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.
Ooh, tough choice.
Cooking..................
wink wink
I have a thing for English men.
My favorite is of course, Hugh Grant.
Alan Rickman, while not particularly attractive, has something sort of maturely sexy about, him sans the Die Hard role.
and Colin Firth, well, he's just plain sexy!
You left ME off your list?
I am drowning my sorrows.....you suck.
I know someone would would like to have copious beers with me. That would be the Whyisa. Her nefarious purpose would be to get me drunk enough so she could have her way with me. Imagine the priceless look on her mug when she finds out that that's enough beer to inhibit any performance on my part. Hah! That'll learn 'er!
Dead: Plato. Thomas Jeffereson. Tom Paine. Or possibly Lysander Spooner.
Bo Bice? LOL.
Now Dasher I understand. She's on my list too. Different motivations though. ;o)
I cannot watch english period pieces. Sorry, can't do it! :)
Contest over, we have a winner.
Who was the guy who charged the mound and got his ass kicked?
I'm glad he's around. He would not want you to know about his 20-something behavior!
ME, Pissant and Bo -
Do we have to go for that drink together?
;-)
(you are a sweetie!)
There is no limitation on quantity here!
Very good choices.
LOL. Exactly. Fiance or not
Darn, I'll be right back - have to stop delivery of the beer to your apartment..........;^)
STERLING MOSS!!!
Great IDEA!!!
Jimmy Clark?
Bruce McLaren?
Enzo?
I do suck! Please Forgive me and post your choices!
Walter Williams? How about Thomas Sowell?
