Mutating Genres Meme
Here's the dealio, yo. Pharyngula started this meme to see how it mutates over time.
First, the rules:
There are a set of questions below that are all of the form, "The best [subgenre] [medium] in [genre] is...".
Copy the questions, and before answering them, you may modify them in a limited way, carrying out no more than two of these operations:
* You can leave them exactly as is.
* You can delete any one question.
* You can mutate either the genre, medium, or subgenre of any one question. For instance, you could change "The best time travel novel in SF/Fantasy is..." to "The best time travel novel in Westerns is...", or "The best time travel movie in SF/Fantasy is...", or "The best romance novel in SF/Fantasy is...".
* You can add a completely new question of your choice to the end of the list, as long as it is still in the form "The best [subgenre] [medium] in [genre] is...".
* You must have at least one question in your set, or you've gone extinct, and you must be able to answer it yourself, or you're not viable.
Then answer your possibly mutant set of questions. Please do include a link back to the blog you got them from, to simplify tracing the ancestry, and include these instructions.
Finally, pass it along to any number of your fellow bloggers. Remember, though, your success as a Darwinian replicator is going to be measured by the propagation of your variants, which is going to be a function of both the interest your well-honed questions generate and the number of successful attempts at reproducing them.
The best time travel novel in SF/Fantasy is: To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis
The best scary movie in scientific dystopias is: Children of Men
The best sexy song in pop music is: Real Love by Mary J. Blige
The best cult novel in American 20th century fiction is: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
The best high-carb food in Italian cooking is: cheese lasagne!

Tagged also, but I've decided to be the chlorine in the genepool.
As if I don't have enough to do . . .
Been tagged several times as well... I'm chasing a Darwin Award I guess.
Yes, I'm a curmudgeon and a spoilsport. I promise to not skip on the next meme that you tag me for.
Hi! Emma Watson!!!
nude Emma Watson
Jingle, Bells
(1)
Dashing thro' the snow,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bobtail ring,
Making spirits bright;
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight!
(Refrain:) Jingle, bells! Jingle, bells!
Jingle all the way!
Oh! What fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!
(2)
Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young;
Take the girls tonight,
And sing this sleighing song.
Just get a bob-tailed bay,
Two-forty for his speed;
then hitch him to an open sleigh,
And crack! You'll take the lead.
