Well, there's a slew of grammatical errors in there (okay, not necessarily errors, but things that could be better). That doesn't directly point to me of course, but when people don't refer to things in the proper manner, I tend to get it angry. Seems to fit together. I also never refer to my username in the proper manner, because, well, I'm not exactly the bug type. I am known to have energetic exclamations on occasion, and it wouldn't be entirely unusual for me to shout out the name of a wizard in the middle of a conversation. Of course, I'd probably use Harry Potter, but Merlin is cool too. And to tie it in with clue one, I like ALL food, not just specific colors. Whereas some guys might not like to eat pink and purple food (yes, the one of them), I'm fine eating it, so long as it's not a vegetable. But since I don't know any pink and purple vegetables, I don't think I have to worry about that.

Harry Potter!

Under normal circumstances I'd protect myself considering my OCD-ness in regards to grammar, but I know who the Sassy is. I actually couldn't figure out this clue, truthfully. :? So good thing I'm safe!

Okay. But that would be just plain mean, now wouldn't it?

/me looks pointedly at the Assassinator.

You are all horribly off track.

The "Merlin!" in context is followed by something else. The word "Merlin" is never said alone. It is also not referencing Merlin himself.
You have 8 hours remaining. Good Luck.

BWhat do they all have the same of?
AThe Lady died with him but was not born until long after, in 1954.
Correction: A + B + [space] + [Two letters, both uppercase]
If the Lady were real, she would not have died 362 years before she was born.

Hmm. Well, I knew the last part, but the new hint . . . is tricky. I'm fairly sure it doesn't refer to me, but I have no real leads. I will post my thoughts if I figure something out.

However, they would never refer to them in the proper manner. I see the mark.- maybe that person calls Native Americans, Indians.

In Harry Potter, Hermione said, "Merlin's pants!" I think it's beard, like Naps said, but just a thought that came to mind.
