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.

Actually I'd add Victorio before I'd add Crazy Horse.....Crazy Horse had 5 thousand to ultimately lose, Victorio was the king of small unit ops IMO.....:o)

Why is Jersey so far away? Or is it Alabama is far away? I get confused.

"Why is Jersey so far away? Or is it Alabama is far away? I get confused."

I have a theory called, "Geography Sucks". I apply it to times like this!

I like geography except when it causes a distance problem.

That is how my theory originated.

I would bring back Mr. "Tree of Liberty..." himself, Thomas Jefferson for a drink. And after he have a few beers, I would ask him pointblank, "Is it time for another American revolution?"
