I suppose, after a lot of thought, I would like to get inside Ganesh, to see what it would be like to be tall and lean and to wear Aquascutum suits and to have that ready, cutting but just not cruel wit which I am often in awe of. And, of course, so I could hold Xoc's big, callused bricklayer's hand.

Who do you want to be when you grow up?

Ninjas make great pets

11:50 / 10.04.06

I wanted to be Monkey!! (spot the reference)

I'd want to be magic mutly. cause mut is on the right side of crazy. any one who tries to grow things on the underside of their sink is worth watching.

lonely as a cloud...

11:50 / 10.04.06

I want stoatie's hair. Any of it. Bleached, Bagpuss'd...I don't care!

William Sack

11:52 / 10.04.06

I wish I was a fit, strong, martial artist like Illmatic. I wouldn't mind his record collection either.

Quantum

You wanted to be a monkey?

I was going to barbecrush but since this thread is right here, I wish I could be like Deva, barbelith mainstay and my personal hero for many many reasons, named after a British town of 2000 years ago I believe. Now, since we've never met, I have to PM Deva and explain I'm not a crazy stalker. Go Deva!

Mistoffelees

12:08 / 10.04.06

I´d be astrojax69, because his location is Australia. I would really like to visit Australia, but it´s so expensive!

Dead Megatron

18:02 / 10.04.06

I want to be Honey Pot (aka Money $Hot) or *Mr* Carnival for a day, because they know their stuff. But only for a day, because the things they do (fasting, talking to god-thingies) seem to be very tiring, and I'm lasy.

illmatic

19:17 / 10.04.06

Mr Sack: Thanks for the compliment but you flatter me. I am quite crap when I think about my teacher and several of the guys I train with. My fitness is only fair to middling as well, compared to what it could be.

.... and I want this guys record collection.

Jack Denfeld

19:59 / 10.04.06

Grant, because he's smart and has one of the coolest jobs I could think of.

Jack Denfeld

20:01 / 10.04.06

That's our Grant by the way, not DC comics', although he's cool too.

Triplets

20:13 / 10.04.06

I would like to be Grant's lovely wife.

All Acting Regiment

21:52 / 10.04.06

I'd like to be "angel", "cop killer" or "steve block", as I don't see them around so they must have got into the secret secret fora. That is, not the secret fora, the secret secret fora.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

21:56 / 10.04.06

I'd like to be Jack Fear. He presents on here the way I've always dreamed of being when I'm old, only I don't think he's that old. That's GOT to be the best of both worlds.

Olulabelle

21:57 / 10.04.06

I'd be Legba so I could thump his mates for him.

Or maybe Alas or Deva or Ex or Id Entity because it would be lovely to be that clever for a just a little bit. 'Better to have borrowed clever than never to have been clever at all', as the famous saying goes.

All Acting Regiment

22:14 / 10.04.06

Lula: I'd be Legba

Olulabelle

22:25 / 10.04.06

Are you suggesting that you are Tom Baker?

I would like to be Tom Baker, it's true. But not as much as I'd like to be Brian Blessed.

Blake Head

23:21 / 10.04.06

Loomis.

Pretty much because I want his life. Smart, funny, relaxed, exemplary ‘lither, has good taste in books and gloomy Australian post-punk legends, and can pull off having cool tattoos. Does things I think are important better than I do. Might have barbe-crushed him already but was afraid that Ariadne would kick my face in...

astrojax69

00:40 / 11.04.06

and i'd be mistofelees, for mostly the same reasons!

(if ya do come visit, come by and say hi!)

Dead Megatron

00:46 / 11.04.06

Loomis.

Pretty much because I want his life.

When I read that, I misread it as "I want his wife". "How very 19th century suicidal romantic novel of him," I thought. "It's a barbe-tragedy waiting to unfold."

Benny the Ball

03:38 / 11.04.06

I'd be mario, and everyone on the comics forum would ask me to explain the DC Universe to them, and I would.

astrojax69

04:54 / 11.04.06

and for another day, i'd be gingerbop so i could tumble and spin and leap and clamber all cicussy like...

Whisky Priestess

10:43 / 11.04.06

I want to be Saveloy because I want to learn wonky thinking, and he has such peculiar and entertaining things inside his head.

Psi-L is working in hell

10:49 / 11.04.06

I want to be Sax, so I can be funny and clever and good at writing for a day. And of course I want to wear those leather trousers....

Cat Chant

15:38 / 11.04.06

Ee look! I have a crazy stalker!!!!

And I would like to be Mister Disco, obviously, because, well, just look at him. Seriously. Or plums, because ditto. Or fred, encore. Because they're all too clever, too sexy, too loud.

Or Jack Denfeld, maybe, because I would like to be able to be funny, and I would like to know more about comics.

Spyder Todd 2008

16:45 / 11.04.06

I wish I could be Keggers, because I've always wanted to be a god.

Also, I would like alas' amazing ability of consideration and acceptance in the face of complete and total ignorance.

And Haus' wit and literary prowess would be awesome too.

Spaniel

16:59 / 11.04.06

I worry about cop killer

Who would I like to be? Alas. Nuff said.

The Falcon

17:25 / 11.04.06

I'd probably like to be Illmatic also, what with the speaking to 5-D entities skillz. The record collection is probably not a small incentive either.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

17:53 / 11.04.06

Boboss- yes, I've been worrying a bit too.

ibis the being

19:34 / 11.04.06

I would like to be Haus for a day. Always smart, always well timed, just acerbic enough to be formidable, just silly enough to be likeable.

Ganesh

19:51 / 11.04.06

... tall and lean...

*splutters, valiantly sucks gut in*

Aw, but Sax, I am seriously lacking a Hinterland.

I used to covet the Hausness, and sought to emulate the feeling of being Haus by signing up to stupider boards than this one and thus being the most erudite, witty poster thereupon. Initially, it was fun; a few days in, the expectation to a) become involved in conflicts, b) sort out those conflicts and c) be amusing began to annoy me. It was like dealing with a group of demanding pre-teens. I felt I gained an insight into the double-edged swordness that is Being Haus.

wembley can change in 28 days

10:51 / 12.04.06

I would also like to be Haus, so for once I could write a post without wondering if Haus will see it and cringe at some usage or another.

Oh, for the day when I can post by dancing and mime!

Quantum

14:15 / 12.04.06

'nesh, you mean you don't look like Alan Alda's Hawkeye from M*A*S*H? Gutted. Next you'll be telling me Xoc isn't like Hugo Weaving, pfft!

Quantum

14:18 / 12.04.06

just misread my own post as Alan Alda's Hawkeye from M*A*S*H Gutted, euw! I didn't mean eviscerated, merely a meagre pun on paunchiness poorly parsed.
