You and three other dopers of your choosing are going to be locked in a house to live together for the next month. There won’t be any cameras, or challenges, tasks, or roles. Just living together. You’ll all have your own bedrooms, a well stocked kitchen, television, radio, any card games or board games or video games you could possibly want, etc.
Basically, you’ll have any form of entertainment to choose from, with the only restriction being that at no time will anyone be allowed to leave or enter the house.
The question is, of course, which three dopers would you choose to live with you, and why? It can be anyone of your choosing, whether you’ve met them in real life, or you only know them through their posting history. No one else will ever know what happened in the house with the four of you, and you can’t bring any non-dopers in at any time.
Here are my choices:
Vinyl Turnip - No question about it, I need someone witty and funny who I think I’d get along well with. I think we’d get along well, and we have similar interests so there’d be plenty of stuff to do together.
Qadgop the Mercotan - His life experiences would be wonderful to hear about… and he just fascinates me in general.
Shodan - I think he’s a pretty clever guy and it might be fun to get into political debates with him. We actually agree in theory on quite a bit, but in practice we have some vast differences in what should be happening regarding politics, so I’d love to spend some time waxing philosophical. He also seems to have a nice sense of humor
I’m incredibly flattered. And I quite agree about Qadgop. So, if we can arrange our schedules, I agree.
If you and/or Dr. Mercotan cannot make it, I will pick
[ul][li]Tamerlane, because of his fascinating grasp of history[/li][li]Bryan Ekers, for his wisecracks, and[/li][li]Ellen Cherry, to keep everyone in line.[/ul][/li]
Regards,
Shodan
I’d look for the three horniest female dopers. But if that weren’t allowed my list would be similar to yours. Vinyl Turnip for the fun, Shodan for the arguments, Little Nemo for rational discourse. But those are just examples. Other possibilities are Chronos and indistinquishable for their knowledge of math and physics, but they’d get tire of my dumb questions quickly. Many others for the humor. Maybe Colibri just to annoy him. Skald would be great entertainment, so would czarcasm in some bizarre way. There are a lot of choices, but I assume most of them would run for the hills before getting locked in a house with me for a month.
First choice is deedeeknowit. She doesn’t post much but since she is the Love of My Life and My Reason For Living, she’s a lock. Second choice would be Qadgop, who is a really cool guy that I really like and have had nothing but good times with. Third choice would be DMark, for the same reasons articulated for Qadgop. It would be a mean trick to deprive them of their SOs for a month while I have mine, but them’s the breaks.
The first two because they’re fun and clever and sure to keep me entertained, and Bricker because he’s sane and stable and probably really good for heavy conversation.
In addition, I would choose Anaamika, because she’s awesome, and **VunderBob **because we need another guy to round out the group and he’s a laugh a minute
I could easily come up with at least 10 more threesomes I’d be happy to get locked up with… Some of you even know who you are
First one that came to mind for me is swampbear. I’ve met him for reals and he’s a nice guy, for an old geezer, and from his posts, he obviously knows his way around a kitchen, which is a bonus!
Next would probably be **Dolores Reborn **- another who I’ve met and know to be a nice person, plus we have some work stuff in common, so we could talk about cool things we’ve done.
Finally, I’m thinking **Sauron **- he just cracks me up!
Yeah, that’ll work - a cook, a conversationalist, and some entertainment. If only I could bring someone to give me footrubs - that would be perfect!
I’m quite introverted. Although my nasty habits of practicing my clarinets every day would probably annoy my housemates. Unless I had a sound-proof room.
