    We're supposed to play this for real, right? I'm playing...

    (It says a lot about me as a person that I'm way more comfortable with fictional characters than real people. A bunch where I had no idea.)



    Wire: 2, 7, 11, 13, 15, 18, 24, 30, 36, 38, 46, 48, 50

    Non-Wire Fiction: 1, 6, 8, 9, 20 (Clown Prince of Crime nicknames count, right?), 31, 37, 40, 45, 47, 49

    Real: 4, 26, 28, 33, 34,

    Product or Thing: 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 19

    I was counting on my fingers, and I lost count, so you either got 29 or 34 or 39 or some other number right.  Maybe at lunch I'll post the answer sheet.

    I started to play, but I'm so bad at it that it's actually embarrassing.  I think I ended up with about 50% uncategorized.

    36 is absolutely a real person (he wrote "Last Temptation of Christ").

    23 is a tough one, since it's a "character" created by a person who played on Big Brother.  (Sort of like "The Miz.")

    I absolutely should have put the Miz on this list.  Also, Jay Landsman.

    would Fuzzy Dunlop be a wire character or a thing?

    See, I can't tell you, because I don't like to put my CIs in that kind of position.
