reading, music, writing, having a life in general (future goal), education, nature, and so on
Jesus
I imagine the meeting would be quite awkward. He'd say something in Aramaic, I'd mangle a few things in Attic Greek, he'd call me the Latin word for someone who buggers donkeys, I'd give him a Vulgate. Just like old times.
William Blake
He's a visionary genius, and a helluva trip. Then, once I'd met him, I could take him to the Pacific Northwest and send him off in a canoe to the land of the dead.
William Quinn
Technically he's my dissertation director, but I haven't seen him in a while. Is he still alive? Did Cambridge swallow him whole?
Artemus Gordon
We could drink and wonder what it is that Jim West does to get all those women. Then we would wonder if it could be distilled into a bomb. Ah, Jim, the boards! The roar of the crowd!
Whichever of My Ancestors Wrote Music for Kaiser Wilhelm's Marching Band
My family's only brush with fame. Well, that, and inventing calculus. Stupid Isaac Newton always stealin' from me.
That Girl down the Street
She's totally hot. I hear she keeps horses. Where she keeps them I'll never know.
Myself
I think I'm an all right guy. Or was that Todd Snyder?
Most of it.
Buckaroo Banzai, Scotland PA, Taymor Titus, Napoleon Dynamite, Sideways, Lonesome Dove, Blazing Saddles, History of the World Part I (and other dad movies), Casablanca, The Godfather I and II, The Silencers (Matt Helm), The Conversation, The Shadow of the Vampire, and a whole lot more.
Don't own one, don't want one, don't need one.If it's important for me to watch, I'll netflix it.
All of them. Books are good.
My heroes have always been cowb-- wait, that's a Willie Nelson song.
My own heroes include Morgan Hetrick, Grizz Hayhurst, Don Lewis, Utah Phillips, Dick Feynman, The Duke, and Robert Heinlein; along with Marcus Aurelius and the Hávamál, these men form the core of my philosophical views (in what proportion depends on how I'm feeling at the time). I haven't really thought about female heroes, though I expect Ana and Mom would be in the list.
