You can learn all you need to know about a person's politics through a simple game of Marry, F---, Kill.
It's simple: You name three celebrities. The other player(s) decide who to marry, who to sleep with, and who to kill.
The list I gave the boyfriend: Roseanne Barr, Ann Coulter, Margaret Cho.
I'm sorry, Ann fans. It's lucky you're all armed to the teeth so you can exact your revenge on him. Believe me, I tried to talk him out of it:
Me: You're going to marry a self-confessed fag hag who has sworn to stick her finger up your rectum during oral sex.
Boyfriend: I'll get her a gay pool boy. A whole cabana of them, whatever it takes.
The list he gave me: O.J. Simpson, Michael Moore, Michael Jackson.
Me: Let's see: We know all too well what the consequences of marriage to O.J. are, so that's out. I'll have sex with him and marry Michael Jackson. It's not like marriage to Jacko involves actual sex anyway.
Boyfriend: You're going to marry a pedophile just so you can kill Michael Moore.
Me: We'll need a prenup. I'm not paying the bills at Neverland when he goes to jail.
Hours of fun, hours of horror.
But I'll never look at him the same since he admitted he'd have sex with Eleanor Clift--not that the other choices were much better.

Posted by: Dr Alice at January 24, 2005 05:50 AMThank God, I feared I was the only one with a thing for Eleanor Clift.
Though the thought of Cokie growling "harder, harder" in her throaty baritone is kinda tempting.

--is going to give me nightmares for a week.
Maybe I should have him reconsider this one. I think he decided to kill Reno, shtup Clift, and marry Roberts. Branch Davidians, you are avenged!
You can give people three celebrity crushes instead of three arf-arfs, and that's cruel too since they have to kill one, but somehow not quite as fun.

Screw: Ann Coulter
Kill: Margaret Cho
Barr is the only real marriage material there. She's a kook but at least she has a sense of humor. There might be something there to work with. Plus, after the divorce I'd get to make movies with Arnold Schwarzenneger. Ann might be fun to look at (at least her legs are fine) but that is way too much intense bullshit to live with every day of your life. Little known fact: Margaret Cho is really Michael Moore's reflection in one of those funhouse mirrors.

You have damaged me for life.
I'm sorry, in this case, I choose the tiger.

Sex with Ann Coulter. Kill Margaret Cho. Take own life before wedding to Roseanne Barr.
