<p>That leaves us with a single-day, no-holds-barred, winner-takes-all death-match between the likes of Old Spice Guy and Korben Dallas.</p>
<p>Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn!</p>

<p>Cock Wars 2011: Return of the Johnson began humbly. In the Alpha Quadrant, Jack Sparrow took down the Pikmin 12-6, Tesla beat out Felicia Day 11-6, Princess Leia triumphed over the Merfolk of the Pearl Trident 10-5, and Barney Stinson shot past Chewbacca 9-6.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t until the Beta Quadrant polls were posted that it became apparent this would be a different kind of year. Rather than a tight race to the finish, we were about to watch a coronation. In round 7, Old Spice Guy blew out next-closest-competitor Luke Skywalker 15-4. When most winners were doubling their closest opponent&#8217;s tallies, he was almost quadrupling his.</p>
<p>The Old Spice Guy witnessed tighter competition in the second round. He managed 9 votes to Edward Norton&#8217;s 4, Charlie Sheen&#8217;s 3, and Lando Calrissian&#8217;s 3.</p>
<p>In the final battle, Old Spice guy faced competition who, for anyone else, would have been formidable: Abraham Lincoln, Princess Leia, and Sheldon Cooper. They all paled in might however, and were easily defeated. Lincoln took 4 votes back to the White House, Leia flew 2 back to Alderaan, and Cooper snatched 2 for the lab. Old Spice Guy, meanwhile, scored 11 points to decorate his shower with.</p>
<p>This won&#8217;t be the last of Old Spice Guy. Join him, Lincoln, and 14 other favourites from the history of Cock Wars beginning this Wednesday, May 18th when we kick off Cock Wars: The Blown Wars. This will be a two week contest between the greatest heroes in Cock Wars history, celebrating the conclusion of this magical 6 year journey. The top two from each year of Cock will be there, plus three very special previously disqualified candidates, and one rather purple dark horse from the mists of the past.</p>

<strong>Donkey Kong</strong> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13341" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Donkey-Kong.jpg" alt="" title="Donkey-Kong" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13341" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Nintendo.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Donkey Kong is a massive gorilla with two interests: bananas and women. His adventures related to those two things fuel the joy of humanity. Once, long ago, the 800 pound behemoth kidnapped a young woman named Pauline. A stout plumber named Mario was forced to come to her rescue, and thus modern video games were born. More recently, Kong has repeatedly had his banana horde stolen by various evil animal forces, giving an excuse for much joyous platforming to be had.</p>

<strong>Mega Man</strong> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13339" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Mega-Man.jpg" alt="" title="Mega-Man" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13339" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Capcom.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Mega Man is an android of moderate strength who frequently (very frequently) builds himself into a state of astounding power through the harvest of upgrades from various robotic threats. Mega Man began life as a mere android before being converted into a fighting robot for the purpose of defeating the evil Dr. Wily&#8217;s nefarious machinations.</p>

<strong>Abraham Lincoln</strong> (badjokebob)</p>
<div id="attachment_13338" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Abraham_Lincoln.jpg" alt="" title="Abraham_Lincoln" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13338" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Public domain.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> &#8220;Honest&#8221; Abe Lincoln was the sixteenth president and he engaged in the ultimate pissing contest with Jefferson Davis. As a child he grew up in the raw frontier of America learning hard work and self sufficiency, his log splitting abilities are legendary. Abe was a Captain of militia during the Black Hawk War, he said they &#8220;lost more blood to mosquitoes than Indians&#8221; Despite this poor showing he was soon the president of a country at war with itself. As Commander in Chief he walked a fine line between trampling the rights of all Americans and ending the institution of slavery in America. He was able to keep a large and well supplied army in the field long enough for a General to figure out what to do with it. </p>

<strong>Quote:</strong> Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.</p>

<p>
<strong>Emperor Palpatine</strong> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13340" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Emperor-Palpatine.jpg" alt="" title="Emperor-Palpatine" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13340" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Lucasfilm.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious, is an especially devious Dark Lord of the Sith who manipulated his way through the ranks of the Republic and was ultimately elected President. From that position, he was able to orchestrate a manufactured war with a manufactured threat and convince the senate to appoint him Emperor.</p>
<p>
As Emperor, Palpatine ruled with viciousness and malice, caring for nothing but his own power. Palpatine dissolved the Imperial Senate and believed he could maintain control through fear alone. It was a good plan, and he would have gotten away with it if it weren&#8217;t for those meddling rebels. The Emperor had no issue with annihilating entire planets in order to keep his Empire under control.</p>
<p>
Palpatine&#8217;s force powers were likely the greatest of the modern era. He concealed the fact that he was a Dark Lord from the entire Jedi order during his rise to power, and defeated Yoda himself in a lightsaber duel.</p>

<p>
<strong>Garak</strong> (BloodLark)</p>
<div id="attachment_13328" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Garak.jpg" alt="" title="Garak" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13328" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: CBS Paramount.</p></div>
<p><strong>Origin:</strong> If you ask you’ll get a different answer.</p>
<p>
<strong>Notable contribution:</strong> Garak is possibly one of the most influential individuals of DS9. At first seeming just a simple tailor, rumours of his rather important past would occasionally pop up. Eventually he was revealed to be the son and protégé of Enabran Tain, the head of the Obsidian Order. Forced into exile he had a brief relationship with Gul Dukat’s daughter. Then during the Dominion war, at the behest of Sisko, he assassinated a Romulan Senator to make sure the Romulans would not join with the Dominion. This action helped Starfleet to win the Dominion war.</p>
<p>
<strong>Questions:</strong> Would you have lunch with him?</p>
<p>
<strong>Death:</strong> Classified.</p>
<p>
<strong>Quote:</strong> The truth is usually just an excuse for lack of imagination.</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<strong>Dexter Morgan</strong> (Weskimo)</p>
<div id="attachment_13329" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Dexter-Morgan.jpg" alt="" title="Dexter-Morgan" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13329" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Showtime.</p></div>
<p>
<strong>Description:</strong> Dexter Morgan is a sociopath with an undeniable need to kill. He needs to feel those last shuddering breaths of his victims, see that shocked look in their eyes, and bear witness to their sudden violent demise. But Dexter is no ordinary serial killer. He may have no conscience, he may have very little in the way of humanity, but he possesses an extremely strong survival instinct, and so follows his Code for choosing victims as an integral part in never getting caught.</p>
<p>
The differences in Dexter&#8217;s mind were quickly recognized by his foster father, a police officer frustrated at watching the law protect the guilty and the guilty walk free. And so, he curbed Dexter&#8217;s need towards fulfilling a purpose: Justice. Dexter&#8217;s Code forces him to hunt and kill only those he can prove are guilty of murder themselves. All his life, Dexter has honed his skills to be the most capable killer he could be, taking courses in advanced jiu-jitsu to better subdue his targets and even working as a forensics analyst for the police. </p>
<p>
Efficient, deadly, and exceptionally good at cleaning up after himself, Dexter&#8217;s victims never see his attacks coming. He, however, will take some time to discuss the crimes of the accused with them after they have been restrained. His Kill Rooms are designed to have significance, meaning. He uses the backdrop to highlight to his prey the reason they have been chosen and remind them that they brought their deaths upon themselves.</p>
<p>
<strong>What Others Are Saying:</strong> &#8220;You give me the fucking creeps, you know that Dexter?&#8221; &#8211; Sergeant Doakes</p>
<p>
<strong>Special Moves:</strong> Murder, pretending to not be a murderer.</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<strong>Dr. Cal Lightman</strong> (BloodLark)</p>
<div id="attachment_13327" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Lightman.jpg" alt="" title="Lightman" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13327" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Fox.</p></div>
<p><strong>Origin:</strong> A Brit</p>
<p>
<strong>Notable contribution:</strong> Dr.Lighman is a rather large arsehole who is an expert at reading people&#8217;s body language. Specifically he excels in reading the micro expressions of someone’s face. It is thought these expressions reveal what you are truly thinking. Cal uses this ability to aid clients, solve crimes, and torment his employees.</p>
<p>
<strong>Questions:</strong> Would you want someone to read your face?</p>
<p>
<strong>Death:</strong> Bloody hell not yet.</p>
<p>
<strong>Quote:</strong> Truth or happiness. Never both.</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<strong>Queen Amidala</strong> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13330" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Queen-Amidala.jpg" alt="" title="Queen-Amidala" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13330" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Lucasfilm.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Queen Padmé Amidala was a strong proponent of democracy during her position as senator for Naboo (how a queen can be in favour of democracy, I have no idea). During this time she was foolishly seduced by rape-face Anakin Skywalker who won her over by telling her she was better than sand.</p>
<p>
Amidala died of grief (as happens so often to women in fiction I&#8217;ve discovered) shortly after the rise of Emperor Palpatine. She just managed to pump out two kids with Anakin though, whose names are Luke and Leia. They ultimately proved that their mother&#8217;s life was not a total waste.</p>
<p>
<strong>Battle cry:</strong> &#8220;I will sign no treaty, Senator.&#8221;</p>

When she&#8217;s not appearing in beautifully melancholy films, she likes to be a political and anti-poverty activist.</p>
<p>
ScarJo&#8217;s other interests include singing and twice-annual HIV tests.</p>

<strong>Éowyn</strong> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13332" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Eowyn.jpg" alt="" title="Eowyn" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13332" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: New Line Cinema.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Éowyn is the niece of King Théoden and a shieldmaiden of Rohan. She grew depressed following her father&#8217;s death at the hand of orcs, and her mother&#8217;s subsequent death-by-grief. As Éowyn is female and a member of nobility, she was unable to avenge these deaths for a long time, forced instead to look after her sickly uncle while being stalked by the woefully unattractive Gríma Wormtongue.</p>
<p>
Eventually, Rohan was able to cast out the evil influence of Saruman, and with it her uncle&#8217;s illness. Rohan ultimately went to war against the dark forces of Sauron, where Éowyn herself was able to sneak into battle. Tag-teaming with Merry, Éowyn was able to take down the Witch King of Angmar himself, of whom it was said no man could kill.</p>
<p>
<strong>Battle cry:</strong> &#8220;I am no man.&#8221;</p>

<strong>Gary Oldman</strong> (BloodLark)</p>

<p><strong>Origin:</strong> Born 1958 in Britain.</p>
<p>
<strong>Notable contribution:</strong> He is one of the greatest and easily transformed actors. He is the actor that half the time you don’t even realize it’s him. He’s played characters in movies such as <em>The Fifth Element</em>, <em>Air Force One</em>, <em>Hannibal</em>, <em>Harry Potter</em>, and newest <em>Batman</em> movies. Every one of us will always remember him as Zorg, and the youngsters will remember him as Sirius Black. Seeing his name in the credits of any movie almost guarantees an incredible film. P.S. he was married to Uma Thurman for a while, weird.</p>
<p>
<strong>Questions:</strong> Zorg or Sirius?</p>
<p>
<strong>Death:</strong> Nope.</p>
<p>
<strong>Quote:</strong> &#8220;Any actor who tells you that they have become the people they play, unless they&#8217;re clearly diagnosed as a schizophrenic, is bullshitting you.&#8221;</p>

<strong>Scryb Sprites</strong> (Weskimo)</p>
<div id="attachment_13322" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Scryb-Sprites.jpg" alt="" title="Scryb-Sprites" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13322" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Wizards of the Coast.</p></div>
<p>
<strong>Description:</strong> The Scryb are a tribe of Faeries that lurk in Dominaria&#8217;a forests, waiting. Just waiting. Sure, they are often seen flitting about, frolicking amongst the trees and leaves, but don&#8217;t be fooled. They&#8217;re just waiting for you. Yes, you. Don&#8217;t stop and gawk at their miniature motions. Don&#8217;t linger over their antics. They&#8217;re out to hurt you. For one damage. The funnier you think they are, the more they want to hurt you. So just keep on walking. That&#8217;s right. Don&#8217;t look at them. They&#8217;ll get you if you look at them.</p>
<p>
<strong>Special Move:</strong> Throwing berries </p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<strong>Alice</strong> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13324" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Alice.jpg" alt="" title="Alice" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13324" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Screen Gems.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Alice&#8217;s early career was spent working as a security officer for Umbrella Corporation. It was there that she was left to combat the rampaging hordes of zombies created by the company&#8217;s weapons experiments. Alice went on to bond with the T-Virus, growing vastly in power.</p>
<p>
Following the destruction of humanity by Umbrella&#8217;s T-Virus, Alice went on to lead a rag-tag bunch of survivors against Umbrella&#8217;s ongoing nefarious plots while battling a never-ending supply of zombies and super-zombies.</p>
<p>

<p>
<strong>Hercules</strong> (BloodLark)</p>
<div id="attachment_13321" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Hercules.jpg" alt="" title="Hercules" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13321" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Public domain.</p></div>
<p><strong>Origin:</strong> Son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmene.</p>
<p>
<strong>Notable contribution:</strong> He Completed the Twelve Labours set by Eurystheus, joined with the Argonauts to get the Golden Fleece, and freed Prometheus. Throughout his life he had to contend with his Hera, she was just a bit pissed at Zeus’ infidelities. When given the option of a pleasant/easy life or a severe/glorious one he chose glory and definitely lived up to it.  </p>
<p>
<strong>Questions:</strong> Tate Donovan or Kevin Sorbo?</p>
<p>
<strong>Death:</strong> Hercules voluntarily had himself burned on a pyre while still alive. The fire consumed his mortal flesh and with that loss he became a true god.</p>
<p>
<strong>Quote:</strong> Once you have harpies you can&#8217;t get rid of them.</p>
<p>

<p>
<strong>Steven Spielberg</strong> (MerrGe)</p>
<div id="attachment_13323" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Steven-Spielberg.jpg" alt="" title="Steven-Spielberg" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13323" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Public domain.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Undoubtedly one of the most influential film personalities in history, Steven Spielberg is perhaps Hollywood&#8217;s best known director and one of the wealthiest filmmakers in the world. Spielberg has countless big-grossing, critically acclaimed credits to his name, as producer, director and writer. Nominated for 6 Academy Awards for best director, and another 6 for best picture, as well as 10 Golden Glode nominations for best director, and another 3 for best picture. But I think his work really speaks for itself.</p>
<p>
Some highlights include work on <em>Indiana Jones</em> (all of them), <em>Jaws</em>, <em>Close Encounters of the Third Kind</em>, <em>Back to the Future</em> (all of them), <em>Jurassic Park</em> (all of them), <em>Men in Black</em> (both), <em>Who Framed Roger Rabbit</em>, <em>Schindler&#8217;s List</em> (which he apparently asked not to be paid for), <em>Memoirs of a Geisha</em>, <em>Twister</em>, <em>Gremlins</em>, <em>Saving Private Ryan</em>, and <em>Transformers</em> (but we can forgive him for that one). His work also includes family fair like <em>Balto</em>, <em>Animaniacs</em>, <em>Pinky and the Brain</em>, <em>Batteries Not Included</em>, <em>An American Tail</em> (and <em>Fieval Goes West</em>), <em>Hook</em>, <em>ET</em>, and <em>The Land Before Time</em>.</p>
<p>
I mean really, what more do you want from one man? </p>

<p>
<strong>The Dude</strong> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13282" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/The-Dude.jpg" alt="" title="The-Dude" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13282" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Universal Studios.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Put simply, The Dude abides. Jeffrey &#8220;The Dude&#8221; Lebowski is a skilled bowler, and an even finer slacker. His laid-back attitude towards life has helped him endure hardships like the ruination of his rug, the death of his close friend, and involvement in a complex embezzlement scheme.</p>
<p>
The Dude&#8217;s legacy lives on in the religion which his life inspired, known as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dudeism">Dudeism</a>.</p>
<p>
<strong>Battle cry:</strong> &#8220;Well that&#8217;s just, like, uhh&#8230; your opinion, man.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<strong>Saruman</strong> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13285" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Saruman.jpg" alt="" title="Saruman" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13285" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: New Line Cinema.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Saruman the White came to Middle-earth as the head of Istari, a group of five wizards sent by the Valar to combat Sauron. Of the five, four failed in their tasks, but perhaps none harder than Saruman. Instead of screwing off like the blue wizards, or playing with animals like the brown wizard, Saruman actually teamed up with Sauron to really screw with The Fellowship and its allies.</p>
<p>
<strong>What others are saying:</strong> &#8220;Tell me, &#8216;friend,&#8217; when did Saruman the Wise abandon reason for madness?&#8221; &#8211; Gandalf</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<strong>Starscream</strong> (Weskimo)</p>
<div id="attachment_13284" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Starscream.jpg" alt="" title="Starscream" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13284" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Hasbro.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Starscream is Megatron&#8217;s right hand man and arguably the second most powerful Decepticon in operation. He fiercely subscribes to the rule of &#8220;survival of the fittest&#8221; and is one damn highly ambitious alien robot.</p>
<p>
Constantly looking for an angle to wrest control of the Decepticon forces from Megatron&#8217;s clutches, he also possesses an intense hatred for the Autobots and their allies, and uses that hatred to fuel his attacks upon them. Transforming into a fighter jet, he rains spite-charged rage upon his foes, delivering a destruction entreé with a side of cruelty to any in his bombing run&#8217;s path.</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<strong>C-3P0 &#038; R2D2</strong> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13283" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/C3P0-R2D2.jpg" alt="" title="C3P0-R2D2" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13283" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Lucasfilm.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Of the many famous tag-teams in cinema history, perhaps none stand taller than the whining C-3P0 and his robust little companion R2-D2. C-3P0 began life as an engineering experiment by the eventual Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader. R2-D2 started out as a Naboo defense forces astromech droid, but went on to carry the designs of the Death Star within his rusty innards, a role which eventually became vital to the defeat of the Empire.</p>
<p>
<strong>What others are saying:</strong> &#8220;Never tell me the odds!&#8221; &#8211; Han Solo</p>

<strong>Count Chocula</strong> (Weskimo)</p>
<div id="attachment_13275" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Count-Chocula.jpg" alt="" title="Count Chocula" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13275" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: General Mills</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Everyone&#8217;s favorite chocolate-loving vampire, Count Chocula, ruled the General Mills cereal lineup with an iron-bucktoothed-grin for the better part of two decades.</p>
<p>
This guy had cereal mascotting down to a damn science. Monster: check. Sugary delicious cereal: check. Cult appeal: check. The man even got the Jewish communities up in arms over a medallion on the box that supposedly resembled the Star of David, so religious controversy: check. This prick was the original pop culture vampire, he didn&#8217;t need to be a sparkly pedophile vampire to get chicks, he stuck with the tried and true method of chocolate. It&#8217;s rumored he keeps a Toblerone in his pocket, if you know what I mean&#8230;</p>
<p>
<strong>Famous Lines:</strong> &#8220;I vant to eat your cereal&#8221;</p>
<p>
<strong>What others are saying:</strong> &#8220;Who the fuck is Count Chocula?&#8221;</p>
<p>

<p>
<strong>Andrew Jackson</strong> (badjokebob)</p>
<div id="attachment_13274" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Andrew-Jackson.jpg" alt="" title="Andrew-Jackson" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13274" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Public domain.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Old Hickory was born in 1767 three weeks after his father died. His miserable childhood during the American revolution also featured the death of his two brothers and mother all in war related deaths. After being captured by the British he refused to polish an officers boots and was slashed at with a sword leaving him scarred for life.</p>
<p>
For some reason little Andy grew up hating the British with a passion. During (technically it was just after) the war of 1812 the future 7th president of the United States kicked British ass so hard they never dared fight us in a war ever again. A few years later, after being ordered to fight Seminole Indians in Georgia he &#8220;accidentally&#8221; took Florida from the Spanish.</p>
<p>
Jackson was not only a brilliant general but he was also a barroom brawler and duelist. He killed a dozen or so (records are incomplete) men that way. He won the plurality of votes for president in 1824 however his congressional enemies gave the top slot to the son of a former president (seems that some things never change). Instead of pouting and growing a beard Jackson fought back and took what was rightfully his four years later.</p>
<p>
<strong>Bonus stats:</strong> +5 vrs. Britons. +3 duelist.</p>
<p>

<p>
<strong>Joanna Dark</strong> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13277" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Joanna-Dark.jpg" alt="" title="Joanna-Dark" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13277" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Rare/Microsoft.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Carrington Institute Agent Joanna Dark is a force to be reckoned with for any unnamed corporate henchman. Her work against the dataDyne corporation and its concerning conspiracies with alien forces has earned her a worthy reputation as mass-murderer.</p>
<p>
<strong>Special moves:</strong> Circle-strafing with pistols in Felicity.</p>
<p>
<strong>What others are saying:</strong> &#8220;Goodnight, Ms. Dark.&#8221; &#8211; Cassandra De Vries</p>
<p><center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<strong>Natalie Portman</strong> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13276" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Natalie-Portman.jpg" alt="" title="Natalie-Portman" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13276" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: <a href='http://www.flickr.com/photos/jwjensen/4995305298/'>Natalie Portman</a>. <a href='http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/deed.en_CA'>CC-BY-SA</a>.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Natalie Portman is a famed American/Israeli actor who has gained reputations for: being hot, being a terrible actor in <em>Star Wars</em>, being a decent actor in other things, and frequently using an awful fake English accent.</p>
<p>
Natalie&#8217;s big screen debut came in the 1994 film <em>Léon</em>, which everyone should see because it is awesome.</p>
<p>
<strong>Battle cry:</strong> &#8220;I will sign no treaty, Senator.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<strong>Famous lines:</strong> &#8220;To drink and fight&#8230; to fuck all night.&#8221; &#8211; Natalie <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpMPFGBtE7Q">on SNL</a>.</p>

<strong>Sheldon Cooper</strong> (Weskimo)</p>
<div id="attachment_13278" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Sheldon-Cooper.jpg" alt="" title="Sheldon-Cooper" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13278" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: CBS.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper, B.S, M.S, M.A, Ph.D, Sc.D, is possibly the smartest man ever fictionally created. Armed with a fully eidetic memory, a healthy distaste for human contact, and an undeniable sense of self-worth, Shelldor, level 85 Blood Elf, dominates his small social group with his intelligence and unassailable stubbornness. It&#8217;s often questioned why the group lets him get his way but the consensus is that it would be more work than it&#8217;s actually worth to argue with him. </p>
<p>
Sheldon&#8217;s extremely high IQ of 187 leads him to lead an exceptionally logical, though egocentric, life. Despite this, his complete social ineptitude and tendency to bluntly speak his mind often get him into disagreements with friends, family, and the service industry. He also possesses any number of strange personal idiosyncrasies that leave him in conflict with the rest of the human world. These include germophobia, an obsessive attachment to routines, and a barely functional understanding of sarcasm, irony, or basic human emotion.</p>
<p>
All of that being said, Sheldon&#8217;s not crazy; his mother had him tested.</p>
<p>
<strong>Likes:</strong> The Comic Book Store. Spock. Trains.</p>
<p>
<strong>Dislikes:</strong> Being interrupted or ignored. Friends bickering. Wil Wheaton.</p>
<p>
<strong>Famous Lines:</strong> &#8220;That&#8217;s my spot.&#8221; &#8220;In the winter that seat is close enough to the radiator to remain warm, and yet not so close as to cause perspiration. In the summer, it&#8217;s directly in the path of a cross-breeze created by opening windows there and there. It faces the television at an angle that is neither direct, thus discouraging conversation, nor so far wide as to create a parallax distortion. I could go on, but I think I&#8217;ve made my point.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Oh, Mario. How I wish I could control everyone the way I can with you&#8230; Hop, you little plumber! Hop, hop, hop!&#8221; &#8220;Bazinga!&#8221;</p>

