If you could have a drink with any famous person, who?

[Princeps]

I can think of many people, assuming I can poison the drink.

 

[Counterclaw]

Either Jimmy Stewart or Dean Martin. Probably Jimmy Stewart.

 

[Ares de Borg]

William Marshal, if we could have a combat training session before. Or Leif Erikson.

 

[classical_hero]

Who cares about philosophy or stuff like that. We are lacking more important things here, like something we all desperately need, and that is a woman, so why not have drinks with one of them? So my choice is Ana Ivanovic. It could be my only shot with her, so I might as well try.

Downtown! No, wait...

Myself, circa 1976. Our conversation would be about purchasing stock in Apple, Inc.

There are lots of dead people I'd be interested in chillin' with, but among the living, I have one in particular: Warren Buffet. Maybe we could play bridge together.

Don't you need four for bridge?

 

[Synobun]

I wouldn't have a drink with any famous person, because chances are they aren't all that interesting, and I see no real point in conversing with a dead guy/woman. Though I wouldn't mind talking to some of the brighter minds of this century, people in NASA, independent science organizations, etc. I care about what they have to say more than somebody like Khan or Hitler.

 

[Omega124]

Simo Häyhä, or the White Death. I would love to hear his war stories and how exactly he was able to accomplish his kill count.

 

[SKILORD]

Machiavelli, but I think it would take a few drinks for us to get through the sort of questions I have for Machiavelli. Mostly procedural stuff, working out realpolitik in a democracy, see what he has to say on the subject.

Living?

Colin Meloy.

Well, I didn't know that (yes, Warren would have to actually teach me how to play bridge first), but I've heard that he plays Bridge online with his sister. So we're up to 3 at least. One more shouldn't be hard to find.
