If your owner was a Hoomin

I was thinking about this the other day and thought I would throw it
in

If somehow your owners got turned into Hoomin's what sort of Hoomin
would they be?

Let's see

Speedy Joe would have been a sexist macho pig. He would read any paper
with a picture of boobs in it. Drink lager. Support his local football
team. Grope women and make comments like "I don't fancy yours much!"
as women went past. Get into the occasional fight at the match. He'd
probably be a loudmouth

Fugazi would have been, quiet and sensible and laid back. Think rather
shy, happier in her own company. Vague interest in esoteric philosophy
but wears sensible shoes probably reads the Guadian

Isis would of course have been a lady. She would wear long dresses.
drink tea, eat cucumber sandwiches with the crusts removed. Her
hobbies would be embroidery and maybe knitting. She would never swear
beyond "Drat" She would of course read the "Lady" and maybe the
"Times" although she would skip the bad news and political bits as
unworthy of the notice of a lady. You just know she would have a fan

Dunzi would have long hair, a kaftan, tinted glasses, a few tomes on
meditation, smoke weed and spend time in Ashrams or communes where she
would practice free love. She would say "Like, man" a lot. She would
be into yoga and go on anti nuclear protest marches, she would have
been right at home at Greenham Common. She would read the
"International Times"

Sarsi would have a mohican and a "Motorhead" t-shirt and very heavy
leather boots with thick soles. She would go to festivals and drink
cider but also plot World domination while at it (A role player
perhaps?), lots of gothic jewellery, upside down pewter crucifixes
etc. She's hang around with bikers. She would read "Kerrang"

snipped very entertaining portrait of her cats if they had been
humans

Maggy May would be everyone's mom or grandmom. She would have children
and grandchildren all over the country and keep in close touch with
all of them. More than that, she would seek out other people's
children who needed a hug or a pep talk and give them what they
needed. She would probably be a good cook or at least have a great
interest in food. She would be a plump but very small older lady whose
dress was neat but dowdy. She would favor whatever politics would be
good for "the children."

Winnie would be quiet and kind. He wouldn't tell many jokes but he
would laugh merrily and make those around him happy. He wouldn't be
very macho but he would love the ladies. However, his first love would
be his mother, Maggy May, and he would still talk to her on the phone
every day and have dinner at her place once a week. She would nag him
about settling down and giving her some grandkids. He would be a
handsome young fellow in what they call an ice-cream suit.

Missy would be a very private person. A slender older spinster who
often dressed exactly like her mother, Maggy May. She would have a few
close friends and otherwise no one would notice her. She would do
crosswords and possibly play a little bridge with her mother and some
other close friends. When they could get him to play, Winnie would be
very good at the game. She would have a temper.

Sunrise would be a ingenue trying to adapt to becoming a character
actress. Still beautiful and elegant, she would not be getting the
leading roles anymore. She would often watch a video, not of an entire
film but simply of her saying the line "I have always depended on the
kindness of strangers." She would be gracious to others in her
neighborhood, especially the handsome young Winnie, but she was
clearly used to better. She spends part of every day reading "Variety"
and "Billboard." She would over-dress for almost every occasion. At
home, she would lounge about in sweats and dancing shoes.

WooToo would be an older lady who had never been very sociable. She
came from a home where she interacted with only one person and she was
frightened when she arrived in this crowded house. Maggy May and,
surprisingly, Sunrise got her out of her shell and now she sometimes
joins in the bridge game and often visits back and forth with the
others. She dresses plainly and neatly and she sleeps a great deal.

Feather (RB) would be a night person. Hunting the dark places of the
world, this handsome young man would spend most of his time in Ninja
garb.

HRFL Tiger would live up to his name. He's very much a ladies man, but
of the old school - impecable manners and probably something to do
within senior government. He's very diplomatic.

Robbie would be a real "Luvvey Dahling" poet Oscar Wilde type, with a
smoking jacket and cigarette in a holder.