<strong>Mountain Goat</strong> (Weskimo)</p>

<p><b>Description:</b> The Mountain Goat&#8217;s power among 5th Edition Magic: the Gathering is legendary. He goes where he will, hits who he will, and delivers righteous horny thunder on unsuspecting opponents. </p>
<p>
He doesn&#8217;t need sharp teeth, he doesn&#8217;t need battlefield dominating abilities, and he sure as hell doesn&#8217;t need your other bullshit creatures crowding him. Let the Goat do his damn thing and mountainwalk all over the fucking place.</p>

<p><b>Description:</b> One of only 7 directors who have won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay (Orig/Adapted) for the same film. Formerly known for directing a bunch of horror movies, but all you really need to know is that he is responsible for the three <em>Lord of the Rings</em> movies. I mean really, what more do you want?</p>
<p>
<strong>Special move:</strong> Losing 50 pounds</p>
<p>
<strong>Quotes:</strong> &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry. Gollum isn&#8217;t going to be another Jar Jar Binks.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<strong>What others are saying:</strong> &#8220;I always trusted him. If there was a way that I had seen something and he had seen it differently, I would&#8230; trust his vision. We were in brilliant hands.&#8221; &#8211; Elijah Wood </p>

<strong>Pikachu</strong> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13279" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Pikachu.jpg" alt="" title="Pikachu" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13279" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Nintendo.</p></div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Among the literally hundreds of Pokémon species which exist, the Pikachu has risen to be the most well known, and among the millions of Pikachus, the one known as &#8220;Pikachu,&#8221; whose master is Ash Ketchum, has become the lone animal in the universe most desired by Team Rocket.</p>
<p>
All of this is for good reason. The thousands of hours of anime which Pikachu has starred in demonstrate that he is of a level beyond the cap. His electrical blasting powers are above those that maxed-out stats should allow.</p>
<p>
<strong>Battle cry:</strong> &#8220;Piiikaaaaaachuuuuuuuuuu!&#8221;</p>

<p>
<strong>Boba Fett</strong> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13286" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Boba-Fett.jpg" alt="" title="Boba-Fett" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13286" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Lucasfilm.</p></div>
<p><strong><br />
Description:</strong> Boba Fett had a hard childhood. He is a clone who was raised by Jango Fett as a son. This sole source of positive emotional connection was ended by the loose canon Mace Windu during the Clone Wars when Boba was still a child, a murder by decapitation which Boba witnessed firsthand. Fett went on to be a fearsome bounty hunter himself, tracking the Millennium Falcon for the Empire and later taking the frozen-in-carbonite Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt to collect a bounty.</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<strong>Odo</strong> (BloodLark)</p>
<div id="attachment_13289" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Odo.jpg" alt="" title="Odo" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13289" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: CBS Paramount.</p></div>
<p><strong>Origin:</strong> As a young Changeling he was shot out into space, he was then discovered in 2337.</p>
<p>
<strong>Notable Contribution:</strong> Being a Changeling, one of Odo’s favourite pastimes is shifting into different objects, creatures, and surfaces. Every 16 hours Odo must return to his liquid state and prefers to relax in his bucket. As Chief of Security both under the Cardassian Occupation and Federation administration Odo is well known for being reliable and very good at his job.  Odo has a long-time rival in Quark, the fact that Odo knows that Quark is always up to something is part of what makes Quark a good source of criminal information. Odo had a fairly active love life, he married Lwaxana Troi, had a fling with a female shape shifter, and had a long time crush but short time relationship with Kira NeNerys.</p>
<p>
<strong>Questions:</strong> Just exactly how well can he shift (if you know what I mean)?</p>
<p>
<strong>Death:</strong> Returned to the Great Link in 2375</p>
<p>
<strong>Quote:</strong> &#8220;Laws change depending on who&#8217;s making them, but justice is justice.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<strong>Richard Castle</strong> (BloodLark)</p>
<div id="attachment_13288" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Richard-Castle.jpg" alt="" title="Richard-Castle" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13288" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: ABC.</p></div>
<p><strong>Notable Contribution:</strong> Writing such wonderful books as <em>Storm Rising</em> and <em>Storm&#8217;s Break</em>. He has been recently working on books starring his inspired character Nicky Heat. While having a teenage daughter and two previous marriages, Castle is still quite the lady’s man. He also tends to still have flings with his first ex-wife, whom he refers to as a &#8220;deep fried Twinkie.&#8221; Castle got permission to work with the police to help inspire his next set of novels. At first Beckett resents this paring but over time grows to appreciate Castle&#8217;s inventive and unusual way at looking at murders.</p>
<p>
<strong>Questions:</strong> Has anyone read <em>Heat Wave</em>?</p>
<p>
<strong>Death:</strong> To be determined</p>
<p>
<strong>Quote:</strong> Did you know in the original Greek, &#8220;tragedy&#8221; literally means &#8220;goat song&#8221;? I know, doesn&#8217;t make any sense to me either, but whatever that first story was, I can&#8217;t help but think, bad things must have happened to that goat&#8230;</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<strong>Ralph Fiennes</strong> (BloodLark) </p>
<div id="attachment_13287" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Ralph-Fiennes.jpg" alt="" title="Ralph-Fiennes" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13287" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: <a href='http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ralph_Fiennes.jpg'>Ralph Fiennes</a>. <a href='http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en'>CC-BY-SA</a>.</p></div>
<p><strong>Origin:</strong> Born 1962.</p>
<p>
<strong>Notable Contribution:</strong> Been in fantastic and critically acclaimed movies like <em>Schindler&#8217;s List</em>, <em>The English Patient</em>, <em>Red Dragon</em>, and the <em>Harry Potter</em> series. He has also been in a couple bombs like <em>The Avengers</em> and <em>Maid in Manhattan</em>. He is well known for playing deep characters. Unfortunately, while he has been nominated several times he has yet to win an Academy Award.</p>
<p>
<strong>Questions:</strong> What will he do after <em>Harry Potter</em>?</p>
<p>
<strong>Death:</strong> Yay not yet!</p>
<p>
<strong>Quote:</strong> &#8220;I&#8217;m sure acting is a deeply neurotic thing to do.&#8221;</p>

<p>
<b>Quark</b> (BloodLark)</p>
<div id="attachment_13217" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Quark.jpg" alt="" title="Quark" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13217" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: CBS Paramount.</p></div>
<p><b>Notable Contribution:</b> Running the wonderful bar on DS9. Quark and Odo have an interesting adversarial friendship. Quark is always trying to pull off illegal get rich schemes and Odo tries to catch him. Quarks unusual loyalty and caring interferes with his profits. He has been known to pass up opportunities to save family. This trait is also why he is not in jail. It is better to have a thief you &#8220;trust&#8221; than one you can’t. He is also known for living religiously by the Rules of Acquisition.  </p>
<p>
<b>Death:</b> Data not found.</p>
<p>
<b>Quote:</b> &#8220;The speed of technological advancement isn&#8217;t nearly as important as short term quarterly gains.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<b>Luke Skywalker</b> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13213" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Luke-Skywalker.jpg" alt="" title="Luke-Skywalker" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13213" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Lucasfilm.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Luke grew up knowing precious little about his family heritage. His father was Anakin Skywalker, who later became Darth Vader, pretty much the meanest dude in the galaxy. Once Luke met up with Vader&#8217;s old master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, things began to come together for him. He was able to shake out the infamous sand of his home planet and smack the Empire, along with his father, down all while becoming a Jedi.</p>
<p>
<b>Special moves:</b> Switching off his targeting computer.</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<b>Old Spice Guy</b> (MerrGe)</p>
<div id="attachment_13216" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Old-Spice-Guy.jpg" alt="" title="Old-Spice-Guy" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13216" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Old Spice.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> &#8220;Hello, voters. Look at my competitors, now back to me, now back at my competitors, now back to me. Sadly, they aren&#8217;t me, but that&#8217;s all right because you can still vote for me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in front of a computer deciding between me and and some people who aren&#8217;t me. What&#8217;s in your hand? Back to me. It&#8217;s a mouse. You can use it to click and vote for me. Scroll up! Back down! Did you vote for me? You should. Why? Because I smell like Old Spice and I&#8217;m riding on a horse that&#8217;s made of diamonds.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>Special Moves:</b> Smelling fantastic and doing the impossible</p>
<p>
<b>Battle Cry:</b> &#8220;Swan Dive!&#8221; </p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<b>Thomas Edison</b> (BloodLark)</p>
<div id="attachment_13203" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Thomas-Edison.jpg" alt="" title="Thomas-Edison" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13203" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Public domain.</p></div>
<p><b>Notable Contribution:</b> Because he worked with telegraphs he nicknamed his first two kids Dot and Dash. He did invent things like the carbon microphone transmitter, the stock ticker, and the kinetoscope. He also designed the first commercial fluoroscope. Unfortunately, his first willing human guinea pig died from a lethal dose of radiation. He fortunately lost the &#8220;War of the Currents&#8221; to Tesla.</p>
<p>
<b>Questions:</b> Do you know which invention Edison only bought the patents for and didn’t do himself?</p>
<p>
<b>Death:</b> Died October 18th 1931 from diabetes.</p>
<p>
<b>Quote:</b> &#8220;Anything that won&#8217;t sell, I don&#8217;t want to invent. Its sale is proof of utility, and utility is success.&#8221;</p>

<p>
<b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;Whoah.&#8221;</p>
<p>

<b>James Cameron</b> (BloodLark)</p>
<div id="attachment_13210" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/James-Cameron.jpg" alt="" title="James-Cameron" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13210" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ETalk2008-James_Cameron.jpg'>ETalk2008-James Cameron</a>. <a href='http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en'>CC-BY license</a>.</p></div>
<p><b>Notable Contribution:</b> Cameron made the two highest grossing films of all time. His touch is movie gold. He also made <em>Terminator</em>, <em>Rambo 2</em>, <em>Aliens</em>, <em>The Abyss</em>, <em>Terminator 2</em>, <em>True Lies</em>, <em>Titanic</em>, and <em>Avatar</em>. Dear god this man has made so many sweet films. He is known for his temper and is notoriously difficult to work under.</p>
<p>
<b>Questions:</b> Why are all his highest grossing films the worst written?</p>
<p>
<b>Death:</b> Not there yet.</p>
<p>
<b>Quote:</b> &#8220;People call me a perfectionist, but I’m not. I am a rightest. I do something until it is right, and then I move on to the next thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<b>Elrond</b> (Newbs)</p>

New Line Cinema.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Elrond is the Lord of Rivendell, a position which puts him into a class of &#8220;mighty rulers of old that remained in Middle-earth in its Third Age&#8221; according to Wikipedia. He&#8217;s also over 6000 years old.</p>
<p>
Elrond has seen some shit. He attended the Siege of Barad-dûr where Sauron was defeated and the One Ring was walked away with, much to his annoyance.</p>
<p>
<b>Special moves:</b> Chillin&#8217; with Bilbo.</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>

<p><b>Notable Contribution:</b> Being a kick ass actor in movies like <em>The Score</em>, <em>Fight Club</em>, <em>American History X</em>, and <em>The Illusionist</em>. While he has been nominated for several awards for his acting he has never won an Oscar. Norton has been interested in acting from a very young age. He is willing to put in a lot of effort for a role; he put on 30lb of muscle for <em>American History X</em>.</p>
<p>
<b>Questions:</b> How long did it take you to figure out his character in <em>The Score</em>?</p>
<p>
<b>Death:</b> No death.</p>
<p>
<b>Quote:</b> &#8220;Fame is very corrosive and you have to guard strictly against it.&#8221;</p>

<b>Charlie Sheen</b> (MerrGe)</p>
<div id="attachment_13205" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Charlie-Sheen.jpg" alt="" title="Charlie-Sheen" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13205" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image:<a href='http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CharlieSheenMarch2009.jpg'>CharlieSheenMarch2009</a>. <a href='http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en'>CC-BY-SA</a>.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Winning.</p>
<p>
<b>Memorable Quotes:</b> &#8220;I got tiger blood, man.&#8221; &#8220;I am on a drug. It&#8217;s called Charlie Sheen. It&#8217;s not available because if you try it, you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.&#8221; &#8220;I’m tired of pretending like I’m not special. I’m tired of pretending like I’m not bitchin’, a total freakin’ rock star from Mars.&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m bi-winning. I win here and I win there. Now what?&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;ve got poetry in my fingertips. Most of the time — and this includes naps — I&#8217;m an F-18, bro. And I will destroy you in the air. I will deploy my ordinance to the ground.&#8221; &#8220;That&#8217;s how I roll. And if it&#8217;s too gnarly for people, then buh-bye.&#8221; &#8220;I probably took more drugs than anyone could survive. I was banging seven-gram rocks, because that&#8217;s how I roll. I have one speed, I have one gear: Go.&#8221; &#8220;People are mystified by this odyssey that refuses to quit calling itself Charlie Sheen.&#8221; &#8220;I am battle-tested bayonets, bro.&#8221; &#8220;It’s just strafing runs in my underwear before my first cup of coffee, because I don’t have time for these clowns.&#8221; &#8220;I have a disease? Bullshit. I cured it with my brain.&#8221;</p>

<p>
<b>Bumblebee</b> (Weskimo)</p>
<div id="attachment_13204" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Bumblebee.jpg" alt="" title="Bumblebee" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13204" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Bumblebee. Hasbro.</p></div>
<p>After the Decepticons all but took over Cybertron and the Autobots were down to resistance movement-type fighting, Bumblebee was among the first team of Autobots sent to Earth to secure a source of Energon. Standing 15 feet tall and weighing in at innumerable tons of space-metal car, this yellow robot can freaking rock the house.</p>
<p>
Many of the Transformers transform into some extreme forms of overcompensating cock-waving. But not Bumblebee. He doesn&#8217;t need to be a fighter jet, a semi-truck, a tank, or a fucking dinosaur. This guy is a goddamn yellow Volkswagon Beetle. This is one Transformer who is comfortable with what he&#8217;s got &#8216;under the hood&#8217;.</p>
<p>
Fiercely loyal and brave almost to a fault, Bumblebee continually throws himself into the fray to help his friends. He is often commissioned to play a messenger or scout role because of his relatively small size (as far as alien robots go) but you never see him running from a fight. Bumblebee&#8217;s tactics and sheer nerve have carried the Autobot forces to victory time and time again.</p>

<b>Christina Hendricks</b> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13206" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Christina-Hendricks.jpg" alt="" title="Christina-Hendricks" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13206" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: <a href='http://www.flickr.com/photos/ravenu/47893931/'>Christina Hendricks @ Serenity Premiere</a>. <a href='http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/deed.en_CA'>CC-BY</a>.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Christina Hendricks is a famed female actor of the modern era. Her best known TV appearance is as Joan Holloway in the hit drama <em>Mad Men</em>. She also played the character Saffron in two episodes of <em>Firefly</em> which rank as some of the hottest in television history.</p>
<p>
<b>Special moves:</b> Taking over the internet every time she is photographed.</p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;Titties.&#8221; &#8211; Newbs</p>

<p>
<b>Mons&#8217;s Goblin Raiders</b> (Weskimo)</p>
<div id="attachment_13214" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Monss-Goblin-Raiders.jpg" alt="" title="Monss-Goblin-Raiders" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13214" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Wizards of the Coast.</p></div>
<p>4th Edition Magic the Gathering had no rival for the strength of the goblins. Often found hanging around with their orc cousins (remember orcs?), goblins were the backbone of any red deck, and Mons&#8217;s Goblin Raiders were the path to victory.</p>
<p>
The fury of the goblins could not be contained by any army. There were just too many of them, and they all used goblin war drums to distract your defenders. Players the world over still wake up in cold sweats and stale fear, remembering the quaking terror they felt as they were crushed by wave after wave of 1/1 goblins.</p>

<p><b>Description:</b> Hard Gay is a tight bodied Japanese man of impressive stature. His quest is noble: to perform acts of charity. This sometimes (always) leads to awkward situations as Hard Gay&#8217;s mission for social improvement also includes his black PVC fetish getup.</p>
<p>
<b>Special moves:</b> Pelvic thrusting along to the sweet rhythm of Ricky Martin&#8217;s &#8220;Livin&#8217; la Vida Loca.&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Description:</b> Polk was the eleventh President of the United States and he had big brass balls the size of honeydew melons as evidenced by the fact that he survived gallstone surgery at age seventeen with nothing but a little brandy as anesthetic.</p>
<p>
As president, Polk was ballsy enough to threaten war with England until they agreed to split the Oregon territory. Polk then annexed Texas ignoring threats from Mexico which led to the Mexican-American war and the acquisition of  the California territory.</p>
<p>
It is definitely un-pc to glorify a bloodthirsty expansionist but without him Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Louisiana would be the western border of America.  </p>

<p>
<b>Q</b> (BloodLark)</p>
<div id="attachment_13124" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Q.jpg" alt="" title="Q" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13124" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: CBS Paramount.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Introduced in the very first episode, &#8220;Encounter at Farpoint,&#8221; Q is an immortal and omnipotent alien from the race that makes up the Q Continuum.</p>
<p>
He is the driving force behind the main story arch of <i>Star Trek Next Generation</i>. His humour and mischief brought about some of the most comical and memorable moments across three difference series of <i>Star Trek</i>. He once gave Riker the power of a Q and romantically pursued Janeway in <i>Voyager</i>.</p>
<p>
<b>Questions:</b> What exactly is a Q?</p>
<p>
<b>Death:</b> None, he’s immortal.</p>
<p>
<b>Quote:</b> &#8220;He&#8217;s devious and amoral and unreliable and irresponsible and&#8230; and definitely not to be trusted.&#8221; Captain Jean-Luc Picard</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<b>George Washington</b> (badjokebob)</p>
<div id="attachment_13123" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/George-Washington.jpg" alt="" title="George-Washington" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13123" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Public domain.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Born in Virginia in 1732 he soon grew to a towering six foot two giant of a man in the day when five foot nine was considered tall. He survived a life and death struggle with the smallpox virus at age nineteen and went on to fight the French in the French and Indian war at the age of Twenty-two. During this time he learned the arts of war, leadership, bravery and persistence.</p>
<p>
In 1775 he was appointed commander in chief of the continental army. He took the position knowing that the revolution was almost certainly doomed to failure and failure would mean disaster for him and his family. Washington lost many battles against the larger and better trained and equipped British army yet never surrendered and kept his army in the field until final victory in 1783. He then did the unthinkable by refusing the offered crown as George the First of America.</p>
<p>
As the father of a country his cock must be totally awesome.</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<b>Barney Stinson</b> (Weskimo)</p>
<div id="attachment_13125" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Barney-Stinson.jpg" alt="" title="Barney-Stinson" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13125" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: CBS.</p></div>
<p>What can you really say about Barney Stinson? He&#8217;s everything a man should be. He drinks every day, he sleeps three hours every night, and he has multiple sex partners. He&#8217;s doing everything right! Barney lives his life by the oldest and most sacred Code of all: The Bro Code. A strict Code dedicated to helping out other bros through thick and thin&#8230;unless, you know, he has got something going on at the time. The other bro can probably handle it.</p>
<p>
Barney is famous for his mysterious corporate job, his totally awesome suits, and his almost inhuman skill at laser tag. But perhaps his most colossal accomplishment is the creation of &#8220;The Playbook&#8221;, a book where he has documented all of the &#8220;Plays&#8221; that bros can use pick up chicks. Some of the gems of this text include the &#8220;He&#8217;s Not Coming,&#8221; the &#8220;Ted Mosby,&#8221; and the incredibly involved &#8220;Scubadiver. &#8221; Did you know he also doesn&#8217;t get sick? That&#8217;s right.  Whenever he starts to feel sick, he just stops being sick and is awesome instead. True story.</p>
<p>
<b>Famous Lines:</b> &#8220;Legen-wait for it&#8230;DARY!,&#8221; &#8220;Challenge accepted!,&#8221; &#8220;Haaaaaaaave you met Ted?,&#8221; &#8220;What UP!&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>Battle Cry:</b> &#8220;Suit up!&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>Special Moves:</b> Suiting up. Being awesome. Having had more than 200 sexual partners. High fives.</p>
<p>

<p>
<b>Chewbacca a.k.a. &#8220;Chewie&#8221;</b> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13122" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Chewbacca.jpg" alt="" title="Chewbacca" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13122" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Lucasfilm.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Chewbacca is the heroic co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon. His travels with infamous smuggler, Han Solo are the stuff of hairy legend. Chewie&#8217;s role in the Rebel Alliance was pivotal against the Empire. His achievements during that time include carrying C-3P0 around on his back, grunting, and commandeering an AT-ST walker.</p>
<p>
<b>Special moves:</b> Violently spinning in <i>Super Return of the Jedi</i>.</p>

<b>Merfolk of the Pearl Trident</b> (Weskimo)</p>
<div id="attachment_13136" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Merfolk-of-the-Pearl-Trident.jpg" alt="" title="Merfolk-of-the-Pearl-Trident" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13136" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Wizards of the Coast.</p></div>
<p>These aquatic warriors are the key to the success of any blue creature attack, flapping their fins around, waving their pointy weapons, and costing one blue mana all over the place. Don&#8217;t mess with these guys. Seriously. They&#8217;ll stick you.</p>
<p>
Back in 1995, these guys were one of blue&#8217;s most reliable creatures. They didn&#8217;t bounce back to your hand when they actually do something, and they can attack your opponent without having to repeatedly mutate his lands into islands. These guys were the real trident-head of the assault.</p>
<p>
What Others Are Saying: &#8220;Are merfolk humans with fins, or are humans merfolk with feet?&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>Special Moves:</b> Costing 1 blue mana. Tridenting things. </p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<b>Princess Leia</b> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13135" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Leia.jpg" alt="" title="Leia" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13135" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Lucasfilm.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Princess Leia was instrumental in the fall of the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. She was responsible for transferring to R2-D2 the Death Star plans, allowing the rebels to exploit a weakness found within those details. Unlike her ugly-ass brother, who was raised by moisture farmers, Leia was adopted by royalty because she was blatantly the superior of the two.</p>
<p>
<b>Special moves:</b> Kissing her brother.</p>
<p>
<b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;Someone get this big walking carpet out of my way!&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;I know.&#8221; &#8211; Han Solo</p>
<p>

<p>
<b>Arwen</b> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13134" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Arwen.jpg" alt="" title="Arwen" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13134" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: New Line Cinema.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Arwen is the youngest, and hottest, daughter of Elrond, Lord of Rivendell. Some claim that she has the magical ability to summon a river to do her bidding and use it to sweep away nothing less than a rampaging team of Black Riders.</p>
<p>
Less controversially, she wound up marrying the king of men at some point, and managed to live to be 2901 years of age.</p>

<p>
<b>Description:</b> The child of Thetis the nymph and Peleus King of the Myrmidons.</p>
<p>
Achilles is the main character in the <i>Iliad</i>. Being a great warrior, he played an important role in the battle of Troy. Achilles also pissed off Apollo by defacing his temple. His legend lives on today in the idiom &#8220;Achilles Heel.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>Questions:</b> Why didn’t his momma double dip?</p>
<p>
<b>Death:</b> Killed by an arrow in the heel that was shot by Paris. </p>
<p>
<b>Quote:</b><br />
Sing, goddess, of Achilles ruinous anger<br />
Which brought ten thousand pains to the Achaeans,<br />
And cast the souls of many stalwart heroes<br />
To Hades, and their bodies to the dogs<br />
And birds of prey</p>

