My favorite ship was the America (CVA-66), probably because it was my nugget deployment.

Yep Kim/Shego is a crack pairing. If Ron/Monkeyfist is considered a Crack pairing you Can't say Kim/Shego isnt one. You can't have it both ways. Both are same sex relationships that are involve a hero and a villian. How can one be different? Just because it's popular does not mean the pairings not a crack one. So yep i'm glad some people can see this. It's simply about the way you define it. I haven't heard of the term "Crack Pairing" before, so I use a definition I either created myself based on the posts in here or it was posted somewhere. "Pairings that aren't popular but that you like". And Kim and Shego, if you want/like it or not, is in the top 3 of the most popular couples. Top 3. That must mean it has to be possible and realistic in canon. Seriously, what i said is not only my view. Other people believe Kim/Shego is a crack pairing also. This is how some see it. Basicaly what brought this up is people saying MonkeyFist/Ron is a Crack Pairing but Kim/Shegos not. That's a double standard imo. How is MonkeyFist/Ron any different then Kim/Shego? I assume Crackpairing mean pairings that don't make any sense and Crack is used as a bad thing. So then how are those different? Crack is a popular drug but that does not mean it's not bad. You're just going to jump at any oportunity to show you're against Kigo, right? What is there to be against? Nothing. It doesnt exist to me. You wan't to know what my definition of a crack pairing is? It's anything that TPTB or MBS the creators of the show did not think of or do because it's so unrealistic. TPTB say Kim & Ron were always meant to be together since the show started. So basically any other pairing that involves those two is crack because of TPTB.

Let's just ask beeftony if he changes the title into "Unusual pairing" and your "argumentation" if nullified. And why does it have to be canon and all that to be popular? Gee...

I respect Bob, Mark, Steve, and the rest of the gang. So anything else is considered a crack pairing. Hey if the thread title is changed ill just change crack pairing to unusuall. Seriously you guy's don't have to get in debates with me after every single post I make. I'm not calling anybody out. You don't have to agree with me. I'm just stating my view. You don't see me going in that one kim/shego thread. I stay out of it. Seriously let me have my opinion. Im not being hostile about it or anything. So what if i use the same argument? That's not a crime. Let's just move on.

Getting one thing straight...... Crack Pairing is anything not possibly canon. Slash pairing is same-sex pairings. All slash pairings are crack pairings, but not all crack pairings are slash pairings. Crack pairings can also include straight pairings that are not canon (or close to canon.......)... like that Hego/Kim thing. Lawl. So, in my opinion... MF/Ron and Kigo are BOTH Crack pairings (and also both slash pairings).
Oh, and Monkey Fist is prettymuch hot with anyone (hottest with Ron though). I would love more fics/pics of him with Drakken or Kim or Shego. Don't know why XD It's just hot.

As I said, the definition you have of Crack Pairing is different. But acording to your point of view, even Shego/Drakken would be a crack pairing because it's not canon either. So acording to you, "Crack Pairing = Not Canon". But honestly, man, being canon or not doesn't have anything to do with being a crack pairing or not. And by the way, so far, only you and Sarah Ashley T. classified Kigo as a crack pairing, and for the record, Ashley didn't even seem to be aware of Kigo's popularity.

only you and Sarah Ashley T. classified Kigo as a crack pairing. KPfan5678 and Luke Danger who have both posted in this thread. Also a whole lot more who are just smarter than I who did not come in this thread. I should have done the same thing. My bad.

MF/Ron and Kigo are BOTH Crack pairings (and also both slash pairings). Good definition and great examples. Brittina/Camille Bonnie/Mego M.C. Honey/Ned A crack pairing/fic idea that occurred to me during a lull at work: Monique/ Motor Ed. .. It gets very quiet at the library sometimes. Personally, and I guess it's cause I'm a straight girl, I don't care for any of the girl/girl crack-pairings, mostly just girl/guy or guy/guy, but I wouldn't call myself a "Yaoi-addict" at all. I'm a straight female, too and I don't have a problem with girl/girl pairings. Personal taste, I guess. It's mostly the hero/villain pairings that leave me cold, whether they are same-sex pairings or not. I would just call myself addicted to certain pairings. So would I. KiMonique, anyone? ;D

Looks like everybody have their personal definition of what a crack pairing is. I`ve never heard that term before, so I just read beeftony`s definition and believed it. But now I`m not so sure. I don`t have a crack pairing, though.
But they do have a point when a crack pairing is considered an unusual pairing. To K/R people KiGo is highly unusual. But I`m not so sure if Kim and Shego hate each other now as they did in So The Drama. They`re not anywhere near having the same attitude toward each other. Like at the end of Mad Dogs and Aliens. Do Kim and Shego really hate each other`s guts anymore?

Kigo is a crack pairing. There, that's at least three votes. Don't really have any "crack" KP pairings. Well, maybe Nana/Senior, as I could see her falling for a elegant gentleman like SSS (provided, of course, that he stop being a villain). Though I have had a few crack pairings in Animaniacs before - Yakko/Rita anyone? (Or Furball/Rita? I thought she deserved someone better than Runt...)

I'm adding Drakken/Drakken'sPrincess now ^_^ I don't think that's a crack pairing in any way. It actually works! I call it a fanon ship (i.e a ship between a fan and a character)

Okay, so in case any of you D/DP shippers are wondering, I did write up a little paragraph on why we would work.... ;D Let's takes DrakkensPrincess advice. Come on DrakkensPrincess and tell us Why you and Drakken would be a wonderful couple? Well, okay, but this is only hypothetical discussion for the sole purpose of getting us back on topic, because I respect that Drakken and Shego are together on this board. He's always saying that he wants support and he wants his greatness to be recognized. Well, I basically worship him so I think I could fill that department. I've always been drawn to characters who need sympathy, because sympathy is like, my middle name. I also feel like every time he gets betrayed or mistreated he could use someone who'd be there for him and make him feel better. And I would. Another thing is that we have a lot of the same interests, so when he's excited and or enthusiastic about something, I think he needs someone to share that excitement with, and I would. Of course all these reasons are also perfect reasons for us to be friends too. And I'm cool with us just being friends if Shego is who he really wants. But the poll seemed to be asking what our ideal couple would be, and for Drakken to be with me would be my ideal couple, if it isn't really going to happen.

So what if i use the same argument? That's not a crime. Let's just move on. The problem with your opinion is that it precludes others from expressing theirs. I'm perfectly willing to leave you alone if you acknowledge that my views are just as valid as yours. So far you haven't.
