Cheers, Cavanaugh! (and my blogiversary contest winners)

Wahooo, it's AlexFest time!! AlexFest is hosted by Mark Koopmans, Morgan Shamy, David Powers King and Stephen Tremp. It lasts from December 10-12, and is going to be SO much fun.

This 'fest requires that we answer 4 questions. My answers are below:

In +/- 20 words, what does Alex look like?
I imagine him with some really cool shades and a slicked-back hairdo, since ya know, he's a bit of a rock star around the blogosphere. ;)

In +/- 20 words, who could play Alex in a documentary? (Living or dead.)
For some reason the first name that popped into my head was Joss Whedon. haha

In +/- 20 words, who does Alex remind you of?
He reminds me of Alex J. Cavanaugh, this legendary blogger dude I heard about once...!

In +/- 100 words, (excluding the title) write flash fiction using all these prompts:

The ninja melted shadow-like into Cavanaugh's Bar and Restaurant, seeking the fiend who had stolen the greatest of treasures from him. He flicked his eyes around the room and quickly spotted his quarry. Moving more languidly than any cat, he made his way over to Mr Jon Cosbolt's table and spoke these dramatic words:

"Hhhhhello. My name is Alex. You kill my guitar. Prepare to die!"

Mr Jon Cosbolt was almost ready to laugh at what he took for a joke when the ninja launched his attack, moving faster than lightning in a blur of deadly hands and feet.

The last word uttered by the heinous destroyer of stringed instruments, Mr. Jon Cosbolt, was an involuntary "IWSG!" and then it was all over. In the wake of his vengeance, the ninja slid away into the night, never to be seen in that part of town again.

And that's my contribution! ;) Happy 'fest day Alex!!
