Who Would You Stand in Line To Meet?

[wheelieguy]

Gun Runner,

My thoughts, exactly!

My dad had this under the glass on his desk. I now have it under the same glass on the same desk. I wish it was still dad's desk (it was his fathers).

When I Was……

4 Years: My daddy can do anything
7 Years: My daddy knows a lot, a whole lot.
8 Years: My father doesn’t quite know everything.
12 Years: Oh well, naturally my father doesn’t know everything.
14 Years: Father? Hopelessly old fashioned.
21 Years: Oh! That man is out of date, what did you expect?
25 Years: He knows a little bit about it, but not much.
30 Years: Must find out what dad thinks about it.
35 Years: A little patience, let’s get dad’s opinion first.
50 Years: What would dad have thought about it?
60 Years: My dad knew literally everything.
65 Years: I wish I could talk it over with dad once more.

I'm low on pride these days. I'd stand in line (a short one) to meet Cajun Lawyer. I've met Charlie a few times, and expect to again. One of these gun shows I expect to meet Leyand Ray and maybe Leezana Joe. But those folks stood in line to meet all of us.

I'm not standing in line to meet Lee, he's never at his table anyway. If you want to meet or see him, you've got to stagger aimlessly (like him) around the gun show.

And I'd probably stand in line to meet Feralmerril. I think him and me would have a lot in common.

I prefer to meet with and talk to real people. I consider all politicians to be fakes and frauds. I'd probably like to meet Sarah Palin, but I think I also like viewing her from a safe distance.

Yes, I've stood in line to meet with the bartender a time or two, and expect to again. But with them, its not to meet them but rather get what they've got for me.

My youngest son and I waited in line for 4 hours to be close to the stage when W was doing his Social security tour a few years ago. Just watching the secret service work was worth it.
That son is now a police officer and a National Guard soldier heading for Iraq next week.
I will be waiting in line a year from now when his flight is landing.

I did wait in line a couple of times, but neither time was for a politician. I got to meet Chuck Yeager and I stood in a short line to meet Brian Shul. While everybody should know who Chuck Yeager is, Brian Shul was one of the last pilots for the SR-71 Blackbird when it was still operational. He wrote a great book with excellent pictures of the blackbird called Sled Driver. The only other living person I would probably stand in line to meet is Ben Rich, the man who took over Kelly Johnson's post as the leader of Skunk Works. If you haven't guessed my other interest, besides guns, is aviation.

 

[Bullseye Smith]

Halley Berry or Stevie Nicks

Stand in Line

At my age, not one person on earth. What's the point anyway?

Amen....

 

[Frailer]

There are quite a few people that I'd love the opportunity to sit down and share a beer (or cup of coffee) with, but stand in line just to shake hands and exchange a few words with someone?

No thanks; I'll pass.

"...Stevie Nicks"

I once worked security at a private show she was giving in Dallas back in the mid-1980s and she fell down some stairs into me. It was 2:00 in the morning and neither of us was much impressed with the other.

I got to have Grace Jones' spit rain down on me during her performance at that same event. Now that was really unimpressive.

I'll be waiting in line to see our son who returns from his U.S.M.C assignment with the 31st MEU after the first of the year.

[Bullseye 2620]

Tȟašúŋke Witkó, in Lakotah, or "His-Horse-Is-Spirited," or "Crazy Horse," in English, perhaps the greatest tactician of the finest light cavalry the world has ever seen.

And Colonel Walter E. Kurtz.

I don't do lines.

If the post office or grocery store or bank has lines, I come back.

Stand still, you're a target.

 

[TRanger]

There is probably no one living today I would stand in line to meet. I wouldn't cross the street to say hello to most of today's "celebrities."

 

[firestrat]

I have a daughter who is 18 months old and she is the only person that I can think of that I would stand in line for. The line to sit on Santas' lap, the line for the latest Disney movie, any line that allows me to do something for her.

I won't waste my time standing in line to meet anyone and I mean ANYONE.

 

[Rick in IA.]

Barb C.... !

 

[gizamo]

There are some LRRP's and Op's Officers that I would spend a good deal of time waitin' to shake hands with....

[NKJ nut]

The only one I can think of that I would stand in line to meet is the Lord Jesus Christ, but if the wait was too long I still might drop out. I hate standing in a waiting line.

 

[Engineer1911]

The air force cured me of line standing. I usually sit down when waiting for Mrs Engineer.

 

[therevjay]

Other then God? Nobody.

There has not been anyone in recent history that I thought I would stand in line to meet. But then I met the 2009 Playboy Playmate of the year in Las Vegas last year...............
