If, given the choice, you had the opportunity to spend a full day with one (living) person, who might that person be? Anyone. Be honest. My choice: Neil Armstrong Or maybe … Drain Bead 🙂 ---

I don’t think I’ve ever known or knew of anyone that I could tolerate for a full 24 hours. I like my solitary lifestyle too much. If I _had_ to spend a literal day with someone, it would probably be either Ray Bradbury or Harlan Ellison. * * * Carpe hoc! ---

I’m gonna cheat and name more than one cause my opinion changes depending on how intellectual I want to be, and how amorous I feel. Michael Jordan on most days. Dave Matthews if I’m feeling emotional, he’d be great to get drunk with and talk chicks. And whatever sex symbol I am currently lusting for. Hey I’m a guy, these things are important to me :), at the moment I’m thinking Angie Everhart. Hugh Hefner, come on, talk about living the perfect life. George Lucas would be intriguing, and I’d love to pick his brains. ---

Well, number one choice would be Billy Graham. #2 would be Steven Spielberg. ---

I can think of a couple of people here whom I know personally and whom nobody would know. But for famous people: 1.) Gary Oldman. I don’t know why, but I think it would be really cool to see what he’s like. 2.) Robert Plant. Just curious. * * * Die, foul crouton! ---

I think it’d be cool to hang out with Quentin Tarentino or Steven King…two pretty weird guys. My female choices would be Daryl Hannah, Demi Moore, Goldie Hawn, or Debra Winger. Not from the sex orgy angle, rather for their (seemingly) fun personalities. (although they’d be friendly to the eyes as well) * * * Contestant #3 ---

For my money I’d go with Michael Palin. The man has been just about everywhere in the world, and hell, if it gets dull we can do the Parrot Sketch. * * * It only hurts when I laugh. ---

Pat Conroy. He has some amazing stories to tell about how he grew up. I’ve heard snippets of interviews with him, and I’d love to hear more. My oldest cousins. I haven’t seen them for three years, and they deserve a whole day of attention. They’re only 9 and 12, and their mom is hardly ever home (she’s an ER nurse). ---

Jane Goodall. From a sexual angle, Brendan Frazer. ---

Do they have to be living presently? If not, I would wanna spend my time with Elizabeth I or Hapshetsut (sp?). Possibly stop in and visit Emily Dickenson or Carl Sagan. ---

Stephan Hawking would be a serious trip. That man could take days to begin to grasp. ---

Billy Joel…would love to talk music with him… and (since other have done it) from a sexual angle, George Cloony…I think I’d need more then 24 hours, though 😉 🙂 * * * If at first you don’t succeed, redefine success. ---

Ruth Rendell (British mystery author). I would love to pick her brain. And maybe I would inspire her to put an American character in her next story ;-)! * * * Remember, I’m pulling for you; we’re all in this together. —Red Green ---

The guy I had the hots for that left for Michigan a couple of months back. Sigh. And this is definitely a sex thing. 😉 ---

Alicia Silverstone. Or Staci Flood( a dancer on Happy Hour.) My choices for a guy- I wanna play ball with Micheal Jordan. I wanna talk politics with Jesse Jackson. I wanna travel with Jimmy Buffet in the Carribean( he knows all the party spots) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/24-hours-with-anyone/8037.md?page=2)
