In case you didn't read the last thing I uploaded… there is, according to our official count: TWENTY FOUR ROGER HUGS. (You have to watch closely. And put that pause button to good use.) This is very important news that we thought should be stressed again and again.
TWENTY FOUR ROGER HUGS. TWENTY FOUR ROGER HUGS. TWENTY FOUR ROGER HUGS. TWENTY FOUR ROGER HUGS. TWENTY FOUR ROGER HUGS.
Got the message? We certainly hope so. There may be a pop quiz later…
Okay, this installment is all about the things Roger likes more than anything in the whole wide world. They are the things that are beautiful to him, that touch his heart.
Welcome to the World of Roger Likes!
ROGER LIKES…
1.) Hugging! (OBVIOUSLY!) Any questions? Please refer to Chapter 1 of this fanfic. If you still have question after reading that, then honey, we can't help you.
2.) Cookie dough. You see, when anyone comes over to Roger and says, "Hey Roger! Let's make cookies!" … cookies to Roger are the moist sticky batter from the bowl. We actually aren't if Roger's had a real cookie. He never gets to that part. The batter bowl is always mysteriously licked clean before anyone can blink. And did we mention… what his uses as a spoon? It looks like we didn't. BARBIE DOLL… cough. Mark's Barbie doll… cough cough. Cough… you didn't hear it from us!
3.) Kroger. This is Roger's favorite store. His favorite hobby is to go Krogering. You know why? Huh? Do yah do yah? Well… obviously it is because Kroger has his name in it. And of course, Roger thinks Roger is like, the most prettiest name in the world ever named.
4.) His random chair on the roof. It inspires him…. The following is an excerpt from "Oh Chair" a song written by the one and only Roger Davis: "Oh chair… on the roof… lalalala... I love you! Oh chair… you can fold, and you have a cushion…lalalala!" We want to sit in Roger's random chair.
5.) Mimi. We don't really to go into that. You know the story… the whole deal with 14th street. No details necessary.
6.) Plaid pants. Um… they're sexy? Does he need a better reason? Not that he doesn't look hot without them… but Roger and plaid pants go together like schoowhopschoowhopdoowippitiybamboom.
7.) Scented candles. If you are going to have candles all over your house… we think, why not make them scented? What have you got to lose? Nothing. His favorite scent is warm vanilla sugar… don't ask the reason. (accusing stare) Did YOU JUST ASK THE REASON? Fine… it makes him want to eat the candle. Mark's actually had to restrain him a couple times. We can just see it: "No…NO! Roger… don't eat that… no that… that's a candle! BAD ROGER! BAD! NO!"
8.) Teddy bears. Well he is one! I mean, he can't very well hate himself, now can he? Unless he's emo. Wait… is he? Question… PLEASE ANSWER. Moving on… Roger also had a teddy bear as a child named Mister McFumms. And Mister McFumms, through a series of unfortunate events, had a tragic accident with a garbage disposal. And a steamroller…. oh, and a stampede of muddy pigs. Not to mention the meat slicer. Oops, we mentioned it. Well, now you know. Roger actually originally wrote a song about dear Mister McFumms but they wouldn't put it in the movie or musical… because it "didn't relate to anything." (pats Roger's shoulder) I relates to us, Roger. We understand. Plus, some people are just discriminatory toward teddy bears. It's a sad sad world we live in, peeps.
9.) Dish soap. Roger has a fascination with dish soap because when you squeeze the bottle it makes a whistley noise. And sometimes… if you get really lucky………….. BUBBLES!
10.) Fire. Come on! He throws it out the window, lights things randomly and has candles all around… do we need to tell you how to watch the movie??? You take the disc out of the case; turn your DVD player on… open the disc slot… stick it in. Then, close the disc slot and… (Whispers conspiratorially) PRESS PLAY. Continue to watch screen as movie plays for its duration. Any questions?
11.) April… THE MONTH! Roger's birthday's in April. Not that he doesn't like his ex-girlfriend, but as we all know… dead people make Roger sad. Unless it's the three little pigs. He really doesn't like that story… still has nightmares about it, the poor dear. It scares the buhjeepers out of him… don't worry, it scares us too, Roger.
12.) Green… THE COLOR! Is there any other kind of green? Well, Roger does have green eyes… and a green shirt, and……………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. (Enough dots!) (No more dots!) (Two authors squabble about dots!) ……………………………………………. and some other third green object. Fill in the blank. Whoops, we forgot a blank. Oh well.
13.) Canada. His cousin is from Canada. His cousin has a frog, too. A GREEN frog. Yeah… doesn't get much cooler than that.
14.) Apricots. Because they're magical. Or should we say… abracadabracotts?
15.) Captain Crunch. Not only does Collins seem to bring it to him and Mark a lot… but a little known fact about Roger is that his second life goal… besides writing that one great song: is to be CRUNCHITIZED. Collins caught him screaming at a random ship on the water… "CRUNCHITIZE ME, CAP'N!"
16.) BBQ chicken. Because then he can go to Buffalo Wild Wings and read their witty little wet napkin wrappers.
17.) His favoritest animal is the hippo. He wants one for Christmas. No, not a crocodile OR a rhinoceros… he only likes hippopotamususes.
18.) Fuzzy socks… his feet are naturally cold-blooded.
19.) Annoying the hell out of Mark. Let's face it, that would be pretty fun. ("I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you!" "Roger would you STOP doing that?!!!")
20.) His hair. Because a rockstar without nice hair is like a rockstar without hair at all.
21.) His guitar… which is named Lucinda. He's had it since eighth grade. He cried buckets (literally, buckets were falling out of his eyes!) when he sold it for that piece of junk car. And his new guitar that he buys after selling the car is named Lucinda II.
22.) He used enjoy discreetly shining Benny's head when he was sleeping… so it would look extra hurt-your-eyes shiny, but since Benny betrayed him, things have changed. Now he enjoys dressing as an old man and following Benny around with a large flock of pigeons, hoping they will poop on him. And you know that bum Benny yells at to get off the Range Rover? That's Roger… who magically teleports himself from the fire escape to Benny's car. Oh yeah, and a matter of minutes later, notice that he jumps BACK onto Benny's car. Vindictive, much?
23.) Slutty clothes… not on him, of course! Take note of April and Mimi's fashion sense… yeah, slutty. Especially Mimi. And yet, he loves them anyway.
24.) Singing greeting cards. Come on… they sing! And he never gets any in the mail. (We need to get his address and send him one: a congratulations one for getting out of the house! Yay for not being a HERMIT!)
25.) Going along with the random chair, he feeds his pigeons up there on the roof. They all have names: Andrew, April, Steve McQueen, Christine, Paul, Riff, Elphaba, Kiki, Dupree, Leo Bloom, Roxie Hart, and last but not least… Captain Jack Pigeon.
26.) Land Before Time. It reminds him of his life. It's like opening up a scrapbook for him… it is a window into his very soul.
27.) His favorite class in high school was Humanities. Besides band of course. It still embarrasses him, but hey… whatever you do DON'T TELL COLLINS.
28.) He likes going into his car with wet hair… so the wind dries it… and it gets so fluffy fluff. Like marshmallows. Blond marshmallows. Yum.
29.) TREES. Because even if tress don't hug back, he likes the environment. Notice all the scribbles in his notepad… when he's writing Your Eyes. He couldn't turn the page and start over… that'd be killing another tree.
30.) Shiny things. Like a squirrel. Notice the silver chain he has attached to all of his outfits. We're convinced that he attaches it to his pajama pants as well. And if Roger sleeps in the nude…Oh god, we won't go there.