<p>
<b>Nikola Tesla</b> (BloodLark)</p>
<div id="attachment_13142" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Tesla.jpg" alt="" title="Tesla" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13142" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Public domain.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> It is thought that Tesla had synaesthesia. He also had the astonishing ability to fully mentally build any of his inventions. He would never commit anything to paper before he had fully examined and proved a concept in his own mind. Tesla and Edison were adversaries since Tesla promoted AC and Edison was promoting DC. Tesla patented designs for AC motors, and things like a primitive radar device. Some of the ideas he worked on were a &#8220;death ray,&#8221; the wireless transmission of electricity, and energy shields. Tesla was definitely a man who could see well beyond the scope of his time.</p>
<p>
<b>Questions:</b> What could Tesla have done if he had access to our level of technology?</p>
<p>
<b>Death:</b> Died of heart failure in 1943</p>
<p>
<b>Quote:</b> &#8220;I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success&#8230; Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.&#8221;</p>

<b>George Lucas</b> (MerrGe)</p>
<div id="attachment_13141" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/George-Lucas.jpg" alt="" title="George-Lucas" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13141" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: <a href='http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_Lucas_cropped_2009.jpg'>Wikimedia.</a> <a href='http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/deed.en'>CC-BY-SA.</a></p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> George Lucas is an American producer, screenwriter, director and billionaire. He has been nominated for numerous Academy Awards and has won several life time achievement awards. He has donated millions to charities and has been credited on such movies as <i>American Graffiti</i>, <i>Indiana Jones</i>, <i>The Land Before Time</i> (yeah, the dinosaur one), and <i>Labyrinth</i>. Not enough for you? Well how about this:</p>
<p>
<b>THIS MAN CREATED <i>STAR WARS</i></b>. The movie series that revolutionized special effects, pop culture and the entire sci fi genre. The movie series that gave birth to some of the most badass characters in movie history (the man invented Darth Vader for cryin’ out loud!). The movie series that gave us some of the most awesome and recognizable sound tracks in history (did someone say Imperial March?). The movie series that gave us The Force, lighsabers, Death Stars, and The Dark Side. The movie series that brought science fiction back to the mainstream, and revitalized the entire genre to pave the way for all the other recent science fiction movies and tv series that probably would of never seen the light of day without it. And I&#8217;m sure that everyone who saw these movies when they were young remembers watching them for the first time. So lets show a little appreciation for the man that made this all possible, shall we?</p>

<p>
<b>Jack Sparrow</b> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13150" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Jack-Sparrow.jpg" alt="" title="Jack-Sparrow" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13150" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Walt Disney.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Jack Sparrow is the grooviest pirate to ever sail the high seas of confusing plot twists and irrelevant battles. His charm and wit have propelled him into the league of super-star womanizers. Over his impressive pirating career, Sparrow has managed to rack up a 10,001 guinea bounty and membership in the exclusive Brethren Court. Sparrow&#8217;s fighting style has lead even Wikipedia to note that his weaponry consists of &#8220;anything conceivable.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>Battle cry:</b> Savvy?</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<b>The Pikmin</b> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13151" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Pikmin.jpg" alt="" title="Pikmin" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13151" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Nintendo.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Pikmin are small, plant-like creatures which live among the other small things of the world. Pikmin live in flying onions which also protect them from night-time dangers. When organized, Pikmin are capable of complex archaeological and construction jobs. Depending upon the specific race, Pikmin are capable of many different tasks. Some can carry bomb rocks, others can survive in water, some are capable of great strength, and some are even poisonous.</p>
<p>
Pikmin come highly recommended as support staff following a spaceship crash.</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<b>Trix Rabbit</b> (Weskimo)</p>
<div id="attachment_13152" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Trix.jpg" alt="" title="Trix" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13152" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: General Mills.</p></div>
<p>The tricksiest rabbit of them all, the Trix Rabbit hops circles around each and every box of Trix, just waiting for some poor kid to look away from his bowl of delicious fruity cereal for a couple of seconds. This dastardly bunny disguises himself with every manner of G-rated deceit imaginable in constant attempts to confuse and confound children aged 5-12. He even went so far as to place a fake mail-in plebiscite on boxes of cereal to trick kids into voting &#8220;yes&#8221; to allow the rabbit to eat Trix. </p>
<p>
General Mills, confused by this, but sure that it must have been authorized somewhere along the corporate conga line of decision making, awarded the incredibly clumsy rabbit with a bowl of cereal. It turns out that Trix tastes like fruity victory.</p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!&#8221;</p>
<p>
<center><img src="http://www.shufflingdead.com/spacer.jpg"></center></p>
<p>
<b>Captain Falcon</b> (Newbs)</p>
<div id="attachment_13149" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Captain-Falcon.jpg" alt="" title="Captain-Falcon" width="200" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-13149" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Nintendo.</p></div>
<p><b>Description:</b> Falcon leads a double life as a bounty hunter and accomplished futuristic racer. His skin-tight blue uniform reveals a carefully sculpted raw and masculine muscle structure, with his nipples alone being the stuff of legend.</p>
<p>
As a bounty hunter, the captain is as deadly off the tracks as he is on. His Falcon kicks and Falcon punches are understood by participants in fighting tournaments to be of special destructive power.</p>
<p>
<b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;Show me your moves!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_12999" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><img src="http://shufflingdead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Yoda.jpg" alt="" title="Yoda" width="550" height="305" class="size-full wp-image-12999" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image: Star Wars Attack of the Clones.

<p>
Five years ago, I declared Cock Wars open for stupidity with the intention of running it annually for six years (based only on the fact that there are six proper <i>Star Wars</i> films with titles for me to parody). Well, we&#8217;re nearly there.</p>
<p>
This is the very last year that you have to let your voices heard in the profound War of the Dicks. Post your nominations for contestants in the comments section below. Remember: no repeats from previous years allowed, and volunteering to write the description for your nomination greatly raises the chances of your competitor being accepted into the actual competition.</p>
<p>
The first Cock Wars 2011 &#8220;polls&#8221; will open Thursday, March 31, 2011, and will run for exactly one week. This will go on every Thursday for a total of six weeks, when a champion will be declared.</p>
<p>
That&#8217;s not all for Cock Wars this year, however, as Return of the Johnson will immediately be followed by Cock Wars: The Blown Wars. This will be a faster, 16-entrant competition featuring previous Cock Wars champions, near-champions, and disqualified candidates. After two weeks of this, an overall god will be declared, and I will at long last be freed of this childish distraction.</p>
<p>
For the less familiar Cock Warriors, please read the FAQ which follows.</p>
<p>
<span id="more-12995"></span><br />
<b>What is Cock Wars?</b></p>
<p>
Cock Wars is the ultimate battle for supremacy in the universe. Competitors use their strength of dong to claim superiority over others.</p>
<p>
<b>How does it work?</b></p>
<p>
I will post the polls on the front page of ShufflingDead, you vote for who you think is the most awesome in each, the winner moves on to the next round. Polls will run for a full week, and, until the final, four will be posted at a time.</p>
<p>
<b>How do I vote?</b></p>
<p>
Polls will be run here on the front page of ShufflingDead. Anyone can vote, provided he or she has the coordination to select a contestant in each poll.</p>
<p>
<b>Who is eligible for Cock Wars 2011?</b></p>
<p>
Basically any real person, fictional character, organization, or entity ever is a viable contestant. Historical figures, real or fake company mascots, real or fake companies, movie characters, comic book characters, book characters, TV show hosts, video game characters, etc. Anyone or anything you can think of! Repeats from Cock Wars 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 are NOT allowed.</p>
<p>
Get your nominations in now by posting them in the comments section below. I’m far more likely to accept your nominations if you simultaneously volunteer to write those nominees&#8217; descriptions.</p>
<p>
<b>How many contestants will there be?</b></p>
<p>
64 contestants, with four entrants per poll.</p>
<p>
<b>How long will it last?</b></p>
<p>
Less than two months!</p>
<p>
<b>When does it start?</b></p>
<p>
The first four polls will open Thursday, March 31, 2011. Those polls will be closed the following Monday, when four new polls will open.</p>
<p>
<b>Will there be character descriptions this year?</b></p>
<p>
I personally despise writing the character descriptions, but we&#8217;ve had a lot of fun over the last couple years with volunteers handling the bulk of write-ups. My hope is to have user-submitted descriptions become the norm, so if you’d like to volunteer and make my dream a reality, let me know along with your nominations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cock Wars 2010: The Dong Strikes Back began humbly, with an extended period of nominating which ultimately led to 64 noble contestants. From there, battlers entered in groups of four, and were eliminated three at a time. Noble warriors like Worf, Miyamoto, and Osaka were knocked out in the first round.</p>
<p>
<span id="more-7633"></span><br />
As the first round came to a close, it seemed this would truly be <i>Stargate</i>&#8216;s year. Jack O’Neill, Daniel Jackson, Rodney McKay, and Teal’c all moved on to the second round. </p>
<p>
The quadrant championships were hard fought, and what was sixteen became four. Greats like Sulu and Bourne were knocked out by the likes of Jack O&#8217;Neill, Megatron, V, and Rodney McKay.</p>
<p>
The final battle lasted a week, with an initial round of voting resulting in an inconclusive tie between Rodney McKay and V. Those two moved on to a single day run-off in which the most loyal of voters registered their allegiances. In the end, McKay took the poll by a single vote, and became the 2010 Cock Wars Champion.</p>

<p><b>Jason Bourne</b> &#8211; description by Weskimo</p>
<p>
Super soldier, super spy, and government-owned and operated assassin, Jason Bourne is one of the world&#8217;s most dangerous men.  With aliases around the world, he can move and blend anywhere, anytime.  He is highly trained in combat, be it hand-to-hand, firearms, or even explosives.  After shaking off his government assassin conditioning, he was hunted savagely by the organization he used to work for unquestioningly. But despite all of their resources and several more &#8220;assets&#8221; like Bourne, they couldn&#8217;t take him out, he left them all in the dust, bashing their heads against the wall in frustration.  Through masterful evasion, surveillance, combat, and a few intense car chases, Bourne defeated entire government agencies, and still had time to stop and pick up the girl on the way.  </p>
<p>
<b>Special moves:</b> Handing out beatdowns with choppy camera angles.</p>

<hr width="75%">
<span id="more-7324"></span></p>
<p><b>Kirby</b></p>
<p>
Eight inches of pure pink puff, Kirby is a stubby, rotund eating leviathan. He hails from the land called Dream, and can absorb the powers of his enemies to exploit their abilities.</p>
<p>
Kirby has gone on numerous adventures, traveling lands far and wide to vanquish evil and end tyranny. He once took down the arrogant King Dedede, who had taken over Dream Land and stolen the food of its residents.</p>
<p>
Kirby&#8217;s abilities are limitless, thanks to his power-stealing suck maneuver. He&#8217;s been known to transform into everything from a revved-up wheel to Link, the hero of time himself.</p>
<p><br clear="all"></p>
<hr width="75%">
<p><b>Bellatrix Lestrange</b> &#8211; description by Weskimo</p>
<p>
Bellatrix is the Dark Lord Voldemort&#8217;s best and most powerful lieutenant.  Ruthless in her pursuit of the Dark Lord&#8217;s favor, she endeavors to please him in any way possible, using her obvious sociopathic tendencies to inflict as much pain as possible, upon whoever possible.  An extraordinarily skilled witch, she has had many successful encounters with the Order of the Phoenix, her most famous accomplishments being the torturing of Frank and Alice Longbottom into permanent insensibility and the murder of Sirius Black.  She is not like some of the other wizards in Voldemort&#8217;s army, who view Muggles and Muggle-born wizards as beneath their notice.  They might shrug off a Muggle&#8217;s presence, or swat it away uncaringly.  Bellatrix takes cruel delight in causing pain, and is definitely the type to play with her food before she kills and eats it.</p>
<p>
<b>Special move:</b> Laughing maniacally.</p>
<p>
<b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;I killed Sirius Black! I killed Sirius Black!&#8221;</p>

<hr width="75%">
<p><b>Slippy Toad</b> &#8211; description by Weskimo</p>
<p>
Slippy is a member of the StarFox mercenary squadron.  Despite his high frequency of needing to be rescued by the more serious members of his team, Slippy is a highly valued member for his light-heartedness and general happy-go-lucky, come-what-may nature, not to mention his spectacular mechanical skills.  Ladies, let me lay it out for you: He&#8217;s a highly paid mercenary.  He&#8217;s a pilot.  He can fix your car. And he&#8217;s got one hell of a tongue.  What else could you ask for?</p>
<p>
<b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;Fox, get this guy off me!&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;Slippy, get back here!&#8221; &#8211; Peppy</p>
<p><br clear="all"></p>
<hr width="75%">
<p><b>President Dr. Gaius Baltar</b></p>
<p>
Gaius Baltar began the Second Cylon War on decidedly the wrong foot. He discovered that his lover was a Cylon spy, and that in working with her on the defense systems of the Twelve Colonies, he had actually given up the security of the human race, risking its very survival. Baltar followed up his genocide of humanity by sleezing his way aboard the Battlestar Galactica and doing everything possible to ensure his own comfort.</p>
<p>
Over the course of the war, Baltar transformed himself from selfish bastard to caring leader and man of the people. Gaius became the elected President of the Twelve Colonies, and led his people to the comforts of New Caprica. It was during his presidency that the good doctor also banged his way through just about every remaining attractive woman the human species had left. Baltar concluded the war as leader of a monotheistic cult in which he re-banged all the best ladies.</p>

<p><b>Alan Garner</b> &#8211; description by jen</p>
<p>
Alan Garner is a fictional character from the movie <i>The Hangover</i>. In the movie, Alan is a groomsman for his soon to be brother in law, Doug. Together with Doug’s two other groomsman, they head down to Las Vegas for a fun filled bachelor party the night before the wedding. The next morning, the three groomsmen wake up, with no memory of the previous night, and soon realise that Doug is missing. The suite is in severe disorder, a tiger is in the bathroom, a baby is in the closet, one of the groomsman is missing a tooth and has an ATM receipt for $800 from The Bellagio, one of the suite&#8217;s mattresses is impaled on a statue outside, the other groomsman is wearing a hospital bracelet, and a valet brings them a stolen police cruiser they dropped off the night before. Oh, and theres a fucking chicken walking around. At any rate, Alan proves that though he may be slightly socially inept, and a bit of a &#8220;ruh-tard,&#8221;  he means well. Really, anyone who survives an encounter with a full grown tiger, a crazy naked Chinese guy, and a taser, well his cock must be large enough.</p>
<p>
<b>Famous lines:</b><br />
&#8220;You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack&#8230; it grew by one. So there&#8230; there were two of us in the wolf pack&#8230; I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, &#8220;Wait a second, could it be?&#8221; And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast!&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>Battle cry:</b><br />
Hey you guys ready to let the dogs out?<br />
Ha ha! Drivin&#8217; drunk. Classic.</p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b><br />
“Would you please put some pants on? I feel wierd having to ask you twice.”<br />
Not you, fat Jesus<br />
Don&#8217;t let Alan drive, because there&#8217;s something wrong with him.</p>
<p>
<b>Special move:</b> Finding bad ecstasy.</p>

<p><b>Kakashi Sensei</b> &#8211; description by BloodLark</p>
<p>
Being a mysterious man, only the ramen man and girl get to glimpse his awesome visage. Kakashi Sensei has had a rough life, when Sasuke said he hoped that Kakashi would lose all those he cared about he just answered that they were all dead already.</p>
<p>
A laid back kind of guy he is often late. This is because he is too absorbed in the newest Make Out novel, for those who don’t know it’s an erotic book series. Once Naruto even used Kakashi’s love of this series against him by threatening to ruin the ending of the newest novel.</p>
<p>
Being a powerful S class ninja, Kakashi has many skills and abilities. He is known as the &#8220;Copycat Ninja&#8221; for his sharingun ability to mimic any move. He has his own special technique of Chiordi. It’s basically a lightning blade on his hand that sounds like a bunch of birds chirping.</p>
<p>
He is a badass, a perv, and totally dedicated to his team.</p>

<hr width="75%">
<p><b>Terrans</b> &#8211; description by MerrGe</p>
<p>
The Terrans are the human faction in <i>Starcraft</i>. They are physically similar to humans of the twenty-first century, but are slowly evolving into a psionically potent race, although they are still generations from reaching their full potential. The genetic basis was brought from Earth during the &#8220;Long Sleep.&#8221; At present, only a small number possess psionic powers. The terrans of the Koprulu Sector descend from the survivors of a 23rd century colonization mission from Earth that was made up of convicts and other &#8220;expendables.&#8221; Compared to the Protoss and Zerg, the Terrans are highly factionalized and endure frequent wars amongst themselves in addition to the more recent conflicts with their alien neighbors. Just like the humans of today, they are constantly fighting and backstabbing, but can still unite in the face of a common enemy. They then go back to fighting each other. </p>
<p>
The Terrans have greatly advanced their technology since the 21st century. The descendants of the Long Sleep have the ability to create space stations, memory modification, teleportation technology, embark on faster than light travel and communication holograms. They also tend to attatch jet engines to important buildings so they can fly away if need be. Terrans have access to artificial intelligence that is widespread in use and is reasonably sophisticated, at least in software. Terrans have developed advanced weapons of war, such as giant space battlecruisers, siege tanks, nuclear weapons, Ion Cannons, and cloaking devices. Militarily, Terrans have developed the ability to quickly repair their vehicles and structures in the field. The key in terran warfare is their flexibility, which they use to outmaneuver and annialate all that oppose them. </p>

<p>
<b>Battle cry:</b> Gimme something to shoot! </p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b><br />
&#8220;Nuclear launch detected.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Your brain&#8230; it is somewhat limited.&#8221; &#8211; Zamara commenting on terran mental prowess.<br />
&#8220;We could not unite under one banner or even form a coalition. In fact, every time there was a chance for that, one faction or another did something to enhance the advancement of their own political agenda over the other factions. Often at the expense of the rest of humanity.&#8221; &#8211; Michael Liberty</p>
<p>
<b>Special move:</b> &#8220;Nuclear missile ready.&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Captain Montgomery &#8220;Scotty&#8221; Scott</b></p>
<p>
Montgomery Scott was born in Linlithgow, Scotland in 2222. From those humble beginnings, Scotty would rise through the ranks of Starfleet, serving as Chief Engineer of the USS Enterprise for many years. His time there was spent repeatedly saving his Captain&#8217;s ass, one James Tiberius Kirk. As such, Scotty played an indispensable role in the historic five year mission of the Enterprise, and the development of the United Federation of Planets.</p>
<p>
Scotty stored himself in a transporter buffer as a means of staying alive in an accident during his retirement. Thanks to this last great example of technical wizardry, Scott was able to live into the 24th century, and meet Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise-D.</p>
<p>

<p><b>V</b> &#8211; description by Psycho_Limey</p>
<p>
Vacant is the visage of this vapid population. Our vagility only vainglory in our vallation of this velitation that is today.</p>
<p>
V stands, valiantly, a vedette against those virulent vermin, so vicious in their vapulatory victimization of society.</p>
<p>
Our V, a vaudevillian veteran, by his own voice the vestige of the vox pupuli, vanquishes the voracious venerer of our freedom. Valorous this vafrous vadelect of we the vulgus volunteers  vulnerary to our vexating and virose society.</p>
<p>
Voilà! V stands victorious not vanished as our volition. Violently this visitation concludes, V stands vivified, vowing his verticity against the vicissitudes of fate.</p>
<p>
In short, VOTE.</p>

<hr width="75%">
<p><b>Zeus</b> &#8211; description by BloodLark</p>
<p>
Zeus is a god who cut open his father’s stomach to retrieve his siblings. He also had such a bad headache one day that he had his buddy Hephaestus split his head open. Interestingly, a fully developed Athena popped out. Being quite an amorous man he is infamous for his many sexual escapades, much to the fury of his wife Hera. He has only 30 or so bastards, some of the more famous mortals being Hercules, and Helen of Troy.</p>
<p>
Gifted with thunder and lightning bolts, Zeus was known to have quite the temper. He put one silly mortal on a burning wheel for eternity when he tried to rape Hera. No one messes with his woman but him, like when he hung her upside down in the sky for trying to kill Hercules.</p>
<p>
He did know how to reward those he liked, though. He gave one rather cunning man three times the life span for agreeing with him in saying men enjoy sex more than women.</p>
<p>
So in the words of a great man: &#8220;Zeus father of Apollo of Mount Olympus. Don’t fuck with me or I’ll shove a lightning bolt up your ass Zeus!&#8221;</p>
<p><br clear="all"></p>
<hr width="75%">
<p><b>Chad Kroeger</b> &#8211; description by jen</p>
<p>
You know who Chad Kroeger is. His name is synonymous with douche and bad Jesus-like hair. He is the lead singer, the face, of the Canadian band Nickelback, a shame which we all must face. &#8220;Few bands inspire such intense hatred as Nickelback&#8221; (USA today), and as their lead, Chad Kroeger has done much to prove that he is one of the biggest cocks in music today.</p>
<p>
<b>Famous lines:</b><br />
&#8220;I wrote this song when I was high on Magic Mushrooms&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I definitely consider myself a songwriter first because that&#8217;s my best attribute. I&#8217;ll never be the best guitar player. I can definitely make more of a mark with my song writing.&#8221; (ha)</p>
<p>
<b>Battle cry:</b> I am not a leader of men, since I prefer to follow.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b><br />
&#8220;Chad Kroeger named his band &#8220;Nickelback&#8221; after the hooker asked him for a refund.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Chad Kroeger qualified for sumo wrestling at the age of 14 because his head was filled with 500 lbs. of douche.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Nickelback are a gnarled, vulgar band reveling in their ignorance of the very notion of taste, lacking either the smarts or savvy to wallow in bad taste so they just get ugly, knocking out knuckle-dragging riffs that seem rarefied in comparison to their thick, boneheaded words&#8221; &#8211; Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic</p>
<p>
<b>Special moves:</b> Drunk Driving. Fighting with pickles on Facebook. Punching furniture salesmen, and getting sued for it. Breaking in and stealing from his junior high school. Getting into fights at bars and strip clubs. Seriously, the guy is working on a decent criminal record.</p>
<p><br clear="all"></p>
<hr width="75%">
<p><b>Andre the Giant</b> &#8211; description by sulci</p>
<p>When he first started training to become a wrestler in France as a teenager in the 60s, no one was brave enough to train with such a hulk of a man. At 7&#8243;4 (over 2.2 meters tall) and weighing around 500lbs, its sort of hard to blame anyone. </p>
<p>Hulk Hogan actually tore a back muscle slamming him in the WWF ring, and said Andre felt like he weight &#8220;more like 700lbs.&#8221; Andre was the first inductee into the WWF Hall of Fame.</p>
<p>He also had a career in acting, notably playing Fezzik in <em>the Princess Bride</em>.  Another notable achievement is unofficially being crowned &#8220;The Greatest Drunk on Earth&#8221; for once consuming 119 12-ounce beers in 6 hours.</p>
<p><strong>What <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_the_Giant#Personal_life">others</a> are saying:</strong> When André was in a bar one night, four men came up to him and began harassing him about his size. At first, André attempted to avoid confrontation, but eventually he proceeded to chase the hecklers until they locked themselves in their car. André then grabbed the car and turned it over with the four people trapped inside.</p>

