If you could meet a dead person

Geeno · 03-14-2009, 12:28 AM

If you could meet and talk to three dead people, who would they be.

Note they're not zombies or anything.

My boss asked me this today and the first person that came to mind was Big L, half serious.

Fully serious I said Andrew Jackson and Jesus.

Waves · 03-14-2009, 12:31 AM

Socrates, Jesus, and John Lennon

hardcore philosophical debate

My gram, my aunt, some random person.
Kind of subscribe to the theory that everyday people have better stories to tell than famous.

Waves · 03-14-2009, 12:33 AM

i already know exactly what my relatives would say

:P

my_scatterheart · 03-14-2009, 12:41 AM

Not all of us have that luxury.

Mercury · 03-14-2009, 12:43 AM

Probably my paternal grandfather, who I never knew.

As for famous people... John D. Rockefellar

Man in Black · 03-14-2009, 12:45 AM

my father, Jesus, and I think I gotta agree with Waves on Lennon..

he's at least in my top five. others could possibly include Timothy Leary and Carl Jung

edit- gotta throw W.B. Yeats up there as well

Debaser · 03-14-2009, 12:52 AM

Cliff Burton, George Carlin, and Ken Gorman.

Яedking · 03-14-2009, 12:57 AM

the dewd that first made bacon, the dewd that invented the guillotine, and probably the first recipient of fermented produce

José · 03-14-2009, 01:34 AM

I wouldn't mind seeing Jerry Garcia every time I smoked a certain strain.

Jackson has got to be my favorite president. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who appreciates that crazy fucker.

For me, I would love to hang out with Krishnamurti and David Bohm, and maybe smoke a few bowls. The Buddha, too, would be worth meeting.

Black · 03-14-2009, 01:35 PM

The Rev · 03-14-2009, 01:41 PM

Oh, and Mozart. I'd love to freak him out with my CD player.
