a hot meme before my hot bath

List ten fictional characters you’d bang around with, and then tag five people to do the same:

(By my twisted, libertine reckoning…if bangin’ around with ten is good, thirteen is even better.)

1. Hubbell Gardner (from The Way We Were, as played by Robert Redford)

2. Howard Bannister (from What’s Up, Doc?, as played by Ryan O’Neal)

3. King Arthur (from Excalibur, as played by Nigel Terry)

4. Neil Pye (from The Young Ones, as played by Nigel Planer)

5. Sam ‘Ace’ Rothstein (from Casino, as played by Robert De Niro)

6. Richie Tenenbaum (from The Royal Tenenbaums, as played by Luke Wilson)

7. Michael Corleone (from The Godfather, as played by Al Pacino)

8. Aragorn (from The Lord of the Rings, as played by Viggo Mortensen)

9. Larry (from Closer, as played by Clive Owen)

10. Professor Henry Jones (from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, as played by Sean Connery)

11. Charles (from Four Weddings and a Funeral, as played by Hugh Grant)

12. Peter Morton (from Peter’s Friends, as played by Stephen Fry)

13. Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder version)…the best part being that this is actually the main reason I married my true love, Gregory — because he is totally and completely Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka in every way. Even my friends call him “Wonka”. He is my sun and my moon. Gosh, I love that boy.

And I don’t do the tag thing. Do it if you want — and if not, fuck off, lady.

About muffybolding

Muffy Bolding is a mother/writer/actor/knitter/feminist/withered debutante who likes the smell of asparagus pee, and remains obsessed with the bathroom hygiene of her three children -- despite the fact that they are 23, 19, and 16. She is blissfully married to a cute Jewish boy who looks like Willie Wonka, but remains tragically in love with the dead poet, Ted Hughes. She has the mouth of a Teamster, and her patron saint is Rocco (pestilence relief.) Ms. Bolding lives in Southern California, where she enjoys typing words, making movies, and plucking the rings from the fingers of the dead. She was the co-creator and Editor-in-Chief of the award winning satire zine, Fresno Lampoon, and in between writing screenplays, carnival barking, and savagely threatening her trio of darling larvae with a wooden spoon, she currently publishes the zine, "Withered Debutante." More of her work can also be found in the anthology, "Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts", the compilation zine, "Mamaphiles III: Coming Home", as well as in The Cortland Review and hipmama.com. She is currently writing and producing for film and television, and working on a book of essays entitled, "Inside A Chinese Dragon." She has slept around, but not nearly as much as she would have liked.
