If you could have a beer/dinner with 4 people in the last 100 years...

Two less heard of people that I'm considering are Jim Harrison and Ranulph Fiennes. Harrison might especially be hard to leave off. The main reason I'm not 100% is I have only in the last few years became aware of him.

If they would answer any questions I would have to have J. Edgar Hoover on my list.

 

I really considered him as one of my four. If he would share secrets he'd be at the top.

* Okay, I know it says four. I'll get one of them takeout.

 

 

My choice of takeout?

This is very true. I'd have to consider him if we give them truth serum before dinner.

Scratch that takeout question...no way I am missing this meal. No Sir.

The Bushes are also two that I would highly consider as well.

Nikola Tesla

Bob Dylan

Winston Churchill

Toss-up between Ernest Hemingway and Hunter S. Thompson

 

I'm still sticking with mine...but at this point I think I'd go with Hemingway over Thompson. Thompson would be number 5, Muhammad Ali would be number 6 - and although I would want to be able to communicate clearly with him, there's no way I wouldn't want to talk to current day Ali rather than pre-Parkinsons Ali. Number 7 would probably be Teddy Roosevelt.

 

Other folks I'd be rather interested to hear from would be Muddy Waters, Black Jack Pershing, Patton, Truman (how interesting would it be to chat about the decision to drop the atomic bomb???). Another couple guys who I think would just be darn cool to sip some suds with would be Sean Connery and Michael Caine. Those two have been awesome for decades. I'd just like to see what they're like and hear some stories.

I think I just assumed the sharing secrets thing was a part of the deal. That's the only reason I'd pick GHWB.

You beat me to the punch on this one. It's a shame MOST people have no idea who he is, got 3 books on the man in my small collection of reading material. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla

 

Dude's insanely significant to the modern world...like no one even realizes!! I do think I'd prefer to chat with him prior to his unfortunate "OCD/I love pigeons" stage of life, though.

If you can afford the appearance fees (ok, bar tab) we can make this happen! :D

 

I'm not getting into that. :lol:

 

We're doing McDonald's & you guys are eating off the dollar menu. And waters around the house. :lol:

Jim Morrison

Jimi Hendrix

Timothy Leary

John Dillinger

The thread is four people to have a beer/dinner with so we'd at least have to go to one of those White Castles that serves beer now. Right? :D
