Visionary:
- Characterized by foresight: farsighted, foresighted, prescient. See foresight.
- Of, relating to, or in the nature of an illusion; lacking reality: chimeric, chimerical, delusive, delusory, dreamlike, hallucinatory, illusive, illusory, phantasmagoric, phantasmal, phantasmic. See real/imaginary.
- Existing only in the imagination: chimeric, chimerical, conceptual, fanciful, fantastic, fantastical, imaginary, notional, unreal. See real/imaginary.
- Of or relating to the foretelling of events by or as if by supernatural means: augural, divinitory, fatidic, fatidical, mantic, oracular, prophetic, sibylline, vatic, vatical, vaticinal. See foresight.
- Given to daydreams or reverie: dreamy, moony, woolgathering. See real/imaginary.
- Not compatible with reality: idealistic, quixotic, romantic, starry-eyed, unrealistic, utopian. See hope/despair, real/imaginary.
- Showing a tendency to envision things in perfect but unrealistic form: idealistic, utopian. See hope/despair, real/imaginary.
- Fidel Castro: certainly the term is appropriate for him, although Che was probably even more visionary.
- Tony Blair: uhhh hardly so...
- The Great Wall of China: a great technological achievement but it's not really visionary
- Atlantis: yes Atlantis is certainly fantastic in nature and idealistic. Visions of Atlantis also happens to be a pretty good symphonic metal band.
- Play Doh: not really
- Discos: wtf?
- X-Ray Vision: ahah
I pick Atlantis -

Sloppy:
Those I disqualified right when I saw them:
Pulling weeds, the symphony, chips and salsa.
Chicago fire- after learning about it I realized it's not that related.
Leaving us with:
Garbage cans-can be described as sloppy things as they are muddy.
Gravy- can be a bit muddy and such, not my best description of it.
Grease and grime- muddy indeed, probably the best suitable word.
I choose:
Grease and Grime -

Woebegone, by Sadistic
- Skeletons, Onions, Apples & Oranges, Coconuts, Tulips, Quicksand, Giving a Hug
Woebegone
1. beset with woe; affected by woe, esp. in appearance.
2. showing or indicating woe: He always had a woebegone look on his face.
hrmm.....throwing out apples & oranges and coconuts...because i luv apples/oranges and even though i don't really like coconuts, it wouldn't make me "beset with woe"....
Quicksand is sorta mehh...but not really....
Giving a Hug? sounds like someone is germaphobic xD?
Skeletons are....probably a lot more scary in rl than on tv, but I just have trouble picturing dead people with scenes of woe...even though that may seem like the obvious choice....
It came down to Tulips and Onions....and I chose Onions, just cause of the whole oil making you cry, and the fact that someone connected woe to that is epic winz lol.... -

Careful, by Awesome
- NASA I chsse this one, I think they would be careful with all they do, or at least pretend to
, Ginger & Mary Ann-ummm no?? IDK really know them but google said they were some actresses
, Remote Controls- I just don't really relate it to carefulness at all
, Neighbors-This came close actually, I guess it dpends on your neighbours thuogh XD
, Knitting Needles- Kinda, but its a bit of a stretch for me to make when there are better choices
, A Nine Iron- I considered this, but there were more precise altenitives
, Ears-I don't get it, I don't see a direct relation here so I said no, it would be a leap to make one -

Manly:
an adjective corresponding to manliness, manhood or masculinity—embodying the essence of being a man.
A Few Good Men - Plays arn't manly.
Fish & Chips - British people might think this food is manly, but imo Brits are pussys so there food means nothing to me.
Kangaroos - They fight. Thats fucking awesome.
Waterfalls - Not manly. To picturesque to be manly.
Shave & Haircut - Depends on the type of hair cut and type of shave.
Flannel Shirts - Manliest thing ever. Lumberjacks wear them, and so do it.
My Body - Also very manly, but i dont have enough chest hair for it to be manlier then flannel shirts.
Between Shave & haircut and Flannel shirts, i must pick the flannel. Its just to lumberjacky -

Orderly
- Recreational Vehicles - I don't really see how orderly applies here, maybe organizing and opitimizing storage?
- Surfing - I don't get it D:
- Billboards - I don't really see the appeal here.
- Paris (France) - Never been there, the people don't shave apparently. Weird.
- Supermarkets - Everything on their shelves?
- My Hair - I'm taking it you meant my hair, which is by no means orderly. Probably the exact opposite.
- Regis Philbin - My hero (no).
The winner is my hair.

Addictive:
Abbot and Costello: no idea what that is, pass.
Peanut Butter: I can certainly see why it could be addictive, but I don't like it, pass.
Burger and Fries: hmm yes, addictive and unhealthy.
Drew Carey: whose line is it anyway is very funny, but drew carey himself is not addictive
Getting a Hug: meh
India: curry is addictive, but not india
Ice Skating: hell no
Burger and fries is my choice. -

Date: Sat, Feb 7 2009 04:19:03
Shy,
- Frozen Peas-...ummm no?
, David Letterman- Hes a comedian/talk show host I doubt he is a shy person
, Honeymoon- Mabye, I mean sure mabye the groom on hi honeymoon might be shy of telling his bride he is a homicidal rapist on the side, Its a stretch, but there isn't many other alternitives
, Psychiatrists- Aren't they supposed to be able to fix shyness, it would be ironic if they were shy,
Mashed Potatoes- See frozen peas
, Snowballs- See Mashed potatoes
, The Pyramids- See snowballs
I choose Honeymoon -
Date: Sat, Feb 7 2009 06:25:45
Masculine:
Pineapples---well you obviously weren't saving anything special for this one
My Life---psh...I wish
Mount Rushmore---Well Lincoln an Washington an Roosevelt are masculine, but because this forced me to wiki Jefferson, you don't win
My Friends---Do I look gay? who the fuck put this one!?!?!?!?
Cows---I got to admit, beef is smexy
Hockey---I really want to pick this one because it makes so much sense, but if you didn't realize it last game....its for the lulz man
Wood Chippers---The mans paper shredder<-------------WINNAR -
Date: Sat, Feb 7 2009 10:50:16
Armed and Dangerous:
Piranha-Is indeed dangerous but it isn't armed
Big Macs-Nah...
Robin Williams-Can be armed but is in no way dangerous
Day Care Centers-umm.. no
Cameras-can be dangerous a bit
Firefighters-probably the closest to the subject, they are armed and can be dangerous
Inside the Sun-very dangerous but not armed.
Winner is Firefighters. -

You're supposed to have a plan for people who don't play. Like kicking them out of the game if there are no replacements.
