Top 100 surveyed, name a famous couple, past or present, you'd like to spend an evening with.

[Rabrrrrrr]

Poll question: Top 100 surveyed, name a famous couple, past or present, you'd like to spend an evening with.

Just turned on the TV, and it was on Family Feud, and this was the question.

Here are the top five answers, in order, that were given by the survey takers, with the number of people who gave that answer in parentheses.

I offer an "other" category as well.

Who would you pick if you had the chance to spend the evening with any couple, past or present?

I sure as hell wouldn't pick Brad and Angelina, that's for fucking sure.

Remember, the survey specifically included FAMOUS in the question.

My answer surely would change based on mood, but right now I'm thinking an evening with Abraham and Sarah (assuming through this magic that we can understand each other) would be an amazing evening. I'd love to get a few hours of asking Abraham what he thinks about the three religions he spawned, and how we're acting today.

1. Abe and sally sounds intriguing. So do Jesus and Peter or Mary M.

[tigereye]

2. any intriguing couples who are academic researchers -

particularly in neurology or neuropsychology.

Like the woman who's the new head of MIT and whomever she is partnered with.



I have different preoccupations that most people. ;)



or, any cool jazz musicians and their partners, or Patti Smith and her partner.

[Parche]

3. I Know The Rabrrrrr's Are More Famous Then These People

Actually I would love to have dinner with James and Dolly Madison, one of my favorite Presidents


2nd place is Admiral Halsey and wife.....:hi:

[OmahaBlueDog]

4. Mr & Mrs Warren Buffet

They like to get T-bone steaks at Gorats, which I can fully support (although among Omaha's legacy restaurants, I prefer Johnny's Cafe).

I can compliment him on his community mindedness, his choice to be a Democrat, and ask him for stock tips. I'd like to ask her how she feels about Warren staying in Omaha, instead of heading for Hawaii, Dubai, or Switzerland.

5. Antony and Cleopatra

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. will i get to fuck this couple? then brad and angelina

[GoneOffShore]

[La Lioness Priyanka]

13. cant lock based on one post

[GoneOffShore]

15. I know.

Just fooling.

And you reminded me of a game we do at dinner parties -

The " Name one famous person who you'd do without question"

And you got a twofer!

:bounce:

[DS1]

7. Kristanna Loken and Pink

:P

[Inchworm]

8. Pocahontas and John Smith

Or maybe Mary Magdalene and Jesus.

Just for curiositie's sake.

:hi:

[Iggo]

9. Scarlett Johansson...(n/t)

[geardaddy]

17. lol

[GoneOffShore]

10. Julia and Paul Child

or Jacques Pepin and his wife.

[Aristus]

12. John and Abigail Adams.

I'd like to tell him kudos for opposing the continued slave trade in an independent America, but what the hell was up with the Alien and Sedition Acts?

[FloridaJudy]

14. Franklin and Eleanor would be my first pick

I imagine they'd have some choice observations to make on the present Resident. Simone and Jean-Paul would be a second choice: should I make a phone call? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crIJvcWkVcs

And I'd love to ask Yeshua and Miriam if the rumors are true.

Brad and Angelina aren't even on my radar.

[Sugar Smack]

16. Stephen & Tabitha King

immediately comes to mind.

[Sugar Smack]

22. Also, Yoko Ono & John Lennon-

[geardaddy]

18. Boudicca and Prasutagus

[BeachBaby]

19. I didn't even have to think about my answer.....

[Sugar Smack]

20. OH!!!

:loveya: OH.

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. Bono and Swoosie Kurtz?

I don't recognize them.

[BeachBaby]

23. How ya doin', babe....

I haven't been around much lately....moving the boyfriend into my house and working fulltime tends to decrease my pev attributes. No point in being here without it. :P

[Rabrrrrrr]

No, that doesn't help me, either.

I don't recognize any of those lines.

Perhaps if you just told me who those people are.

[Connonym]

33. oh yeah, especially it it's with Lionesspriyanka's rules!

[hellbound-liberal]

44. First couple that came to my mind too! Love them both!

My second choice might be Phil Donahue and Marlo Thomas.:toast:

[SteppingRazor]

24. How 'bout F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald?

That'd be one helluva good time.

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. I almost answered with them.

It's a tempting choice!

[SteppingRazor]

28. I liked your answer at first, but then...

I figured that, in reality, Abraham was a really simple guy. If you asked him what he thought of the three world religions he had spawned and their current relations to each other, and you could understand each other, he'd probably say, "Uh ... what? Hey, want me to show you how to milk a goat?"

Then Sarah would smack around for the whole Hagar thing, and then your dinner party would be officially ruined after he dragged a goat into it.

[Blue-Jay]

26. Bonnie & Clyde

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. Pre- or post-shot-to-hell?

38. oh yeah, I want to go too. It would be fantastic. nt

32. Charles Laughton and Elsa Lanchester

Couple of beers, watch a game, throw some brats on the grill.

[martymar64]

34. Abbie and Annette Hoffman

We'd get high and talk left wing politics.

[Fire Walk With Me]

35. Sid and Nancy.

[Cant trust em]

I bet they're awesome dinner table conversationalists.

[Sugar Smack]

Al and Tipper Gore

[NightWatcher]

43. Hemingway and a bottle of whatever he was drinking

[quakerboy]

45. Of those choices,

JFK and Jackie, fo sho. I am too young to remember them, so it would be very cool to see what it was all about and why it had such an effect on this nation.

But in all reality, other. Um... Can I say Jesus and whoever he may or may not have been boinking? If not, Adam and Eve, because as christian, yet a student of history, and biology, I would be very curious as to their existance, their own self understanding, the times they lived in outside of a relatively small example in a book that is arguably more about teaching than literality, etc.
