Santa Claus cried when he found out Cole Hamels DID exist...out of fear

-Oh man, Gossip Girl is totally owning me. I hope I get a Barnes & Noble gift card for Xmas, so I can buy the rest of the series. I have seven or eight books. I mean, even though the books and movies aren't all that similar. I can't remember the last time I watched a series and truly cared about all the characters, even the ones I "hate", or a

Um. Maddux? :D

[poisonavery]

Why is everyone so fascinated with Maddux? And by everyone I mean you an' Sheep.

Anyway.

1. three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon: That his toughest loss to deal with was Game 6 of the 93 NLCS. That he'll pick his brother's brain for pitching advice for an opponent before he goes to Tom or Smoltz or whoevs. That a lot of the time he keeps his mouth shut about giving Tom personal advice because, even though Tom might not believe it, he feels awkward doing so ever since the whole '93 predicament.
2. a reason he/she sucks: Well, he finds humor in everything, and sometimes to a fault. At least re: the whole Tom thing. Tom thinks so, anyway.
3. a reason he/she is awesomecakes: Because he can get away with being so honest to his buddies. AND IT'S HILARIOUS.
4. five things that never happened to that character: Anything in Vegas that should stay in Vegas. Never won a Pennant-clincher. He never got birthday gifts from Avery, because they have the same birthday, and Avery says that "you shouldn't have to buy for people

Very nicely written. I'm afraid if you give me one of my babies, I wouldn't be able to ace this meme (but I can always try if you pick).

Smoltz, because then golfing with him wouldn't be fun anymore, since they're so competitive with each other. And perish that thought.

I can't perish *that* thought about competitiveness and golf, but I'm guessing that if feelings got involved they wouldn't be friends anymore, although I think if it's them, they always find a way back into each other's arms.

Do I sense a secret longing for M/S slash? ;P

I'd like to see what you'd have to say about Pelf or Johnny. Just because I know how well you have them developed. :)

And thanks for the compliment. Maddux was probably the hardest for me to do (out of the four; Avery, Glavine, Smoltz, and him) simply because my little Braves!canon goes from ~90 to 96, and Maddux is only there from 93-96. So the other three have far more thought put into their little quirks and characterization.

I loved the 90's countdown song this. I remember all those songs so well.

I've had You Oughta Know stuck in my head since.

[poisonavery]

lol you remember all the songs? Even the ones from 90-95? ;P

[missyousofaar]

Surprisingly yes. I must have heard them when I was older. Or I have a better memory than I thought.
