Thursday Thirteen #12 -- More about Mitchell


Thirteen More Things about
Mitchell Voss


(header by The Tour Manager; picture from Guitar World)



We had such a good time last week talking about Mitchell, and he is one of my favorite characters, so I thought I'd bring you a bit more about him.

After all, my meme contest is still ongoing for a few more days and while I've started to draw up some of the awards, there's still room for your entry. Get in on the fun and win yourself some books!

Thirteen More Things about Mitchell:

1. Boxers or briefs? Thanks to Kerri, boxer briefs. Before that, K-Mart specials to swap with the girls.

2. Favorite childhood birthday gift: One of those wooden mazes with the unstable surface that you had to navigate the marble through

3. Favorite adult birthday gift: Amy gave him one of those horrible Troll dolls as a gag. It now lives in his wardrobe case and rules the roost in there.

4. Toy he couldn't be separated from: a stuffed dog that he named Williams

5. Top of his game batting average: .295

6. First sentence: Amy hurt me!

7. Favorite bachelor food aside from beer: orange juice

8. Favorite unit of study in school: Astronomy

9. First thing he learned how to cook: hamburgers. On the grill, of course

10. What he was shopping for when he met Kerri: tomatoes

11. How he knew his parents approved of his final career choice: Sonya gave him a silver dragon ring that he never takes the stage without.

12. First thing he bought with ShapeShifter money: a custom Les Paul.

13. Worst job he ever had: helping haul sets around Riverview's flailing community access TV station.

From the little I know of you so far, Janet, I bet you're a native sort of girl. On your man, anyway. *wink*

Happy TT!

Honestly... I pictured him being an even worse baseball player than that LOL (sorry Mitchell!)

Mitchell's such an interesting character :)

I can just hear the "blue light special on aisle 9, underwear special" :)

Course, I don't know about the whole shopping for tomatoes thing. Tomatoes are pretty gross. :D

Happy Thursday. And, that is a very nice header you've got there!

Mitchell sounds like a great guy! Boxers are much better than briefs. :-)

The Tour Manager is going to have a very big head when he sees all the kudos for his header. But it's his birthday, so we'll let that happen one day a year!

Thanks, everyone! It's been too busy today to say something to all of you, but I appreciate your visits and hope you'll come back a LOT!

"Favorite unit of study in school: Astronomy" - a man after my own heart :-)
Interesting character. I'm going to have to do some more looking around here.
Good luck with the book, and thanks for visiting.
Happy TT!

Heh. That was actually a trick answer! No one got it! :(

Glad to see you here; hope you'll hang out more!

He was shopping for tomatoes when he met Kerri? Solely tomatoes? Is there a short story behind this? Tomatoes are probably the last thing I'd go buy. :)

a les paul is an awesome purchase i do believe.
thanks for visiting my tt this week.

I would have thought his favourite gag gift would have been the blow up sheep ;)
# posted by Anonymous Anonymous : January 18, 2007 8:09 PM
 
OMG. HOW did you know about the sheep???????

He sounds like an interesting guy.

I always thought trolls were kinda cute.

Thanks for coming by!

Ok this definitively helps to follow the story :)
(however I’m not sure am I still enough familiar with all characters to jump in the contest … never mind it’ll be fun watching)

(I’m reading this and expecting to see photo of him at the end of the post with “this is me and M” LOL!)

Well, Mitchell sure sounds interesting. I wish I could enter the contest I inspired :( But I've been having this migraine, work has been a lot lately and I'm so busy with all sorts of things. Hopefully, I'll enter the next one... :D

Take care of the head; the next contest launches SOON. *wink*
