OT - If you could be a historical figure…

[LionJim]

John Holmes?

He died of AIDS. Try Tom Byron instead.

 

[ApexLion]

He died of AIDS. Try Tom Byron instead.

Obviously I would do things differently.

 

[massimoManca II]

Anthony Newley

 

[Nitt1300]

maybe Admiral Kimmel- knowing what we know now

 

[OhioLion]

He’s not deceased, however, as a retired 6th grade math teacher who couldn’t help his son with his HS math (that and his mother -my wife- took 5 calculus in college), I’m saying @LionJim

 

[PSU Mike]

Yes, I misplaced Alexander in the Ancient Greek timeline. You are correct.

Aristotle was Plato’s teacher, and Plato was Socrates’ teacher.

Totally backwards.

 

[PSU Mike]

John Holmes?

Yeah, if you could just afford the reduction procedure …

 

[PSU Mike]

Leonardo.

 

[KingLando]

Obviously I would do things differently.

And I think that's the question--the answer changes drastically if you can alter a part of their life

 

[Nitt1300]

Leonardo.

Leonardo.

 

[leinbacker]

Giacomo Casanova

 

[rigi19040]

Patton

 

[Chumboshifko1]

Carpet would be Charlie Manson.

 

[DaytonRickster]

I think I’d like to be one of the unnamed traveling companions of Luke and the apostle Paul as we read about in the New Testament. They went on some pretty wild and adventurous missionary journeys and definitely saw some things well out of the ordinary while proclaiming the greatest story ever told to people who never heard about it before.

Agree.

 

[Phils rug]

Carpet would be Charlie Manson.

Your so obsessed with me. 988, seek help

 

[Phils rug]

I'd settle for just being on the Lewis and Clark expedition. Exploring and mapping the west

 

[bbrown]

Interesting... I think Winston Churchill.

 

[fairgambit]

Sir Thomas More

 

[fairgambit]

Interesting... I think Winston Churchill.

An excellent choice and nearly mine as well. I went, instead, with Thomas More.
For those who may not know, Winston's mom was kinda hot back in the day.

 

[KingLando]

I was thinking Babe Ruth because...well, you had more fun than Babe Ruth but he died early so I'm rolling with Ted Williams if I'm picking an athlete.
Tough not to pick Brady as much as I hate him. He's the GOAT plus Gisele.

 

[Catch1lion]

Alexander the Great. Accomplished so much and when he found himself frustrated by a lack of support by his people (they were satisfied with what they had conquered) he checked out on top.

The way he might have rolled could have checked out on the bottom . Not that there’s anything wrong with that .

 

[Tgar]

Joe Strummer

Look at you Rockstar…..


Muhammad Ali.

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

Col. Hogan

 

[LB99]

The car or the explorer?

Ford makes the Explorer.

 

[LB99]

Myself. If I had been 3% less of an idiot, my life would have been 95% better.

That sounds like a Yogi Berra quote.

 

[Grant Green]

He died of AIDS. Try Tom Byron instead.

Had a terrible drug addiction, participated in some gay films ( not that there’s anything wrong with that) when desperate for money and was involved in the gruesome wonderland murders.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Benjamin Franklin comes to mind for non-Biblical figures. That man was the 1700s equivalent of the World's Most Interesting Man!

Inventor, Founding Father, Diplomat, Wealthiest Man in US and Renowned Ladies Man.

 

[Nits74]

Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln.

 

[Chumboshifko1]

Eliot Ness or Joe Paterno.

"Though he never again met with the Grand Council, Eliot Ness was no longer gadjo to the Gypsy peoples".

 

[LionJim]

Holmes had a terrible drug addiction, participated in some gay films ( not that there’s anything wrong with that) when desperate for money and was involved in the gruesome wonderland murders.

Fixed. #propernounsmatter

 

[UncleRoyBiggins]

Sober Elvis

 

[lemonears]

For me it's a tie between Joe Paterno and Isaac Newton. I admire both.

 

[WDLion]

Marco Polo

 

[WEP6to12]

I'd settle for just being on the Lewis and Clark expedition. Exploring and mapping the west

Heading to Clarkston, WA in September for a Snake and Columbia River cruise. Quite the one year adventure to get to Washington. I never would have survived the trip.

 

[Mr. Potter]

GENERAL GEORGE CATLETT MARSHALL!

 

[Grant Green]

Fixed. #propernounsmatter

 

[Roar More]

Gavrilo Princip, but I would have stayed home on June 28, 1918 and saved tens of millions of lives, including most of my European family.

 

[Chumboshifko1]

Q

Gavrilo Princip, but I would have stayed home on June 28, 1918 and saved tens of millions of lives, including most of my European .

Joe knew.

Idiot.

 

[Roar More]

Q


Joe knew.

Idiot.

WTF?

 

[CVLion]

I’m also going to go with Ben Franklin.

He was a pretty awesome dude.
