As our usual host is having oral surgery and the original guest host, ladybug218, is having connectivity problems, I am filling in for both.

Up for discussion: what fictional character would make your pup go SQUEE the most if he or she entered the Bar?

Funny thing is that in the case of Knox, he's met the two fictional characters that would do that: James Bond and Emma Peel. Not that he SQUEEs, but I established he was a huge fan of both long before either entered the Bar. And even odder, both have the same mun.

Gibbs doesn't know from fiction. Dean O'Dell would probably like to meet anyone from Shakespeare, just for the heck of it. I can't see Kirk really thinking about this.

Andy's probably would have been Luke Skywalker, who has already been and gone. :(

Jack O'Neill's already met Homer Simpson and Kirk. And Han Solo. :D

None of my others would be particularly squeeful about anyone, really. Well, Desmond would be quite pleased to meet any Dickens characters, of course.

On the other hand, James Adams would take extraordinary pleasure in taunting Alex Rider so much if he ever came to the bar. *wry grin*

[misslucyjane]

I've just realized *I'd* squee if somebody brought in the Janitor.

This random thought brought to you by your icon and my addiction to Scrubs reruns :D.

As much as I wish I could pull that off -- alas.

Hey! I need to thread with Jack!

Baron Ether: Captain Nemo.
Eric O'Grady: Jessica Rabbit.
Barney Stinson: Princess Leia.
Stark: Doesn't know traditional Earth fiction.
Hercules: For some reason, I'm picturing Clifford. As in, the big red dog.

Jessica Rabbit. Bwah!

[timjr.livejournal.com]

In other news, I think I've made a decision about Eric's appearance in the latest Avengers: The Initiative.

Because it makes no sense for Eric to have had a -real- traumatic incident with a naked Santa when he was eight.

Which means, Eric basically lied during his whole counselling session.

Just to f*** with Trauma.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

That is rather sneaky, and it is also rather beautiful.

I turned gooddoggromit into Clifford one Halloween. It was carnage.

[timjr.livejournal.com]

...oh man.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

Imagine if Clifford and Lockjaw met.

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

I was seriously considering applying Clifford for a while there...

[pheliskougra]

Princess Leia in her slave outfit?

[timjr.livejournal.com]

I think Barney would settle for anything.

Because then he'd be trying to get her out of whatever outfit.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

Oh, awesome question, Alex!

Unfortunately, I'm brain dead, so will only list one or two per character.

Hawkgirl: She'd love to meet the fictionalized version of Pugachev, that being the one made famous by Pushkin. Let's see. She likes historical dramatization novels, because she can have fun comparing the fiction to real life history.

There's no doubt in my mind that she'd love to meet Dan Simmons' awesome Orphu of Io and be his BFF, because a giant and very gentle trilobite-shaped robot spouting Proust is right up her alley.

She-Hulk: Atticus Finch, of course! Fictional crusading lawyers facing incredible odds for the win! She'd also like to meet Steve Dallas, just so she can watch him like one watches a train wreck, as well as Perry Mason, and, as you mentioned, anyone from Shakespeare. That goes for both of my primary pups, actually.

[sdelmonte]

I think we had an Atticus once upon a time.

Sadly, we have never had Steve Dallas. Which is just as well, given he's got no tact and all ego and would be a train wreck with nearly every single female in the Bar.

Of course, what I really want is Steve Dallas and Uncle Duke to meet. They would spend hours glaring at each other's Ray-Bans.

[vivien]

We did! I think he was Star's first character.

[mendanddefend_archive]

Does it count if the character isn't fictional in your pup's world? Because Bob would just about squee himself to death if Tron ever showed up in Milliways.

[sdelmonte]

Yes, I would say this counts. Tron's place as a legend almost makes him fictional.

[shinigami-rem.livejournal.com]

Parker already went SQEEE over Will.

[minkhollow]

Carl sort of already has (see also: meeting Valentine Wiggin first thing in the door), but anyone from Asimov or Heinlein's stuff would definitely catch his attention.
(He's better at going '!!!' in private, these days, but still. XD)

It's not that odd when you consider it's just me and I'm the meta queen.

[agoodshinkickin.livejournal.com]

Mike squees everytime someone he recognizes comes into the Bar, I don't know that there's any one person who would make him squee more than he already does.

Maybe Jimmy Buffett?

As for Raph, that's easy: Jack Daniels. Maybe Eddie Vedder.

[canadabear.livejournal.com]

Clark, canonically, doesn't really pay much attention to popular culture in his world, so I'm not sure there's anyone person who would make his day, so to speak. He did think it was pretty cool meeting The Doctor, and playing with Star Wars figures with Wes Janson, though.

The rest of my pups probably don't care/know about Earth pop culture, or have any of their own. I imagine, however, Jimmy would think it was pretty awesome if he met the real James Bond.

[iamthewolf.livejournal.com]

Oz was pretty psyched to meet Clark Kent. Not that he knows for sure it was Clark Kent, of course.

Next on the list is Bruce Wayne.

[gotham-knocking.livejournal.com]

Alas, the Bar's Bruce Wayne was retired a long time ago.

[ostro_goth]

For Asar-Suti, that has already happened: Boromir! There were no Tolkien characters in the bar at that time, or hardly any, so I had him read Tolkien, and watch the movies, without fear of canon puncture; and then Jenna brought Boromir, just because...

Cue much staaaaaaring...

In Teja's time, the idea of fiction was still insufficiently developed, and to Tower, there is no fiction -- all worlds are real!

[ceitfianna]

Will didn't really start reading into he was in the Bar but Merlin, and Jack Green made him go quiet with awe. I know meeting Melou and Puck was also strange since they're from stories he knew growing up.

I think if the Pirate King ever met Queen Victoria, he would probably forget how to speak for a moment and then possibly kiss her.

Tumnus sort of already has when he met Lucy since in his world, Men are more legends than fact.

Demeter being who she is, I don't think anyone would fit though meeting Jack Green made her squee and be gleeful.

[candied-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Momiji would fanboy if he bumped into Mogeta. *snicker-snorts* Mogeta being a Pikachu look-alike that appears in an anime series that exists within the Fruits Basket-verse. It's crazy and may have something to do with boxing. Or maybe its characters just wear boxing gloves for no reason at all.

Anyway, 'Miji's canonically a kinda-sorta fan of it, despite it being apparently geared more towards the pre-teen set.

The rest of mine, though, aren't good at that sorta stuff. Ganymede, Dahlia, and Soren all aren't big on absorbing the fiction of their worlds.

[maybe-not-emo.livejournal.com]

Metis would definitely keel over and die if either Cable or Deadpool walked into the Bar.

Sadly, I think they're both retired?

[muji]

I'm not really sure Mal would know anybody?

SARAH-HAL would have been...holy crap. Um. I can't even comprehend.

Delysia and probably any Shirley Temple character ever.

Ned and any Jedi ever. It's been hard to have him not go up to anyone.

Sallie I don't think would know anybody either. :(

[vivien]

Tom fanboyed all over Alexander the Great. He was babbling and everything. He was slightly terrified when he realized Merriman Lyon was a version of Merlin. They had a discussion about using his name in vain. It was brilliant.
