I'm gonna jump start this, but it is sad to see MaryD go...
1) I like the cartoon strip "Doonesbury"
2) I like the cartoon strip "My Cage"
3) I like the cartoon strip "Baby Blues"
4) I like the cartoon strip "Frank & Ernest"
5) I like the cartoon strip "Rhymes With Orange"
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
I personally would have a hard time choosing between Doonesbury and Baby Blues, but I'll go with 3.

Wow, Cal! Got it in one!
1) I like the cartoon strip "Doonesbury" I find Doonesbury very boring!
2) I like the cartoon strip "My Cage" Used to read it, then it seemed to just stop or something...
3) I like the cartoon strip "Baby Blues" Yep! Even have most of the books! I'm missing the last two...
4) I like the cartoon strip "Frank & Ernest" Poorly drawn and plays too much on puns...
5) I like the cartoon strip "Rhymes With Orange" Ditto on the poor drawing...
So, Calidore, you're up!

Not too hard. You've presented yourself as a fan of Doc Savage and the Shadow, and thus as a man who knows quality when he sees it. And Jerry Scott is a genius; he even managed to make Nancy funny.
I love Doonesbury, but that type of humor doesn't work for everyone. I remember liking Frank & Ernest when I was a kid, but it's awfully lame as an adult. I don't know the other two.
I don't drive, but if I did and were able to afford my dream car, it would be one of the following:
1) Chrysler Imperial (Green Hornet)
2) Lincoln Futura (Batman (1966))
3) Pontiac Trans Am (Knight Rider)
4) Dodge Charger (Dukes of Hazzard)
5) Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe (Mad Max)

I'll say #4

Two. That's what I'd choose.
Three to go. Maybe I should add pictures.

I'll go with 1.

Number 3.
Probably time to call this, since it's over a month since I made the original post and the winner's already decided.
My dream car would be #1, though not due to its looks (for aesthetic muscle-car appeal, I'd go for the one nobody picked, the Mad Max "interceptor"). My interest is more practical. While channel surfing a while ago, I came across the start of an actual demolition derby, which I hadn't seen on TV since I was a kid. The announcers were running down the list of entered cars (all '70s tanks like Oldsmobiles, Buicks, etc.) and mentioned that the one car that's illegal in every demolition derby in the country is the Chrysler Imperial, because it's 5200 pounds of steel. So that's what I want--a car that can take a hit from any cell-phone-using/texting/makeup-applying/tooth-flossing moron on the road without even blinking.
Scheherazade, you win.

Music to my ears! Could not hear this often enough!Originally Posted by Calidore
So...
When I was young, I wanted to be:
1. a chemist.
2. a doctor.
3. a nurse.
4. a singer.
5. a police officer.

Allow me to guess #4, as it was a dream of my own, once...

Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way

I'll go with #1 for the mad scientist potential.

Two is true.
And that would be correct. Wanted to become a chemist until my senior year at highschool and then changed my mind at the last minute.
Your turn, Calidore.
