OT Discussion for a slow Monday. Who would you spend a day with?
Just to pass the time. So you can spend a day with any one person on earth. Who would it be and why? Let me throw in a few rules to eliminate the obvious. Keep it to 3 options, you do not get to have any form of adult situations with them. No religous figures, and to keep it interesting, if you choose someone from history, your day would be spent in their era. I'll start;
Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock - Would have loved to have been at Woodstock and who better to be there with then one of the greatest musicians ever
Jesse James - Love the old west, and would have loved the outlaw lifestyle
Anybody that was at the Roswell crash site that night - I need to know man
I want to know just how insane she really is. I'm convinced that if she wasn't rich and famous she'd be locked up getting ECT.
I think you have Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus mixed up.
Listen to the words of some of her recent songs (my wife is a fan). That chick is bi-polar as fuck.
Miley is just a whore.
Colonel Corso who was there and was a high ranking military official. He told of saucer craft and deceased extraterrestrial bodies. I would like to have been with him through his observations, and the government's reversal of their initial announcement. Fascinating.
My son's first job when he hit L.A. was as an extra in many t.v. movies. One of the reasons was learning the city. The other, of course, is because it was kind of cool. You can catch a glimpse of him in the movie Dodgeball when Stiller is doing an ad for his gym. My son is behind him on the bench press.
But he phoned one night to tell me he had been on stage with Catherine Zeta Jones. I asked if he had a chance to talk to her, all the interesting stuff to which the answers were all no. I just cut to the chase and asked him what he thought. His answer, "She is phucking HOT!!!"
Yeah, I guess that's a thing you would want to share with the old man.
Consider, as well, that was roughly 13 years ago so.............yeah, thinking the same.
I'm not much of a people person.
George Carlin
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Robert Reich
To laugh with - Chris Farley. This man was my childhood.
To learn from - Alexander the Great. Not sure if his success was largely due to himself or his generals, but if he himself wasn't great, he knew how to surround himself with the greatest.
To know what he/she knows - Whoever runs the show at Area 51. Come on, who can honestly sit there and tell me they don't want to know all the mysterious shit going on over there?
To be inspired by - Winston Churchill. Any man that can take on the Third Reich on his own and push them to a stalemate is someone I want to meet. Even just re-reading his "We shall never surrender" speech gives me the chills. The man had balls to defiantly stand up to who he did, and history will remember him for it forever. That, and considering how often he drank/smoked cigars, he sounds like he'd be a fun guy to sit around the fireplace with a bottle of scotch and just shoot the shit.
Zach Galifianakis, Nancy Silverton (Los Angeles pastry chef), and Pete Townshend.
Benedict Arnold - so I could watch his traitor ass hung.
Benjamin Franklin - when he got his ass lit up with lightning.
Slash - St. Louis riot.
Because I think she would be a great conversationalist.
Or something like that.
He died when I was in sixth grade. I don't think I ever recovered from it for some reason.
My younger self. I'd like to find out why I was so angry despite having a loving family.
Gen. Patton. I like his style.
It would have been fascinating to be part of President Kennedy's cabinet during the Cuban Missle Crisis. Talk about high stakes poker.
Also would have been awesome to be with Seal Team Six the day they got Bin Laden.
I know someone mentioned this already, but being with Bo's crew in 1969 when they crushed Ohio State would have been great. What a week of practice that must have been!

She passed away after several years with Lou Gehrig's disease exactly one month before my daughter, who would have been her first grandchild, was born.
I'd introduce my girls to their grandmother. She would love them so much.
Although the pace would probably kill me, gotta be one of the top thrills possible for a Wolverine fan.
