5 people you want to meet?
My ELA final is a 6 page essay on 5 people you want to meet dead or alive. I want to choose really good and impressive people. I dont want Martin Luther King or George Washington. Everyone knows who they are. I want people who my teacher will be impressed with me choosing. I already have one. My first one is Temple Grandin. I need 4 more. Any ideas?

I'd love to meet Hans Moravec.  He seems like my kinda dude.

LMNO

Pol Pot, Stalin, Jim Jones, Grover Norquist, Saint Paul.


Psychopathic Whackos are much more interesting.

AFK

Well, if it were me:

Gary Larson, Weird Al Yankovic, Max Cannon, Lewis Black, and Thurston Moore

They each have very interesting ways of offering commentary on existence and living in society.  It would be interesting being able to sit down and chat with them.  Probably individually though.  Not sure it would work too well all at once. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

LMNO

Tori Black, Bobbi Starr, Sasha Grey, Jenna Haze, and Belladonna.




Because what could go wrong if you put me in a room with five pornstars?

Cramulus

Kerry Thornley, Rupert Murdoch, Jim Henson (I just want to hear him swear), Klaus Nomi, Lady Gaga

The Wizard

Dashiel Hammet, Hunter S. Thompson, Lord Byron, Robert E. Lee, Robert Heinlein, personally.

You could do the paper on the five people you want to meet just so you can do something horrible to them. LMNO's psycho list would work great for that.
Insanity we trust.

Doktor Howl

Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis, H.L. Mencken, Enrico Salizar, Joe Biden.

I accidently South Filth contemplating it. :oops:

Richter

Ben Franklin, Nietzche,  Saladin, Haruki Murakami, Thomas Paine.


Also, 5 people I've met who have been very worthwhile and inspirational to know (Present company excluded)

Al Fern, K. Brown, Kaye Glass, H. Biller, J. Slack

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Each of the lists seems to have a sort of theme to it, so mix it up:

Pol Pot, Weird Al, Jenna Haze, Klaus Nomi, and Joe Biden.

THAT would be a fucking interesting meetup.

AFK

I actually did briefly meet Weird Al once a few years ago.  But I had a cold and I didn't want to get the poor guy sick on tour.  He was very nice and cordial.

Why waste time meeting heroes? They aren't that much better than you - lots were just in the right place at the right time.

If I had a chance to meet any 5 people, I'd wanna meet 5 beautiful single girls.  :mrgreen:

Because maybe they're interesting to talk to, or some stupid shit.

This post gave me a wicked case of deja vu.

As far as the 5 people, let me get back to you.
