25 October 2005

Peanuts! I just finished watching It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown with Pips. As realxing and life affirming as a hit of Valium. I imagine it is to most of my generation. But the question is this: which Peanuts character are you?

Only replace the dust clouds with beer fumes and cigarette smoke.

Despite appearances, I'm pretty firmly Charlie Brown. Good intentions and all, but nothing ever seems to go quite right.

Plus, the thing with the damned football...

That always aggravated me, too. Just smack the bitch, Charlie Brown.

Linus

(i think that's the weakest special of theirs--i just watched too)
posted by amberglow 25 October | 20:42
Lucy. Totally Lucy.
posted by ThePinkSuperhero 25 October | 20:43
Very, very Lucy.

My kid was nonplussed. "What is he waiting for? Pumpkins can't walk! A pumpkin isn't going to walk up to him! Why is he doing this?"

No Jonestown for my little cynic.

I'm 1/2 Lucy and 1/2 Charlie Brown. Don't suffer fools easily, but often wondering why the hell I can't win a ballgame.

How is Valium life-affirming? ;-)
posted by WolfDaddy 25 October | 20:46
I'm Pigpen, with the talents of Schroeder, the insecurities of Linus, the ego of Lucy, the nerdiness of Peppermint Patty, and the mysteriousness of the Little Redhaired girl.
posted by interrobang 25 October | 20:46
Isn't there a website somewhere where we answer a bunch of questions and it will tell us which character we are? Then I wouldn't have to think.

Ok. Ok. I would be Charlie Brown.
posted by Marxchivist 25 October | 20:48
My lesbian ex-girlfreind bore a striking resemblance to Marcie. Pips however is most definitely Peppermint Patty.

posted by jonmc 25 October | 20:49
I think I'm Schroeder. I sit around ignoring people most of the time, and occasionally I flip out.
posted by selfnoise 25 October | 21:02
Here's a test, btw.
posted by selfnoise 25 October | 21:06
I look the most like the little redhaired girl, but I act more like Lucy. Plus, I can do a scarily accurate impersonation of her.

"YOU BLOCKHEAD!!!!"
posted by Orange Swan 25 October | 21:07
According to the test, I'm Scroeder which is ridiculous. I am so PigPen.
posted by jonmc 25 October | 21:12
I am not Woodstock! Well, maybe.

Well, wolfie, from here on out all your posts should look like this:

According to me: Lucy. And really, you know I'm gonna take the ball. Why persist?

According to test: Snoopy. Huh.
posted by dame 25 October | 21:28
I took the test, I'm Sally. Shit, I'm not Charlie Brown, I'm his little sister! If you're feeling a little down about life, remember you can always talk to the school wall.
posted by Marxchivist 25 October | 21:29
Yep, I'm apparently Woodstock according to the test. I figured I was more of a Lucy.

Wolfie, start dancing on dame's shoulder.

(truth be told time, I would've figured you for Frida, the "naturally curly hair," girl)

*runs, leaving cloud of dirt*

Because she has curly hair? Or because of her character?
posted by dame 25 October | 21:42
the curly hair, mainly. But don't you remember the Xmas special where she played innkeeper's wife to PigPen's (heh) innkeeper and said "your dirt better not get in my naturally curly hair."
posted by jonmc 25 October | 21:44
I have to admit I find that rather frustrating. It reminds me of how when I was playing with my friends as a kid, I always had to be the one brown character even if I felt nothing for it, because, you know, I was brown, and there was only one. I don't want to start a fight, just let you know it's rather uncomplimentary.

It's not like we made you Franklin. Hell, if we we're casting Fat Albert, I'd make you Russell since he always had the best wisecracks. I'd be Dumb Donald, mainly for the headgear.

(and for the record, you know I like your curly hair. I advised you to grow it into a big ol' Angela Davis bush, remember?)
posted by jonmc 25 October | 21:56
Linus. I'm a little chubby, and I have an "old soul" (so I'm told). Plus the security blanket philosopher thing seems to apply to me. My friends say Linus!

Also, this is me in lecture: ≡ Click to see image ≡

There's an early strip in which one of the female characters tells Charlie Brown that out of tiny acorns do great oaks grow. They're near either a very young oak sprout thing, or just a mound where an acorn was recently planted. Charlie Brown goes away and comes back with a hatchet.


I'm Charlie Brown.

Lately, I've been feeling like one of the invisible wa-wa, wa wa wa-wa adults.

mwa wa mwa?
posted by amberglow 25 October | 23:33
I stand corrected. :-)
posted by DeepFriedTwinkies 25 October | 23:44
If I can change sexes, I'm Linus. If not, I guess I'm Lucy. Actually, fuck that, I'm Snoopy.

no valium for me

Test says I'm Schroeder. I can see that.

It says I'm sally, but I've always identified more with linus. I really want to watch the great pumpkin now.

I'm the WW I Flying Ace.

According to the test, I'm the Silver Surfer.
posted by Hugh Janus 26 October | 08:54
The test says Schroeder, which is no surprise, though I would have picked Linus on my own.
posted by tr33hggr 26 October | 08:59
The test thinks I'm Sally.

Schroeder.

Huh. I'm Woodstock.

It was a dark and stormy night when I found out I was Snoopy.
posted by eekacat 26 October | 12:02
I totally knew I was Woodstock and the test confirmed it. Uh, I mean: ''``' `'`'`' '``
posted by Specklet 26 October | 12:36
I've always identified with Marcie and the test confirms it! Thank you for asking the question, sir.

Totally and completely Linus.

But I want to be Snoopy.
