Am I a wacko for saying my cat who died 3 years ago?
I guess I don’t care if it does.

I meant to say, “I guess I don’t care if it does make me look like a wacko, that’s who I’d pick,” but I hit the wrong button. Whoops.

Ok, on a more serious note, my maternal grandfather. He was a doctor, and in India back then doctors were like God. But everyone says he didn’t pride himself, he even took care of untouchables, and wrote poetry and was extremely intelligent, loving and nice. I swell up with pride every time someone says I have any of his traits. I would love to have met him but he died way before I was born.

If I felt like thinking about life, the Dalai Lama.
If I felt like busting a gut laughing, then Robin Williams.
If I felt like jumping into the sack and shagging all day, my boyfriend.

You mistook the “submit” button for the “make me look like a wacko, that’s who I’d pick.” button? 😃

Alive: Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. I’m sure he could entertain me easily while we hang out and smoke together. And perhaps seeing his condition after smoking unfiltereds for so long would help me quit.
Dead: Isaac Asimov. Is there possibly anyone more interesting?
