I saw "Shrek 2" this weekend, and while it was extremely good and I am in love with Puss in Boots, it stuck a song in my head. Damn you, Shrek.
I have "I Need A Hero" earwormed and must find a way to purge it. Perhaps if I list my personal heroes list.....
In no particular order (after the first two):
1. The GM1
2. United States military
3. Tyler Durden
4. Chuck Yeager
5. Ellen Ripley
6. Patton
7. Al Swearengen
8. William Gibson
9. Miles Vorkosigan
10. Bobby Shaftoe
11. William the Bloody
12. Henry VIII
13. Leonardo da Vinci
Who are your heroes?

Posted by: Lynn at July 11, 2004 07:47 PMI have the Shrek 2 soundtrack and listen to those 2 versions of I Need A Hero over and over again.
Posted by: Xinh at July 11, 2004 08:10 PMI had the same thing happen to me with that song. Darn Shrek!
My own personal heroes?
My tall dutchman, my sister, Vlad the Impaler (he was just neat!), and, urm.. hmmm.. actually, I've never really thought of it, heh.
I hated that song the first time it came out. Now I have to listen as my 9 year old blasts it on the new stereo we got him for his birthday.
What's in Shrek 3 to taunt me? "Total Eclipse Of The Heart"?

Posted by: pylorns at July 12, 2004 10:32 AMOooh, damn fine list there.
Posted by: topdawg at July 12, 2004 11:26 AMAnd where is Pixy on that list?
Posted by: Stephen Macklin at July 12, 2004 05:42 PMPixy is cross-linked with my fantasy/hottie list. :)
He might have been included here, but he's such a tease.....
That's a great list. I especially like 3, 5 and 9.
Let's see, my hero list would include my husband, Spiderman, and Miles Vorkosigan. And Nellie Bly and my grandmother. Well, both my grandmothers, actually, both the one who was a doctor and the one who wasn't but who was apparently an extremely competent surgical assistant as a teenager.

Anyway, my heroes?
Isaac Asimov
Richard P Feynmann
Richard III
The Australian, US and British militaries
P. J. O'Rourke
Winston Churchill
Queen Elizabeths I and II
Cordelia Vorkosigan
Carl Sagan
Terry Pratchett
Err, hang on, make that Richard I. Dunno about Richard III.
Posted by: Pixy Misa at July 12, 2004 08:26 PMYou ought to check out Peter F. Hamilton's Night's Dawn trilogy given your list. Ask Dawn, I know my shit. ;) Excellent list, by the way.
