wildstorm 300 Posted January 8, 2015 I would love to meet Leonard Nimoy ,Kirk Douglas Christopher Lee, Leslie Philips and Olivia de Havilland. Kirk Douglas, probably.. No offense to old Kirk, but I would not want to meet him. His stroke in 1996 has impeded his speech in such a way that I've had a hard time understanding him ever since. Literally, I would need a translator if a meeting was to occur. For the record, I don't actually care about meeting him. Since this thread was made before the 2015 list was posted, I intended this post to be a joke (ie. 'Kirk Douglas is probably on the list, so I'll just put his name down') Obviously, I fail at nuance.

thefunkyfaz 51 Posted January 10, 2015 Leslie Phillips. No contest really. I have had several pints (on a couple of occasions) with someone who knows him pretty well, and he is apparently just as you'd expect him to be - utterly charming with a slightly roguish twinkle.

Predictor 1,018 Posted July 22, 2015 I try to imagine what an encounter with all the living people in the DL would look like: Zsa Zsa Gabor: [Hands over a ”Survivor of the decade” diploma] João Havelange: ”Whoa dude, you’re old enough to be Sepp Blatter’s father. Are you?” Herman Wouk: ”I’ll probably be 100 myself by the time I’m done reading all your published works." Billy Graham: "Umm, okey...thank you Reverend Graham for that interesting two-hour long lecture about how great Jesus Christ is. But all I asked was ”how are ya?" Olivia de Havilland: ”Hey, wait a minute. Is that a dart board with a picture of Joan Fontaine’s face on that wall over there?!” Javier Pérez de Cuéllar: ”You shouldn’t feel bad about being the forgotten UN Secretary-General. As a Swede, I can assure you that things could be a lot worse.” Denis Healey: [Don’t stare at his eyebrows, be polite. Don’t stare at his eyebrows, be polite] George Bush Sr: "What was the point of giving your first AND one of your middle names to your son? Was the president gene located in the ”W”?" Prince Philip: ”So let me get this straight...you’re a prince who’s married to a queen? That sounds kinda incestuous...” Helmut Schmidt: ”Does your first name protect you from head injuries? No? You think I’m mind-numbingly unfunny? Fair enough.” Fidel Castro: ”FUCKING BAST...oh, is that a Cuban cigar? Can I try one, pretty please?” Kirk Douglas: ”I beg your pardon? What did you just say? Could you write that sentence on a piece of paper?” Clive James: ”Nice meeting you, mate. Or should I say Vivian?” Al Molinaro: ”Oh, so you really ARE alive...” Valerie Harper: ”A spin-off show that actually didn’t fail? Impressive.” Maureen O’Hara: ”It’s an honour to meet you. I’m O’Predictor.” Martin Crowe: ”You’re my second-favourite cricketer in the whole wide world after Jiminy.” Bhumibol Adulyadej: ”Do you realize how much it would suck for you if you died before June 9, 2016”? Helmut Kohl: [uninvites Predictor after a phone call from Mr. Schmidt] Leslie Phillips: ”All I’m asking is for you to determine which Hogwarts house I would be in if I were a wizard.” Ken Kercheval: ”Five bottles is more than enough now, Mr. Kercheval...” Harper Lee: ”Did an angry mob from PETA ever go after you because of the title you chose for your bestseller?” Bob Dole: ”There's this really cool thing called first person pronoun. You should totally try it sometime.” Joost van der Westhuizen: ”I hate it when too young people get really ill, so I hope you recover and score a rugby touchdown." Doris Day: [Asks about working with Hitchcock] Peter O’Sullevan: ”No, I’m afraid I don’t watch horse racing." [Awkward silence] George Cole: ”Don’t you think you were a little too old to play the part of ”Boy” in the 1944 film Henry V?" Peter Sallis: ”I’m hungry. Got any cheese, Mr. Sallis?” Denis Norden: ”Mr. Norden, I'm sitting right here. That thing you've been talking to for the past few minutes is a bookshelf." Henry Kissinger: ”I’m really flattered by your kind words, but it was actually our neighbours, the Norwegians, that gave you the Nobel Peace Prize, not us.” Jake LaMotta: [Note to self: Do not say anything that will piss Jake LaMotta off] Cliff Michelmore: "Psst, tell me, were you in on the whole Moon landing scam in 1969, directed by Kubrick?” Nancy Reagan: ”FIRST lady, SECOND wife would make a great tombstone inscription, don’t you agree?” Hosni Mubarak: ”Let’s start a viking-pharao pact, Mr. Mubarak.” Liz Smith: ”Got any old pictures of yourself from the 1940s?” Robert Mugabe: ”FUCKING BASTARD!” Chuck Berry: ”Could you teach me how to play the guitar?” Richard Adams: ”No, Mr. Adams, I haven’t read any of your books, I’m afraid.” [Awkward silence] Jake Roberts: ”You’re too young for this. C’mon, use your wrestling skills to fight off death.” Vera Lynn: ”Sorry, none of my grandparents were veterans, but I’m sure they liked you anyways.” Eddie Large: ”Oh, you’re nothing but a Laurel and Hardy rip-off.” Bill Maynard: ”At last, my final visit!” :rolleyes: 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
