BS: Who would YOU be chained to?

From: Bert

They were advertizing one of those silly TV shows last night, they are going to chain 5 people together for a few days. I dunno how they think these things up.

Tree says to me "Which four people would you choose be chained to?"

I chose, Jane Seymour, Seven of Nine, Leela and Zena.

So how about you?

Bert.

Bert,
You didn't include Tree in that list. Did she notice? Bert???? Bert????? Wonder where she chained him? Serve him right if he's locked in the basement with a constantly replaying recording of "Honey" or "Feelings".

Nope, not allowed, you're ALREADY chained to your spouse.

And, HEY, this is a game and your spouse is a 'given' choice that everyone is going to have. So you have to choose four MORE. OK?

Actually SINSMELUV, Tree suggested the game and was helping me choose.

Donald Trump (if I have to be chained to someone, at least we'll have a decent hotel room), George Bush Jr. for levity, Kendall to balance Bush, and Spaw to help us see the humor in the situation.

Actually, forget that. I want Cletus, Paw, and 2 Reg boys. For once I want to witness the chaos first hand.

Valerie Bertinelli, no contest!

Among little known facts is, I'm an expert on this:

I Saw her on that Celebrity Millionaire show last week.

Hadn't seen her in ten years.

She's no spring chicken anymore, but . . .

she actually looks better than I remember.

These thoughts ran over and over through my mind.

1) My wife's still #1; but if I had to, I could concentrate on VB's face for about 16 years - it's like all the beauty in the world concentrated right there.

2) After being raised by a heroin addict, her sister on that old TV show had to share screentime with that face. No wonder she had problems of her own.

3) Hope my wife doesn't look over and talk for just a minute more.

4) Thought Markie Post (Night Court?) and a few others were her equal, sorry Markie!

5) Married to Van Halen for 20 years, and her ears still work, even. Wow!

Oh, my wife has a few Mel Gibsons in her dream world too.

Probably healthy.

I think since we're assuming all of the fun that should go with said chaining.....I like the idea of Valerie Bertinelli and Markie Post but I'd have to go with Kathy Ireland, Julia Roberts, Halle Berry, and my brother. Hey, I'd have to rest sometime and besides, if he found out that I was chained to Kathy, Julia, and Halle and didn't invite him......he'd kill me!!!!!

If I had my wish, I would like to be chained to my father who has passed away, my mom who has passed away, my brother that has become a Hassidic Jew, and my sister.
Being chained to my family for a few days would allow me to understand many things that have gone unanswered for such a long time. I figure if I did that, I could drop much of the baggage I have chained myself to for all these years.

Matt- I'm from a different generation! I was thinking more along the lines of Charlie Brown/Peanuts, the comic strip. Or maybe Batman: Pow!

Nowadays, I would choose older people to be chained to who were at the stage of being mentally, rather than physically, active with their whole history behind them. People like Robert Frost, Abe Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt and John Muir...

I know, they're all dead- I tell you what: wait until I'm dead too and then chain me to them. As long as I'm alive, I don't want chains.

Thanks Matt. You're good for the self-esteem.

I don't think I would want to be chained to anyone. I need privacy when I'm peeing. But, if I could be chained to four people and still be able to pee in private... one of them might be Alan Rickman. One of them might be Patrick Stewart. I might go for Billy Connolly. Hell of a great accent, and funny as well. Dunno just now about the fourth one...

BobP: my friend Fritz met Valerie Bertinelli years ago and tells a great story about it: she was pregnant and miserable, hanging out at a recording session of her husband's. Fritz was a sound engineer. He saw she was not happy and he had a very cute picture of his two kittens. He thought he heard she was a cat lover and just went over to her and said "Hey Valerie do you like cats?" She said yes, he showed her the photo, and she went gaga! "We have three Persians!" she crowed. (I remember a spread in Seventeen magazine when I was a kid; she posed with one of them; beautiful photo). He got her to sign the photo for his cats: "To Trixie and Dixielove, Valerie Bertinelli"

Cute huh?

Well on the Man-band thread 'Spaw wants to chain me to Lane, Fielding, Swan and Paterson. I'd be honoured to be in their company, but once they'd heard me sing or toot my kazoo they'd vote my wazoo (is that the correct North American expression?) out of there fast! But it would be worth it to hear them sing, talk and play!
