Ghandi   		great motivator ... true to himself and his cause
Hitler   		great motivator ... the evil opposite twin
Yiayia Kageleiry 	grandmother ... in this life she could speak 
								English 

    eva braun, mrs ghandi, and j. edgar hoover.

    My mother, my grandmother, and my grandfather.  :-)
    
    If we're limiting it to people I don't know personally, hmmm...
    assuming I could say anything I wanted to these people with
    impunity, then probably:
    
    Bill Clinton	Needs no introduction
    Abe Lincoln		Needs even less introduction
    Irwin Allen		Creator/producer of lovable-but-junky sci-fi TV
    
    The theme of the discussions would be "Why?"
    
    Chris

Who's this Ghandi?  Oh, you mean Gandhi.

   .14  but Jack, we've met.  (i make quite an impression, i do.)

    
    
    	Hey!  That's FOUR and *I'm* not even on the list!  *pout*
    
    
    
    
    	=)
    

    Uhh Ohhh.....umm.....errrr...we talked yesterday JJ!! :-)

    
    
    	Hmmmmmmmmmmm.  Ok, I'll let that slide *this* time!  =)
    

    
    You tell 'em, BlazerBoy.
    

 he don't talk much, does he?

    
    	At least he didn't spell anything wrong.
    

      Jesus Christ
    
      John Merrick
    
      maybe Enoch
    
      Meg, Jefferson would definitely be high on my list too!

  Attila the Hun      his style always appealed to me
  Francois I          the first renaisance king of france who built most of the
		      great chateaux in the loire valley
  Crazy Horse	      the greatest light calavary leader in history

    A lot of people are swearing in this note. There's really no need for
    the profanity, is there?

    only three?  At this unique moment in time I'd pick:
    
    Oscar Wilde
    Mary Shelley
    Maynard Keynes
    
    DougO

    bb, I am flattered to be on such a short list.  Anyone up for a Friday
    lunch at Sierra's this week?  I haven't stood anyone up in awhile.  
    
    Tristan Jones
    G. Gordon Liddy
    Mark Twain
    
    

    I would aks where Sierra's is but knowing Brian I'll probably end up in
    Chelsea!!

  .28  it's in Maynard - home of the routine engineering crisis.

    I'd like to hook Thomas Jefferson up with my PC and have him and settle
    all the box arguments, once and for all, about this "separation of
    church and state nonsense" (then have him address the Supreme Court
    about this and many other issues). 
    
    
    I'll keep my other two picks in reserve for a while...

    
    >I'd like to hook Thomas Jefferson up with my PC
    >and have him
    >and settle all the box arguments,
    
    
    	Well, if you hook him up and settle all the box arguments first,
    	it'll give you more continuous quality time together.
    

    Adam and Eve, don't eat that apple.

    Jack, Jack, Jack.  I can't believe you think of me as being such a
    mean spirited individual.  You are quite welcome to join us.  From TAY,
    get onto Rt. 2 heading East.  Follow Rt. 2 until you get to Storrow Dr.
    and take that all the way to the end.  Follow the signs for the Tobin
    Bridge and cross that.  Take your first exit after the bridge and you
    are right there.  We'll be waiting for you at Sierra's.  

    
    I bet good money that Brian has something come up again? 

    Mark, when did you pick up Saturnspeak?

    
    it appears extra question marks have now been added to my repatiore.

    
    Whatever that is.
    
    

 Z   Jack, Jack, Jack.  I can't believe you think of me as being such a
 Z   mean spirited individual.  You are quite welcome to join us.  From

    Okay...thanks pal.  I'll see you there!!!
    
    Your friend,

    dictionary is a foreign object to me.

    
    well, i'll be bowled over if brian actually makes it in person. 
    i really will.

    
    Are we going to lunch or something?
    
    Signed,

    debra dearest, please don't put yourself down like that. You're at
    least smarter than shawn and I.

    
    	Change "and" to "or" and I'll agree with that.
    
    	Together we've got to have her beat by at least a point or so.
    	And we have twice as many arms.
    

    
    >.28  it's in Maynard - home of the routine engineering crisis.
         
    actually, it's in sudbury...
    
    

>    actually, it's in sudbury...

	oh.  thanks.

    
    

    
    .46
    
    you obviously understand directions as well as you do sarcasm

    
    	RE: .46
    
    	Wow, I'm surprised you didn't refute that also.  8^)
    
    	You've been very argumentive lately.
    

    
    	I wonder if Brian scheduled Friday because he
    	knows Friday is the day I usually am unavailable ?
    
    	He may be in for a surprise.
    
