FG: MAFIA 32: Signup Thread

[duke o' york]

Germaine Greer or Jessica Fletcher for Kassi?

[DrSpike]

Germaine.

[snoopy369]

hehe ...

Hunter S. Thompson, I'll make an exception for. I'm actually setting this in 2004, so he was still alive then. (OTOH he's not exactly the social type ... )

I'll start the thread later on today, with names assigned to each person based on their personality and/or random chance. Probable names:
Tom Clancy
Elmore Leonard
Robert Parker
John Barnes
China Mièville
Neil Gaiman
Laurell K. Hamilton
Anne Rice
John Irving
David Sedaris
Jonathon Saran Foer
Kurt Vonnegut
Joyce Carol Oates
Alice Sebold
David McCollough
Erik Larsen
Edmund Morris
Joseph Ellis
Paul Theroux
Frances Mayes
Bill Bryson
Phillip Caputo
Ann Rule
Dave Barry
Al Franken
George Carlin
Hunter S. Thompson
Sarah Vowell

You notice there are more than 22 names there So if you have a specific desire, post it today - I'll be out on the town today so it won't be until tonight that I have a chance to post the initial thread.

[Kassiopeia]

I am NOT Anne Rice. Otherwise everything goes.

[Adrian Hon]

I'll be China Mieville. Because he has a cool name.

[Tuberski]

I'm Dave Barry, dammit!


ACK!

[Nikolai]

I just got to be Tom Clancy...!

[rah]

I'll try George Carlin.


"I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?

[DrSpike]

Elmore Leonard if poss.

[Ben Kenobi]

Irving if I may.

[Skanky Burns]

Rah.

The crazed flying nimrods swirling about the room seemed invisible to the others, yet hooted and glared ominously at me everytime I lit another cigarette. Screw it, I figured, there's no percentage in telling any of these other so-called writers about their imminent peril, as they are all so preoccupied with their own tortured souls that they could never see the pitfalls before them. So I just poured another martini and settled in for the duration of this hellride.

Let 'em all die, I say. I'll use the opportunity collect their leftover substances of personal abuse for my personal inspection at a later date, heh-heh.

Hmm, I won't be able to call this one Fear and Loathing... hanging out with this bunch of hacks, perhaps something like "Loathing & Despair"...

[Sparrowhawk]

If it isn't too late, I would be pleased to be Joseph Ellis

Thanks!
/me

Edit: By the way, even though bolded.......that isn't a vote!!

[snoopy369]

Although I hadn't intended on including him, that will work. He is in the category of writers I could have chosen, although not quite as big of one as most of them.

Edit: Wow, apparently i HAD included him. I didn't even remember who he was initially when I read your post, sparrow! For shame ... i not only remembered him a few days ago when i wrote the list but I also work in a BOOKSTORE ffs...

[Sparrowhawk]

He was in your list.....I hadn't heard of him before I read his name in your list
