...in the fantastical sense, what would you be?



I would be an observer......I would start at the dawn of civilization and live forever, watching humans do their ****.........the Pharaohs.....the Queen of Sheba, the crusades, the middle ages, the Renaissance, all of the wars, etc.

It would be great to know what really happened; to be there and see it all.

Napoleon's hemmorhoid. I'd like to be there, knowing in real time, that I cost him the Battle of Waterloo.

Of course dying in the crack of his ass on a remote island would suck, so let me rethink it.

Actually, I'd like to be peering over a bookshelf, on the 6th floor of the Texas Book Depository in 1963 to see if (and who) was shooting anything.

Just be myself again.. with my 3 children minus their mother... raising them without the hassles and BS they had to listen too or witness the breakup/divorce between the two of us.

I think from that standpoint or restarting point in my life... much of where I am and my children are today would be a much brighter place...

this is almost like that movie "Click"

#12 BTW, Lou...while I was at the hospital with my wife, they asked her doctor's name. I didn't have a clue...then again, she doesn't know my doc (she goes to one on the mainland, near her work...mine is close to our home). Her doctor's last name is Savage.

Six people working on my wife at the time, seven people involved there, including my wife. Not a one of them knew who the hell Doc Savage was. And we rarely got comic books as kids (family was almost Kenny from South Park poor).

Sort of like "City of Angels" with Nick Cage and Meg Ryan......that would be cool, but my choice would be to live forever and be locked in at 35 years of age....

Aooooooooogah, good question, Andyroooo (contorting myself into an Arsenio "Gums" Hall feigning interest pose with hands under chin).

If I HAD to come back to this (fill in the blank) hole of a world, I would come back as (in chronological order):

1. Conquistador (surprise?)
2. injun-fighting mountain man (circa early 1800's)
3. member of the Wild Bunch (Sam Peckinpaugh's version)
4. Confederate soldier in Pickett's ill-fated charge

The shorter the stay the better.

Signed,
Stuart Smiley

===================================

I'm with you on that one, sir ...

Your wording reminds me of our 25th anniversary ... on the morning of that day, I took some flowers and went to the shop where MrsS was working ... as I gave them to her, one of the women who worked with her asked "oh, what's the occasion?" ... told it was our anniversary, she asked "how long have you been married?"

We replied in unison ... she said "25 years" at the same time that I said "15 happy years" ...

the woman looked confused for a couple of seconds, then said "oh, I get it" ...

So, when you say "a good 40 years", my question is, how many years have you and Millie been married ???

Let me preface this by saying that, frst, I'm not a fan of Rosie O'Donnell but I am EVEN LESS of a Donald Trump fan. AND I'm not gay.

Here goes.

I'd like to be Donald Trump...for a day. I'd get up early in the morning and send Rosie O'Donnel 2 dozen roses. Then, I'd schedule dinner with her, take her to Rome, Paris, or wherever, and after dinner we'd go to a romantic spot.

I'd teach her what it REALLLY means to be a gay guy, and after our night of passion, I'd donate $100,000,000 to the gay & lesbian charity of HER choice.


The day is over.

Then DONALD TRUMP would wake up with Rosie spooning him, a HUGE smile on her face, a large tool still attached. He'd be in such agony from the waist down he is unable to walk to the bathroom to look in the mirror and see if he was dreaming. His assistant would phone him to tell him he was broke because he gave all his money to the gays.

But his hair would be just fine.

Here goes...

I'd like to be Tom Brady. I'd love to be an elite NFL QB (even with his knee injury this year: just means he's got some time to be with Giselle...).

Guy's sort of a stud, smart enough to do what he does, rich, has lots of options with the ladies, etc. But then I'd also like the ability to play golf like Tiger Woods (for the off season). And I'd like to be invisible whenever I wanted (I think about this with a sort of absurd frequency; a shrink could have a field day with that)...and be able to fly like Superman.

[Hey, f-you, the rules were anyone, anything, in the fantastical sense, and I actually just thought about this for about 9 minutes, which means it got more focused thought than anything else today]

i think psychologically speaking, invisibility is not as great as it would seem.

you would still have to look yourself in the face after you did what you did. i think it is one of those ideas like "no chold left behind" or "communism" that SOUNDS good, but in actuality, it just does not live up to expectations.

^What the hell do you think I'd be doing, man?! Sheesh, I just want to float around and be undetected. I'm not gonna push people in front of buses and rape sheep, etc. Leave my invisibility alone! It'd be F-U-N, damnit.

ha ha ha. ok, but being undetected means no accountability, and that would screw with your mind sometimes. plus, the loneliness you would feel from being alone.

i guess i have spent some time thinking about it. when i was in elementary school, H.G. Wells was my favorite author, what with the Invisible Man and the Time Machine (was once my favorite book).

Wanted to be invisible in high school.



-The football players and wrestlers couldn't find me.

-Could sneak into the girls locker room undetected.



Now that I'm older and more mature, I'd use invisibility to sneak into sorority houses and throw pillows at 18-21 year old girls when she and their roommates are stripping down for bedtime.



Picture the pillow fight in Animal House.

I'd wish that every wish that everyone else made was reversed ...

... life is too short to want to live forever ... you'd never really appreciate what you have otherwise and only with death can one really know what family love is all about... the miracle of witnessing the birth of your children is probably the most emotionally moving part of anyones life ... or at least it should be ...

... for who? Well, I think it would be pretty cool to be one of God's Herfing buddies ... smoking a Holy Grail Grand Reserve and watching the history of manking unfold before your eyes ... knowing ahead of time where to look to watch the Darwin Award Recipients right before you get to introduce yourself to them at the Pearly Gates, still laughing with tears in your eyes at how stupid they just were, etc ....

... and of course laughing hysterically when you could see fat people fall down in the shower ... all kinds of bennies and perks there ...
