Intoxicated depends on your understanding.
Also what would you guys do or talk about.
And why’d you choose him/her.

There are a lot of people I would like to talk with sober to hear their ideas and take on life’s complications.

If I or they were drunk, it would be a total waste.

Hm. I want to go 2 ways on this; my first choice would be Albert Einstein because I think he’d be a BLAST to get drunk with. The other part of my mind says Britney Spears because she’s gonna be my future ex-wife someday! :) LoL!

John Lennon and Tom Baker. Gawd, that would be hilarious. Tom’s halfway into the ether as it is and then Lennon would just mess with his head until he realized that Tom was cool and then it would get philosophical, but funny. I’ve seen Michael Palin drunk on one of his travel shows. Eeesh. Pass.

Emily Dickinson – I’d like to find out her secrets; who her “Master” really was and if she was bi-sexual.

If she wasn’t available for “a night on the town” but keeping the New England theme, I’d like to get drunk with Louisa May Alcott and find out her true feelings for Marmee and her sisters.

In another pub, I’d like to tie one on with Will Shakespeare and finally find out if he, indeed, authored his own plays. (Evne if he didn’t reveal that, I think he’d be a helluva guy to have a beer with!)

@hungryhungryhortence that’s interesting that you mentioned a family member before anyone else, and I hadn’t really thought about it until now.

I think I’d like to have a couple drinks with my father when he was in his 20s or 30s, he died when I was young so I never got a chance to really get to know him, but everyone I’ve ever met that knew him well said he was a great man by all accounts.

@ABoyNamedBoobs03: Thank you. My grandpa was my acting father and this was the age he became my father, I know it wasn’t easy but it changed his life and he gave me an incredible one. To somehow get a glimpse of your own father, that would be something.

Bill Cosby could be really fun and funny. We would drink at a bar where he could start giving people advice.

Jon Stewart would be another good one. For the comic relief.

Or any world famous chef, only there aren’t any drinks.

And on that note Pink Floyd or Mozart or another amazing musician or group to smoke with.

@MacBean – I’ve met Marjane Satrapi. Make sure you can also get good cheeseburgers. Apparently, she loves them. She went on and on about Dotty Dumpling’s Dowry when I told her I’d gone to UW-Madison for uni.

Stephen Fry. Wow, I’d have beers with him, too. You know what, I’d also have beers with Brian Blessed.

I’d like to slam back a bit of Southern Comfort with Janis Joplin, some Jack Daniels with Keith Moon, toke one with Jimi Hendrix, and no alcohol or drugs would be necessary with Jim Morrison.
I’d like to drop a hit of some really nice clinical LSD with Timothy Leary, too. All of them were of my generation and deeply involved in the forming of my young adult personality.
