Got a good question for Fuel? Send it to inbox@gapersblock.com!

Yes, this is a silly question -- that's sort of the point. Me, I'd hate to have Napoleon running around, barking orders at me and insisting we can conquer Russia.

I'd hate to have the ghost of someone with a really annoying voice haunting me. Like Tiny Tim, or (when they die) Bobcat Goldthwait or Gilbert Gottfried.

I don't like the idea of being "haunted" so I'm going to go the easy route and say all ghosts.

Woody Allen.

I know he's alive and all, but if his ghost ever turns up at a party I'm at, I'm going to get the ghost of Steve McQueen to kick his ass.

I'm with Annie. There are dead people I'd be interested in being contacted by, but I don't want to be "haunted" by anybody. Getting spooked while I'm trying to rest and recuperate ain't my thing!

John Wayne Gacy.

He epitomizes all of my grandmother's ghoulish warnings and all of my childhood nightmares, and also resembles a PR photographer whom I took classes from in college who was completely bland but deeply creepy and transparently lecherous .

1) The Ghost of 1993. Not a good year.

2) The Ghost of Girlfriends Past

idi amin's ghost. what a prick.

annie / June 9, 2009 1:37 PM

ah, Marie. Good answer, I totally agree. I feel "haunted" by her now and she's alive and kicking.

Freddy Kruger
or Shadow People

Mo / June 10, 2009 12:30 AM

Zelda from Pet Sematary. Terrifying.

Jill / June 10, 2009 10:30 AM

Casper. Would think "friendly ghost" might soon become "perky and annoying ghost."

Baldeesh / June 10, 2009 11:51 AM

Richard Simmons.

It would be really amusing at first, but I bet it would wear off fast.

printdude / June 10, 2009 3:37 PM

I ain't afraid of no ghost.

Dan / June 10, 2009 3:51 PM

Valerie Solanas

crystal clear / June 10, 2009 6:23 PM

a clown ghost

Spook / June 11, 2009 10:40 AM

I don't know Mo, Rachel was pretty creepy when she came back

Dubi / June 11, 2009 8:16 PM

Patrick Swayze, because I don't like to be interrupted when I do my ceramics.

Sutton / June 11, 2009 10:34 PM

Groucho Marx. I would always have a snappy comeback @ my beck and call.

PMan / June 11, 2009 11:11 PM

My first thought would be truly sadistic people, Stalin, Hitler, Gacy, etc., but on reflection, if they couldn't have a physical effect on me or the wider world, I might enjoy taunting my ghost. I'm someone with an aversion to Lionel Richie music, so it would be bad to be haunted by that.