Miss Lily Whiskers would be a tomboy - always getting into scrapes and
trouble. She'd have skinned knees where she had scraped them, have a
dirty smudge on her face, socks around her ankles, and be the one who
managed to kick the football through the window and break it.

Cleo would be a melodramatic drama queen. Every time there was a
calamity (real or imagined) she'd be rush around the house yelling "Oh
my God! Think of the children!!" and swooning in a faint.

Pandora would be a very refined lady, who had perfect manners and kept
herself to herself. Quite opinionated, but not pushy, just well
mannered.

Persia would be a DIVA in the truest sense of the word. She'd get food, any
food, on demand. She'd be temperamental, even haughty and arrogant one
moment and snuggly and cuddling the next, which of course is a Diva's right.
But at 6AM, like it or not, breakfast better be ready.

I love this. Stinky would be Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant. Dante would be
Jimmy Cagney or a Marx Brother.

Ooooh....some of these were easy, and some were kinda hard...

Emma: a preppie. Always neatly dressed, always with her hands neatly
folded looking prim and proper and refined. And right underneath that
layer of refinement...a playful girl with a wicked sense of humor.

Shane: duuuuuuude...this guys skateboards, is really good looking but
does nothing to take care of it, has kinda long kinda disheveled hair
and is friendly to everyone. Slightly spaced out most of the time but
always good for a major session of 'boarding.

Cinder: the somewhat older, no longer popular fashion model. Dresses
well, looks good, but is neurotically insecure and constantly seeks
reassurance from those around her. Believes she still is making millions
and tries to live like that. And fails.

Jezebel: the woman from "Play Misty For Me". Need I say more?

Miss Kitty: The enthusiastic, overweight woman who volunteers for
everything, never quite has clothing that matches, distributes hugs
indiscriminately and is quite vocal about How Things Ought to Be.

Princess: a refined, genteel older lady, a bit of a recluse, would
prefer to live alone in the family mansion with a single devoted
servant. May be agoraphobic, in reality, but she'll never show it.

Tigger (RB): the space case. That's it. Wanders about going "huh"?

Fearless: Used to be a great hunter in Africa, donchaknow, brought down
many trophy animals. And is living on the memory, for the most part, and
tells stories repeatedly. Wears hunting garb at all times. Still can
kill fearsome beasts (or at least mice and rabbits) despite looking all
tottery and frail.

Louie (RB): The humble but intelligent and personable, independently
wealthy renaissance man, dresses well but modestly, is friends with
everyone he meets (unless you are TED), helps numerous charities but
never wants the credit; willingly lets small children climb all over him
and pull on his beard...at least for a while.

-Tiger would turn immediately into Jackie mason, including mumbling to
himself.
-Trudi would dress daringly then slap me who looked or tried to touch while
she put flowers in her hair and mumbled the vilest of swear words under her
breath.
-TV would sit in front of the television watching, hoping he had a woman to
bring his food and bear because acquiring either would tax his brain too
much, said same woman would also have to operate the remote as this would
simply be too complex... he would however make it worth said woman's while
in the affection department.
-OEJ, would be an activist, giving speeches about something, being too busy
to do anything but run around and talk.
-Stormmee would find someone,*currently DH* devote herself to them and
complain when they didn't appreciate what she was doing... she would have no
trouble getting into a fight to protect her man.
-Chester, would not be opposed to smoking a little dope and partying all the
time, but he might not smoke too much because he is so laid back its not
really necessary to relax or munch food.

Probably because he was the only one raised in a mouse-rich and cat-
free (except for him) environment. The apartment house we lived in was
infested with mice. Other tenants used to borrow him because he would
get rid of their mice. He was the God of Death of the mice on Chapel
Street.

My two would be two latchkey kids who live in a broken home with their
widower parent. Dot would be the older sister, who has an opinion
about how to set the table and how to behave around guests, although
she hasn't learned how to cook yet. Buster would be a normally
reserved boy who engages in quiet hobbies such as stamp collecting and
fly tying. He loves to think that he's helping dad with his latter
hobby, and likes to accompany him on fishing trips.