    

  i'm out good friday

  even if there is a routine engineering crisis

  bb

    
    bb, every friday is a good friday. hth

    No, nothing sinister like scheduling things when I know someone is
    unavailable.  It was a handy reference point seemingly suitably far
    enough temporally distant that thos that wished to attend would have
    the time to make the proper arrangements to do so.  Besides, I am not
    privy to anyone's schedule other than my own and even that sometimes
    eludes me.  If Friday is inconvenient for folks, we can shoot for
    tomorrow.  I have nothing scheduled until later in the afternoon.  

    
    	Oh, sure, now that I said I may be able to make it, you
    	want to change it.
    
    	thanks.
    

    Eeesh.  I was actually trying to be accommodating.  Oh well, so much
    for good intentions.  

   whoosh?

you called?

    
    in case you have mislaid this bit of information, friday is "good
    friday", and from what little i remember from my ccd classes, no meat
    is supposed to be eaten on good friday.  and what's the point of going
    to a mexican restaurant if you can't have any meat/chicken dishes???
    
    

    
    Some of us aren't Cathaholics and it don't apply!
    

    
    	Refried beans.  By the bowlful.
    
    	However, I will be nowhere near you if that's the case.
    

    
    	RE: .59
    
    	Typical selfish 'BOXer attitude.
    

    
    Come over here and say that 8^E.
    

    We could always pick a different venue, like the quarterdeck or other
    appropriate spot.

    
    Euuuu.
    

    
    	RE: .62
    
    	I will not be intimidated!!
    
    	Well, not every time.
    

    Perhaps I'll just play b-ball.

 Sorry..I can't make it...will be in the wonderful town of Augusta, Maine.



 Jim

    
    	Well, if Jim can't make it, I'm sure that's a good reason to re-
    	schedule.
    
    	Karen, which other days are bad for you?
    

    
    i meant not to cause trouble.  just pointing out a fact that may have
    been forgotten.
    
    and it matters not, as i will not be able to make it.  not that anyone
    asked...
    
    

 You know raq...i was just asking myself.."I wonder if raq is going to make it"
 when I read your note..



 Jim

    
    <getting out violin>
    

    
    <--- trying to cause trouble, eh?

    Wheres this getTOgether? Maaaass?

    
    	Well, if anyone cares:
    
    	I can meet for lunch on Friday, as long as I can be 
    	back in Hudson for a 1:00 meeting.  Maybe mz_debra can
    	skip breakfast so she can actually consider ordering lunch	
        before noon.
    
    	I am not averse to enjoying beef or chicken, though I
    	was seriously considering gazpacho.
    
    	Thursday is bad for me, in case Shawn wanted to reschedule.
    
    

    
    I care, and care deeply.
    

I was able to find a perfectly acceptable non-meat dish on the last Friday
I went to Sierra's.

However, Good Friday is not just an abstinence (no meat) Friday, it's a
_fast_ (as little food as possible) Friday.

/john

I'm just going to have to find a substitute for food then.

    
    look, Karen, if you're going to go, then go. you could leave early,
    place your order, eat, and then chat. You'll be able to get back for
    your 1:00 meeting. Hell, the meeting is probably worthless to begin
    with.

    
    	So, what you're saying is, you don't care ?
    
    

    
    <---- can't pull the wool over your eyes.

    
    	RE: .74
    
    	Thursday it is.
    
    	[Kidding!!]
    

Hmm.  I might be able to make this one.  Hair's clean.
Sock draw is in order.  I could show Di my new towball.

I would like to have spent a day with Richard Feynman.

P.S. A women's nude volleyball team used to practice on Moonstone 
Beach in RI (so I've heard...).

    
    	So, if I arrive at Sierra's around 11:30, will I end up
    	eating alone ?
    
    

    
    <--- look, i explained this once already for you.

    
    isn't 11:30 a little early for lunch??
    
    

    it depends on whether you sleep all morning or not

    I'd love to have met Abe Lincoln.
    I imagine him a tormented soul (thanks to the Civil War),
    who wrote his own speeches (unlike politicians of today),
    would ride his horse and carriage around D.C. late at
    night by himself (to his guards dismay), lived through
    a parent's nightmare (his young son died while they were
    living in the White House) and towards the end his wife
    got a bit flaky.  Through it all he strived to do what
    was best.  He never said, "I was misquoted", "I didn't
    inhale", or "Oh, I thought wedding vows were only
    temporary."  

    
    William Wallace.

    
    <--- preferably before his beheading.

    The aliens in the space ship following Hale-Bopp.  Vodka and
    phnobarbital or LSD induced delusions?

    
    Most definately, especially if he looked like Mel Gibson. ;-)

    Better to meet a president who was the biggest usurper of civil rights
    that a pot smoking womanizing slob???

Wish to meet 1. Buddha to talk abt life
             2. The person I love 
             3. The person who love me.
[Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

1. My father, before he became so angry
2. My younger brother, once more, to have the chance to say all those
things I shoulda said
3. Jefferson, to run an enormous guilt trip on him (then to order him to
clean his room)
