An Unusual List

Happy May Day!!! Today's the day where we put paper bags of dog doodoo on front doors, light it on fire, then ring the door bell and RUN!!! I think that's what we do today... I'll have to make sure I don't answer the door if it rings today.

So I have many friends who are determined to "set me up" and constantly ask me... "what type of woman are you looking for". So today I attempt to answer that question in a unique way. I present to you my list of 10 of my favorite cartoon women of all time!! Make fun of me if you want, but hopefully the trip down memory lane will bring a smile to your face or even a laugh or two..... In no particular order:

Daphne (from Scooby Doo)

  • Likes a good mystery (solves in 15 minutes - can't even do that on CSI!)
  • Likes dogs
  • Access to a sweet van!!
Cons:
  • Possibly involved with Fred
  • Vain with regards to her appearance
  • Gets into trouble all the time
  • Might not be 18

Pros:
  • Has her own Flying Car (daddy bought)
  • Mom is pretty cute too
  • Can hook me up with cool new electronic toys from the future
Cons:
  • Little brother might be smarter and a better engineer than I am
  • Has grey hair at such a young age

What? No Wonder Woman? What do you have against Amazon women in tight fitting clothes?

And why don't you like Velma (from Scooby-Doo)? The cartoon version didn't do her the justice that the live movie version did (Zoikies! she was hot!).

Emily here, my login is still messed up...

You forgot one of my cartoon favorite, Jem, the woman who was in a love triangle with HERSELF. It wasn't until I was in my 20s when I realized how messed up that was. She never got pissed off a Rico for two-timing her either (with her alter ego, Jerica, but still...).

If our son had been a girl, Jim wanted to name her Daphne. He said he knew "a really hot Daphne once." I wonder if he was referring to the Scooby-Doo Daphne? (Either way, Daphne as a name wasn't flying with me.)