<p><b>Teal&#8217;c</b> &#8211; description by Fiona</p>
<p>
Teal’c is an alien member of SG1 in the <i>Stargate</i> TV series. He is a Jaffa, which means he carries a larval Goa’uld symbiote in his stomach, the infant form of the &#8220;bad guys&#8221; in the show. The symbiote gives him a heightened immune system as well as increased strength. He lacks knowledge in Earth customs, but is very curious and highly humorous when he interprets things literally or the wrong way. Teal’c is pretty much the epitome of awesome; he’s brave, honourable, has a great sense of humour and can kick just about anybody’s ass.</p>
<p>
<b>Famous lines:</b><br />
&#8220;Indeed.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Things will not calm down DanielJackson. Things will in fact calm up.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Undomesticated equines could not remove me.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b><br />
&#8220;Teal’c’s like, the deepest person I know!&#8221; – Daniel Jackson<br />
&#8220;Way to go Junior!&#8221; – Jack O’Neill, about Teal’c’s symbiote whenever it saves him from something life-threatening</p>
<p>
<b>Special move:</b> Having a Goau’ld symbiote in his stomach. It makes him all strong and invincible and stuff.</p>

<p><b>Optimus Prime</b> &#8211; description by Weskimo</p>
<p>
Leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime leads from the front.  Any Autobot offensive is preceded by the gleaming grill of Prime&#8217;s semi-truck alternative form. Though generally kind-circuited and deeply respectful of all life, Optimus Prime is no slouch when it comes to dropping the hammer. A towering powerhouse, his might has been a constant barrier to Decepticon victory. As the Autobots and Decepticons battle each other across the galaxy, you will always find Prime in the thick of it, turning the tide with his plasma rifle and unwavering resolve.  Some might describe him as a reluctant warrior, but Optimus Prime is the posterchild for the phrase &#8220;Peace through Superior Firepower.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>Famous lines:</b><br />
&#8220;Now all we need is a little Energon, and a lot of luck&#8221;<br />
&#8220;As long as power flows through any of my circuits, Megatron, I&#8217;ll fight you.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>Special moves:</b> Running over Decepticons. Pissing off Megatron.</p>
<p><br clear="all"></p>
<hr width="75%">
<p><b>Counterspell</b> &#8211; description by Weskimo</p>
<p>
One of the most feared instruments of any blue wizard&#8217;s weaponry, Counterspell is the ultimate in negation.  A well-placed Counterspell can throw off the most carefully planned strategies, instantly turning the duel from certain defeat to shit-eating glee.  Counterspells make up the backbone of control decks and transform every battle from a mere game into an agonizing assault on your opponents dignity.</p>
<p>
<b>Battle Cry:</b> &#8220;Nope!&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;Sigh&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>Special moves:</b> Side effects may include feelings of inadequacy and impotence.</p>

<p><b>Captain Hikaru Sulu</b></p>
<p>
Hikaru Sulu served aboard the USS Enterprise as Helmsman with the rank of Lieutenant under James Tiberius Kirk during the ship&#8217;s historic five year mission. It was during this time that Sulu once, under the influence of an inhibition-stripping contagion, chased crew members around with a foil, shirtless.</p>
<p>
Sulu was eventually promoted and went on to captain the USS Excelsior. His bold command of the ship during the time of the Khitomer Conference prevented the assassination of the President of the United Federation of Planets by rogue Klingons, averting potential war.</p>
<p>
Sulu is known for having a unique, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ynb20P898k" target="_blank">slightly musical</a>, voice.</p>

<p>Cake is quite clearly one of the best food items in the entire world.  I feel like I have written everything that there is to be said about cake. To know it is to eat it. </p>
<p><strong>What others are saying:</strong> &#8220;I am not strict vegan, because I&#8217;m a hedonist pig. If I see a big chocolate cake that is made with eggs, I&#8217;ll have it.&#8221; Grace Slick </p>

<p><b>Hymn to Tourach</b> &#8211; description by Weskimo</p>
<p>
Two mana.  Two cards cards discarded.  Randomly.  Hard to argue with the reality of how powerful this single spell can be.  A player hit by a single Hymn to Tourach will find himself at an immediate disadvantage as the crippling effects of the spell cause him to lose his mind in impotent frustration.</p>

<p><b>Doctor Rodney McKay</b> &#8211; description by Fiona</p>
<p>
Doctor Meredith Rodney McKay is a brilliant scientist who joins the Atlantis expedition in the Stargate series’.  McKay is one of the foremost experts on the Stargate, and can solve just about any technical problem thrown at him. He is unbearably arrogant and condescending, which is always a problem exacerbated for everyone around him by the fact that he generally <i>is</i> right about everything. McKay’s endearing qualities are his seldom apparent insecurities with personal relationships and his loyalty to his teammates. However, he is sarcastic and extremely impatient with anyone he feels is &#8220;dumber&#8221; than him (i.e. everyone). Mckay’s biggest fear is children.</p>
<p>
<b>Famous lines:</b><br />
&#8220;Yes of course it worked. I’m already onto the next problem.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I’m sure I do [look crazy], but only because Dr. Fumbles McStupid over here was in WAY over his head!&#8221; – said about another of the scientists</p>

<p><b>Alucard</b> &#8211; description by MerrGe</p>
<p>
Alucard is pretty much the ultimate badass vampire. (a.k.a. The Anti-Cullen). An ancient vampire that is bound to the leader of the Hellsing Organization, Integra Hellsing. The Hellsing Organization is dedicated to hunting down vampires and other monsters. Basically, it&#8217;s Alucard&#8217;s job to be stronger and kick more ass than the things he hunts (which he does easily). He may work for the good guys, but being a vampire, he&#8217;s still sadistic psycho, and a self confessed monster who loves fighting, death, and blood. If someone or something gets in his way, he will kill it in a usually overly brutal manner and will love every second of it. He tends to look down on other vampires who slaughter innocents and considers such things beneath him. (He&#8217;s looking for a challenge, after all). His usual way of killing things is to shoot them with his pair of giant pistols, or to impale them with his hands. </p>
<p>
Over the course of his tenure with Hellsing, his powers have grown to make him near invincible, and include: the ability heal absolutely any wounds, even after being literally shot to pieces (he actually seems to enjoy doing this, I think he likes the looks on peoples faces). He doesn&#8217;t care about crosses, Holy Water, or decapitation &#8211; though he does worry slightly about silver bullets, as they take some time to regenerate from. He&#8217;s got psychic skills, like the famous third eye, as well as hypnosis. He can walk under the sun, but he hates it. He can fly, disappear at will, change into mist, bats, worms, shadows, blood stains, monstrous dogs, or horrible unknown beasts with hundreds eyes and tentacles. He also possesses superhuman strength and senses, as well as a snappy dress code. </p>
<p>
<b>Famous lines:</b><br />
&#8220;You are less than inhuman. A pitiful defect, a failed science project. Sending you to your maker would be an act of mercy. Your regeneration powers&#8217; impressive, but I bet if I put enough bullets into your skull you will stay down for good. So let&#8217;s cut to the chase. Start begging.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Resignation is what kills people. Once they&#8217;ve rejected resignation, humans gain the privilege of making humanity their footpath.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;You act more like a cockroach than a proper vampire. Left to your own devices you would cover the world in your filth. I can&#8217;t stand your kind. You don&#8217;t have the self-respect to be a vampire, you undead maggot. You barely even know what you are.&#8221; &#8211; Alucard&#8217;s opinion on Edward Cullen, uh, I mean artificial vampires. >_></p>

A lieutenant of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Lucius is one of the strongest dark wizards around.  Being of purely wizardly descent himself, he has a deep disdain for all those not born to the same status. Half-breeds and Muggle-born wizards, and even magical creatures like House Elves and Giants, are not worthy of respect, or even regard.  He is a skilled puppet-master, manipulating other wizards and even governments into seeing his point of view.  And when normal means of negotiation are exhausted, he makes his targets feel the end of his wand.  Yeah. THAT wand.</p>

With his team of expert pilots and robot mechanics, Star Fox contracts itself primarily to the Cornerian Army, Corneria being a friendly planet with very lacking military capabilities, and home to countless breeds of furries.  Corneria&#8217;s most serious threats are the forces of Andross, who desires to rule the furpiles of Corneria with his monkey faces.  Determined to save the innocents of Corneria from being denied their right to yiff in peace (for a fee, of course) Fox and crew sets off to defeat Andross.  Armed with state-of-the-art Arwing fighters, Landmaster tanks, and a sizable personal mothership, Fox McCloud is a force to be taken seriously&#8230; despite his questionable lifestyle choices.</p>

<p><b>Captain Hammer</b> &#8211; description by Fiona</p>
<p>
Captain Hammer is the “superhero” in Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog, making him Dr. Horrible’s arch nemesis. He antagonizes Dr. Horrible every chance he gets, taunting him, stealing his girl, and disrupting his plans of Horribleness at every turn (usually by accident&#8230; he’s pretty, but not all that bright).</p>
<p>
Captain Hammer is a narcissistic douche who is used to getting what he wants because his fans are constantly fawning all over him. He steals Penny away from Dr. Horrible by helping her open a homeless shelter called Caring Hands, and then in his opening speech makes it clear that he has nothing but disdain for the homeless, and was only looking to score with Penny (which he did). The final fight scene has Hammer attempting to kill Horrible with his own Death Ray, but it explodes instead, hurting Hammer, probably for the first time in his life. He runs off crying.</p>
<p>
<b>Famous lines:</b><br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m gonna give Penny the night of her life, just because you want her. And I get what you want. See, Penny&#8217;s giving it up, she&#8217;s giving it up hard. Cause she&#8217;s with Captain Hammer. And these&#8230; [holds up his fists]&#8230; are not the hammer. [Walks out, then back in again.] The hammer is my penis.&#8221;<br />

Badass incarnate.  Marcus Fenix is the leader of the Delta Squad of the COG Army. His cynical attitude has not won him many friends with high command, but his unmatched skill in battle and the effectiveness of his team is undeniable, and so he is thrown out as the COG&#8217;s &#8220;only hope&#8221; again and again. Though he might appear to be a hard and uncaring soldier, his dedication to the mission is above and beyond the call of regular duty.

<p><b>Tyranids</b> &#8211; description by MerrGe</p>
<p>
From the blackness beyond the edge of our galaxy they come, driven by  ravenous hunger that knows no end. These creatures have many names, for all races have come to loathe and fear them. They are the Great Devourer, the Doom of All Things, the Penance of the Elder Gods, the Shadow in the Warp. They are the Tyranids, and they have come to consume us all.</p>
<p>
The Tyranids are utterly alien. They are creatures of visceral horror, implacable monsters with dagger-like fangs and razor-sharp claws that can tear a man apart in the blink of an eye. Each one of the myriad of Tyranid warrior-creatures is a killing machine, perfectly adapted to slaughter its victims. They are the ultimate predators, and we are their prey.</p>
<p>
The Tyranids&#8217; numbers are beyond imagining, a swarm so vast that it blocks out the very stars. Yet this mighty host is bound by the implacable will of a single unfathomable intelligence, a gestalt sentience known only as the Hive Mind. Under the influence of this ancient consciousness, the Tyranids function in perfect unison, driven by an immortal hunger that has fed on entire  civilizations since time immemorial.</p>
<p>
The Tyranids do not communicate with other races, and why should they do so? They are as far above life forms such as Mankind is above the domesticated livestock it consumes. The Tyranids cannot be reasoned with, appeased, or surrendered to. There can be no hope of mercy from such a foe.</p>
<p>
To face the Tyranids is simply a matter of survival: “Kill or be consumed” -Tyranid Codex</p>

<p><b>Zerg</b> &#8211; Description by MerrGe</p>
<p>
The Zerg are a terrifying and ruthless amalgamation of biologically advanced, arthropodal aliens. Dedicated to the pursuit of genetic perfection, the Zerg relentlessly hunt down and assimilate advanced species across the galaxy, incorporating useful genetic code into their own, and exterminate any species that might corrupt the purity of the Zerg genome. Zerg do not use technology, instead they assimilate other species and use directed mutation to develop traits to match such technology. Even their equivalent of spaceships and tanks are organic creatures.</p>
<p>
They were created by the Xel&#8217;Naga and originally controlled by &#8220;The Overmind.&#8221; The Overmind eventually grew out of control and overthrew its creators and began to expand out into the galaxy, devouring all that stood in it&#8217;s path. The Zerg discovered the Protoss,and believing that the combination of Zerg and Protoss would create the perfect species, they set about devouring their worlds and nearly destroyed the Protoss&#8217; once mighty empire, eventually even overrunning the Protoss home world of Aiur.</p>
<p>

<p><b>Vash</b> &#8211; Description by MerrGe</p>
<p>
Vash is a very lighthearted, expert marksman that tries to promote love and peace. He lives on a desert world colonized by Earth that has many similarities to the wild west. It is a lawless world where the strong thrive and weak are trampled underfoot. Vash is know as Vash the Stampede and &#8220;The Human Typhoon&#8221; and is thought of as something of a natural disaster or &#8216;act of god&#8217; (at least for insurance purposes) because wherever he goes, disaster follows. This is typically due to no fault of his own and is usually caused be people trying to hunt him down for his $60,000,000,000 bounty.</p>
<p>
He refuses to kill and his body is covered in severe wounds that are the result of his nonlethal methods. Despite this he is an incredibly skilled gunman and his reflexes are good enough to dodge bullets. He masks his skill with feigned klutziness, stupidity, and ridiculously good luck.  Examples include &#8216;accidentally&#8217; dodging bullets by dancing, or just happening to be sitting in exactly the right spot to not be killed in some horrific manner like a hail of gunfire. Vash isn&#8217;t actually human and houses an incredible power that he can&#8217;t always control, and has several times destroyed cities (Hence the original bounty) and put a hole in the moon.</p>
<p>

My name is Vash the Stampede! Ladies and gentlemen forgive the lack of warning, but I&#8217;m afraid it&#8217;s time for my daily massacre. And if you don&#8217;t believe I&#8217;m the real thing take a long look at me and start freaking out!&#8221; (He yelled this at some town people to get them out of the town so the wouldn&#8217;t get hurt)</p>

<p>Worf is a Klingon who was adopted by humans and grew up in the Federation, his struggle to reconcile his human upbringing with his Klingon heritage has defined his life.</p>
<p>
He served aboard the USS Enterprise-D as the ship&#8217;s Security Chief for a number of years under the command of Starfleet&#8217;s greatest hero, Captain Jean-Luc Picard. During his time on the Enterprise, Worf would face many strong enemies, including the Borg, and that&#8217;s before they were pussified by <i>Voyager</i>. As the ship&#8217;s Security Chief, Worf often suggested conflict as a tactic of first resort.</p>
<p>
Worf later transferred to Deep Space 9 as a sort-of liaison to the Klingon Empire, and his service there led him into battle against swarms of some of the galaxy&#8217;s toughest foes. On one mission, Worf fought hand-to-hand against dozens of Jem&#8217;Hadar, a genetically engineered species made for war, in a row.</p>

Actor, screenwriter, director, comedian, and lovable bitter fat man, Kevin Smith is one of the world&#8217;s greatest embodiments of Awesome.  Listing his accomplishments and projects in full would take far too long, but this is the man responsible for <i>Clerks, Clerks 2,</i> and <i>Mallrats,</i> outstanding commentaries on life and nerd culture. He&#8217;s also the man to blame for <i>Chasing Amy,</i> where Ben fucking Afleck turns a lesbian girl straight.  Tell me that&#8217;s not reaching beyond the realms of normal creativity! Kevin Smith is a success, and has the hatemail to prove it. He received approximately 10,000 pieces of hatemail and 3 death threats regarding his movie <i>Dogma,</i> largely for making a reference to the virgin Mary and her husband &#8220;getting down&#8221; post-Jesus. Happy nerd fan base, pissed off Catholics, and enough money to keep his ass in two plane seats, this man has everything he needs to win Cock Wars. </p>

Daniel has an uncanny habit of coming back from the dead, having done so a number of times. He also has an alien girlfriend on just about every planet (&#8220;alien&#8221; meaning only that they aren’t from Earth. Trust me, they’re all pretty hot).

Loki is the crazy and mischievous brother of Odin. He is famous for shape-shifting and shenanigans. Theft never being below him, he’s stolen a goddess’ hair, and Freya’s beloved necklace. He even pissed a dwarf off enough to cause the dwarf to sew his mouth shut.</p>
<p>
Many of Loki’s children are linked with doom and destruction. Jormungand, the world snake, will cause the world to end when he lets go of his tail. His son Fenrir, father of all badass wolves, is predicted to try and kill Odin.</p>
<p>
Then there is Sleipnir, an 8 legged horse. Want to know the crazy thing? Loki gave birth to this one himself. Yes boys and girls he made himself a mare so he could get some of the horse cock. Loki is often open to cross-dressing and gender bending. He once was a bridesmaid to Thor’s bride.</p>
<p>
Loki, on one last note, definitely gets a Major Dick mention. He not only killed Balder, a god most loved, he will also play a major part in the world ending with giant burning doom. If only this god of mischief could learn to lighten up.</p>

<p><b>Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, a.k.a. Lady Gaga</b> &#8211; Description by jen</p>
<p>
Bursting on to the pop music scene a couple years ago, Lady Gaga has taken the world by storm with her singing talent, her crazy fashion sense and stage performances, and of course, those nasty stories that she has, or at one time had, a penis. Everything with Gaga is a spectacle designed to elicit the maximum reaction possible. It’s not a technique she pioneered, but it’s propelled her from an unremarkable-looking Upper West Side teenager with the ungainly name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, to an androgynous, mysterious, global pop icon named Lady Gaga (NY Times). Everything the woman does is ballsy, and as Entertainment Weekly describes, &#8220;whether it&#8217;s a dress made of Muppets or strategically placed bubbles, Gaga&#8217;s outré ensembles brought performance art into the mainstream.&#8221; Love her or hate her, her place in pop culture is solidified and she continues to prove that whatever penis she possessed, it must have been huge.</p>

<p><b>Angel</b> &#8211; Description by jen</p>
<p>
Angel is a vampire from the series <i>Buffy the Vampire,</i> played by David Boreanaz  who was hot enough to get his own show when the series eventually died. Admittedly, I never watched it, but according to Wikipedia the show details the ongoing trials of Angel, a vampire whose human soul was restored to him by gypsies as a punishment for the murder of one of their own. After more than a century of murder and the torture of innocents, Angel&#8217;s restored soul torments him with guilt and remorse. During the first four seasons of the show, he worked as a private detective in a fictionalized version of Los Angeles, California, where he and a variety of associates worked to &#8220;help the helpless&#8221; and restore the faith and save the souls of those who have lost their way. Typically, this involved doing battle with evil demons or demonically allied humans, primarily related to Wolfram &#038; Hart, a demonic law firm. He also had to battle his own demonic nature. Sounds like he has a big cock to me! Also, he fucked Buffy.</p>

Though he does make one rather disastrous attempt to expand his holiday horizons into Christmas, Jack&#8217;s true understanding is the element of Halloween, where he can really be himself.  Darkness, fear, undeath, these things are Jack&#8217;s passions.  Jack is an amazingly charismatic skeleton and possesses incredible single-mindedness and enthusiasm to go wherever his new ideas take him. </p>

Over his lifetime he has managed to make several working relationships with Human ladies of the Alliance, specifically <a href=http://www.wowwiki.com/Taretha_Foxton id=p_bi title="Taretha Foxton" target="_blank">Taretha Foxton</a> (some would describe this relationship more of a brother/sister relationship, but I say why stop there?) and <a href=http://www.wowwiki.com/Jaina_Proudmoore id=eelk title="Jaina Proudmoore" target="_blank">Jaina Proudmoore</a> (is it really all business??), which may indicate that although his outside appearance is rather green and gruff, his lady skills are top-notch.

<p><b>Set</b> &#8211; Description by BloodLark</p>
<p>
The Egyptian god Set was very good at pissing the other gods off. His arch enemy is Horus and he had more than one run in with Osiris. Set completely dismembered Osiris, and later, while fighting Horus, Set took Horus’ eye. Unfortunately, Horus cut off his balls in turn. Even without his prized testes Set was known for being quite the ladies&#8217; man and a skilled lover. This always seems to be the way with gods. Presumably before the loss of his jewels, Set fathered many children with several different women.</p>
<p>
Set has been worshiped as the head and most important god on several occasions. He has had thousands bow down before him and isn’t one to shy away from getting his hands dirty. It’s really unfortunate that no one really knows what the hell his animal is. Like most Egyptian gods, Set is often depicted with an animal head. Unlike most of the gods, no one is really sure what the heck he’s supposed to be. Some say a donkey, a jackal, and even maybe an aardvark. So I will end with a joke.</p>
<p>
A Serpent guard, a Horus Guard, and a Set guard meet in the dessert. It is a tense moment. The Serpent guard’s eyes glow. The Horus guard’s beak glistens. The Set guard’s nose drips&#8230; </p>

<p><b>Johnny Rico</b> &#8211; Description by Weskimo</p>
<p>
Johnny Rico is the consummate soldier: dedicated, athletic, and unquestioning.  Give him the order &#8220;take the hill!&#8221; and he will, whatever the cost, in spite of the odds.  Like the rest of the Mobile Infantry, he possesses rather low overall worth, so Rico finds himself thrown into ambush after ambush as the human race is outsmarted by giant Bugs.  But that&#8217;s when the Infantry is most dangerous; when it&#8217;s trapped with nowhere to run.</p>
<p>
Rico is the worst of the bunch, whether it&#8217;s leading an undermanned squad to rescue the frigid bitch who just dumped his ass for a total cocksnob or single-handedly sawing a hole in a mountain-sized Bug and implanting a grenade into it&#8217;s back, Rico proves himself to be the dumbest, luckiest, and most single-minded soldier in the galaxy. </p>

<p><b>Dr. Horrible</b> &#8211; Description by Weskimo</p>
<p>
Web-logger and would-be super villain, Dr. Horrible has serious aims for destroying the status quo (which is NOT quo). He has his sights set on ruling this mess of a world by entering the notorious Evil League of Evil. Despite his PhD in Horribleness (with a minor in Honors Awesome), there is only one thing standing in his way into the League: his desperate crush on his exceptionally hot redhead laundromat friend, Penny. This all goes out the window when his nemesis, Captain Hammer, bangs her.  Consumed by jealous rage, Dr. Horrible is inspired to new heights in his criminal career. His frequent lapses into fully accompanied song shift away from his usual vagueness and take on a determined tone as he is driven towards the murder of Captain Hammer.  With a death finally in his own hands, Dr. Horrible is able to truly see himself for the perfect villain that he is.  Admitted into the Evil League of Evil at last and his nemesis defeated, the world quakes with fear at their first view at real masterful Horribleness.</p>

