I'd like to meet:

All the Members of U2 & Hall & Oates. Hell of a combo or hell of a slap fight! Larry Mullen, jr could talk about living in his windmill, while Oates shows Mullen what a real mullet looks like. :bitch slapping fight ensues:+++Anyone that doesn't shaft me the morning of a trip to Las Vegas+++ (Does anyone wanna go to Vegas, for that matter?)Anyone that makes me laugh, hard. Despite popular notions, laughing CAN be better than an orgasm.
