Pick two people you most want to meet in the world.
 
If you could meet any two people in the world, who would they be? Obviously people still alive. It can be for whatever reason. By meet I mean actually sit down and talk with or hang out with for a while. Not just a simple shaking of the hand and on your way.

My two people are Larry David and Charles Barkley. Larry David IMO is the funniest man to ever grace this planet, and I'd love to meet him and pick his brain on how he comes up with these crazy scenarios in Curb Your Enthusiasm and Seinfeld.

As for Charles, he's one of my favorite people in this world. He is one of the all-time great Sixers, so I love him alone just for that. Charles is funny, he isn't politically correct, which I love(because I hate PC people), and he knows basketball. I'd love to just sit down and talk with him about basketball, life and other issues. Even if I don't agree with everything he says, he's a smart guy and tells it like it is. He isn't afraid to speak his mind.

Bill Gates. I'll make him give me cash. Even a small percentage off his total networth would do.

Warren Buffett. Same reason + make him my investment mentor.

If you learn how to make Bill Gates give you money then I would love to meet you...unless it involves something physically painful...then I'll admire you from afar (*Imagines someone giving Gates a noogie and a wedgie*).

Other than that, I think the two people I would want to meet are my favorite author (so I can talk to her and maybe find out how to publish independently) and Kevin Smith (b/c he's Kevin Smith).

It might help if you named your favorite author.

projectg May 8, 2006 01:36 PM

for me it would probably be: Shigeru Miyamoto and Reggie Fils-Aime both from Nintendo.

Mike Macdonald, the canadian comedian because he's the funniest person ever, and Bobby Orr, he's a big hero of mine and I'd love to be able to talk with him.

It's a little embarrassing, but Lois Duncan. I know she writes books for teens and I should be more focused on reading scholarly journals and such, but they are so boring and I would love to go into the field of juvenile fiction like her and J.K. Rowling.

I'd like to meet the surgeon that saved my life a few years back. I really admire ER surgeons. They have such a tough job, and they've gone through so much to get to where they are. I was too doped up on pain killers to talk to him before, but I think that it would be great to follow him around for a few days and see him work. I can't wait until I start my career as a doctor.

I'd choose:

Steven Hawking and the Dalai Lama.

These two men represent the best of two fields which continue to fascinate my idle thoughts. When I can't sleep, the two subjects I contemplate most are time/space theory and spiritual philosophy.

Although I choose an occupation in the arts, I would probably do well in quantum mechanics or philosophy as well. And if I get to choose ANY two people, why not aim for the stars?

(Incidentally, the Dalai Lama will be a guest speaker at a local college this fall and I've been on the advance ticket notice list for over a year now. I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to simply sit in the same room as this man and listen to his wisdom. Rare is such an honor.)

I can't believe nobody's said "Nobuo Uematsu" yet.

knkwzrd May 8, 2006 07:06 PM

I'd go with Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and Don Van Vliet. I would go with the Dalai Lama like Crash, but these guys are old, and they won't be back after a few years.

Oprah Winfrey - because I want to see if she is genuine and charismatic as she appears to be on TV

and

George Clooney for the same charisma test reason.

Mother Teresa would have been on the list for the same reasons.

knkwzrd May 8, 2006 07:38 PM

You wanted to meet Mother Teresa to test her charisma? That's pretty sad.

Summonmaster May 8, 2006 07:39 PM

Oh lol! Not to test her charisma....sorry, I meant to experience it :)

That could be awesome to see. I know that one of my favorite singers from Australia sounds like he would be a deep soul, but people have mentioned that he's actually a total prick.

Damn, you're picky.

Summonmaster May 8, 2006 09:26 PM

and that's why I typed "would have" ;)

Yep, I just caught that a few seconds ago. Sorry about that :).

Dullenplain May 8, 2006 09:34 PM

Hmm . . . choices choices . . .

I would choose for person number one one of the three great Minimalist composers: Steve Reich, Philip Glass, or John Adams because I enjoy their music immensely and would love to understand what it takes to make music the way they do.

As for person number two, I would probably go for Brian Greene, the man who made String Theory understandable to the layman. It would be interesting to discuss things that most people would be queasy to discuss such as the size of the cosmos and what time means.

Nahual May 8, 2006 09:53 PM

The two people I would like to meet are
Conan O'Brian and Shakira.

Conan is funny and Shakira is Shakira.

Greykin May 8, 2006 10:21 PM

I'd definitely want to me Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes. I'd love to be able just to have a nice chat with him.

Hideo Kojima is also on my list, his crazy MGS'ness.

Dopefish May 9, 2006 12:28 AM

Mario Lemieux, to bask in his warm, glowing, warming glow</homer>.

And my future girlfriend. :D

Don't waste your time. Seriously. The man might possess some amusing insights, but he's an antisocial recluse and every single interview he's ever had, save for one by The New Yorker, has denegrated into a bilous rant against every petty thing he's ever perceived as a deep, personal slight against his existence on Earth. He is disrespectful to his peers in the cartoon industry, he is rude to journalists, he has an irrational axe to grind against the establishment in general and even those who knew him before Calvin & Hobbes took off say that he was never a nice guy.

Your "nice" chat would end in an abrupt disconnection as Watterson walks away with several cutting remarks against you and everyone you ever loved. He's done it to many.

Kostaki May 9, 2006 08:19 PM

I'd like to (hurry up) and meet my so-called "soul mate" that I'm supposed to be with for the rest of my life, and Motoi Sakuraba. Sakuraba needs to be told "thank you" for never growing as stale as every other fucking old school composer.