<p><b>The Imperium of Man</b> &#8211; Description by MerrGe</p>
<p>
Their soldiers are legion. Their might unmatched throughout the galaxy. Their billions of citizens toiling away on thousands of worlds. This is the Imperium of Man, proud commanders of the galaxy, guided by the Immortal God Emperor, a living warp god among men. Surrounded on all sides by hellish rivals, The Imperium fends them off with its mighty army and holy fleet, struggling to save its people. From the mightiest chapter master to the lowest guardsman, all serve the God Emperor. His priests preach his name. His soldiers strike down his enemies. His blessed fleets level their opponents. None can stand against the Imperium. Few dare try.  </p>
<p>
The God Emperor of Mankind is the supreme ruler of the Imperium. He keeps the astronomicon whole using his mind, allowing ships to travel through the warp. He was grievously injured in a fight with his favored son when the latter was turned to Chaos. His last few living cells are in the golden throne, allowing him to stay alive.  Those who fight in his name are legion: </p>
<ul>
<li>The Adeptus Astartes Space marines are superhuman, genetically engineered to be the ultimate killing machines. They wear power armor, which enhances their strength and speed, and carry some of the deadliest weapons in the Imperium.
<p>
<li>The Imperial Guard are normal, everyday soldiers. Each is willing to die for the Emperor. Their weapons are worse than those of space marines but are still deadly. They are generally viewed as expendable, hurled in their thousands against enemy lines.
<p>
<li>The Collegio Titanicus: Commanders of the mighty Titan legions, they wield incredible power. Titans are capable of leveling cities, and are a potent reminder of the fate that befalls enemies of the Imperium.
<p><li>The Inquisition: They have nigh unlimited power to command the forces of the Imperium in the name of fighting the Mutant, the Heretic, and the Xenos. They can authorize the use of the Imperium&#8217;s greatest weapon of last resort: Exterminatus. The power to destroy worlds.
</ul>
<p><b>Famous Lines:</b><br />
&#8220;All the Emperor requires of us guardsmen is that we stand the line, and we die fighting. It is what we do best, we die standing.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Mercy is a sign of weakness&#8221;<br />
&#8220;There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt&#8221;<br />

Let them carefully assemble their armies before you, planning out the ravaging that you both know is coming. Let them believe that you are quaking in fear of your impending doom. Let them relish the feelings of triumph as they unleash their monstrous hordes upon your own meager forces. Let them perfectly execute every move that should seal your fate.</p>
<p>
Then watch with shit-eating glee as their victorious and gloating visage melts away, leaving only vendetta-inducing frustration.</p>
<p>
<b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;Nope!&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;Sigh&#8230;&#8221;</p>

<b>Special move:</b> A 1 casting cost &#8220;fuck you.&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Ayumu &#8220;Osaka&#8221; Kasuga</b></p>
<p>
Osaka was a transfer student from, that&#8217;s right, Osaka, who attended an unnamed Japanese high school where she befriended a group of wacky, sweet, and generally kind girls. During her high school career, Osaka often acted strangely, daydreamed constantly, and focused on issues most would consider irrelevant, such as the type of bread she would be eating during a bread-eating contest. Ayumu completed school with the dream of becoming a teacher, something which her high school teacher considered a personal offense. </p>
<p>
<b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;Oh my Gah!&#8221;</p>

<hr width="75%">
<p><b>Bono</b> &#8211; Description by jen</p>
<p>
Bono is the lead singer of the popular band U2, and has become famous for his work outside his band with the poor and such. He has had such a successful musical career that he can see no other levels to try to reach, so he has branched out. Bono has made great leaps forward in the field of douchery, arrogance, and self-importance. Just like his bank account, his cock is monstrous, but don&#8217;t worry, he uses it to fight oppression in third world countries.</p>
<p>
<b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;I’m representing the poorest and the most vulnerable people. On a spiritual level, I have that with me. I’m throwing a punch, and the fist belongs to those people who can’t be in the room, whose rage, whose anger, whose hurt I represent. The moral force is way beyond mine.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;Uno&#8230;dos&#8230;tres&#8230;catorce!&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b><br />
&#8220;One&#8230;two&#8230;three&#8230;fourteen? You&#8217;re a drunken asshole, Bono.&#8221; -anyone who speaks Spanish<br />
&#8220;I am still trying to figure out who appointed Bono &#8216;spokesperson for the poor.&#8217;&#8221; -Kevin Gray</p>

<hr width="75%">
<p><b>Edward Cullen</b> &#8211; Description by jen</p>
<p>
Edward Cullen is a vampire from the popular series <i>Twilight</i> who develops an unhealthy obsession with the book&#8217;s main character, Bella Swan. It was stalk at first sight. Luckily she is okay with it, and she seems to have no other goals in her life but to be the obsession of a pretty boy, and the books revolve around their stupid and overly melodramatic undying (heh, undead) love for one another.</p>
<p>
After reviewing his behaviour towards Bella, you realize that it&#8217;s a damn good thing that he is good looking because his advances are creepy, stalker-like, and actually pretty damn alarming.</p>
<p>
The <i>Twilight</i> series, and more specifically, Edward Cullen, set up all men in relationships for failure as all the little tweens who read the books use them as a relationship handbook. Well, news for you tweens: I know you want your latest man-boy crush to be hungry for your company, but Edward is actually going to fucking EAT HER.  At any rate, the guy should be voted for as his cock is not only the subject of many a woman&#8217;s dreams, but because he probably has been the biggest source of cock block in the history of fictional characters.</p>
<p>
<b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;Do I dazzle you?&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;Fuck Edward Cullen.&#8221; &#8211; Weskimo</p>
<p>
<b>Special moves:</b> Sparkling in the fucking sunlight, being emo. </p>

<p><b>Beetlejuice</b> &#8211; Description by Weskimo</p>
<p>
A wildly unpredictable &#8220;bio-exorcist&#8221;, Beetlejuice delights in terrorizing the living and takes immense pride in his ability to do so.  Taking the term &#8220;over the top&#8221; to a new level, Beetlejuice flails around the neitherworld making frequent comedic use of his abilities to change his shape to however best horrify, or entertain, anyone who happens to be in his disgusting presence.</p>
<p>
Beetlejuice was accidentally summoned to the world of the living and set himself upon angsty teenager Lydia and her family, but reconciled with her and became her friend in return for a lucrative cartoon show contract.</p>
<p>
<b>Special Move:</b> Maniacal laughter</p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Captain Benjamin Lafayette Sisko</b></p>
<p>
With the death of his wife during the battle of Wolf 359 at the hands of one Locutus &#8220;Picard&#8221; of Borg, Ben Sisko found his life crumbling around him. He had to deal with raising his son alone, and his career was stalling out. Life&#8217;s frustrations were so great that he even considered resigning after being nominated for a command position at Deep Space 9.</p>
<p>
Sisko&#8217;s arrival at DS9 changed all that. He discovered a stable wormhole to a distant part of the galaxy, and met with a strange race living inside that wormhole called the Prophets. Those aliens turned out to be the gods of the Bajorans, and Sisko&#8217;s meeting with them made him a vital religious figure, the Emissary.</p>
<p>
Sisko&#8217;s meeting with the Prophets made him decide to stay in Starfleet, and his command of Deep Space 9 would ultimately become one of the most important positions in Starfleet history. Sisko played an indispensable role in the defense of the Federation during the Dominion war, working with the Federation&#8217;s new Klingon allies, and tricking the Romulan Star Empire into joining the cause as well.</p>
<p>
<b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;The best is yet to come.&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Tiger Woods</b> &#8211; Description by sulci</p>
<p>
One of the most successful golfers of all time, and the until very recently, the highest-paid professional athlete evar. Some of his accomplishments include winning 14 professional major gold championships, 71 PGA tour events, 16 World Golf Championships, and most recently winning ShufflingDead.com&#8217;s <a href=http://shufflingdead.com/news/tiger-woods-blah-blah-blah.php id=t01- title="VIP of the SFL" target="_blank">VIP of the SFL</a> (sport-fucking league) award this year. No longer able to hold up his good boy image when allegations of infidelities with another woman, Rachel Uchite were publicized. Since then dozens and dozens of women, including models, hostess, and porn stars, have stepped forward to confess that they too have slept with the Tiger, who was already happily married with two children, to a super hot Swedish model.</p>
<p>
2010 Has brought Tiger Woods from being a golf superstar to the front cover of every tabloid and news site for weeks and weeks. Fear not for Tiger Woods, as he has already announced he has already <a href=http://justjared.buzznet.com/2010/03/16/tiger-woods-returns-to-golf-at-the-masters/ id=v7gx title=ended target="_blank">ended</a> his &#8220;indefinite&#8221; leave from golf and don&#8217;t worry!

<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;I want to say to each of you, simply and directly, I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Battle Cry:</b> &#8220;I want to treat you rough. Throw you around, spank and slap you&#8230; Hold you down while i choke you and Fuck that ass that i own&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Colonel Jonathan “Jack” O’Neill</b> &#8211; description by Fiona</p>
<p>
Jack O’Neill (that’s &#8220;O’Neill&#8221; – two ls!) is the star character of the popular sci-fi show <i>Stargate SG1</i>.  Pulled out of retirement to head the flagship team at Stargate Command, O’Neill is a special ops trained Colonel of the United States Air Force. He and his team (SG1) explore other planets through the stargate, an alien device capable of transporting matter (and people) across the universe in a matter of seconds. They kick bad guy ass wherever possible, and save Earth from certain destruction more times than is really plausible (they are just that awesome).</p>
<p>
O’Neill has a history of insubordination, inappropriate sarcasm and jokes, and likes to play dumb about anything &#8220;sciency.&#8221; It takes a lot to earn his respect, but once earned he is a loyal friend who can be counted on in any situation. He has a sharp sense of humour, and staunch moral code – &#8220;we don’t leave our people behind!&#8221; Jack O’Neill puts the lives and well being of those under his command far ahead of his own, and never hesitates to do whatever it takes to get things done.</p>
<p>
<b>Famous lines:</b><br />
“Yasureyabetcha!”<br />
In response to Daniel&#8217;s &#8220;Hathor was the Egyptian goddess of fertility, inebriety, and music,&#8221; &#8220;Sex, drugs, and rock &#8216;n roll?&#8221;</p>
<p>
<b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;Well, it&#8217;s just that I&#8217;ve never actually heard you referred to as a diplomat. I think, um, antagonist was the word used.&#8221; –Daniel Jackson</p>
<p>
<b>Special move:</b> Saving the world, despite billion to one odds. EVERY time!</p>

<hr width="75%">
<p><b>Shigeru Miyamoto</b></p>
<p>Shigeru Miyamoto was hired in 1977 by Nintendo at the age of 24 to be a staff artist. In 1981, the company found itself afloat in unsold arcade cabinets for a game that had flopped, and on the verge of financial ruin. Mr. Miyamoto was asked to head up a project to replace the arcade cabinets with a game of his own design, and what he created would change the face of gaming forever. <i>Donkey Kong</i> introduced gaming paradigms which echo through time and continue to define the very core of video games. He created the story before the gameplay, a first in the industry, he introduced the concept of jumping to avoid obstacles, and he popularized the use of multiple levels. The game also introduced the world to the most successful and recognizable video game character of all time: Mario.</p>
<p>
Following <i>Donkey Kong</i>, and for nearly 30 years, Miyamoto has continually introduced the world to memorable characters and exciting new game franchises, including <i>The Legend of Zelda, Star Fox, Nintendogs,</i> and <i>Pikmin</i>. Shigeru has been the driving force within Nintendo for revolutionary new types of game controls, including the N64&#8242;s joystick, and the Wii remote.</p>
<p>
Mr. Miyamoto is a Chevalier of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and recently recieved a BAFTA Fellowship Award.</p>
<p>
<b>Famous lines:</b><br />
&#8220;Video games are bad for you? That&#8217;s what they said about Rock n&#8217; Roll.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>What if everything that you see, is more than what you see? The person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn&#8217;t? You either dismiss it or accept that there is more to the world than you think. Perhaps it is really a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you&#8217;ll find many unexpected things.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With GameFAQs&#8217; Character Battle VIII <a href="http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb8.html" target="_blank">well under way</a>, and Oscar night this Sunday, awards season is in full &#8220;swing,&#8221; which means it&#8217;s time for everybody&#8217;s favourite parody of meaningless contests, Cock Wars!</p>
<p>
<strong>What is Cock Wars?</strong><br />
Cock Wars is the ultimate battle for supremacy in the universe. Competitors use their strength of dong to claim superiority over others.</p>
<p>
<strong>How does it work?</strong><br />
I will post the polls in the Cock Wars 2010 forum, you vote for who you think is the most awesome in each, the winner moves on to the next round. Polls will run for a full week, and, until the final, four will be posted at a time. The full Battle Bracket is available <a href="http://shufflingdead.com/events/cockwars/cock-wars-2010-battle-bracket.php" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>
<span id="more-4948"></span><br />
<strong>How do I vote?</strong><br />
You must register a forums account to vote. Since the polls are also forums threads, you can post promotional items, and bitch merrily as the polls run.</p>
<p>
<strong>Who is eligible for Cock Wars 2010?</strong><br />
Basically any real person, fictional character, organization, or entity ever is a viable contestant. Historical figures, real or fake company mascots, real or fake companies, movie characters, comic book characters, book characters, TV show hosts, video game characters, etc. Anyone or anything you can think of! Repeats from Cock Wars 2006, 2007, 2008, or 2009 are NOT allowed.</p>
<p>
Get your nominations in now by posting them in <a href="http://forums.shufflingdead.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&#038;t=1901" target="_blank">this thread</a> or the comments section below. I&#8217;m far more likely to accept your nominations if you simultaneously volunteer to write those nominee&#8217;s descriptions.</p>
<p>
<strong>How many contestants will there be?</strong><br />
64 contestants, with four entrants per poll.</p>
<p>
<strong>How long will it last?</strong><br />
Less than two months!</p>
<p>
<strong>When does it start?</strong><br />
The first four polls will open Monday, April 5, 2010. Those polls will be closed the following Monday, when four new polls will open.</p>
<p>
<strong>Will I hate you, this website, and humanity when this is all over?</strong><br />
The hatred over Cock Wars has subsided in recent years.</p>
<p>
<strong>Will there be character descriptions this year?</strong><br />
I personally despise writing the character descriptions, but we had a lot of fun last year with volunteers handling the bulk of write-ups. My hope is to have user-submitted descriptions become the norm, so if you&#8217;d like to volunteer and make my dream a reality, let me know along with your nominations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cock Wars 2009 was begun with 64 aspiring Cock Master Generals, and was concluded with the crowning of one supreme being of legendary status. Lord of the Rings, Alien, Chrono Trigger, Batman, and Spiderman characters warred against the wealthiest of men, the harsh Russian winter, and video game consoles. A Tetris piece did slay a rock star. Napoleon’s tactical ability was no match for the Alien Queen. Iron Man outmaneuvered Dr. Octopus. Bill Nye the Science Guy outsmarted the Mongol cavalry.</p>
<p><span id="more-743"></span><br />
Ultimately, the war came down to a single battle. Ares, god of war, become the Alpha Quadrant champion. The maniacal Joker won the Beta championship. Batman conquered the Gamma Quadrant. And Neil Patrick Harris slew all comers in the Delta Quadrant. Those four then came together for a contest of testicular strength, in a culmination of wang so lengthy and girthy as to be almost unimaginable.</p>
<p>These four battled one another with honour and a might of cock worthy of the deepest respect. As the contest began, it quickly became obvious that Batman and his nemesis The Joker would be no match for the likes of Ares and NPH.</p>
<p>The battle wore on; Ares pulled ahead, then Harris. The two struggled, one outdoing the other. The fight continued like this for a full week. Eventually, Ares tired of the fury Harris was able to lay down, and he eventually succumb to the might of the former child actor.</p>
<p>Neil Patrick Harris: former child star, cameo god, internet musical sensation, and sitcom actor, has achieved a glory so great, its significance is immeasurable, he is the Cock Wars 2009 champion.</p>

<p><b>Frog</b> &#8211; Description by Weskimo</p>
<p>Frog, otherwise known as Glenn, is a knight in the service of the kingdom of Guardia, and joins Crono and Lucca in a rescue attempt for Queen Leene in 600AD. Once an all-around sissy boy, after watching his best friend being murdered by a dark wizard and being turned into a walking, talking frog all in one day, he realizes that nice guys really do finish last, and its enough to turn the marshmallow into a valiant, monster-slaying, pint-sized badass.  Though tormented by his failure to help his best friend, he vows to protect the kingdom and slay Magus. Armed with the mythical broadsword Masamune, watery magical abilities, and one hell of a tongue, this frog is out for blood.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;Lower thine guard and thou&#8217;rt allowing the enemy in.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;You&#8217;re a marshmallow, Glenn&#8221; –Cyrus, &#8220;A&#8230;a FROG!?  Crono, it&#8217;s a talking FROG!  I hate frogs!&#8221;  -Lucca, &#8220;Riiiibbit!!!!&#8221; -Slippy Toad</p>
<p><b>Special Move:</b> Frog tongue</p>

<p><b>The Alien Queen</b> &#8211; Description by Psycho Limey</p>
<p>It is a well known fact that the maternal instinct can turn anything female, from docile, into a destructive force like no other. The movie Aliens has a lot to do with those maternal instincts, and what they can bring out in us. Spill a man’s drink or insult him and a fight is likely, but give a mother cause for violence and you can forget all hope of leaving uninjured. The alien queen, standing at 15&#8242; tall, will make you wish you had one last bullet.</p>
<p>The Alien Queen is smarter than the average human. Her capacity for learning means no matter how smart you think you are, she will find a way to get you and considering she usually has an army of the deadliest creatures going on her side. You are pretty much hooped.</p>
<p>She can shrug off almost all injuries, that&#8217;s if you&#8217;re even capable of damaging her. She can reproduce an army in days, and even if you do somehow manage to escape or kill her, her entire genetic memory is passed on. Leave even a single egg alive and that one facehugger will find something to hatch an alien from, that one alien will find the nutrients to molt into a queen, and that queen will remember you, and will never stop trying for vengeance.<br />

<p><b>Blade</b></p>
<p>Blade is a vampire-hunter hybrid, known as &#8220;daywalker&#8221; amongst vampires. He has all of the strengths of a vampire, and none of the weaknesses (except blood thirst). Blade is assisted by a wicked old man named Whistler, who is his mentor and weapon-smith. With Whistler&#8217;s technology, Blade is able to slaughter many poor vampires, whose only crimes are their lust for human blood and attempts to awaken various vampire gods and vampire fathers.</p>
<p><b>Famous line:</b> &#8220;Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate uphill.&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Napoleon</b> &#8211; Description by Doug</p>
<p>Born in Corsica and trained as an artillery officer in mainland France, Bonaparte rose to prominence under the First French Republic and led successful campaigns against the First and Second Coalitions arrayed against France. In 1799, he staged a coup d&#8217;état and installed himself as First Consul; five years later he crowned himself Emperor of the French. In the first decade of the nineteenth century, he turned the armies of the French Empire against every major European power and dominated continental Europe through a series of military victories. While considered a tyrant by his opponents, he is also remembered for the establishment of the Napoleonic code, which laid the administrative and judicial foundations for much of Western Europe.</p>
<p>Considered by many to be the greatest general of the modern age; during his Italian campaign, Bonaparte&#8217;s army captured 150,000 prisoners, 540 cannons and 170 standards. The French army fought 67 actions and won 18 pitched battles due to superior artillery technology and Bonaparte&#8217;s tactics. Only the Russian winter was able to thwart his expansion. The only man who ever defeated him, General Wellington, when asked who was the greatest general of the day, answered: &#8220;In this age, in past ages, in any age, Napoleon.”</p>

<p><b>The Spanish Armada</b> &#8211; Description by Doug</p>
<p>The year was 1588, and King Phillip II if Spain was intent on invading England. To this end he assembled a fleet composed of around 130 ships, 8,000 sailors and 18,000 soldiers, and bore 1,500 brass guns and 1,000 iron guns. The full body of the fleet took two days to leave port. It contained 28 purpose-built warships: 20 galleons, 4 galleys and 4 galleasses. The remainder of the heavy vessels consisted mostly of armed carracks and hulks; there were also 34 light ships present. As well, 30,000 soldiers were assembled in the Spanish Netherlands awaiting transport on barges under cover of the Armada. In the ensuing series of battles, and bad weather Sir Francis Drake sunk a good deal of the Armada, and drove the rest off. Let’s face it, he should have been on the list instead of the Armada.</p>

<p><b>Smeagol/Gollum</b> &#8211; Description by Fiona</p>
<p>Once similar to a hobbit, Gollum is a twisted creature driven half crazy by the One Ring. And by half I mean completely: he’s got two personalities (who argue with each other on occasion). Gollum is the dark and twisty side, Smeagol the loyal, naive pushover. This nutty little bastard can riddle with the best of them, sing, see in the dark and catch fish with his bare hands. Come on now, how many of YOU can do that? He also hates Sam, implying good taste because anyone who likes Sam is an idiot. Stupid fat hobbit.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> “My Precious&#8230;” “The rock and pool, is nice and cool, so juicy sweet! Our only wish, to catch a fish, so juicy sweeeeet!” “Stupid fat hobbit!”</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> “There&#8217;s naught left in him but lies and deceit. It&#8217;s the ring he wants; it&#8217;s all he cares about.” &#8211; Sam</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Biting and thrashing around madly.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>

<p><b>Neutral Good Fighter</b> &#8211; Description by Psycho Limey</p>
<p>Violence is a tool, it needs to applied to the right job and by somebody who knows how to use it. The neutral good fighter is not what he first appears to be. He&#8217;s the guy on the battlefield like every good soldier, taking the fight to the enemy because somebody has to, but this isn&#8217;t the story of some soldier with no sense of self. The N.G. Fighter is the one whose eyes are always open, he&#8217;s the one who stands up for what is right. It&#8217;s easy to commit atrocities in war, it&#8217;s been proven many times how evil apathy can be, but when these things happen there are those who stand against the tide.</p>
<p>This is not a fighter who devotes his life to thwarting evil at any cost. This is the everyman who will not close his eyes to torture, to rape, to the murder of innocents. He draws a line in the sand and stands firm with weapon in hand, even if it will cost him his life.</p>
<p>Every generation needs heroes. Sometimes we need to recognize the simplest ones and admit just how hard it can be to resist our own dark impulses.</p>

<p><b>The Borg</b> &#8211; Description by Fiona</p>
<p>The Borg are an enemy of the Federation in the Star Trek universe. They are a collective of part machine, part human drones led by a Queen Borg. The drones are of one mind; nanoprobes present in every Borg communicate with each other and pass on any information obtained by individuals drones. This enables instantaneous adaptation of all Borg when faced with a threat. Each Borg has many machine parts, including one laser eye and an arm with various devices that can be used for a variety of tasks (weapons fire, tools, healing, assimilation ‘needles’). The Borg travel in cube-shaped ships equipped with powerful tractor beams to reel in their prey. The most notably awesome Borg is Seven of Nine in Star Trek Voyager. Seven rediscovers her humanity throughout the series when she is severed from the Borg Collective. She also wears a super-sexy jumpsuit. Just saying.</p>
<p><b>Battle cry:</b> “We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.”</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Assimilation&#8230; i.e. turning others into Borg.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<hr />
<p><b>Edward &#8220;The Riddler&#8221; Nigma</b></p>
<p>The Riddler is another classic Batman villain, The Riddler&#8217;s evil stems from his constant need to test his own intellect. He strives to place his enemies in inescapable death traps, and lead them on during his crime sprees via cryptic word puzzles. Like so many villains, The Riddler&#8217;s evil may stem from childhood trauma, some critics suggest that The Riddler was abused as a child by his envious father after receiving high grades.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<hr />
<p><b>Kari Byron</b></p>
<p>Kari appears on one of the finest television shows of the modern era, called Mythbusters. On this program, a crack team of semi-professionals dick around with equipment, performing experiments to determine the validity of rumours and myths. In this show, Kari rises above all others on the show in terms of ability to be sexy. She will often talk, build things, be painted in gold, write her name in the snow via pissing (and that&#8217;s hard for a woman), but most vitally, smile seductively.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<hr />
<p><b>Sega Mega &#8220;Genesis&#8221; Drive</b></p>
<p>Known to the rest of the world as the Sega Mega Drive and the Genesis in North America, this was Sega&#8217;s poor attempt to compete with the glory of Nintendo&#8217;s SNES in the 16-bit generation war. The Genesis is known primarily for two things: its ability to play many &#8220;classic&#8221; Sonic the Hedgehog games, and its ability to connect to other useless pieces of technology to form an even larger piece of useless technology. A Genesis, equipped with its 32X, Mega CD, cleaning cart, several Sonic &#038; Knuckles cartridges, and a copy of Sonic 3 can tower well above many mortal men. This obvious grab at phallic compensation is useless in the face of the SNES&#8217; Mario, Zelda, and Final Fantasy powered cock.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<hr />
<p><b>Sonic the Hedgehog</b> &#8211; Description by Weskimo</p>
<p>The anthropomorphic whipping boy of Sega&#8217;s glory days, Sonic the Hedgehog is the down-on-his-luck kickball of the gaming world.  While he was played up as Mario&#8217;s rival for gaming supremacy, Sega showed nothing but disdain for his work, constantly trying to throw consumer focus at no-value add ons and jock sports games.  The games they contracted to Sonic became progressively shittier.  They even tried to phase him out by introducing a new furry star in every game, hoping the fans would like the new guy better.  Furry fans of the world loved the little blue bastard-child of a hedgehog and a lonely midget too much to let Sega kill Sonic though, and continued to buy his games, no matter how craptastic and unplayable Sega made them.  Sega eventually surrendered their position in the console market, cut Sonic&#8217;s pay and started giving him the worst jobs they could come up with.  Need a game where we turn the character turns into a werehog?  Get Sonic.  Need another character to get beat up in Super Smash Bros. Brawl?  Sonic&#8217;s on it.  Goomba shit on the floor?  Make Sonic clean it up.  Best part is, the little junkie will work for a couple of rings that he&#8217;ll just run off and lose when he takes his next hit.</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;This game sucks.&#8221; -Newbs, SDGR Review of Sonic 1</p>
<p><b>Special Move:</b> Blue balls</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>

