Couldn't pick just one. These two were my faves.

Here's one: ICE CREAM!!
Show us the comic strip you read most often.
Well there isn't one, there are several.
I've had many comic strip loves over the years...Calvin & Hobbes being the greatest of all time, imo.
These days it's For Better or For Worse, Get Fuzzy, and the online strip Two Lumps (thanks Theo for introducing me to that one!)
I also love me some Mother Goose and Grimm:
Show us the athlete you'd most like to be for one game.
He's always about to do something magnificent:
Show us your favorite childhood toy.
I don't think I can. I just spent more time on google looking for these things than I care to admit...
I had a TON of Hello Kitty stuff when I was little. Mom hooked me up. The hello kitty dolls I played with were about 3/4" tall - TEENY TEENY TEENY.
They looked KIND OF like this but much smaller and the colors were perfect primary red, yellow and blue:
And they weren't vinyl. They were hard plastic.
Each one came with her own set. One was a public park. It was a little plastic square that you would add stickers to and make the park look however you wanted it. The square came with panels to set up as walls or a background. There were also tiny benches and a swing set that came with the park set. I also had ones that were a house and a class room. There were little divots in the squares that were there to hold the little hello kitty doll in place. And the stickers were permanent, once you put that apple tree in a certain place it was there to stay.
I cannot find these ANYWHERE. It's like they've dematerialized off the face of the earth - EVEN EBAY. And I know whatever I have left is in bits and pieces in a box in my parent's garage.
I also had two of the original plush dolls that date back to the late 70's...can't find a good pic of those either. Argh!
I had tons of stickers, barretts, stationary, pencils, pens and those erasers that never actually worked and smelled like bubble gum. I'm pretty sure I had a purse, too.
Here's what I could find that is similar:
Show us your favorite t-shirt.
This is my favorite tee shirt featuring the original rendition of the beloved Jawhawk mascot of the University of Kansas, my alma matter, developed in 1912. My bff Adam got this for me the last time he was in Lawrence.
More on the Jayhawk legend and his awkward stages of development :)
My favorite quote from the link above:
"How do you draw a Jayhawk? For years, that question stumped fans. Henry Maloy, a cartoonist for the student newspaper, drew a memorable version of the Jayhawk (top left) in 1912. He gave it shoes. Why? For kicking opponents, of course."
Finally solidified and agreed upon in 1946, this is what he looks like now:
Show us your guilty pleasure.
Well this is easy:
No one will ever be as good as Fantasia, imo...and here is why. (I had forgotten how cool Quinton Tarantino's critique of this was). Even you aren't a fan, check this out, she is such a brilliant performer:
I have to admit, if another Sanjaya bullshit thing happens this season, taking away good opportunity from talented people, then I'm out! Seacrest, out.
