Nope neither. And also, KK guessed Ensign at the beginning of the page and got it wrong so there's only 2 more guesses. Someone should get it.

Not Hatch, not Jeffords and not Menendez. That leaves just one name. E) John Cornyn, TX I have no idea who Corny is, but he's got a bucketload of Cosponsors on him and has really been doing rather well. You can see my team at http://www.fantasycongress.com/members/team_info?teamID=77020 So since nobody got it, I'll name KK as best runner's up - so take it away KryptonKid.

Caliente, right on the first guess! I have a 93% in that class, but the prof grades on a curve. Where's the justice, I ask you?

I dunno! Grading is eeeevil, it is. Okay, so I've recently become a rather large Simon Pegg fan. What's my favorite of his characters? (And, yes, I have seen all of these characters in action.) a) Simon from Asylumb) Detector from We Know Where You Livec) Old Duff from We Know Where You Lived) Steve Bennett from I'm Alan Partridgee) Ray Purbbs from Hippiesf) Tim Bisley from Spacedg) Dr. Russel Fell from Danger! 50,000 Volts!h) Shaun from Shaun of the Deadi) Nicholas Angel from Hot Fuzz

I have no idea who Simon Pegg is... but I'll guess:
d) Steve Bennett from I'm Alan Partridge
and I was so hoping KK was not getting an A in 2. Yoga - that would have been funny.

You don't know Simon Pegg?? You must be living under a rock! Kidding. But Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead did get that cult following thing going on. Anyway, nah, I didn't really dig Steve Bennett. That's more on Alan Partridge, who I find very offensive, than Simon, though. The guest spot was just sorta "eh".

I'm not familiar with Simon Pegg either, but I'll guess this one because I think it has a cool title:
g) Dr. Russel Fell from Danger! 50,000 Volts!

Gasp! You should definitely see Hot Fuzz (cop movie) and/or Shaun of the Dead (zombie flick) if you like British humor or buddy flicks at all. Oh, and Pegg's going to be Scotty in the new Trek flick. So if that's your cup of tea, keep an eye out. Anyway. No, sadly, it was not Dr. Russel Fell, though that episode of Danger! was hilarious. He was playing an Australian zombie hunter (they had a zombie thing going on for a while, see) with his buddy Nick Frost. Cricky, his accent was ridiculous.

I've been looking forward to the new Trek flick, so I'll see him there for sure.
Over-the-top Aussie accents do amuse me; when I was in junior high, I enjoyed this (very) short-lived action/sci-fi show called The Highwayman, with an Aussie called Jacko as the excitable sidekick to the strong, silent leading man, Sam J. "Flash Gordon" Jones.
Anyhow, here's my next guess:
e) Ray Purbbs from Hippies
I love it when the British make fun of hippies, like the character Neil in The Young Ones.

Haha. Sadly, Ray Purbbs is actually one of my least favorite Pegg characters. Not because of him, I just didn't like the premise of the show that much. 'Cause they weren't making fun of hippies, exactly... more doing a sitcom set in the '60s with hippies. Or something. I dunno, it just didn't strike me. Plus, I hated the hair. God, so much. It just wasn't right...

Move over, Novelty and Stealth - I don't know who Simon Pegg is either. That won't stop me from making a guess though...
c) Old Duff from We Know Where You Live

*sniff* You people are breaking my heart! Watch some British TV/movies already! Or! Watch the episode of the new Doctor Who with The Editor... or Mission: Impossible III (he's Benji there) or Run, Fat Boy, Run or Big Nothing or The Good Night. Oh, and he had a small role in Band of Brothers. I just haven't seen any of those. Anyway, sorry, Lance, but the Old Duff, while hilarious on the sketch show We Know Where You Live, is not my favorite. I did enjoy that character, though. He's so... old. It's really cute. Sadly, Novelty, it wasn't Nick Angel, either. Hot Fuzz was the first Simon Pegg movie I ever saw (and he was sexy in it) and that's definitely a strong runner-up. He's just so serious and no-nonsense. I loved seeing him chase after swans and blow sh*t up. It was brilliant. Yay, British copper action flicks! Edit: From the other page...

Yes, he's a Brit. Sorry, KK, I did love the Detector sketches (they're rather hilarious with him, his partner and the house they always bust) but there wasn't anything especially distinctive about him there. They were just... cute. But!! Novelty, it is Tim Bisley from Spaced. He was just so cute and a giant nerd. Seriously, giant. (Tee hee, he was fired once for hating Jar Jar Binks!) The whole show was just brilliant and I loved his hilarious skater, slacker almost-adult self. Anyway, you're up, Novelty!