<p><b>Hades</b> &#8211; Description by Fiona</p>
<p>My man Hades is the Greek god of the Underworld. He is one of the major Olympian Gods and brother of Zeus and Poseidon. He uses his awesome godliness to trick Persephone into staying with him as his consort and Queen of the Underworld. She’s his niece, but you know&#8230; whatever does it for ya.</p>
<p>Hades is also a Disney bad guy!!!!!!! And I’m sorry, but Disney bad guys are the coolest guys ever. They always have the best songs. And his hair is blue fire, how awesome is that?</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> “Two thumbs waaay way up for our leading lady.” &#8211; as his thumbs burst into fire</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<hr />
<p><b>Neil &#8220;Fucking&#8221; Patrick &#8220;Fucking&#8221; Harris</b> &#8211; Description by Doug</p>
<p>One of the greatest actors of all time, Neil began acting in the fourth grade, as Toto in his school’s production of The Wizard of Oz. He starred in the Emmy nominated Doogie Howser MD, and the Emmy nominated How I Met Your Mother.</p>
<p>He is a huge fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000. He had the balls to play a drug-crazed, lecherous parody of himself in both Harold and Kumar movies. He’s awesome, he high fives, and he brought “Suit Up!” into modern lexicon.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<hr />
<p><b>Galactic Empire</b> &#8211; Description by Fiona</p>
<p>The Galactic Empire is the emerging power when the Old Republic of the Star Wars universe fails. Led by the Galactic Emperor and Sith Lord, former Chancellor Palpatine, the Galactic Empire rules the galaxy as a totalitarian entity with absolute power. Anakin Skywalker is seduced by the Dark Side of the Force and becomes Darth Vader, second in command to the Emperor. The three prequel movies are about his transition to the Dark Side and the fall of the Old Republic, while the original trilogy is about the time period following this, when the Empire is the reigning power.</p>
<p>Kickass tidbits about the Empire proving its giant-dong-awesomeness: A clone army serves the Empire and carries out its evil doings. They created the Death Star which can destroy entire planets. Like the Jedi, the Sith in power use the Force, but are more evil and hardcore about it. Mwahahahaha!!!! Dong-awesome. Vote Galactic Empire.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> “Luke, I am your father.” –Darth Vader</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> “Noooooo!” – Luke Skywalker, in response to above.</p>
<p><b>Battle cry:</b> The sound of lightsabers being drawn. Vshoooom!!!</p>
<p><b>Special moves:</b> Electrocuting people, Choking people, wielding double headed lightsabers!</p>

<p><b>John Michael &#8220;Ozzy&#8221; &#8220;Prince of Darkness&#8221; Osbourne</b></p>
<p>Ozzy is the lead singer of Black Sabbath and commands a successful solo career. He is the father of seven children, two of whom have become famous in their own right. His daughter Kelly is chubby and kind of attractive. Ozzy has over 15 tattoos, including &#8220;O-Z-Z-Y&#8221; spelled across the knuckles of his left hand, which he got as a teenager, and were done by sewing needle and pencil lead. Ozzy has bitten off the heads of a live dove and a dead bat, and can out-drug-take all comers.</p>

<hr />
<p><b>The Punisher</b> &#8211; Description by Psycho Limey</p>
<p>They say the Punisher doesn&#8217;t have recurring villains. There is one however, the entire reason his character exists isn&#8217;t crime, it isn&#8217;t the mafia that gunned down his family. It&#8217;s not Satan or some faceless evil entity. It&#8217;s the legal system. The entire rotten to the core system that allows evil to occur every day and for evil people to get away with their actions in the name of keeping the system fair. After the system let him down, he stepped up and started dishing out punishment in a far more efficient manner. Criminals are simply put down. He unflinchingly kills people. Anyone who deserves to die as he sees it, dies. He wipes out the organized crime in his city and takes on all comers.</p>
<p>Frank Castle, the Punisher is the catharsis that every victim wants. He treats the worst kind of people like they deserve, making sure that every punishment he hands out sends a clear message to the rest of the world&#8217;s evil, never afraid to use all kinds of violence to drive the point home.</p>
<p>The Punisher is always careful to avoid collateral damage and he despises amateur vigilantes who usually have some personal agenda or racist motives. However, everything he does, has made little difference. His real enemy, society and the system it supports is still there. We still create our own monsters and allow injustices. We&#8217;ll complain for a day, or even for a few months if it&#8217;s a real atrocity but we don&#8217;t stop it, we barely even try.</p>
<p>So maybe you don&#8217;t like the fact the Punisher kills people, I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s a well constructed argument for how his actions will never solve anything. Except you don&#8217;t need to tell him that. He already knows, but until he&#8217;s dead, he is never going to stop making sure that everyone he can find gets their just reward, and that he saves every person he can from finding out how it feels to be the Punisher.</p>
<p><b>Battle Cry:</b> The solid click of a loaded magazine sliding home into his .45</p>
<p><b>Special Move:</b> You might throw up if I described what he&#8217;s done to some people, but would you throw up if I described what they did to earn the Punishers wrath?<br />

<p><b>L-Shaped Tetris Block</b></p>
<p>Many would claim Tetris to be an ensemble cast, with the L and J pieces forming nice little boxes for the O to fit into, the Z and S tumbling around and getting in the way, and the Long-Job clearing everybody else out of the way. Well, they would be wrong. L-Shaped Tetris Block dominates all the other pieces by way of his obvious penis-might. Just look at the letter L and turn your head to the left, it looks like a damn cock and balls! The community of GameFaqs.com recognized the glory of L-Shaped Tetris Block and awarded him the Character Battle Championship in 2007.</p>

<p><b>The Dominion</b></p>
<p>Founded somewhere between 10 000 BCE and 2 000 BCE by the Changelings, The Dominion stands as a great Galactic force, dominating thousands of planets in the Gamma Quadrant. The Changelings rule over the dominion with absolute power, and are considered to be gods by their subjects. Loyalty amongst their engineered Vorta and Jem&#8217;Hadar minions is encoded genetically, allowing The Dominion to operate with utter efficiency at all times. Only a small contingent of The Dominion army was able to ally themselves with a few Alpha quadrant species and nearly defeat the Federation Alliance, which was made up of the three great Alpha quadrant powers: The Federation, The Klingon Empire, and the Romulan Star Empire.</p>

<p><b>Robo</b> &#8211; Description by Weskimo</p>
<p>Robo is found and repaired by Lucca in 2300AD (and he&#8217;s kinda pissed that you bastards kicked her out of Cock Wars already).  Upon his reactivation, he has no memory of his prior mission and his curious and helpful personality lead him to join Crono and his friends on their quest to save the planet from Lavos (one bad motherfucking guy, FYI).  Programmed to aid humanity, he is equipped with both offensive and defensive abilities, and attacks enemies by relentlessly pounding them with his rocket powered fists. This tubby robot keeps busy in combat by spraying allies with powerful healing rays or dropping bitches with his robo-fists and rainbow lasers, and let me tell you, he makes Gato look like a fucking carnival attraction.    </p>
<p><b>Famous Lines:</b> &#8220;I am&#8230;Robo&#8230;Data storage complete.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;I&#8217;m not your mistress.&#8221; &#8211; Marle</p>

<p><b>Chaotic Evil Wizard</b> &#8211; Description by Psycho Limey</p>
<p>There are always people who crave power at any cost and the saying &#8220;Power  corrupts&#8221; takes on no scarier face than that of the chaotic evil wizard. A wizard&#8217;s power is not just the ability to use arcane arts to ruin you. He&#8217;s smart, conniving, and his problem solving skills are at their peak. He has to know everyday what might occur and how best to be ready for it as he can only use so many spells. A chaotic evil wizard wields almost limitless power and the only thing governing how he uses it is which side of the bed he woke up on.</p>
<p>Crazy people are often celebrated for their creativity and badass factor. Well this person has the power to accomplish whatever takes his fancy, and more often than not, it&#8217;s making you sing, dance, and explode to the tune of his choice.</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;OH GOD WHY? Why would you do that to me, what kind of inhuman monster would cause such suffering, oh please merciful gods end my torment. How could you do such things!?&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Battle Cry:</b> &#8220;Because I can&#8221;</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<hr />
<p><b>Poseidon</b></p>
<p>Poseidon is the god of the sea and earthquakes. When the world was divided by three, Poseidon was granted command of the sea, and when he was denied reward for building the walls around the city of Troy, he sent a sea monster to attack the city. Poseidon wields an impressive trident and an even more impressive beard. For more on Poseidon, check out The Little Mermaid, because King Triton is a pretty obvious rip off of him.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<hr />
<p><b>The Maginot Line</b> &#8211; Description by Doug</p>
<p>Perhaps the greatest piece of military engineering to ever fail, the Maginot Line has a somewhat underserved bad rap in the modern age. First of all, the line did in fact extend all the way north to the sea. Second, line is something of a misnomer, in places the Maginot defenses were over 25km deep. And such defenses they were! Very briefly: An independent road and rail system to aid in resupply and defense, constructed of deliberately short runs so as to be very difficult to capture, and easy for the French to sabotage as they pulled back. 142 Major Fortresses, 352 Casements, 78 Shelters, 17 Observatories, and about 5 000 blockhouses, floodways/ammo dumps/food caches galore, almost 1 500 weapons openings of various types, 152 turrets, a shit/fuck/superlatives-just-don’t-do-it-justice load of artillery.</p>
<p>The French Engineers had designed the perfect weapon for the First World War. Unfortunately, the Germans were one step ahead as usual, and their overwhelming air power, quick armor and superior small unit tactics allowed them to smash the line, and take France from behind…. as if she were France.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<hr />
<p><b>Joan of Arc</b> &#8211; Description by Doug</p>
<p>Joan could not have picked a worse time or place to be born: France was embroiled in Hundred Years War, huge chunks of her territory were under English control and with her population still reeling after the Black Plague, it looked like the rest might topple. However, at the age of 12, Joan began seeing visions, and became convinced she would lead her people to freedom. At the age of 16, she predicted that under her leadership, the French would be able to break out of the siege of Orleans. Having tried every legitimate, and sane, option, the Dauphin agreed to her request. She was able to break the siege, and went on to lead the French army in a yearlong English ass kicking festival until her capture and execution.</p>
<p>The English were so afraid of her and her influence that after they killed her by fire, they raked back the coals and exposed her body so no one could claim she escaped alive. They then burned the body not once, but twice more before throwing her ashes in the Seine. She was later ruled innocent of the charges brought against her, and was canonized in 1920. More importantly, she was one of the only people to interrupt the ass kickings the English were doling out courtesy of the long bow.</p>

<p><b>Private William Hudson</b> &#8211; Description by Psycho Limey</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve had a menial entry level job somewhere. Sat through some training videos and then been expected to not only care about the company but also to take your incredibly crappy job totally seriously and to deal with the horrible situations that arise with a smile and perfect customer service.</p>
<p>So what is it that makes you think a private in the army has it any better than you, at that terrible job? There has been a term in use since they first told some poor bastard to go fight that other guy over there. The &#8220;Soldiers prerogative&#8221; means one simple thing, that you, with your cushy existence have got no right to complain but that the soldier can bitch constantly about EVERYTHING so long as he always gets the job done. It&#8217;s a long standing tradition and soldiers generally take full advantage of it. </p>
<p>Pvt Hudson of the United States Colonial Marine Corp ends up travelling to the planet LV-426 in the movie Aliens, where he promptly gets into a SHTF situation no soldier would ever want to deal with. He&#8217;s not the stoic badass, he&#8217;s just your average soldier and he proceeds to complain constantly throughout the movie. But at the end, when the fight is on, he&#8217;s there, rifle in hand, dishing out 10mm fury to anyone who wants to &#8220;come get some.&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Batman</b> &#8211; Description by Fiona</p>
<p>Batman is a DC Comic superhero. Born Bruce Wayne, he is a mastermind scientist and a super-sleuth, as well as a wealthy, brooding and obsessive playboy. While Bruce Wayne is an irresponsible and superficial rich boy, his superhero alter ego is an intelligent and determined crime fighter. Orphaned at a young age by a mugger, Batman&#8217;s goal in life is to rid Gotham City of the evil that killed his parents. He travels the world to better understand the criminal mind. Bruce Wayne has an uncanny fear of bats; Batman&#8217;s bat costume was created in their image to terrify criminals. Batman is a founding member of the Justice Society of America, and Bruce Wayne has his own charitable foundation (the Wayne Foundation).</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;It took years and billions to synthesize. Luckily I had both.&#8221; &#8220;If Clark [Kent] wanted to, he could use his super-speed and squish me into the cement. But I know how he thinks. Even more than the Kryptonite, he&#8217;s got one big weakness. Deep down, Clark&#8217;s essentially a good person&#8230; and deep down, I&#8217;m not.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;Zap!&#8221; &#8220;Pow!&#8221; &#8220;Bam!&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Although Batman has no special &#8220;superpower,&#8221; he has mad detective skills, amazing physical prowess and crazy scientific abilities. He also designs all of his own awesome contraptions (i.e. utility belt for all his crime-fighting tools, and the BATMOBILE!!!) Anything invented by Batman gets the &#8220;bat&#8221; prefix. That&#8217;s right, he has his own copyright.</p>

<p><b>Demona</b> &#8211; Description by Fiona</p>
<p>Demona is a gargoyle with superhuman strength. Unlike most gargoyles that turn to stone during the day, Demona sports human form when the sun rises. She is manipulative and seductive, and hates the human race with a vengeance. She betrays anyone who is foolish enough to trust her. When she is angry, her eyes glow red. Oh, and she can do magic. This chick clearly has one massive cock.</p>

<p><b>Super Nintendo Entertainment System</b> &#8211; Description by Weskimo</p>
<p>The Super Nintendo was Nintendo&#8217;s 16-bit answer to the evolving gaming world. It was met with fierce resistance from its rivals, particularly from the Sega Genesis.  The Super Nintendo served as a Champion of Awesome during the Golden Age of gaming (it is called the Golden Age because I was at a stage of my life where I literally had nothing else to do than play Super Nintendo games). </p>
<p>The SNES facilitated the creation of classic games such as Chrono Trigger, Super Baseball 2020, NBA Jam, Metal Warriors, Link to the Past, and Donkey Kong Country, games that stuck with you, long after their time with you had past.  And though the SNES and many of its games have been outshone by newer and more advanced consoles, it is still kept close to all our hearts and souls.  This pioneering system taught you what a great game should feel like.  We owe it our reverence, and our votes.</p>

<p><b>Frodo and Sam</b> &#8211; Description by Fiona</p>
<p>Frodo and Sam are two hobbits entrusted with the task of taking the One Ring to Mordor and destroying it in the fires of Mount Doom to save Middle Earth from the dominion of the evil Dark Lord Sauron. Frodo Baggins, the main protagonist in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, often tries to ditch Sam and go it alone. Samwise Gamgee, however, repeatedly refuses to be left behind, maintaining that Frodo needs him. Together, the two hobbits manage the perilous journey to Mordor and get the job done. These two little guys face many dangers, but together they prevail. And even though Sam is a whiney little bitch, at least he’s a dedicated one.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;Go back, Sam. I&#8217;m going to Mordor alone.&#8221; &#8211; Frodo, &#8220;Of course you are. And I&#8217;m coming with you.&#8221; &#8211; Sam</p>

<p>When the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles&#8217; sissy jumping and kicking ninjitsu can&#8217;t get the job done and they need a real heavy-hitter, they call up their hockey mask-wearing bruiser, Casey Jones.  With his armament of baseball, cricket, and hockey equipment, Casey delivers wanton destruction upon the criminals of New York City.  Plus, he makes out with the hot redhead.  Booya.</p>

<p><b>Sultan of Brunei</b> &#8211; Description by Doug</p>
<p>At one point the richest man on earth, the Sultan is the government of Brunei. He is the head of state with full executive authority, as well as emergency powers since 1962. He is also the Prime Minister of Brunei, as well as holding the portfolios of Defence and Finance.<br />
The Sultan has an amazing list of material assets: 3-6 000 personal vehicles worth over $4 Billion including a Formula One car as driven by every Formula 1 World Drivers Champion since the 1980 Formula One season, particularly the ones driven in the last race for each season. During the 1990s, he accounted for half of all Bentley purchases worldwide. For personal use, the Sultan has a Boeing 747-400 furnished with gold plated furniture with an estimated value of $233 million including $3 million on furniture, six smaller planes and two helicopters. He is trained to pilot the aircraft. He also operates a $3 billion theme park called Jerudong Park, which is open free of charge to his citizens.</p>

<p><b>Goliath</b></p>
<p>Goliath is one nearly naked, powerfully strong Gargoyle. He is the leader of the Manhattan clan of Gargoyles and is named aptly after the Biblical giant Goliath. His feats include mating with Demona and then being betrayed by her, and resurrection after being frozen in stone for a thousand years. Goliath likes to fight my good buddy Xanatos, who is one cool cat with one cool pony-tail.</p>

<p><b>Chronos</b></p>
<p>Chronos is, in Greek mythology, the personification of time. An incorporeal god, serpentine in form, with three heads, Chronos was betrayed by the Greco-Romans when they portrayed him as a man turning the Zodiac Wheel. These words, because I don&#8217;t know fuck about Chronos, brought to you by friend of the site Wikipedia.org.</p>

<p><b>Klingon Empire</b></p>
<p>The Klingons are a noble warrior race who seek to perpetually weaken themselves by engaing in unecessary wars with the friendly, yet dishonorable, Federation. Klingons are a noble race, preferring ritual suicide to disgraceful defeat. Klingons have some crazy religious beliefs revolving around Kahless, their first emperor, and Sto-Vo-Kor, their equivalent of heaven which features perpetual feasting and battling. Klingons drink raktajino, call people targs, eat gagh, and when they aren&#8217;t suffering from viral mutations, sport protruding forehead ridges, used in the pleasuring of their women. Famous Klingons include Worf son of Mogh and William Shakespeare. </p>

<p><b>Lance Bishop 341-B</b> &#8211; Description by Psycho Limey</p>
<p>You should feel bad for being a pathetic meat sack. Androids are the way of the future and Bishop is one of the best. He&#8217;s fast enough to do the stabbing-a-knife-between-your-fingers trick so quickly it&#8217;s a blur, and he&#8217;s obviously smarter than us because he&#8217;s a robot, don&#8217;t give me any three dimensional synaptic connections bullcrap. It&#8217;s a computer, of course it&#8217;s faster. Bishop is one of the only surviving crew members of the Sulaco after it meets up with the aliens on LV-426. Except he gets torn in half and still manages to save people at the end of the movie. For all the other character&#8217;s badassedness, without Bishop they would&#8217;ve died several times over. Bishop is the future, a vote for Bishop will be looked kindly on by your future AI overlords, so do the right thing meatsack.</p>
<p><b>Famous line:</b> &#8220;Believe me, I&#8217;d prefer not to. I may be synthetic, but I&#8217;m not stupid.&#8221;</p>

<p><b>The Russian Winter</b> &#8211; Description by Doug</p>
<p>Russia is home to the harshest inhabited winters anywhere on the globe. The Siberian settlement of Oymyakon once experienced temperatures of -71.2 C. This bitter cold, more than any other military factor, has kept Russia safe throughout history. It stopped Genghis Khan from coming too far north, and both Napoleon and Hitler from moving too far West.<br />
Before Napleon had fought the first battle of his Russian Campaign, he had lost almost half of the Grande Armée (about 185,000 frogsicles) to the cold. Hitler’s army suffered some 23% casualties (734,000 Krautsicles) before the war was done. Moral of the story: If you want to invade Russia, you need one serious fur coat.</p>

<p><b>Alliance to Restore the Republic; or, The Rebel Alliance</b></p>
<p>The Rebel Alliance seeks to restore the ideals of the Old Republic, that of a shaky democracy held together with bureaucracy rather than fear. The Rebel Alliance is responsible for the destruction of two Death Stars and the defeat of the Darths Vader and Sidious. The Alliance&#8217;s weakness is its faith in its friends, and unerring optimism, causing the Rebels to occasionally fall for <i>traps</i>. The Rebel Alliance has included some of the most important figures in galactic history, including Princess Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and most vitally, its Supreme Commander, Admiral Ackbar.</p>

<p><b>Boromir</b> &#8211; Description by Psycho Limey</p>
<p>As part of the fellowship of the ring, Boromir was in a rough spot, he was in a position of authority in Gondor that put a lot of stress and pressure on him to save the place, so when he set off for the council, there was a lot for him to think on. Tolkien wrote of Boromir&#8217;s journey to the council that &#8220;the courage and hardihood required is not fully recognized in the narrative&#8221;, What does that mean? That while Frodo and the hobbits were busy stressing Aragorn out on a short walk from the Shire to the council, he was carving his way through unused paths full of monsters, dude even lost his horse partway there and just kept going. He essentially did the journey of the ring, plus some more insane adventures, but Boromir wasn&#8217;t some magical race, he wasn&#8217;t plot-armored, he was just trying to protect everyone he cared for and so despite his very human flaws he gave his life for the good of all. The least you can do is give a vote.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;One does not simply walk into Mordor.&#8221; &#8220;This is no mine. It&#8217;s a tomb.&#8221;</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<hr />
<p><b>The Joker</b></p>
<p>The Joker is an enigma. Sometimes he appears as a slightly overweight gangster with a love for terror, other times, he crams pencils into the eye sockets of slightly overweight gangsters. He&#8217;s been portrayed by everyone from Mark fucking Hamill to Jack fucking Nicholson to Heath fucking Ledger. Sometimes, The Joker&#8217;s disfigurement is portrayed as stemming from a fall into a vat of chemicals, sometimes, it&#8217;s just paint covering up some mystery scars.</p>
<p>Ultimately, none of this matters. The Joker is, at his very core, the personification of randomness and terror, he is a dog chasing cars, and he is Batman&#8217;s nemesis because he represents chaos. </p>
<p><b>Famous line:</b> &#8220;Do I really look like a guy with a plan?&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;Why so serious?&#8221;</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;Let her go.&#8221; &#8211; Batman, to which The Joker responded &#8220;Very poor choice of words!&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Dr. Otto &#8220;Doc Ock&#8221; &#8220;Dr. Octopus&#8221; Ocatvius</b></p>
<p>Apparently, my good man Otto had a turbulent upbringing, his father was abusive to him and his whore mother. Otto, like so many future super villains was shy and reclusive in school. Octo-cock became a brilliant and respected nuclear physicist, until an unfortunate accident caused his AI-controlled mechanical arms to fuse with his spine and meld with his personality, creating the super villain we know and cherish.</p>
<p>Sometimes, Octo-mom is played by Indiana Jones&#8217; betrayer from Raiders of the Lost Ark, that&#8217;s a pretty sweet movie.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>

