To the tune of three packs a day.<BR/>("marl" is actually another word for fertizer, and we all know where fertilizer comes from...and "boro", well, a small donkey.<BR/>Reckon that means marlboros are really donkey poop?)<BR/>(actually, a jackass used to be smarter than me. Even though I went to school and all, they never smoked cigarettes)<BR/><BR/>So, as for fictional or non-fictional, my call is that we make real whom we choose to make real.<BR/>Me personally, I like the idea of honor. If the character stands honorably then they are a hero to me.bonemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615987464724590203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23068833.post-86632763748819071082007-08-20T19:04:00.000-07:002007-08-20T19:04:00.000-07:00maya the bee (Die Biene Maya), Pippi Longstocking,...maya the bee (Die Biene Maya), Pippi Longstocking, various grimm's fairy tales, peter pan (ferget wendy), winnetou, ummm.... siddhartha (hesse), rhett butler (better hide your man..;)...), huckleberry finn ..., etc., etc., <BR/>all the above read in german as a child and youthdarkfoamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394546886035933252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23068833.post-53138235988919674882007-08-20T09:24:00.000-07:002007-08-20T09:24:00.000-07:00Aslan made an impact that still marks me to this d...Aslan made an impact that still marks me to this day. No other character in a story ever made more of an impression on me.<BR/>His portrait hangs over my desk in my office downstairs.<BR/><BR/>I loved fairy tales as a kid (and I still do) and devoured as many as I could, but none were real to me. Aslan was real though...<BR/>To me he still is-Mayden' s Voyagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169575773884459343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23068833.post-7126901326430698432007-08-20T09:18:00.000-07:002007-08-20T09:18:00.000-07:00Red???

I was a big Atlas Shrugged fan too--still like the personal responsibility message--git off yore own duff sorta stuff, ya know? <BR/><BR/>I also read We the Living--Young Aunty Belle was a MAJOR anti- commie sort....as fer Rand's focus on what we'uns now call "rugged individualism" I'se not so favorable to that ideology iffin' it is defined as "ter hell wif' ever'body else."
