Another thread about airport security got me thinking about meeting people, and asking them what they were thinking when they...
If you could meet and talk with anyone, from any time, who is dead or alive, (of course they would be alive when you meet them), whom would it be?
I've thought about this a lot over the years and have decided I'd like to meet Benjamin Franklin. What an amazing mind that worked on so many different levels. I'd really like to get his take on the way things are now.
-
Nikola Tesla.
If he had money to go along with his knowledge he could have been king of the world.
-
Instead it is James Cameron.
I would like to meet Ben too. One of the most brilliant people of all time. I always dream about making a movie about him, cant believe it hasn't been done yet.
Plus, he scored heavy with the babes.

Wow...good one.
For dead guys, I'd have to agree on Dr. Franklin... certainly a radical thinker for his time. Thinker, philosopher, inventor, notorious ladies man, and someone who evidently enjoyed a nice 'buzz' as much as anyone. He had it all. ;D
Actually, most of the founding fathers would no doubt be interesting to meet and chat up. I think Jefferson would be right up there with Franklin on my 'dead guy' list. Of course I'd want a taste of his Monticello homebrew.
Also on the 'dead guy' list, but going back a bit further, I'd love to meet the one that the folklore calls Jesus Christ...I've got a boatload of questions for that dude.
As far as people alive today, there's a dozen people on that list. But to narrow it down, and providing that there was a provision of guarantee for unfiltered answers, I think I'd have a question or three for whoever it is that's top guy in charge of "Area 51"...
I'm not a conspiracy buff, but I still have this nagging feeling that there could be something they might not be telling us...

After several seconds of thought, Joe Rogan. :P

With a tire iron hidden behind your back?
I'd pick Thomas Jefferson.
-
How many can we pick in this time warp?
Im gonna add Stanley Kubrick and also Ed Wood; at the same time and over a beer would be great.
-
Iggy Pop is one of my musical idols, though would have loved to meet Joe Strummer (too late for that).
Dr. Michio Kaku is a brilliant mind that I love to listen to talk (even though I only understand a fraction what he says)
I'd like to share a couple pints with Denny Conn
:o :-[ :D

Uh, not to fight, but to talk about expanding your mind, c**ty people, etc.
-

Only 2 people fit in a delorean right? Flux capacitor takes up any extra room there might have been.
So you only get one.... per trip. :)

Myself, thirty years ago. :)

Do I get to bring my 12 gauge? Adolf in '34.....

Richard Feynmann.
Abe Lincoln.
-
Moses....serious!
Currently alive....I wanna meet Weazletoe and Holly!
-

NOOO, that might cause a rift in the space time continuum. It could also set off a chain of events that may alter the future for the worst. Then from the future some one would have to go back before you got there to stop you. Good guys going back to stop the good guys.
Hmmm, may be a good idea for a movie, or at least a Twilight Zone episode. Could start out with a company that offers time travel tourism.
Oh man, my head hurts, Im gonna lay down now.
-
Where do I start... :)
Jesus Christ
Muhammad
Confucius
Issac Newton
Albert Einstein
Christopher Columbus
to name a few...
-

Adolf who? That was a pretty common name back then in Germany.
I'd choose Bill Hicks.

That's pretty much my list (except I already made plans with Jesus) and would like to add:
William Blackstone
Adam Smith
Julius Caesar
Constantine
Euclid
Pythagoras
Cheops (how did you build those pyramids? How many aliens did it take?)
and my dad...just for 10 more minutes.
-
I forgot one...
Gambrinus ;D
-
Moses....serious!
Currently alive....I wanna meet Weazletoe and Holly!
Wow! Man are you gonna be disappointed when we meet! LOL Cool of you to say, though. It'll happen sooner or later. I still need to get my butt over to Great Western Maling, and see what the deal is there. Been thinking a good place to get grain for myself, too.
My dead guy list would include the prophet Jerimiah (he had quite the life) and Marilyn Monroe. (she's FREAKING HOT!!! see the mancave for my sick obsession)
Alive, I'd like to meet Kat-Von-D, also hot, and Rachel Ray, also hot. As i've said before, Kat can beat the crap outta me, and Rachel can make it all better!!! ;D
-
Randy Mosher... and Jimmy Carter.
-
Osama bin Laden
-
A really hot, dumb and blind blonde (and her equally hot, dumb and blind blonde sister.)
-
I already met them, they kept bumping into one another...

I've always enjoyed the apparent sense of humor that went along with the intelligence of Niels Bohr.
e.g.: "I don't believe in superstition, but I hung a horse-shoe just in case."

All you people that want to meet dead people: you do know that you need to be dead to do this, right?

Yes...some of the greatest people to grace this planet are dead.

-
I don't really want to meet anyone. It can only end in disappointment.
-

Nope, not necessary. Just an experiment of the mind.

Ok, so you're saying acid would be involved.

I always feel like I'd like to meet some of the "great minds" like Bohr, Hawking, Dawkins, Einstein, Babbage, etc. But I always feel as if the most interesting ones would have no patience for my stupidity.
Still, I can't help but wonder what it'd be like to have a seat at the pub table with a group like that. And a few young co-eds.
-
I've always thought it would be fun to party with Curly Howard (3 Stooges)
-
Slight edge over Chuck Norris:
The Dos Equis Guy - he is afterall, the "most interesting man in the world".
The rhetorical question I would ask him: "If You Could Meet Anybody, Whom Would It Be?"
-
Seriously though, there are many named already who would be priorities, but i've always thought it would be interesting to have a pint with Ricky Williams.
-

Ithink that would be a question better left for our resident hippy. DENNY?!?!?!

Excellent choice! Wouldn't that be a pint and a doob though? ;D
GO DOLPHINS!!

Just head to the nearest shopping mall...maybe a puddle jumper for you.

I dunno 'bout you, but she's 18 in my fantasy! ;D

I've though about this carefully, my answer
Jeff in San Diego!!!
