Kandis [[The Dorky Sprite]]

Who I'd like to meet:

People who listen before they make judgements and understand that life is short and that it can be extraordinarily beautiful, and very, very funny.

People like Father Guido Sarducci.

People like the guy in this video. It's called "Where The Hell Is Matt" ~ enjoy...

Now, on to Fantasy land...

All of the people I've listed qualify as heros of mine - from the sacred to the profane, they all ROCK!

First, Non-Living persons in no particular order;

R. Buckminster Fuller (here standing next to 2 of his inventions)

Jean Michel Basquiat

Worhol (and all of his screwball minions),

Oh, and I've always wanted to meet (and possibly abscond with) a perky Louis Vuitton pig and a tattooed cat...

and this two legged horse...

[[Finally, this degenerates into an oddball geek-fantasy, I was very sleepy when I wrote it]]

It has always been a dream of mine to spend a day on a wine tasting "Adventure" WITH;

Christopher Walken as "The Continental"

The Fauxhawk Pope!

AND..... the 3 Stephens (King, Colbert & Speilberg)

AND George Lucas, Harrison Ford, William Shatner & John Waters.

We would be joined later by ALL their friends and families and fomer co-workers(just take a moment and imagine how many truly extraordinary people this would include)

for a giant Bar-B-Q "ShinDig-HootANanny-HoeDown" kind of thing, in a lovely shady spot at an endless mansion in Big Bear.

There would be mountains of Bar-B-Q food yummies prepared by Bobby Flay, Paula Dean and The Neelys ,

and dessert would be an exploding cake made by Duff Goldman and the Ace of Cakes Crew

Finally, after all the great food has been eaten and all that good company startes to go baaaaad,

Everyone would gather in the meadow to cap the day's festivities by singing camp songs and participating in a tension filled not-so-friendly game of Lawn Darts...

HOLY CRAP MARY ALICE!!!

If your gonna' play lawn darts, the rules are:

NO MORE BOX WINE!

and stay away from the "Continental"!!!

"Would anyone like some more Cham-payne-yuh?"
