Who Would You Choose to Have a Beer With? (past or present)

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.

Sorry, I didn't mean for that to be sappy - When I hear stories of how some Fathers are, I know I was blessed with an incredible one - even if for a short time. I learned from my Father what type of man I wanted to spend my life with - and I found him....... I'm very lucky and thankful

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

[pissant]

She would not turn you down!

It was not sappy. It was beautiful. I lost my father when I was five.

[TADSLOS]

Can I come?

Sure but you need to bring your own saber and bottle of whiskey. Sam Grant don't share much.

[pissant]

HA! I'll do that!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Sorry to hear that - I guess the real answer to your question about who to share a beer with would be:

"Do we really need a reason to drink beer?" lol

[pissant]

Answer: no!
