Who Would You Choose to Have a Beer With? (past or present)
Beer Addled Brain | 6/12/05 | Pissant

Posted on 06/12/2005 7:02:22 AM PDT by pissant

Some of our most cherished memories in life revolve around sharing a drink with loved ones and friends. A fine bottle of Cabernet with your spouse on your anniversary. A 12 year old scotch with your father. Shots of tequila with the girl you've been after for months. Etc, Etc.

There are certainly people in our history and living today, that I would give my left nu.., er little toe, to share a beer and a long-winded conversation with. The following is off the top of my head, and hundreds more could be included:

LIVING:

3. Bob Dylan - my all time favorite enigmatic musician

2. Donald Rumsfeld - A real man amongst girly men

1. Mark Steyn - perhaps the most insightful, wittiest man on the planet

DEAD

3. Ernest Hemmingway - one of the few writers of fiction I love.

2. Ronald Reagan - The hero of our times

1. Ben Franklin - My alltime favorite historical figure.

Oh, my apologizes for I didn't know you were in the movie.

I will refrain from comment from now on.

As my old boss used to say: "It takes as much work to make a 200 dollar sale as it does to make a 200,000 dollar sale." Might as well go for the gold...( :-D

A business savvy boss, to say the least.

After all, as I have professed in the past, numbers are all the same, the difference that comes about is where the dot's and comma's are located and the number of punctuations required.

George Washington- What it must have been like when he was alive, is astounding to me. Would love to hear it from his lips.

Jane Austen- My favorite author. I am fasicnated with the 18th/19th century.

I would love to sit in between Queen Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots. I can't help but wonder what those two would have to say to each other?

"Great list! Lee and Grant together? Can I come?"

If they start a chess game, I 'd advise you not to kibbitz.

Good advice!

Hey pissant! What about those of us who think beer is on a level with acid reflux?

I'd suggest therapy for anyone who does not like beer! ;o)
