Tin Man because he's got the best costume and we both need a heart.
EDIT: Darn it, too slow! Okay, for Semi's -- young Judy Garland because she was a lovely actress. Messed up life but I really enjoyed watching her on screen. The old was just... pathetic and not that great 'cause of all the drugs. And she created Liza Minelli (who I don't like) later too.

For the sparsely populated western end of the Dauphin Island I wore my pre-cursor to the tan-thru swimsuit -- the who-needs-a-swimsuit-out-here suit. It was immediately copied by my drunken and debauched college buds.

Probably the bank robbery. (for those who haven't heard it) I was in the vault room counting the shipment when there was a commotion from the lobby. The teller with me figured it out. I took the 100s, 50s, 20s, & 10s & threw them into the timed side of the vault and shut that door. I meant to leave the 5s & 1s for the robbers, but the teller threw them behind the vault. So I opened up the untimed side. By that time the manager had open the door to the vault room. One robber came in asking for the bag (meaning the shipment bag) He did have a gun in his hand. I held up the shredded plastic bag and said "Here's the bag." He then scooped the money in the untimed side, dropping those 100s & 50s on the floor. At that instant, his partner yelled in "the time, the time. We've got to go!" I could see him looking at those 100s & 50s and I felt a little sorry for him. but he left without picking them up. They did take a dye pack. They never caught them, but the car they used (stolen with stolen plates on it) was found with dye all over the dashboard. So the money they did get was useless.

I was home from grad school for Christmas in 1988. My (adopted) mom said heard that my (birth) father had died recently. There had been a person who knew both my birth family and my adopted family.
I had tried 4 or 5 years earlier to locate my birth family -- nothing desperate or particularly diligent. I picked up the phone and called information in cities that I knew were connected to my birth family.
My (adopted) mom mentioned the state where she thought some of my birth family lived. It's a state with a very small population and very few cities. My birth family name is pretty unusual. When I got back to school after the break was over, I called for information and within 5 minutes was talking to my brother.
In the course of a phone call I went from being an only child to the 25-year-old baby brother of three older siblings.

Without giving names, is there anyone from Legion World that you would re4ally like to meet face to face? Why?

Sure! Because I like meeting new people and I've met a few other from RPGs and it was always a good experience. Plus I already made plans to meet one so if I said no he might be offended...
APBM, What did you dream last night?

No, no. I'm just kidding. I'd like to hang out with Hannah who is the protagonist in The Devils Arithmitic because... that story had a profound influence on my childhood and there's just so much I'd want to ask her... to try to understand. I was like her in a lot of ways at that age and I'd want to know, I mean really know, what it was like for her to experience what she did. The Holocaust was a horrible, horrible thing.

The Great Gatsby because to me he represents anyone who's essentially good-hearted, but has had to do bad things to chase what essentially was unattainable and undeserving of him (Stupid, vapid Daisy). Not a bad metaphor for most of our lives really.
APBM,
What real life famous person (current or historical) would you want to spend a day on the job with?

Id go one better...Id ply Mr Singer with enough booze and sweet talk to convince him to consider my suggestion for a live-action LSH movie to rival the relatively so-so Thunderbirds, but on as big a scale of production as the two X-Men movies....
