A question first: Will there be weapons? ---

Definitely **Real Omega Man** and \*\*Cicero \*\*as my drinking buddies, but then I’m torn between **Mean Old Lady** , to add to the general drunkeness and bitching sessions, or \*\*Sampiro \*\*so I can hear more tales of his family. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > 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. I was picturing you providing concept, book and lyrics with some suggestions from the rest of us. I was also picturing you as having final veto over musical decisions, to resolve any arguments over ‘artistic disputes’. The rest of us would contribute musical source material and groove it into shape. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Easy-peasy. > > Third choice would be **DMark** … Thanks…and having you there would ensure there would at least be something to drink that was worth drinking. Then again, conversations would be brief as we passed out and slept it off, day after day. Regarding my other two choices, first I need to know if schizophrenic Dopers with multiple personalities are considered one or two or more Dopers? But most importantly, I need to know if the other three Dopers would be able to help me change a light bulb. In another thread, over 160 people have shown they are incapable of assisting me to accomplish this feat, so this is a deal breaker. ---

I’ll choose **Anaamika** and **Oakminster** , because while either of them might decide that, on balance, the hypothetical third Doper is correct in saying I should be shot, Mika likes me too much do to it, while Oak will insist on making it a proper duel, even knowing that I’d intend to cheat. 😉 ---

I’d pick **Colibri** , as he’s done more cool shit than any three people, and we’ve both been to a lot of cool places. I’d also resurrect **QED**. ---

**MeanOldLady** because she makes me think while I’m laughing. **Vinyl Turnip** because he/she just makes me laugh. Even when I’m horrified 🙂 **LavenderBlue** so we could plan our next book. ---
