Everybody know how to play? You pick one character to toss off a cliff, one to have wild sex with, and one to marry. Then, having posted those choices, you offer up three candidates for the next player.
Let's start with Shakespeare!
Hamlet
Othello
Romeo

piece de gateau:
cliff Romeo - too young, too stupid, might be teachable, won't know for years
shag Othello - intense, but if he won't aks me simple questions so I can set his mind at ease it won't last long
marry Hamlet - I've always had a soft spot for a great Dane, and at least he'll talk, and listen - once he gets past his indecision
I thought you were going to make us choose SU people. That would be much more difficult

You didn't offer candidates! Get back in here and finish the job. *g* (And you can always use SU people...) |

Han Solo
Luke Skywalker
Lando Calrissian
Cliff Luke, the whiny git. Shag Lando. It'd be an awesome, mind-blowing night. Marry Han. He has the roguish charm I'd want long-term, and it's always be interesting. Shrek Donkey Puss In Boots |

You'd CLIFF Philip M.? Oh, perfidy! *g* (I think he's a closet romantic. I'd take him home.)
However,
Cliff Lazarus (I mean, really...)
Shag Shaeffer (geeks in the sack!)
Marry Miles (resourceful = long-term satisfaction)
Okay,
