through Coda.

Je ne regret rien!

I still have no guess for the clue.

Is is Asher Lev?

>493 Thanks, Tid, but I don't have an iPod. About the only time I download music is when I'm making CDs for my crazy friend. I'm happy with CDs as my level of technology at the moment, though the day may come . . . my main venue for listening to music is in the car, though, and CDs work for that. (And, er, I'm a Dudette!)

Apparently suge isn't the only one who gives crappy clues

Clue One: I have a very distiguishing birth mark

Clue Two: Both me and my two older brothers have names that are odd. Mine can almost pass as normal but there's definetly can't

Clue Three: I am an artist, though it takes me a long time to realize it. I used to think I just dabbled, but as time passes I realize that art is my passion

Clue Four: On my way home from laser surgery, I get into an accident, and nearly kill a boy in a parking lot, who I then become very good friends with

This sounds really interesting, but I'm pretty sure I haven't read it.

>497

I don't think you or Suge give crappy clues, I just think that there are certain books that the people who are on this thread are less familiar with. I'm sure your clues would be enough for me to identify the character if I had read the book, but I can tell from them that I haven't.

ejj she's just trying to provoke me....

MORE CLUES! MORE CLUES!

Hmmm...I'm seeing a pattern here. gpwts comes back, suge comes on more and goes back to regular caps lock posts. I wonder if g is nearsighted and suge is the only one who knows?

No guess on the who am I. I think I would remember a book that mentioned laser surgery...

Ummmm... what? How could you possible it? We thought we were being subtle. Goes to show.... Ok, g. SHE'S ON TO US!!! They know!!

I don't know about that, but i'm pretty sure that four rights make 360 degrees.

Three rights make a left.

Five rights and you get a Led Zeppelin record.

btw jp: two wrongs don't make a right, but it makes it even.

">493 Thanks, Tid, but I don't have an iPod. About the only time I download music is when I'm making CDs for my crazy friend. I'm happy with CDs as my level of technology at the moment, though the day may come . . . my main venue for listening to music is in the car, though, and CDs work for that. (And, er, I'm a Dudette!)"

Welcome to Club Dudette ejj !

BTW, you don't need an iPod to use iTunes - I don't and I do (if you follow my logic). You can download music to your computer and play it there, and you can rip all your CDs, and then play them on your computer, and burn 'mix tape' CDs of your favourite home-grown compilations, you can even buy TV shows and movies! Ok ok, I sound like an advert for iTunes, but hey - it's a free download.

504-506: LOL! Thank you, I love you people!

Clue Four: On my way home from laser surgery, I get into an accident, and nearly kill a boy in a parking lot, who I then become very good friends with

Clue Five: My father is described, to quote the boy, "well even genius's can be class A a**holes"

Clue Six: My oldest brother lives in China, and in the second part of the book me and my mother go to China to visit him *over my father's stong objections*

I think I've read this book a yeat or two ago, it sounds familiar.

Actually, Tid. I play records so often that when I'm putting in a CD, I catch myself pausing trying to figure out which side the song I want to hear is on. LOL