<p><b>Chaotic Good Barbarian</b> &#8211; Description by Psycho Limey</p>
<p>Barbarians are the people of the wilderness for whom fighting is a way of life and a necessity. While the fighter hides behind an army and spends years training, the barbarian learned to fight when he opened the bathroom door to find his dad put a mountain lion in there. As a chaotic good barbarian there&#8217;s a code to his life that means he doesn&#8217;t go around betraying friends or murdering good folks, but heaven help you if you&#8217;re in his way. There&#8217;s been much debate on what the angriest person ever sounds like, some think tourettes with capslock. Anybody who knows real anger understands that when you&#8217;re swearing and shouting, you&#8217;re wasting energy that could be spent killing. Every breath wasted on words should have gone to driving your fist through someone&#8217;s ribcage or crushing a skull.</p>
<p>A fighter may mock the barbarians &#8220;stupidity&#8221; but the barbarian knows that the fighter will lose because he has to think his way through the fight. The barbarian was ready for every second of the battle since before puberty when he finished head-butting a mountain lion to death.</p>

<p><b>Master Chief</b> &#8211; Description by Weskimo</p>
<p>Standing seven feet tall and encased in gleaming, green armor, the Master Chief is the perfect professional.  Each mission is approached and executed with cool precision and, with a nearly flawless combat record, he is the &#8220;ace in the hole&#8221; of the UNSC. He and his fellow Spartan soldiers are a constant source of hope and confidence for the regular human military.  Called upon when the situation appears most desperate, the Master Chief delivers large-scale pain and obliterates the luckless aliens that get in the way of his missions. This towering, faceless supersoldier inspires awe and terror in his foes, earning himself the name of &#8220;the Demon&#8221; among his enemies. </p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;No way! A Spartan!? We&#8217;re gonna be ok!&#8221; &#8211; UNSC Marines &#8220;Don&#8217;t make the Demon angry!!!&#8221; &#8211; Grunt</p>

<p><b>Iron Man</b> &#8211; Description by Doug</p>
<p>Born Anthony Edward &#8220;Tony&#8221; Stark, the son of legendary weapons designer and industrialist Howard Stark, Tony quickly established himself as a boy genius. He constructs his first engine at nine, then at fifteen he enrolls at MIT to study electrical engineering, graduating summa cum laude shortly thereafter. While displaying a new line of weapons to NATO forces in Afghanistan, Stark is forced to create a powerful weapon. However, through sheer determination and brilliance Tony is able to design the first prototype Iron Man suit and escape. He goes on to refine the suit, and begin fighting terrorism and crime in earnest.</p>
<p>He can miniaturize an arc reactor in an Afghan cave. He once went twelve for twelve seducing Maxim cover models; failing only on March, but making up for it with December’s twins. His suit can out-fly, outfight and outclass any other weapon of the modern age. His top of the line modified 737 is stocked with colder booze and hotter flight attendants than you or I have ever seen. He is also currently in a relationship with the incredibly talented Pepper Pots, played by Gwyneth Paltrow. Booyah.</p>

<p><b>Lavos</b> &#8211; Description by Weskimo</p>
<p>The primary villain in Chrono Trigger, Lavos is an interplanetary parasite with near godly powers that crash lands into the planet in 65,000,000 B.C. with the intent to feed off of the planet&#8217;s energy.  Lavos laid dormant for millions of years, siphoning power from the earth, until he emerges in the year 1999 A.D. to wreak fiery havoc on the unsuspecting population, reducing the world to an apocalyptic wasteland.  Many foolish mortals have had the audacity to challenge Lavos over the millions of years that he has occupied the planet, and each time he comes forth only to deliver the beat down of a thousand lifetimes upon the unfortunate asshat who thinks he&#8217;s got enough game to take down the universe&#8217;s ultimate life form.  </p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;You fools!  I only summoned him!  He lives in the inner earth, absorbing the land&#8217;s power and growing ever stronger!&#8221; – Magus</p>

<p><b>Master Splinter</b></p>
<p>One man, alone in his basement seeks the cure for relief from his current assignment. That assignment, writing character descriptions. He finds the cure, it&#8217;s&#8230; it&#8217;s&#8230; Wikipedia. Somehow, as a goddamn rat, Splinter was able to learn how to be a ninja by studying his master&#8217;s work. As a rat. Sorry, not just a rat, but a rat intelligent for his species. Splinter was mutated along with the Ninja Turtles, but because of his age and skill, he became a father figure for the TMNT. He named them pretty well though, and he does have a pretty kickin&#8217; staff.</p>

<p><b>Sony PlayStation 2</b> &#8211; Description by Weskimo</p>
<p>The origins of the Playstation 2 have ever been shrouded in mystery and, until recently, had remained completely unchronicled.  The Playstation 2 had drifted aimlessly through the cosmos for untold years until, struck by a sudden surge of inspiration, it released a burst of powerful energy and created the sun and the Earth (those other planets were just accidents though. Nobody&#8217;s perfect, you know).  For the entirety of Earth&#8217;s history, the Playstation 2 has silently guided the evolutionary path of the world until the day when it could reveal itself and be recognized as the Overlord of Earth.</p>
<p>When the time came, the Playstation 2 allied itself with the electronics company called Sony and allowed itself to be the model for the perfect form of entertainment.  Since then, the console&#8217;s spawn have infiltrated the homes of more than 140 million humans, becoming the best-selling console ever.  At the hands of the Playstation 2, Nintendo suffered the worst type of suffering: shame.  Pure, eternal, overwhelming shame and embarrassment.  After feeding Nintendo his huge cock and becoming the epitome of gaming excellence, the Playstation 2 stood alone among destroyed and abandoned Cubes and Boxes and it knew it was that much closer to world domination.</p>
<p>The Playstation 2 is currently on a vacation somewhere in South America.  He&#8217;ll be back, though.</p>
<p>Little known facts:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Playstation 2 maintained a brief relationship with Angelina Jolie while she was on the set on Hackers in 1995, but broke it off because she was a gold digger.
<li>The Playstation 2 once bought a Gamecube, but he had it converted into a toilet.  It&#8217;s in his bathroom with his Xbox Jacuzzi.
<li>Several famous personalities have claimed to be the offspring of the Playstation 2 including: Antonio Banderas, Shia LaBeouf, the entire band of The Offspring, Jesus Christ (unconfirmed), and Neil Patrick Harris.  The Playstation 2 has no comment.

<p><b>Sir Michael Philip &#8220;Mick&#8221; Jagger</b></p>
<p>Mick Jagger has been the lead singer for The Rolling Stones since their formation 1962, heading what is arguably the biggest rock band in history. Mick&#8217;s concert touring has allowed him to bone many a woman, marry some, and impregnate a few others, he also may have nailed David Bowie.

<p><b>Lawful Good Paladin</b> &#8211; Description by Psycho Limey</p>
<p>A paladin is a warrior that is given his power by a god that he serves with absolute conviction. His role is simple, never give way to the forces of evil and stand for what is good and right in the world. A paladin would without pause give his life for an innocent and for his piety and faith receives the ability to deliver directly some serious holy wrath.</p>
<p>People are generally fairly disparaging of these holy warriors, especially the true &#8220;Lawful Stupid&#8221; Paladins. They point out how foolish zealotry is and that just because &#8220;god says so&#8221; doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s the right thing. They seem to forget one crucial thing. A Paladin is walking proof that their god is real, and that when he says &#8220;God will punish you&#8221; that means he is going to foot-rape your posterior with absolute authority. People quickly forget what real heroism is in a world without terror, and when hell bursts forth those detractors will be singing a different tune, because against hell&#8217;s endless legions, your strength will fail you. Against horrors that defy description, your mind will shatter. Only faith will prevail and so the paladin will be standing between you and obliteration, not because you are begging him to but because it is the right thing to do.</p>
<p><b>Famous quote:</b> &#8220;Blade with whom I have lived, blade with whom I now die, serve right and justice one last time, seek one last heart of evil, still one last life of pain, cut well old friend, and then farewell.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Special Move:</b> Hitting it like the fist of an angry god.</p>

<p><b>Peter &#8220;Spider-Man&#8221; Parker</b></p>
<p>Peter was a teenage rejection machine; his whininess was exceeded only by his nerdiness. All of that changed when he was bitten by a radioactive spider which equipped him with incredible powers of strength, agility, and most notably a precognitive spider-sense. His intelligence magnified these powers, allowing him to create a spider-web material that he could shoot from his wrists. This material has allowed him to swing through the streets of New York. Spider-Man has battled many freaks and mutants, including Doctor Octopus, Kingpin, Venom, Lizard, Sandman, and a multitude of Goblins.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;I missed the part where that&#8217;s my problem.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;With great power comes great responsibility.&#8221; &#8211; Uncle Ben</p>

<hr />
<p><b>Meriadoc &#8220;Merry&#8221; Brandybuck and Peregrin &#8220;Pippin&#8221; Took</b></p>
<p>Merry and Pippin are two of the most important members of the Fellowship of the Ring. They trek across Middle Earth just as the other characters do, but are the ones ultimately responsible for introducing the coolest of all races of Middle Earth to the War of the Ring, the Ents. They also round out the number of members in the fellowship to nine, important for symmetry with the nine Wring Wraiths.</p>
<p><b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;Oi! We&#8217;re coming too! You&#8217;ll have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us!&#8221;</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;No, indeed! It is hardly possible to separate you, even when he is summoned to a secret Council and you are not.&#8221; &#8211; Elrond</p>

<p><b>Ares, The Olympian God of War</b> &#8211; Description by Psycho Limey</p>
<p>During ancient times people actually got what it meant to be a warrior, they knew that badasses had to come from somewhere and Ares was the driving force behind true asskickers from many of the finest legends. The biggest thing to understand here is that Ares wasn&#8217;t just the god who inspired people to butcher everyone. Men actually prayed to him to help keep them calm when bloodlust came. As the patron of anger and violence it fell to him to calm tempers when there was no need for violence. Ares wasn&#8217;t all about wrecking shit, but he certainly did it better than any other. He once brutally murdered a man who raped his daughter, and was then acquitted of any wrong doing despite Poseidon bitching like a pussy that his son was killed. Some would point out that a greek god getting mad about rape is a little hypocritical but dare you to tell them that. Two of the man’s sons are called Phobos and Diemos, the gods of fear and terror. He is the father of the Amazons of legend and above all Ares is the deity of cock WARS by definition. Every warrior in this battle for supremacy must inevitably bend a knee to &#8220;Slaughter personified&#8221;, the &#8220;sceptred king of manliness&#8221;, Ares.</p>

<p><b>The United Federation of Planets</b></p>
<p>The United Federation of Planets is an interstellar federal polity totaling more than 150 member planets and thousands of colonies across the Alpha and Beta quadrants of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Federation was founded in 2161 by Earth, Vulcan, Andoria, and Tellar. The honor of these races is unquestionable. The military wing of the Federation is called Starfleet, which is tasked with defending freedom and the peace-loving peoples of The Federation from such villainous forces as the Borg, Dominion, Klingons, Cardassians, and Romulans.</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Creating almighty warships and never putting them into mass production so that they get rolled in early parts of wars.</p>

<p><b>Microsoft X-Box 360</b></p>
<p>The X-Box 360 is the repulsive love-child of Bill Gates and J Allard, who together forged a box of metal and plastic so wrought with evil that only bald space marines could traverse its nefarious interior. Sometimes, a 360 will become so disgusted with its own inadequacies as a game system that it will warp its interior components beyond functionality and display in shame a red ring of death.</p>

<p><b>Ellen Ripley</b> &#8211; Description by Psycho Limey</p>
<p>This is the woman that grizzly bears hire to babysit. Ripley is the main star of the Alien franchise of movies meaning she&#8217;s the only person to survive multiple encounters with a creature that actually scares rednecks. A current fad on the internet is &#8220;x apocalypse survival&#8221; with x being zombies, raptors, communists etc. Folks will always have some answer for these “end of days” scenarios. I have yet to see anyone come up with an answer other than &#8220;shoot myself&#8221; if up against creatures that Ripley has faced down numerous times. When everyone else was busy dying or freaking out Ripley was doing things like duct-taping multiple guns together. This woman actually killed herself solely to put an end to the aliens but that didn&#8217;t stop them so it sure as hell didn&#8217;t slow down her quest for genocide. After being cloned by the army to breed the aliens she ended up with a hint of alien DNA taking the mentally toughest women and making her crazier and superhuman enough that once a month, monsters have to hide under their bedcovers.</p>
<p><b>Famous quotes:</b> &#8220;I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It&#8217;s the only way to be sure.&#8221; In response to Dillon saying &#8220;&#8230;you don&#8217;t wanna know me, lady. I&#8217;m a murderer and rapist of women,&#8221; she responded &#8220;Really? [pause] Well, I guess I must make you nervous.&#8221; &#8220;Get away from her you BITCH&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Hudson</b></p>
<p>Hudson is a member of the Manhattan Clan of Gargoyles, and the former leader of the Wyvern Clan. In 994 AD, he, along with the other Gargoyles, was turned to stone, until such time that the Scottish castle in which he lived would be raised above the clouds. Ultimately, this was accomplished when David Xanatos, master of money and cock, rebuilt the castle atop his gargantuan skyscraper. Despite the obvious bad-assery of his eye-scar, Hudson prefers to allow his age dominate his behavior, and lazily watches TV while the other Gargoyles dick around New York City.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;Movies, television, video games&#8230; these days, it&#8217;s hard to tell what&#8217;s real and what&#8217;s not.&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Solid Snake</b> &#8211; Description by Weskimo</p>
<p>The all-in-one special ops agent, spy, mercenary, and ladies man, Solid Snake is the main protagonist of the Metal Gear series, and is repeatedly charged with defeating the latest Metal Gear mechs, averting nuclear disasters, and saving the world.  Snake is known as the best of the best.  He&#8217;s a legend among new recruits to the special ops world, and is even forced out of retirement to eliminate the remainder of FOXHOUND when the special ops unit goes rogue.  Snake single-handedly infiltrates an island fortress, smuggles in some cigarettes, takes out each FOXHOUND member, kills his brother, and wipes the floor with a ten-story nuclear-equipped mech, all the while hitting on 3 different women.  Yes, he <i>is</i> that damned awesome.</p>
<p><b>Famous Lines:</b> &#8220;Ha ha, I told you. The real me is no match for the legend.&#8221; &#8220;You know a lot about science, but you don&#8217;t know how good a cigarette tastes in the morning.&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m just a man who&#8217;s good at what he does: Killing.&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Hellboy</b> &#8211; Description by Doug</p>
<p>Hellboy was conceived over 300 years ago by the witch Catherine Tanner-Tremaine, and a Demon Prince of Sheol. He was summoned to our plane of existence by the Nazi’s during their failed attempt to turn the tide of WWII: Project Ragna Rock. Adopted by professor Broom and the Special Forces soldiers who foiled the Nazi ploy, Hellboy went on to become an integral part of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, where he continues to toil today, thumping the things that go bump in the night.</p>
<p>Among Hellboy&#8217;s more obvious powers are superhuman strength and resistance to physical injury. Hellboy has been shown to tear down a large tree and hurl it as a weapon, as well as cars, and toss opponents weighing several hundred pounds many yards away with one hand. Hellboy&#8217;s right hand, referred to as the &#8220;Right Hand of Doom&#8221;, is effectively invulnerable and feels no pain, serving much like a sledgehammer when used to punch an enemy. And he’s tapping a chick who can spontaneously combust. Hot.</p>

<hr />
<p><b>Mongol Cavalry</b> &#8211; Description by Doug</p>
<p>Mongol Cavalry were the backbone of Genghis Khan’s ascent to power. Grown from hard fighting clansmen, these warriors could time their shots so that they let loose the arrows only during the perfect calm that exists when all four of the horse’s hooves leave the ground. The number of significant battles they lost during the 13th century can be counted on one hand.</p>
<p>These were the baddest mother fuckers to ever ride horses. Each warrior maintained 3-4 horses, and could live off the land for weeks at a time, often subsisting only on the milk their mare would provide. For training, the Mongol horsemen would make a great circle, and drive all manner of animals in towards the center, and on the order of their commander, begin the slaughter. If any hunter killed any creature before the appointed time, or if one allowed an animal to escape from the ring, they would be punished. This was an excellent way for the Mongols to train, and enjoy the recreation of hunting, as well as gather huge amounts of food for massive feasts.</p>

<p><b>Warren Buffet</b> &#8211; Description by Doug</p>
<p>In 1943 Warren Buffet filed his first tax return at the age of 13, claiming his bike and watch ($35) as a business expense of his paper route. In his freshman year he spent, $25 to put a pinball machine in a barber shop, and soon expanded to three additional locations. Through extraordinary investing abilities, he became the richest man in the world in 2008.<br />
Warren still lives in the home he purchased for $31,500 in 1958. Since his wife’s death in 2006, he has announced plans to give 85% of his $58-62 Billion away to various charities. This largely part of his personal dislike of dynastic wealth or what he calls: &#8220;members of the lucky sperm club.&#8221;</p>

<hr />
<p><b>Oswald Chesterfield &#8220;Penguin&#8221; Cobblepot</b></p>
<p>The Penguin is able to cause horrible chaos in the streets of Gotham City despite being a disgusting, nearly-spherically fat, chain smoker whose only weapon is an umbrella gun. The penguin&#8217;s true strength comes from his laugh, which can be written as &#8220;waugh waugh,&#8221; although that does not truly give justice to the glory and strength of the villainous cackle. In addition to his umbrella, The Penguin also wears a top hat, tuxedo, and monocle, which combine to illustrate his gentlemanly qualities. The Penguin&#8217;s anger stems from the bullying which he endured as a child, a pain which could understandably cause any man to crack and become unstable. If only The Penguin could have been born later, he might have been able to express his feelings on the internet.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;I just want to know&#8230; why they did what they felt they had to do&#8230; to a child who was born&#8230; a little different. A child&#8230; who spent his first Christmas &#8211; and many since &#8211; in a sewer&#8230;&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Bill &#8220;The Science Guy&#8221; Nye</b> &#8211; Description by Doug</p>
<p>The celebrated host of “Bill Nye: The Science Guy”, Bill has brought scientific knowledge to young people the world over. His unusual style and [and not a] giant rat sidekick [who is on Beakman's World, not Bill Nye the Science Guy] led the way for Mythbusters and all other manner of fun to watch science shows.</p>
<p>He began his career a Boeing, where he designed hydraulic pressure resonance suppressor still used in the Boeing 747. Every couple of years he applies to be a NASA astronaut, but has always been rejected.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is Cock Wars?</strong><br />
Cock Wars is the ultimate battle for supremacy in the universe. Competitors use their strength of dong to claim superiority over others.</p>
<p><strong>How does it work?</strong><br />
I will post the polls in the Cock Wars 2009 forum, you vote for who you think is the most awesome in each, the winner moves on to the next round. Polls will run for a full week, and, until the final, four will be posted at a time.</p>
<p><span id="more-694"></span><br />
<strong>How do I vote?</strong><br />
You must register a forums account to vote. Since the polls are also forums threads, you can post promotional items, and bitch merrily as the polls run. I personally accept and decline all new registrants to the forums, so I&#8217;ll know if you&#8217;re trying to cheat by registering extra accounts.</p>
<p><strong>Who is eligible for Cock Wars 2009?</strong><br />
Basically any real person or fictional character or organization ever is a viable contestant. Historical figures, real or fake company mascots, movie characters, comic book characters, book characters, TV show hosts, video game characters, etc. Anybody you can think of! No repeats from Cock Wars 2006, 2007, or 2008 are allowed.</p>
<p>The full bracket will be viewable <a href="http://www.shufflingdead.com/Cockwars/Grid09.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>How many contestants will there be?</strong><br />
64 contestants, with four entrants per poll.</p>
<p><strong>How long will it last?</strong><br />
Less than two months!</p>
<p><strong>When does it start?</strong><br />
The first four polls will open Monday, March 16, 2009. Those polls will be closed the following Monday, when four new polls will open.</p>
<p><strong>Will I hate you, this website, and humanity when this is all over?</strong><br />
The hatred over Cock Wars has subsided in recent years.</p>
<p><strong>You used to do character descriptions, what happened?</strong><br />
I stopped writing those because it was driving me insane. I&#8217;m considering bringing it back, but only if I can get some help with the writing, <a href="http://forums.shufflingdead.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&amp;t=1679">more info here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As with all things in life, so too must the third year of Cock Wars come to an end. Unbelievable though it may be, victor of Cock Wars 2008: Revenge of the Wang is Korben Dallas, cab driver.</p>
<p>This year began far later than was planned, as I initially felt pretty uninspired about doing it. I was eventually harassed into starting things up though, and I’m glad I was, as this year turned out to be pretty fun. Plenty of people voted, and there was no cheating. If only Yoda could have won.</p>
<p>In something less than a year Cock Wars 2009: A New Penis will begin!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>What is Cock Wars?</b><br />
Cock Wars is the ultimate battle for supremacy in the universe.</p>
<p>
<b>How does it work?</b><br />
I post polls on the forums, you vote for who you think is the most awesome in each, the winner moves on to the next round. Polls will run for a full week, and, until the final, four will be posted at a time. The first four polls will open Monday, March 24, those polls will be closed the following Monday, when four new polls will open.</p>
<p>
<b>Who is eligible for Cock Wars 2008?</b><br />
Basically any real person or fictional character ever is a viable contestant. Historical figures, real or fake company mascots, movie characters, comic book characters, book characters, tv show hosts, video game characters, etc. Anybody you can think of! No repeats from Cock Wars 2006 or 2007 are allowed.</p>
<p>
The full bracket will be viewable <a href="http://www.shufflingdead.com/Cockwars/Grid08.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>
<b>How many contestants will there be?</b><br />
64 contestants, with four entrants per poll.</p>
<p>
<b>How long will it last?</b><br />
Less than two months!</p>
<p>
<b>Can I spam the poll or otherwise cheat?</b><br />
Fuck no. The polls are being conducted on the forums this year, which means only registered members can vote, and only once. I personally accept and decline all new registrants to the forums, so I&#8217;ll know if you&#8217;re trying to register extra accounts just to cheat.</p>
<p>
<b>When does it start?</b><br />
Monday, March 24, 2008.</p>
<p>
<b>Will I hate you, this website, and humanity when this is all over?</b><br />
Without a doubt.</p>
<p>
<b>Anything else?</b><br />
I will post the polls in the Cock Wars 2008 forum, the threads will be linked to from the front page, but you must register a forums account to vote. Since the polls are also forums threads, you can post promotional items, and bitch merrily as the polls run.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And so concludes the second official year of Cock Wars. The ethereal champion of Cock Wars 2007: Attack of the Dicks is Gandalf, unkillable wizard and pipe smoker.</p>
<p>
This year featured far less controversy than last year, and I don&#8217;t even hate anyone or want to stop doing Cock Wars. Gandalf was crowned fairly, and he is the undeniable victor. Both his cock and his beard reign supreme.</p>
<p>
I hope that next year will be as fun and relaxing as this year has been. In approximately 300 days Cock Wars 2008: Revenge of the Wang will begin.</p>

