The Fifteen Character Meme. It goes like this:
1. I make a list of 15 fictional characters.
2. You post questions about entertaining situations they might get into (such as "6 and 7 walk into a pub. What do they order and where do they sit?" or "How do 4, 7 and 15 cope with a zombie apocalypse?").
3. I answer the questions.
4. You try to guess who the 15 characters are.
5. I post the list of the ones you guess.

All right? Then let's play.

( The list of characters, with correct guesses included )

And we're done! Good guessing, flist!

Thesis is getting done, slowly and painfully. I have all sorts of bits and bobs that just need assumbling into a Thing that Makes Sense. Taking Lord of the Rings as an allegory for a PhD, I think I'm midway through Mordor and recovering from being bitten by Shelob right now.

Anyway, downtime! I should have some. So here are the first lines of fifty songs from my current playlist (note: I skipped the ones in Japanese). Guess the title and artist. I'll strikethrough when they're correctly guessed. Then try it yourself. Fun!

ETA: Answers at the bottom for the curious.
