I don't have to "want to be." I AM Lisa Simpson (pointy head and all).

Skeletor, of course.

*tears off face*

Old skool: Mendoza from the Mysterious Cities of Gold (too old to be Esteban anymore). He was one cunning bastard, with un corazon de oro.

Middle skool: Daria (or a male version thereof)

New skool: Quinn, from Sealab 2021? Except not on Sealab. It blows up a lot. Also, Pod Six is jerks.

Beavis. or Barney Gumble. or perhaps Gossamer.

Why, jon, *you* would be Sherman, of course!

I want to be that animated cartoonist guy in all the old Looney Tune cartoons that has the huge pencil with the big eraser on it, who erases all of the other cartoon characters.

Sherman, set the Wayback Machine for 1958. We're going to prevent Jerry Lee Lewis from marrying his cousin.

Lisa: Bart, it's naive to think you can change a person...except maybe that boy who works in the library...
[flashback to library]
Ralph: Do you have, "Go, Dog, Go"?
Boy at Library Desk: [scoffs] That's in Juvenile. This is Young Adult.
[back to present]
Lisa: Well-read, and just a little wild. [sighs] Ooh, if only someone could tame him...

Well, if muppets count, than I want to be Fizzgig.

I'd love to be Gonzo (though I'm told I already am), but I've also always had a weird fascination with Lew Zealand.

I'm too nerdy to be Sweetums, alas.
