redfiona9915 Pairings You Like in 15 Words or Less (now with a second set of clues)
I think the original meme asked for OTPs but I have about 5 of those, so I've changed it to just pairings in general. Guess away, most are screamingly obvious if you know the fandom.
1. He knows she doesn't speak Minbari. She's the right hand of vengence.
2. Big Puppy/Big Kitty. The king of repression/possibly the only one who might challenge him for that title/
3. The major X-men on and off train wreck. Rogue and Gambit as guessed by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

4. She let him be valedictorian. He knows. She knows that he knows. And so on. In the end, she stands by him.
5. Tea and a country girl. The snobby Brit, and and his best girl. Regal and Molly guessed by one_more_cherry
6. A green slinky dress of a pairing. "You ever have a warrior woman"
7. My reason for a thing for mentor/mentee.Flair/Orton as guessed by scoobydumblonde
8. One day he will stop putting his foot in it when he talks to her. And on that day, he won't call her a whore.
9. He can't copy her nose. But he did a lot of other things for her, mainly bad
10. His dark queen. He brought her to Sunnydale to make her better.
11. Three part name and why unrequited love is awesome. Manchester edition. He can name all the Doctors. In order.
12. He took her to the hangman of Lille. And won't ever get over her.
13. He's still atoning for the Marquis de St. Cyr. And is still the man she married, however much he hides it.
14. Light it. Not even the Allience could keep them apart.
15. A techie and a dead guy.Tosh/Owen also guessed by scoobydumblonde

So I was on yahoo, and they had an article about Obama's inauguration, "Five Things to Watch Out For" (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20090119/pl_ynews/ynews_pl202) and
5. The ringleader
81-year-old Charlie Brotman will be a familiar face on a day that's full of change. He has been the announcer for 13 inauguration parades, starting in 1957 for Eisenhower's second term. He's often quite a hoot: Brotman got in trouble with the Secret Service for sorta, kinda, not really asking George W. Bush to throw out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals opening game. AP adds:
After all, he's the announcer who got the crowd, including the VIPs, to do the "wave" while waiting for late-arriving Bill Clinton in 1997.
And Brotman doesn't take his job lightly. He told USA Today:
"People are standing. They are freezing, and they may have been there for an hour or two, so I try to create some entertainment," he said. "It's as though these people are coming over to my house. I want them to have a nice time and a good memory."
Sounds like he's got something good up his sleeve for this year.
This man sounds so very, very cool.
