Who In History Would You Most Like To Share A Bowl With?

[renfield]

Richard Feynman.
Neil Peart.
Phillip K. Dick.
Neil Armstrong.

 

[warren]

This evening? I think the "wild goose" Richard Hennessy.

My apologies to most of you. The Celts, de Dannan, the Mil sians, et al, are simply more interesting than any other peoples. One person's opinion mind you!

 

[sablebrush52]

Possibly Bach, though in the flesh he may have been incredibly boring, pious, and serious.

He fathered more than 20 children and was once cited for lascivious behavior in a choir loft. I suspect with a few beers in him he could be quite entertaining.

Sounds like my great grandfather.?

 

[docpierce]

Clarence Darrow, although he was a cigar smoker. Stanley Baldwin, Sir Oswald Mosley although I did meet him when he was live and he wasn't smoking in those days. Jefferson Davis would also be quite interesting along with 'Doc' Holliday.

You met Mosley?

 

[docpierce]

would be Adolph Hitler.

This.

 

[docpierce]

He reportedly despised smoking of all forms. If I remember correctly, "Mein Kampf" is still available in English.

...but he was good with animals and kids.

 

[python]

I would give anything to sit and smoke with my dad for one more day .

 

[alaskanpiper]

Thinking of those that actually smoked pipes, many possible options. My first instinct was Tolkein, or maybe watch Rockwell paint something, hear Chapman talk Monty Python, or Einstein.

However, after thinking about it a while, today I’d go with Gerald Ford. To sit and speak to a US President while having a bowl would really be something else. Sure, maybe not the most prominent one, but he held the office. And I have so many questions.

 

[condorlover1]

Yes. He only kicked off in 1980.

 

[Saintwilliam]

Tolkien for sure! Then John Calvin I think he’s been misread the worst... following Jesus himself of course. Then Karl Barth and Von Balthasar, and Richard Hooker just for fun!

 

[docpierce]

Yes. He only kicked off in 1980.

cool. I met Arnold Schwarzenegger once in a tiny shop in SF.

 

[Dandy Pipesmoker]

Any of the jazz musicians that were also pipe smokers: Monk, Mingus, Coltrane...

 

[cossackjack]

In no particular order:
Jeff Bridges
Bill Murray
Christopher Walken
Because they are quirky dudes both on and off camera.

I would add..,
Steve Buscemi
Jeff Goldblum

 

[hauntedmyst]

In order:

Jesus
The Apostle Paul
The Apostle John
The Apostle Peter
Enoch who walked with God for 300 years. Tell me he didn't have a unique perspective and insight.

DL Moody
Dietrich Boenhoeffer
RE Torrey
Martin Luther
AS Pink

Alas I cannot tell you that. However, if you ever find out who made his shoes then please give me a shout. 300 years out of a pair of shoes.....blimey ?

Who made shoes for Methuselah for 969 years??

 

[Chasing Embers]

If we're going biblical, as a parent I would like to talk to Mary and Joseph. I fear for my childrens' future and can only imagine raising and loving a child seeing and knowing what would become of him. Out living a child and seeing them die in such a way; a greater heartbreak I couldn't imagine nor wish on anyone.

That's cheating Duane, everyone and his dog knows Methuselah moved around on his ass.....you know, like a donkey

Seems like it turned out to be a pretty good return on their investment.
