Numero uno…me…but just try to separate me from my cash.  
I think **Senor Beef** is another.  
We have a many that qualify as a third in our [SDMB Poker thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=667362)…go find your third there.

As for my selections…Awwww, crap. Too many to list.

Well, if it’s poker… **Dag Otto** , **Robot Arm** and **Oslo Ostragoth** with honorable mentions going to the rest of our Doper Poker Players.

If it’s non-stop D3, **Chronos** , **Shijinn** , and **Rucksinator**

World of Warcraft…too many to count…but definitely **Skammer** and **Flightless Bird** have to be 2 of the 3 and I don’t want to piss anyone else off in the group if I pick a third…you all are my third if you want in.

Beer and Wine Fest: **Dag Otto** , **Silenus** , and **Robot Arm**.

On top of Mauna Kea with the Keck Telescope: **Chronos** , **scr4** , and **CC**.

**Super Kapowlzer** and **PSXer** are the obvious first two on my list. They totally crack me up, and **PSXer** reminds me of someone I lived with in college.

As for a third, I’d probably want someone… Different. **Stranger on a Train** is a really interesting guy.

🙂

You, **CalMeacham** , and **Pepper Mill** would be good, though we’d have to make room for **MilliCal**. Which would be a good thing. **Robot Arm** and **TriPolar** would fit in too.

I think we’re going to need a bigger place.

I think your Google Alert misled you; this is a “house arrest hypothetical” thread. Good luck on your search, though.

If you don’t care for them, don’t read them. Coming in and dropping comments like this is threadshitting.

I see nobody wants to spend a month with me. How do you think my partner feels, after 25 years? Anyway . . . I thought of three people right away, then spent forever looking for alternatives; wound up sticking with the same original three:

Mangetout  
Skald  
Spectre of Pithecanthropus

(I have my reasons.)

Boy, that would be cool. You do realize, though, that I’m not a musician? I’d have to do the concept or the lyrics, I guess.