<p><b>Cap&#8217;n Crunch</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Oh captain, my Cap&#8217;n Crunch battles the forces of sogginess in order to cut the mouth roofs of children everywhere. He keeps his eyebrows on his hat, as all good cartoon seamen do. Somewhere between now and the year 3000 he will be promoted to admiral, proving his immortality.</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Giving toy whistles to potential hackers, inspiring them to get free phone calls. These hackers probably hang out with Steve Jobs and Woz.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Carlton Banks</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Carlton Banks is the staunchly Republican frenemy of Will Smith. His favourite musician is Tom Jones and his favourite actor is god and creator of the universe, William Shatner.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;How&#8217;s it going there Will?&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Carlton dance.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR><br />
<span id="more-341"></span></p>
<p><b>Sauron &#8220;The Necromancer&#8221;</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Sauron is a Maia, who, without physical form, managed to build a mighty empire of Orcs and other more ghastly creatures, threatening the whole of Middle Earth. His strength is so great that only by throwing his Ring of Power into the fires of Mount Doom can he be defeated.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.&#8221; Translated as: &#8220;One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;My master Sauron bids thee welcome.&#8221; &#8211; Mouth Of Sauron &#8220;In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master ring, to control all others. And into this Ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life.&#8221; &#8211; Narrator</p>
<p><b>Special moves:</b> Tricking Elves into making some rings to manipulate and control the races of Middle Earth. Losing the most powerful ring to a green dude with a speech impediment.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Léon the Professional</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Léon is a detached and emotionless killer who shows sexism and compassion by not going after women or children. Much like Korben Dallas and The Transporter, Léon&#8217;s steely facade is melted when he meets a seemingly innocent, but ultimately remarkable young woman. Natalie Portman found him attractive, but it might not count because she was 12 at the time.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> When asked &#8220;Is life always this hard, or is it just when you&#8217;re a kid?&#8221; He responds &#8220;Always like this.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Shooting while hanging upside down.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Geno</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Geno is a doll, possessed by a Star agent sent to recover the Star Peices. His real name is not only unpronounceable, but also untypable in a Notepad document. His role in Mario&#8217;s Legend of the Seven Stars is integral, as he is the only character who does decent magic damage. Actually, he does more than decent damage, and single-handedly breaks the game and makes it incredibly easy.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;I serve&#8230; a higher authority&#8230;&#8221; </p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Geno Flash.</p>

<p><b>Lieutenant Commander Data</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Data is a Soong type android who serves as operations manager, chief science officer, and second officer under Captain Jean-Luc Picard aboard the USS Enterprise. He is fully functional, in every way of course. He has been intimate with a broad range of women, including Tasha Yar and the Borg Queen. The fact that he is an android, incapable of emotion, is his primary draw for women, as they have been taught through a gendering process to find emotionless men attractive. This is proven when the altogether more emotional and human Geordi LaForge fails repeatedly and utterly with women. That a fake man has no problem fucking real women while a real man is forced to fuck fake women should be pondered with a heavy heart by all women of the world, hopefully it will inspire them to cast off the yoke of gender oppression and have sex with the Geordi LaForge&#8217;s of their lives. Data has a large family, two brothers, one maniacal and one dim-witted, and a short-lived daughter. He was built by Dr. Noonien Soong, considered to be Data&#8217;s father, who descends from Arik Soong of the 22nd century.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;Blown, sir.&#8221; &#8220;Oh, shit!&#8221;</p>

<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Dr. Ian Malcolm</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Dr. Malcolm is a brilliant chaotician who is suckered into visiting John Hammond&#8217;s Jurassic Park. Somehow, his extreme brilliance doesn&#8217;t stop him from getting killed by dinosaurs, getting brought back to life, and then hanging out with dinosaurs again.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;The lack of humility before nature that&#8217;s being displayed here, uh&#8230; staggers me.&#8221; &#8220;She&#8217;s&#8230; ah&#8230; tenacious.&#8221; &#8220;No, I&#8217;m simply saying that life, uh&#8230; finds a way.&#8221; &#8220;Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn&#8217;t stop to think if they should.&#8221; &#8220;But, John. But if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don&#8217;t eat the tourists.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Getting more screen time by saying &#8220;uh.&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Description:</b> Scrooge McDuck is an incredibly wealthy cheap bastard. His estimated net worth is one multiplujillion, nine obsquatumatillion, six hundred twenty-three dollars and sixty-two cents. One might think the gold in Scrooge&#8217;s Money Bin is the majority of his wealthy, but that is only the money he has earned personally, and most of his financial holdings are invested elsewhere.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;I can&#8217;t go on like this &#8211; losing a billion dollars a minute! I&#8217;ll be broke in 600 years!&#8221;</p>

<p><HR></p>
<p><b>The Brain</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> The Brain is the pre-eminent mastermind of micekind. When famed author Douglas Adams claims that mice are the smartest creatures on Earth, he is actually citing the average IQ of all mice, including The Brain&#8217;s.

<p><b>Description:</b> Bebop and Rocksteady are mutated members of a street gang, so masculine that they actually volunteered. Formerly human, they are now an anthropomorphic warthog and rhinoceros respectively. This animal-esque appearance makes them the fantasy of some 90% of all internet users. One can only imagine the sexual force these two yield. I can picture some finger cuffs action going on, with possible high-fives over the back.</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Incompetence.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Alex J. &#8220;RoboCop&#8221; Murphy</b></p>

<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;PLEASE PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON. YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS TO COMPLY.&#8221; &#8211; ED-209</p>

<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Obi-Wan Kenobi</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> I would describe Mr. Kenobi in detail, but I would prefer to let him do the talking.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;You don&#8217;t want to sell me death sticks. You want to go home and rethink your life.&#8221; &#8220;You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness!&#8221; &#8220;Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.&#8221; &#8220;These are not the droids you&#8217;re looking for.&#8221; &#8220;I feel a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.&#8221; &#8220;That&#8217;s no moon, it&#8217;s a space station.&#8221; &#8220;Who&#8217;s more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows him?&#8221; &#8220;Use the Force, Luke.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Jedi mind tricks.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>John &#8220;Ray&#8221; Arnold</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> John, and sometimes Ray, Arnold is a technological wizard thwarted only by fat men and velociraptors. Even after his body is eaten, his arm is able to console Dr. Ellie Sattler until she discovers his body is gone, at which point she twirls around and screams.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;I can&#8217;t get Jurassic Park back online without Dennis Nedry.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Battle cries:</b> &#8220;Hold onto your butts.&#8221; &#8220;PLEASE! GODAMMIT! I hate this hacker crap!&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Accessing main program.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Kane</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> They say he&#8217;s &#8220;the nefarious and seemingly immortal mastermind behind the ancient and secretive Brotherhood of Nod society&#8221; and I choose to believe that. He once acted as Stalin&#8217;s advisor and &#8220;he was the true power behind Stalin and used the USSR.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;If I&#8217;m cut, do I not bleed?&#8221; &#8220;He who controls the past commands the future. He who commands the future conquers the past.&#8221; [Editors note: this guy needs to look up the shit he's trying to quote, at least he's trying I guess.]</p>
<p><b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;Kane&#8230; LIVES!&#8221;</p>

<p><b>Special move:</b> I have vague recollections of a gun that looked like a Lego gun I have.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Lydia Deetz</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Lydia Deetz was theoretically portrayed by a seventeen year old, so, you know, she&#8217;s legal. She&#8217;s also a goth whose pass times include hanging out with dead people and complaining.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake it all the time. Work, work, work, Senora, work your body line. Work, work, work, Senora, work it all the time.&#8221;</p>

<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Sigmund Freud</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Freudian slip. Oedipal complex. Psychoanalysis. You would not know what these things were if it were not for Freud. If he didn&#8217;t invent them, he popularized them.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;The only unnatural sexual behavior is none at all.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;He had a sharp vision; no illusions lulled him to sleep except for an often exaggerated faith in his own ideas.&#8221; &#8211; Albert Einstein</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Smoking a &#8220;cigar.&#8221;</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Krang</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Wikipedia says &#8220;Krang is an extremely intelligent warlord from Dimension X.&#8221; They also describe him as a &#8220;supervillain.&#8221; I don&#8217;t know how to say it any better than that. Krang resides in an exosuit which resembles a deformed wrestler. It can grow massively into city-destroying proportions. His exosuit is a mere replacement for his former body, and all of Krang&#8217;s flesh that still exists is actually pure brain. Somehow his brain has tentacle arms.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;I want that robot!&#8221;</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;Now Krang, you can&#8217;t have everything you see on TV!&#8221; &#8211; Shredder</p>

<p><b>Kool-Aid Man</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> The Kool-Aid Man is a walking, running, talking, wall-breaking badass with Kool-Aid enough for all the bastard children of the world.</p>

<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Turanga Leela</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Leela is the one-eyed captain of The Planet Express Ship. She is the most human mutant that has ever been born in the sewers of New New York. She once had sex with the second greatest man of all time, Zapp Brannigan, and once made out with the greatest man of all time, William Shatner.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;Now all the planets are going to start cracking wise about our mothers.&#8221; &#8220;Axe.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Flying battle kick.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR><br />
<span id="more-336"></span></p>
<p><b>Donald Duck</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Donald is a furious duck, short of temper, biding his time before he can overthrow Mickey Mouse for ultimate control of the empire of Disney. Ebenezer Scrooge once rejected an invitation to Donald&#8217;s house for Christmas dinner.</p>
<p><b>Battle cry:</b> Incomprehensible quacking.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Megabyte</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Megabyte is the brilliant and over-all awesome virus of Mainframe. His greatness is so large that it entirely overshadows that of the other virus living in Mainframe, Hexadecimal. He seeks dominance over Mainframe and to transform it into the orderly Megaframe.</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Retractable yellow claws of rape.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Chef Torte</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Chef Torte is a baker so superb that he once managed to make a living cake. He looks like a Koopa, but for some reason speaks with a German accent. If Chef Torte ever falls off a ladder, spectators will be forced to say &#8220;see ya ladder Chef Torte.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;I vant to be a vald class-baker.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;Zee cake&#8217;s alive! RUN!!&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Baking, you got a problem with that?</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Selene</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Selene is the hottest fucking vampire of all time. She wears this tight fucking black leather which shows off her ridiculously hot vampire body.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;I am a Death Dealer, sworn to destroy those known as the Lycans. Our war has waged for centuries, unseen by human eyes. But all that is about to change.&#8221; </p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Moving at all. Not moving, also. Seriously, it hurts just thinking about how hot she is.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Albert Einstein</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Einstein is undoubtedly the most famous scientist of all time. He encouraged development of the atomic bomb, though later regretted it. He came up with the general theory of relativity, and somehow figured out that going really fast makes you move slower in time. Einstein was Time magazine&#8217;s man of the 20th century.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;God does not play dice.&#8221; &#8220;I do not know how the Third World War will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;E=mc2&#8243;</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;He was the embodiment of pure intellect, the bumbling professor with the German accent, a comic cliche in a thousand films. Instantly recognizable, like Charlie Chaplin&#8217;s Little Tramp, Albert Einstein&#8217;s shaggy-haired visage was as familiar to ordinary people as to the matrons who fluttered about him in salons from Berlin to Hollywood. Yet he was unfathomably profound&#8211;the genius among geniuses who discovered, merely by thinking about it, that the universe was not as it seemed.&#8221; &#8211; Time Magazine</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Being impersonated in a mediocre Meg Ryan movie.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Lieutenant Junior Grade Reginald &#8220;Reg&#8221; Endicott Barclay &#8220;Broccoli&#8221; III </b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> To say that Barclay is a great man is absurd, and even saying that he is the greatest man is an understatement. The English language is incapable of expressing just how great Barclay is. His cock is not of the universe, the universe is of his cock. He has been through many hardships, he was once turned into a giant spider, and his IQ was once made 1025, a severe lowering, I assure you. He was an amazing engineer aboard the Enterprise, and even met Zephram Cochrane on one of their missions. He also played a vital role in returning Voyager to Earth.</p>
<p><b>Battle cry:</b> Incoherent stuttering.</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;Broccoli.&#8221; &#8211; Jean-Luc Picard</p>
<p><b>Special moves:</b> Seeing worm guys in the transporter. Two-handed punch.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Alex Trebek</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Alex Trebek is the god of trivia, the overlord of Jeopardy! itself. He is a formerly honourable man who betrayed his fans when he shaved his iconic moustache and became an American citizen.</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;Shuck it Trebek&#8221; &#8211; Sean Connery</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Telling you you&#8217;re wrong over and over until you cry.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Craw Wurm</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Creature &#8211; Wurm, power: 6, toughness: 4.</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;The most terrifying thing about the Craw Wurm is probably the horrible crashing sound it makes as it speeds through the forest. This noise is so loud it echoes through the trees and seems to come from all directions at once.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Tapping to attack.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Steven Q. Urkel </b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Steve Urkel is an inventor extraordinaire, his inventions include a machine which can transform a human being into an entirely different person, a time machine, a shrinking machine, and a cloning machine. He once fucked a chick with a huge rack.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;Did I do that?&#8221; &#8220;Got any cheese?&#8221; </p>
<p><b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;If you want to do the Steve Urkel dance, all you have to do is hitch up your pants, bend your knees, and stick out your pelvis; (I&#8217;m telling you, baby, it&#8217;s better than Elvis!)&#8221;</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Gandalf &#8220;Mithrandir&#8221; &#8220;Greyhame&#8221; &#8220;the Grey&#8221; &#8220;Stormcrow&#8221;</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Gandalf is a Maiar of Valinor, one of five sent to Middle Earth, and the only one not to stray. He wields the second greatest cane of all time.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;There is only one Lord of the Ring, only one who can bend it to his will, and he does not share power!&#8221; &#8220;All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.&#8221; &#8220;If in doubt, Meriadoc, always follow your nose.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Battle cry:</b> &#8220;YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!&#8221;</p>
<p><b>What others are saying:</b> &#8220;Your love of the halflings&#8217; leaf has clearly slowed your mind.&#8221; &#8211; Saruman &#8220;I will break him.&#8221; &#8211; The Witch-king of Angmar</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Talking to moths.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>John Hammond</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Hammond is the exceedingly wealthy owner and founder of InGen, a company which managed to extract dinosaur DNA from mosquitoes preserved in amber and then used it to clone living dinosaurs. He is a visionary unmatched, and lets you know it by wearing a beard, all white clothing, and the greatest cane of all time.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;Spared no expense.&#8221; &#8220;Welcome&#8230; to Jurassic Park!&#8221; &#8220;Dennis&#8230; our lives are in your hands, and you have butterfingers?&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Random canings.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>The &#8220;T-800&#8243; Terminator</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> The Terminator is a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 android made of a metal alloy endoskeleton with living tissue overtop.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;I&#8217;ll be back.&#8221; &#8220;Hasta la vista, baby!&#8221; &#8220;I now know why you cry, but it is something I can never do.&#8221; </p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> Fucking up some shit.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Harry and Marv</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Harry and Marv, known as the &#8220;Wet Bandits&#8221; are a pair of robbers in such incredible physical condition that they have survived being hit in the face by paint cans, having book shelves fall on them, and having their hair lit on fire.</p>

<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Severus Snape</b></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>What is Cock Wars?</b><br />
Cock Wars is the ultimate battle for supremacy in the universe.</p>
<p>
<b>How does it work?</b><br />
I post a poll on the forums, you vote for who you think is the most awesome, the winner moves on to the next round. Polls will run for 48 hours. The first poll will open Friday, February 2, 2007, and they&#8217;ll go up each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, hopefully around the same time each day. Sunday will be a day of rest for Cock Wars.</p>
<p>
<b>Who is eligible for Cock Wars 2007?</b><br />
Basically any real person or fictional character ever is a viable contestant. Historical figures, real or fake company mascots, movie characters, comic book characters, book characters, tv show hosts, video game characters, etc. Anybody you can think of! No repeats from Cock Wars 2006 are allowed.</p>
<p>
Nominations for entrants can be made <a href="http://forums.shufflingdead.com/viewtopic.php?t=1064">here</a>.</p>
<p>
The full bracket will be viewable <a href="http://www.shufflingdead.com/Cockwars/Grid07.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>
<b>How many contestants will there be?</b><br />
64 contestants. Four entrants per poll until the competitors have been narrowed down to the final four, and then there will be two entrants per poll.</p>
<p>
<b>How long will it last?</b><br />
About two months.</p>
<p>
<b>Can I spam the poll or otherwise cheat?</b><br />
Fuck no. The polls are being conducted on the <a href="http://forums.shufflingdead.com">forums</a> this year, which means only registered members can vote, and only once. I personally accept and decline all new registrants to the forums, so I&#8217;ll know if you&#8217;re trying to register extra accounts just to cheat.</p>
<p>
<b>When does it start?</b><br />
Friday, February 2, 2007.</p>
<p>
<b>What if I don&#8217;t know who the contestants are?</b><br />
I&#8217;ll do a write-up for each character before they&#8217;re in any poll. I also promise to not do the write-ups at the very last possible minute so that they&#8217;re not full of grammatical errors.</p>
<p>
<b>Will I hate you, this website, and humanity when this is all over?</b><br />
Without a doubt.</p>
<p>
<b>Anything else?</b><br />
I will post a new thread in the <a href="http://forums.shufflingdead.com/viewforum.php?f=12">Cock Wars 2007 forum</a> for each contest which will also contain the poll. The thread will be linked to from the front page, but you must register a forums account to vote. Since the polls are also forums threads, you can post promotional items and bitch merrily as the polls run.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first official year of Cock Wars has ended, and the grand champion of Cock Wars 2006: The Phantom Phallus is none other than William T. Riker, legendary first officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D.</p>
<p>This year was chock full cock fighting, and a winner was crowned only after much controversy. Three favourites were disqualified for evidence of cheating: Infested Kerrigan, Mr. Spock, and Evil Dead&#8217;s Ash.</p>
<p>Next year promises to be filled with even more excitement, boredom, and bullshit as in a mere twelve months we will be ready for Cock Wars 2007: Attack of the Dicks.</p>

<p><b>Jack &#8220;Mr. Box&#8221; in the Box</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> Jack is the CEO of the Jack in the Box, a vast chain of restaurants. Through Jack&#8217;s impeccable suaveness, the company has endured great controversy, and continues to serve food which I have never eaten.</p>
<p><b>Special move:</b> E. coli.</p>
<p><BR clear="all"></p>
<p><HR></p>
<p><b>Zapp &#8220;The Zapper&#8221; Brannigan</b></p>
<p><b>Description:</b> The Zapper is a brilliant 25 star General and Captain of the starship Nimbus for the Democratic Order of Planets. He has great skills with the ladies, as witnessed by his seduction of the one-eyed Leela. His tactics for seduction vary, though he did use guilt to get Leela, an honorable tactic. Additionally, he runs a website, not an easy task, I assure you.</p>
<p><b>Famous lines:</b> &#8220;Captain&#8217;s journal. Stardate &#8230; uh &#8230; April 13.2. We have failed to uphold Brannigan&#8217;s Law. However, I did make it with a hot alien babe.

He would return to serve under Kirk several more times, including during a trip through time to the 1980&#8242;s which resulted in saving the United Federation of Planets from certain doom. Just previous to this, Spock actually died and was resurrected, much like a religious prophet, which I believe him to be. Spock would go on to become an ambassador to Romulus, and worked with the likes of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>What is Cock Wars?</b><br />
Cock Wars: Grand Battle of the Republic is something that we ran on the site a couple years ago, you can relive the glory <a href="http://shufflingdead.com/Cockwars/Original.php">here</a>.</p>
<p><b>How does it work?</b><br />
I post a poll on the front page, you vote for who you think is the most awesome, the winner moves on to the next round. Polls will run for 48 hours. The first poll will open on a Monday and they&#8217;ll go up each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, hopefully at around the same time each day. Sunday will be the day of rest for Cock Wars.</p>
<p><b>Why bother doing it again?</b><br />
Cock Wars 2006 is going to be the first of the new generation of Cock Wars, it, like all future Cock Wars, will be awesome.</p>
<p><b>So this is going to happen how often?</b><br />
I plan on running it annually from now on.</p>
<p><b>Who is eligible for Cock Wars 2006?</b><br />
Basically any real person or fictional character ever is a viable contestant. Historical figures, real or fake company mascots, movie characters, comic book characters, book characters, tv characters (cartoon or live action), video game characters, religious figures and deities, computer programmers, webmasters, etc. Anybody you can think of! Repeats from original Cock Wars are allowed, however there will be no repeats year-to-year of the new generation Cock Wars contests.</p>
<p>The full bracket can be viewed <a href="http://www.shufflingdead.com/Cockwars/Grid06.html">here</a>.</p>
<p><b>How many contestants will there be?</b><br />
64, that&#8217;s twice as many as last time. This will probably take way less time though, since the polls are open for a set amount of time and new ones will be posted so regularly.</p>
<p><b>How long will it last?</b><br />
However long it takes to run the 23 polls.</p>
<p><b>Can I spam the poll like last time?</b><br />
Unfortunately, it looks like the poll software won&#8217;t allow such rape. Guess your favourite will just have to win the old fashioned way.</p>
<p><b>When does it start?</b><br />
The contest begins on Monday, March 13, 2006.</p>
<p><b>Will I hate you, this website, and humanity when this is all over?</b><br />
Most likely, yes, you will.</p>
<p><b>Anything else?</b><br />
I will post a new thread in the <a href="http://shufflingdead.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=10">Cock Wars 2006 forum</a> when each new contest is opened. Get ready to defend your favourites not just in poll-voting form, but in post-spamming anger as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All right yeh bastards, after the bizarre success of my current poll, and with a bit inspiration from that gamefaqs.com &#8220;battle of the video game characters&#8221; thing they had over the summer I have created the Cock Wars.  I&#8217;m too lazy to explain all the rules right now but you should be able to figure out most of those on your own.</p>
<p>
Essentially, every week I&#8217;m going to put up a poll asking a question along the lines of &#8220;who has the biggest cock?&#8221; everybody spams the poll until I close it and the winner moves onto the next round. Myself and the 3 members of my &#8220;staff&#8221; will decide who goes in the polls but chances are if you bitch enough about how somebody should be in the poll, we&#8217;ll put them in.   I&#8217;ll be putting up a new poll every Saturday night, which means the second one will be put up Sometime on September 21, 2002, probably really late.</p>
<p>You can see the current bracket thing, whatever it&#8217;s called, right <a href="http://www.shufflingdead.com/Cockwars/Battle.html" target="_blank">here</a>.  Chances are you&#8217;ll have to scroll around on it, since I have a nice big fat monitor and a big fat resolution and it barely fits for me, but bitching is for those who aren&#8217;t voting enough.  As you can see, most of the contestants haven&#8217;t even been picked yet so WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN HO HO HO.  I&#8217;ll be putting in pictures of the contestants and descriptions when I get around to it (probably Saturday as well).</p>
