Who would you choose?

[Guest M*****ss****e]

Just because I enjoy random opinions and perspectives, I pose this question;

 

If you could have a drink with one person from the past, who would it be and why?

 

It can be any one from any time.

 

I'll start with Elizabeth Taylor, because I think the classy lady deserves one extra shot and a laugh :) I mean, it's just a drink afterall, and I'd love to hear about her life :)

 

Ok, next

[roamingguy 300292]

A friend and fishing buddy, who died from a heart attack seven years ago

Still miss him, still miss going out fishing with him

I know, not a celebrity, but he's a friend from my past

Awww, that's sweet. I had too many people from my personal to pick from unfortunately, so I went superficial.... I'm a wee bit of a coward like that :P

[Victoria Banks 21899]

Marilyn Monroe

[Phaedrus 209521]

Tough one... but I'd have to go with Richard Feynman. Christopher Hitchens is a close second, but I doubt it'd be just one drink with him...

[Nicolette Vaughn 294340]

Elvis Presley! A person with such remarkable qualities but also the complexities of a man and that of a world renowned entertainer that made him that much more fascinating.

[The General 11309]

Nicki, I would pick that too, but I think I am going to have to go with a sports icon. I am going to pick Babe Ruth.

 

Seems he was the people's player, just a lot of fun, liked to party, but man oh man, the guy would play ball. I bet he has some stories that would probably make Tiger Woods' adventures look tame. Good thing there wasn't as much instant media in those days, and besides, he would have just found them a playmate to keep them happy too.

 

Oh yes, now I know why I wanted to meet him, it wasn't because of the baseball, it was because he would have been a "CERB" man all the way.

 

Elvis Presley! A person with such remarkable qualities but also the complexities of a man and that of a world renowned entertainer that made him that much more fascinating.

[Bear34 1339]

I think I would have to go with George Carlin

 

I'm a huge fan of standup and he had some great ideas

 

think it would be a great conversation.

[whatsup 11893]

Bill Clinton, I would like to advise him not to leave DNA on the dress. LOL

 

On a more serious note I would love to meat Marilyn Chambers. ;-)

 

To be really serious I would like to meet Albert Einstien E=MCsquared. He is way smarter than my dumbphone as I could not even put a root in place.

 

Maybe I will take in south again ;-) and when Penelope visits us again I will put the root in its place. :-):-):-)

[Winnipegcub 21293]

I'll go with Howard Hughes.

From the little I know an interesting/successful businessman and somewhat a unique character.

[stevecurious 42059]

Without a doubt John F. Kennedy! I find the man, the family and the circumstances surrounding his life (and death) to be intriguing. I have been to the JFK Presidential Library and Museum and enjoyed EVERY moment of it.

[AndyofHalifax 15339]

Richard Feynman would have a contender for me as well, but since Phaedrus already picked him, I'll go with Ernest Hemingway. The man had so many adventures in his life and it would be fascinating to hear a few of his stories.

[Cato 160314]

Shakespeare. I have no doubt that he did it, but how?

[Real Deal 783]

Winston Churchill. whose determination with FDR saved the western world

[omehgosh 736]

My first choice was Einstein... but as much as I'm fascinated by him, and as interesting as a drink with him might seem, I realize I likely wouldn't have much in common with him at all (probably nothing other than a bad hair day!)...

 

I'm going to go with Jaco Pastorious.

[Guest My***tLixx]

Marilyn Monroe

I was just going to say Marliyn Monroe too, but you beat me to it Sin Cindy! I think she'd just have so many interesting stories to tell, plus everyone wanted to be with Marilyn Monroe back then...the original sex symbol! Since that pick is yours, and since I'm also a bit of a writer, I'll have to go with Edgar Allen Poe. I'd love to hear his stories in person...

[Secrets of Victoria 7208]

this was a tough one, as a few people I thought of were already chosen.

 

My choice would be Betty Paige, she symbolized the fantasy for men and her photographs absolutely ooze sex appeal

[loopie 15358]

Since Howard Hughes is taken, I'll take L. Ron Hubbard, that's gotta be amusing.

[1963Kennedy 10698]

Dean Martin: adore his singing and loved him in Rio Bravo.

[billybob 20128]

Queen Victoria, can you imagine the stories she could tell :)

[frenchbrute 1090]

Well..I see alot of quite diffirent selections from artists, to poets, to comedians to actresses...I guess I'll go with Leonardo Davinci..I mean come on..you know your interesting when people watch movies about you and they are all think you always spoke in code and there are all kinds of worldly theories as to what the "Mona Lisa" represents...just that conversation would be enough to ask him about let alone his other inventions we've never heard about!

[Guest dame*****n09*]

Cato took Shakespeare, my no. 1 pick. Going to have to go with Montaigne.

Special to Cato: how did he do it? By being a genius, that's how :)

[Ashley Ann 75247]

The beautiful & mesmerizing Marilyn Monroe-we would drink Champagne and my first question would be: What the hell did those Kennedy brothers do to you

[Kate von Katz 49953]

Marcus Aurelius. He was a Stoic (think western Buddhism), so on that alone I'd love to pick his brain. He was also an accomplished writer and leader.
