bring someone back!

Right, this thread was obviously supposed to be a solmen and serious exercise. How dare I add artists that I think made the world a better place with their presence.

BTW, I think Chris Farley and C.S. Lewis would get along swimmingly together.

Actually, that's not what I was referring to at all.

Teddy Roosevelt

Oh, right, the Jesus thing again. G*ddamn you are sensitive on the issue....As is your want.


Audrey Hepburn

Nope, not really sensitive. Just firm. I don't think you're evil...just a little too flippant sometimes.

I won't harp on it. But I won't ignore it either. Then again, I may eventually, when I've become fully convinced that I'm wasting my time.

(the orange shows up a little better on the lighter background, I think.)

You're definitely wasting your time, although I'll admit I can't like see a manger without thinking about the Baby Jesus.

But hey, at least we're amusing Patti.


Dorothy Parker

I think you missed an "s" that first time 'round. All better now, though.

Sorry to hear I'm wasting my time (at least in your mind). I can't say I fully believe you. You may not believe me when I say this, but I do believe you're reasonable enough to be open to other points of view. Hopefully you won't prove me wrong.

Yeah, I had already fixed my Dorothy Parker link. You know me: constantly flippant, constantly editing. And no, I'm not really that open.

Orson Welles

Nothing wrong with the second part.

I think you are. Or can be. You're an intelligent man, it seems, so I'd find it hard to believe that you're really close-minded. You're probably putting me on...as usual. Fair enough...not everyone likes talking seriously or personally online. Perfectly understandable.

cary grant, yes, audrey hephburn, yes........hey.....why didn't they ever hook up?




on a more serious note though.........i'd bring back my gramma.............DEFINITELY.

Lenny Bruce

Who's your favorite Baltimore Oriole?

Walter Benjamin


Favorite Oriole ever? Brooks Robinson, for sure. But I'm a Yankees fan. Always have been, always will be. Favorite Yankees? Where does one start? Mickey, Yogi, Gehrig, Reg-gie, Winfield, Mattingly, Joe D., Bernie, The Goose, Catfish, Guidry, Nettles, The Scooter, Billy Martin, The Babe, Jeter, Bucky Dent and on and on and on.

Mark Twain
Buddy Holly

Mickey Mantle grew up playing baseball in my town. Kinda our claim to fame outside of the fact that we're the home of the first lite baseball game.

Can't say I like the Yanks. In fact, if it were reasonable to actually hate a baseball team, they'd be my first victims. Needless to say, last year's World Series was pure bliss. Unfortunately, until the Pirates pick up (assuming it ever happens), I'm reduced to cheering against teams I dislike. It's something you get used to when you live in Pittsburgh.

Speaking of favorite Yankees AND people I'd bring back to this planet...

Lou Gehrig

Even though he isn't dead yet, Richard Pryor.
