Whose consort would you have been?

If you had the option of being the partner of someone famous - past or present, who would it have been?

I’d have been Denis Thatcher. Not only was he a capable man in his own right, but he got to see history as it was made, as husband of the second-greatest Prime Minister of the 20th century.

Both my girlfriend and I are waiting eagerly for Enya to post a couple of “castle servant (with benefits) wanted” ads.

I did not have to think twice about my answer.

Jeff Fisher, head coach of the Tennessee Titans. No reason but pure lust.

Janis Joplin. I don’t think anyone ever treated her well, but I would have.

Wasn’t she a drug addict?

Yes, but I’m sure that AskNott’s love and devotion would save her from her self-destructive tendancies…

Duke Leto Atreides. No doubt.

But only if I could have Maeglin as my Mentat Assasin.

Well, I was going to say I’d be Paris, because then at least I’d get to do the nasty with Helen of Troy, but then I realized that Paris was a multiple kidnapper and a coward and I’d get killed in the Trojan War before I’d really had a chance to come to grips with things.

If I couldn’t have the legendary most beautiful woman, what about the legendary most beautiful man, and be the consort of Adonis? Then I realized… which one? I’d either be Persephone and be abducted by Hades and trapped in the Underworld listening to Sisyphus tell the story for the thousandth time about how he almost got that rock up the hill that time. Or I’d be Aphrodite, which wouldn’t be too bad except having to be female, especially considering all the sleeping around she did. But hey, being a capricious and powerful goddess would be better than a sniveling toady who has to kidnap nymphs and die in wars.

Based on my past choices, I’d probably have been the consort of Narcissus or the guy who signed for delivery of the Trojan Horse with a happy “The war’s over!” dance.

By choice I’d be the consort of Ricky Martin, but only for a few weeks.

I sometimes believe that in a former life I was born in 1910. Following up on that assumption, I would like to have been the only younger man ever to have bedded Clare Boothe Luce. My Og, I’ll bet that woman was a lioness in the sack.

Well, she had a reputation for being extremely good to those under her.

Audrey Hepburn, the second most beautiful woman in existence.

Reporting for duty.
