Who Do You Want To Have A Drink With?

[TOLady]

Real Person Living - Jack Whyte of the author of the Authurian series. Brilliant books to a point. And he's Scottish-Canadian! He'd love the pub I hang out at!

Real Person Dead - My Grandmother on my Mom's side - I'd love to know how to control the powers I have that she had! It's disturbing sometimes!

Fictional Person - Walt from Breaking Bad! Just 'cause he's sooo bad! And (if I might) Jesse from Breaking Bad ('cause I think he needs a hug!)

[Gumby30]

Real person living - Billy Connolly. He just seems like the sort of guy you could just sit and listen to him tell stories about his life and where he's been for hours.

Real person dead - Freddie Mercury. I'd love to hear where some of his inspiration came from and listen to his stories about being the frontman for Queen.

Fictional person - I had this all sorted in my brain until my boyfriend came up with an even better idea. So I'm split between Harry Dresden (my original idea) and Tyrion Lannister

And I don't know if my comment makes me a purist. I'd go for the title of "Semanticist," though. And I have no idea if that's actually a word or if I just made it up. I do notice, however, that my computer did NOT highlight it as an incorrect word.

It just reminded me of a scene in Scarecrow & Mrs. King in season 1 where Amanda referred to herself as a "Junior Agent" and Lee corrected her with "*apprentice* Agent". ... and Amanda's grin & reply of "Purist!"

Real Person Living: The Queen of England - I would love to know what goes on in her head.

Real Person Dead: My father-in-law. He died before I met my hubby so I never knew him. Hubby always says we would have hit it off.

Fictional person: Jimmy the Hand. Character from Raymond E Feists Midkemia series of books. A thief, a rouge and a scoundrel, and the right hand of the prince - Awesome guy!

[dalesys]

Fictional person: Mike Callahan. Surprised nobody else mentioned him yet.

I wanna listen to the crew on Punday Night.

[Andara Bledin]

Fictional person: Mike Callahan. Surprised nobody else mentioned him yet.

Thought of him and then quickly discarded the notion; from that universe, I'd much rather have a drink and chat with Lady Sally.

^-.-^

[Sapphire Silk]

Real Person Living: Gordon Ramsey; he seems like a really interesting fellow and someone who can 1) hold an intelligent conversation, and 2) is pretty down to earth in spite of his success.

Real Person Dead: Not my father, actually. It would be too emotional for me to enjoy it. Robert A. Heinlein, my favorite sci fi author, the cantankerous old bastard.

Fictional Person: Hmm. Hard one. The Doctor might be cool, but I'd be too busy scoping out the Tardis. I think I'd have to go with Jean Luc Picard. He's a guy who's had a lot of adventure and tons of great stories, but is well educated and urbane at the same time, and we share a love of history and archaeology.

Fictional person: Mike Callahan. Surprised nobody else mentioned him yet.

[MoonCat]

Oooh, yes, Nanny Ogg! Although I'd like to have a drink with Granny Weatherwax, too....which in her case I suppose would be tea because she doesn't hold with the stronger stuff...

[Andrew B.]

I'd be going for coffee or a soft drink, but...

Real, living: Jason Statham- I'd want to hear some of his stories about working in movies and similar.

Real, dead: Theodore Roosevelt- Even if we have little in common, he just seems like an awesome person.

Fictional: Ugh, that's tough. For now, I'm going to go with Max from Dark Cloud 2.

[MistressOfTangents]

Good question Jester,hmm let me think

Real Person Living: Terry Pratchett- he'd be fun and interesting to talk to.

Real Person Dead: Leonardo da Vinci

Fictional Person: Iris (the central character from the 'Drawn' game series) because watching people react to her particular gift would be interesting.

[dragon_wings]

Real person, living: my mind is blanking... I'll update if I come up with one.

Real person, dead: Jesus or Ghandi

Fictional character: Dumbledore, Gandalf, Rupert Giles, Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, or the Doctor ^_^

[Lyse]

Real Person living: Terry Pratchett

Real person dead: my father - I never had a chance to get to know him.

Fictional person: Nanny Ogg (Granny Weatherwax would be a bit too intimidating!), or The Doctor - popular chap that he is.

[BrenDAnn]

Real Person Living: Gale Harold...my favorite actor, and a very fun and unusual, brilliant man

Real Person Dead: My paternal grandmother, and my maternal grandfather and grandmother. All died before I was born or before I was old enough to know them, and to this day I wish I could have just ONE day with them.\

Real Person Fictional: This is a tough one. I'd say Gale's character Brian Kinney of Queer as Folk, but having a drink with Gale himself would cover that, sort of, so...I'm not sure.

Fun thread! Thanks for getting it going!
