It's time once again for Mama Kat's weekly assignment! I decided to choose the prompt: I want to become friends with ... However, I decided to change it a little, and do a top 10 list of people I'd like to become friends with, because ... well, I enjoy lists. So, here goes nothing (in no particular order):
10. Keith Richards - The guy is a rock legend, and quite a party guy. However, he'd probably be the end of me.
9. Brian Regan - I love his stand-up work, and he just seems like a funny guy to hang with.
8. Paul Ruud - I love the characters he plays in the Judd Appetow movies, and I love the one-liners ...
7. Ric Flair - Mr. Stylin' and Profilin'. Again, quite a party animal, but I'd love to hang out and listen to the wrestling stories he has.
6. Mick Jagger - Of course, the front man of my favorite rock and roll band ever. He probably has a ton of cool friends, and I'd love to hear more about the history of the Stones.
5. Keith Jones - The guy is a hockey-head, and just seems like a really funny guy to boot. I loved his book, and I'd love to hear more hockey stories.
4. Don Rickles - The king of the put-downs and one-liners. He'd fit in great with my friends.
3. Guy Fieri - He is the host of Diners and Drive-Ins - basically, he is a chef who makes food a simpleton like me would like. I need a chef like this as a friend.
2. Tom Brokaw - The man is pretty well-read when it comes to history. I'd love to chat with him about his experiences as a news reporter.
1. Bill Simmons - The guy LOVES sports, and is a great sports-writer (see ESPN page 2). I'd love to hang out and debate sports, movies, tv shows, and music with him over beers.

Would you have added Gene Rayburn if it didn't require exhuming a body?
Another question out of curiosity: 5 women you'd want to be friends with? (since the Top 10 list is all dudes) ..... babspeapod
Babs - I knew I'd get a comment about this. I'm really having trouble coming up with 5 famous females! Hmmm ... let's see:
5. Amy Pohler - I think she's hysterical, and also pretty easy on the eyes.
4. Suzanna Hoffs - For some reason, I'm a fan of the Bangles ... and I've always had a thing for Suzanna.
3. Campbell Brown - Not even sure why. I read her articles on cnn.com and they make a lot of sense ... she seems really smart, and knows her politics. I'm sure, she'd be able to logically answer a lot of my questions.
2. Maria (from Sesame Street) - She always seemed like the sensible one on Sesame Street, and even seemed to have a sense of humor.
1. Mia Hamm - She was a heckuva soccer player, and I've always digged women who could talk sports.
I would love to talk to Tom Brokaw too. I love hearing him on talk shows, etc.
I knew you'd have Mick Jagger on the list. ;)
Maria from Seasame Street was the sensible one. She works in the Fix-It Shop now. I always wanted to be friends with Snuffy from Seasame Street. It used to make me so upset when no one thought he was real.

I don't think you could be friends with both Keith and Mick. They would make you choose one of them.
and 5 women is easy for me:
Tina Fey
Kathy Griffin
Wanda Sykes
Gwen Stefani
Oh shit, I only have 4.
I guess you like The Rolling Stones, huh?? And I'd like to meet Paul Rudd, too.... such a cutie (although I'm sure that's not why you like him)!!
Oh and I am with Sandi... I'd love to meet Tina Fey... people tell me I resemble her!!
I think Tom Brokaw and Walter Cronkite together would be one heck of a fun conversation. And it we are allowed to exhume, I'd add in Murrow and maybe Ernie Pyle.
gotta have a porn star on the women list los
cmon
should I be proud that I know 5 of these people or embarrassed that I ONLY know 5 of these people. I need to get out more.
I actually have access to 2 of your 10... doesn't help you any, but you know, it's my big nah nah nah nah.
I'm pretty sure I'd end up bitch-slapping Don Rickles in the Hockey puck.
awesome list!!
