Michele's Top Ten List
Ten Really Cool Things about "Gargoyles":
- It may actually convince kids to read "Macbeth" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
- It gives you a reason to respect that hideous antique mirror you've got stashed away in the basement.
- Goliath didn't need rugged good looks, a fancy car, or astronomical wealth, to win Elisa's heart.
- Like the Energizer bunny, the plotline just keeps going and going and going and going and going and going and going...
- When it comes to voices, at least certain cast members have proven tremendous versatility.
- Now you can't complain YOU'RE having a really bad hair day.
- The irony in the names of the hero and villain (or is it ex-villain?)
- You can appreciate the fact that even though you have your little spats, the relationship with your girlfriend hasn't turned out as insane as Goliath and Demona's.
- Now you can go out of Friday afternoons.
- The title doesn't incorporate half a dozen cute adjectives or use illiteration. Simplicity is the key here.
Top Ten Signs Your Friend May Be One of Oberon's Children...
- He shies away every time you break out the flatware.
- When he speaks, every other line rhymes.
- He own a quaint little flower shop that has the slogan: "We deliver in 40 minutes or less of your pansies are free."
- When asked to run a simple little errand, he gets a huge kick out of completely twisting the request around.
- He still believes in the tooth fairy.
- You comment on how you wish you could have a decent relationship with someone else and he says, "No problem. Now, just tell me the guy's name and I'll handle it."
- He tells your Shakespeare professor that it wasn't Goodfellows fault that pompous windbag Oberon couldn't give clear orders.
- He thinks Tinkerbell is a major babe.
- Pointy ears, he looks nice in tights, nice hair, the ability to defy gravity...
- He's never around when something really, really weird is going on.
