Not about video games.
Who do you admire or relate to most, and why? They can be a figure from history, someone around today, a politician or leader, or an artist of some kind..anyone at all. They can even be a fictional character like some fucking turd from Terry Pratchett, or an end of level 'boss' from some hideously bent fantasy computer game. I've rather invalidated my subject line now.

I'll show you a hammer

The disappointing James Bond sequel.

Hmm, I'm not sure what the fuck happened there...

Queen Lizzy the first and Tank girl.
Those women had bollocks.
( girlinthehole, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 11:09, Reply)

Tank Girl also had Ice T the motherfuckin' gangster Kangaroo/Human hybrid
Much better than Queen Lizzy.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 11:10, Reply)

Yes but Queen Lizzy had the Duke of Norfolk.
He was a badass.
( girlinthehole, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 11:11, Reply)

Tank Girl also has a rocket bra
And Lori Petty gave me the teenage horn something chronic.

I had such a crush on her.
But it was more a need to be her than fuck her. I was in my twenties ffs.
( girlinthehole, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 11:13, Reply)

I would have disappointed her so hugely
But been very enthusiastic about it.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 11:14, Reply)

Haha!
I think in truth I would have been better as Jet girl. I'm more of a follower than a leader.
( girlinthehole, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 11:15, Reply)

Me too
As awesome and dashing as I am, I don't like to lead.

Leonardo da Vinci is pretty high on my list.
I think those Renaissance polymaths were amazing, and he's the most impressive of all.

'Flights of the Mind' by Charles Nicoll is a superb biography - all taught me a load of stuff I had no idea about. I highly recommend it:

I think we're so used to the idea of brilliant minds/geniuses nowadays that it's easy to forgot how awesome his ideas were for his time.
I would guess that today's equivelant would be Stephen Hawking designing a machine for time travel.
( girlinthehole, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 11:23, Reply)

Stephen Hawking can't even design a proper car, let alone a time machine.

And he has that awful fake American accent too.
I say he's a pretentious cunt. He gets loads of fanny though.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 11:27, Reply)

I hear that he has a carbon fibre rod inserted into little stephen so he can perform.
And that he prefers black holes.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 11:33, Reply)

da vinci was the man
someone being that good at so much stuff is just unheard of these days

it's the equivalent of stephen hawking builing a time machine and being a fucking brilliant artist
