How long every day and are you any good? Because I play music all day, usually quietly, but it’s a random and odd mix of genres.

Pretty simple for me. I’m going to assume, because it suits me, that this entrapment is going to occur during baseball season.

1. **jsgoddess** , because I married her and all that, and because she also shares the attributes I desire in both of the other Dopers referenced below.

2. **NAF1138** , so that we can watch and discuss Dodgers games on Household Giant Screen TV #1. (It was a tie between him and **silenus** , but since silenus already stated that he didn’t want to be separated from his wife for some reason, I was forced to punish NAF1138 instead.)

3. **ZipperJJ** , so that we can watch and discuss Indians games on Household Giant Screen TV #2.

I’m also guessing that the games of Trivial Pursuit would be fairly entertaining.

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

If numbers (1) and (3) will be in a room together, it’s probably a good thing that (2) will be there. 🙂

I like to think I could live for a month with just about any combination of Dopers. However, I’d like to throw out that if **twickster** , **WordMan** , **Eonwe** and I were to share a house for a month, I think the result would be either a great jazz/rock concept album or a hit Broadway musical…

Pretty easy choices for me:

St Germain

EddyTeddyFreddy

The Lone Cashew

All have been exceedingly, totally, completely nice to me, never mocking or making fun of me, and we al love animals. So long as we can bring our critters along for this month we’ll have plenty of entertainment watching them and plenty to talk about. And I will enjoy cooking for them, too.

Sounds like fun! When do we start?

I’d go with an all-girl crew. **zoogirl** because I’d need a fellow Alice fan and both **MsWhatsit** and **Nzinga** because they’re smart, funny as hell and keep it real. We’d have a blast!

It’s only for a month. I am going to go for a volatile recipe that should be fun:

**Bricker**

I got so excited about **Athena** cooking for me and **PSXer** that I forgot my third. You’re in! (Sorry **jsgoddess** …we’ll Skype ya?)

Tough choice! I’d love to pick **Shodan** as long as we had a “no politics” rule.

But I think my best choice would be:

**olivesmarch4th

**swampbear** , so I could bake him cookies. I can’t brew beer so he’ll have to bring his own.

**twickster** , because she’s exactly my age, to the day

**Chefguy** , because he could cook and I’d do the desserts. Well, the bread too.

Superkapowzler, Colibri\*, Der Trihs. Laugh, learn, pontificate.

I’ll bring beer. I’m utterly unafraid of spiders. Can cook. Fill out a bikini very well. I’ve got a fanatastic music collection.

K, I got nothing to offer. I’ll just sit in the corner and listen, giggle quietly from time to time.
