So, what do you think about crack pairings? Before you ask "WTF IS A CRACK PAIRING ALSO WHY IS THE CREEPY NEW KID TALKING TO ME", a summary...

I'm choosing to take a more loose interpretation of the term, which is a pairing that has little-to-no canonical possibility that the original shipper could view as working.
I know there are some of them out there, but I want to know what you think. What pairings that could be considered crack do you like, and what do you think of Crack Pairings as a whole?
I personally ship Karen/Cynthia. Why? ...no particular reason, I just think they'd be cute together. ^^;

Shipping beyond all bounds of sanity. There are official couples and there are couples drawn from more-or-less subjective subtext, and then there are these. Characters who are shipped together despite barely even having a relationship in canon. Sometimes they haven't even met in canon. Sometimes they don't even belong to the same 'verse (that's what cross overs are for, after all) or to the same species.
Crack pairings range from the making-you-scratch-your-head-in-puzzlement weird, to the eyes-gouging-with-a-fork-inducing weird. But they always leave you asking "Why? By all that is holy, WHY?"
