In which fictional, fantasy or cartoon universe would you like to live?

[Lord Wortherington]

Off the top of my head, LOTR universe would be cool, if you were living in Hobbiton. I would probably end up living in Dale near Smaug and end up being incinerated. Plus, I'll bet there is a lot of plague in Middle Earth, Tolkien didn't write about that shit.

[DarkTirade]

1. I've been reading a lot of Larry Niven's 'Known Space' stuff lately

I kind of like the whole not aging thing, plus some of the crazy flatlander styles.
Although I don't think I'd want to live on earth in that time period... a little too crowded for my taste.

[WinkyDink]

2. The world of Aqua-Man.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. His Dark Materials.

Especially the world with the animals with wheels.

[RebelSansCause]

10. bingo on the world but no mulefa for me

i want a fucking daemon.

[gmoney]

4. the Simpsons' Springfield might not be bad

...evidently, you can not go to work and still have plenty of time and money to travel, plus hang out with awesome celebrities!

But after 20 years, it would probably get tiresome.

Otherwise, I'll deliver pizzas in the porn universe...

[Kucinich4America]

13. ya know, I never thought about it until you mentioned it.....

...but when WAS the last time we saw Homer at the nuke plant?

Or do they just not show that place anymore, since it was based on the Trojan plant which no longer exists.

[gmoney]

15. they've made a few jokes about it on the show

It's now a location of convenience...

[LSdemocrat]

25. Indeed, also you never grow old and can repeat experiences over and over again

[Mutley]

28. I've thought many a time that I'd love to live in the Simpsons Universe

[MrCoffee]

5. either Prachett's Discworld or Adams' Galaxy

[Withywindle]

6. I vote Discworld!

But with my luck I'd probably wind up a, ahem, seamstress in Ankh-Morpork.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. Hmm....

Super Milk Chan
American Gods
Sandman

[HuskerDU]

8. Hazzard County USA.

That's the place where Bush and Cheney (Roscoe and Boss) scheme every day to harm the people. But the people (Dukes) foil their attempts at every turn. At the end of the day, the orphanage or other worthy charity gets a check and everybody goes down to the bar for bad beer and good music.

[Lord Wortherington]

19. The Dukes of Hazzard as medieval tale

They are "dukes". Archery. Tale of peasant farmers being runoff by landed gentry.

[HuskerDU]

20. Well the Dukes were a 'two modern day Robin Hood!' n/t

[YankeyMCC]

9. Trader Era of the 1st Foundation

Lots of adventure but a strong stable government to return to and provide support. Technological innovation lots of opportunity...only problem would be the coming of the Mule which would be a bummer.

[Faygo Kid]

11. Meet George Jetson, his boy Elroy, daughter Judy, Jane his wife. . .

I'm a lazy guy. George Jetson's world works for me.

Ruh-roh.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. TNG star trek time period, maybe elfquest for fantasy or harry potter

[BrotherBuzz]

14. In a parallel universe I'd be joyriding in a stolen car with Mickey Rat

[Bullwinkle925]

16. "Hooterville" . . .

in "Petticoat Junction" - preferably at the "Shady Rest Hotel".

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. Ahh, you just wanna get nekkid in a water tower

:rofl:

[Connonym]

24. my sisters and I all have Petticoat Junction names, I'm SERIES!

Cathy Sue, Connie Jo, Carol Anne. Normally we drop the second name but when we use them we actually do refer to them as "our Petticoat Junction names"

[Oeditpus Rex]

30. I wouldn't find that particularly amusing

if your maiden names weren't Honeypie.









:hide:

[Fox Mulder]

17. I'd like to live in The Elder Scrolls IV universe.

[SPKrazy]

18. in a galaxy far far away

[Aristus]

21. The Star Wars Universe.

I'd like to live on Alderaan a hundred years or so before the Empire.

Ralph McQuarrie's paintings of the endless grasslands are breathtaking.

Edited to add: A planet at peace; no conflict, no weaponry, plenty of arts, education, serenity, meditation, long walks across the grasses, solitude...

[DerekG]

27. Padme's apartment

And once things go to hell, we'd high-tail it to Endor and live it Walden style.

[Broken_Hero]

22. hmm,

hard to decide, off the top of my head, here are a few places that jump out at me...

The DC Universe

The Marvel Universe

LOTR universe

Sin City......:D

[RFKHumphreyObama]

26. In whatever world it was that had Jed Bartlett as US President

With Matt Santos as his successor. Even if Arnie Vinick had been elected, I'd still consider it a very good place to live

Narnia would also be interesting

[bridgit]

29. Oh, some days historical fiction but not with the fuzzy end of a lolly pop somewhere; other days?

Felix The Cat :thumbsup:

[kas125]

31. Definitely Pine Valley, PA

I haven't watched All My Children in a while, it used to be a thing I shared with my mom, but then she died and it wasn't the same. But soap opera life is pretty exciting. People get to go to college for two months and then inherit a company. A kid can even quit high school and be running daddy's multi-national within weeks. Everyone in town gets great paying jobs for which they are in no way qualified, but nobody WORKS. They show up to gossip or argue for five minutes but no work is ever accomplished for those million dollar paychecks. Even the people with regular jobs like nurses and doctors are only at the hospital when a friend or relative is there, otherwise they're running all over town or across the world. There are lots of scary times there, too, but usually nobody important actually dies, it's usually the bad guys who get killed off, so it seems to be a pretty safe place, too. Not much typical crime. And the best part, if you get sick of your husband, you can trade him for one of the other gorgeous guys who are always around pretty easily and quickly. So, yeah, I think Soap universe would be my choice.

[philosophie_en_rose]

32. Stars Hollow

Everyone is interesting and nothing terrible really happens.

[Arkansas Granny]

33. It would be hard to choose between Larry Niven's Ringworld,

Terry Pratchett's Discworld or Anne McCaffrey's Pern. Anyone got a three sided coin?

[_testify_]

34. HP Lovecraft's New England.

I would love that!
