Clarification please: can we just have four beers with one person?

I mean, hey, maybe Stacy Kiebler is a total lightweight. Just need to know if this is a valid option.

Groundhog · 09-04-2017, 06:11 PM

I'm struggling to come up with 2. Rick Wakeman would be on there for sure, and that would probably take up all 4 of my beers.

edit: Actually I'll throw Kim Jong-un on there, if I can slip some truth serum into his beer.

What did I miss? Not sure of his health or lack thereof.

But I would love to hear about shock and awe and how he dismantled the Iraqi military.

EDIT: Did not realize he died or forgot. Dang.

I might go so far as to say that "every angle" works in this instance.

Still the single best proof of a higher power in charge of creation I've ever seen.
No WAY that happened by accident.

Abe Sargent · 09-05-2017, 11:21 AM

Pope? Bobama?

Sure

But the massive amount of journalists, comedians, and entertainers? Nah.

As a gamer, one of my other four would would be a major name in gaming, such as Sid Meier or Richard Garfield. Gary Gygax would have been my choice prior to his death.

And then for my fourth?

Michael Moorcock - the only one of the founding massively influential fantasy writers still alive, kicking, and writing.

King of New York · 09-05-2017, 12:08 PM

1. Kevin Spacey
2. Dave Chappelle
3. PJ Harvey
4. Stuart Braithwaite (guitarist for Mogwai)

Honorable mention to Christopher Walken, but I figure that I could just get Kevin Spacey to do his Christopher Walken impersonation.

Kodos · 09-05-2017, 01:10 PM

1. Obama
2. Phil Collen(guitarist for Def Leppard)(although I think he doesn't drink)
3. Victor Oladipo
4. Elon Musk

SackAttack · 09-05-2017, 03:46 PM

1. Vin Scully
2. Sandy Koufax

Scarecrow · 09-06-2017, 08:09 AM

Keeping with my tradition of not picking ones that have already been picked (Pope and Buffet would probably make my list)...

1. Tucker Carlson
2. Matthew McConaughey
3. Nick Offerman
4. Robert Plant

Radii · 09-06-2017, 11:11 AM

Dalai Lama
Barack Obama
Bill Gates
Eddie Vedder

I'm way more interested in the current Dalai Lama than the pope. I'm fascinated by Warren Buffet but I think Bill Gates would be much more interesting to talk to, especially after the last 10 years of philanthropy from Gates. There's no one in sports/movies that I'd really want on there, so I went with my favorite band's lead singer for the last one.

I do absolutely love the Nick Offerman choice from Scarecrow though, and Louis CK woulda been on my shortlist too. I've just seen SO MUCH Louis CK material I'm not sure I need to have a beer with him?

ColtCrazy · 09-06-2017, 11:40 AM

Volko Ruhnke (board game designer)
Patton Oswalt
Peyton Manning
John Cleese

May not move me as a human being, but I'll have four very entertaining conversations.

Is a finalist for my list, should I ever finalize one. Which I probably won't.

ColtCrazy · 09-06-2017, 10:17 PM

It came down to Tyson or Cleese for me.

cuervo72 · 09-06-2017, 10:31 PM

I don't think anybody would want to have a beer with Mike Tyson. He might talk your ears off.

Young Drachma · 09-08-2017, 04:24 PM

Alice Walker
Eddie Huang
Ta-Nehisi Coates
Desus & Mero (yes it's two of them so what.)

SteveM58 · 09-08-2017, 08:00 PM

Elon Musk
Bernie Sanders
Ben Shapiro
Thomas Sowell

I based my list on intellectual honesty, courage to speak the truth as they see it, and the competence to articulate their principles.

And I plan to solve all societal problems with this group. Even if I need to force beer down them.
