Camping Trip

[Colour Scientist]

I've been listening to the radio a lot at work lately and I was inspired to make this thread by a competition one particular host ran.

Okay, so it's kind of similar to the desert island scenario but bear with me.
You are going on a camping trip. On this trip, you can take two people with you. These two people can be alive or dead, real or imaginary and from any time or dimension. They also don't have to have any connection to each other whatsoever.

You also have to give a reason as to why you picked these two people.

So, say you brought John Lennon and Bob Dylan because you wanted to have a really awesome campfire singalong, or Marilyn Monroe and Lee Harvey Oswald because you want the truth about JFK, or a celebrity chef because you hate camping food and a supermodel you fancy, it could even be Daft Punk. It can be because you hate them or because you want to get to know them or because you think it would be really interesting to see those two people together.

However, no cop-out answers like boyfriends/girlfriends/friends/family because you love them and they're super fun.

No one likes those answers!

My first instinct is to say Churchill and Stalin, purely because I would love to attempt a drinking session with them. A camping trip would be as good a place as any.

Anyway, for my second choice I'd probably pick a couple of cool scientists/smart men & talk philosophy with them. So probably Leonardo Da Vinci & Paul Lutus, that would make for some interesting conversation.

Hmmmmm......

I would pick, Albert Einstein,

and Spyro the Dragon.

I would love to have a long chat with Einstein. Einstein is one of the greatest badasses of all time!
Spyro the Dragon because he was pretty much the first video game character that I really liked. Plus, he's a F@#king dragon!

I think Spyro and Einstein may actually have a lot more to talk about then you may think too. Spyro comes from a world were portals that let you travel to far away lands in no time are as common as water fountains. I imagine that would peak his interest. Plus, who wouldn't want to talk to a dragon?

Heresy!

You like the Purple Menace!?
You shall fall like the Dragon-kind in my war of revenge!!!!1! (nah but I like him too)

OT: Interesting thread. Hmm this be a toughie.
My first pick would be Bear Grylls because if we were ever to get in trouble we would have plenty of piss to drink!

My other pick would have to be... Akira Kurosawa. I found his movies to be brilliant and I'd love to just sit around a campfire and talk about his techniques and stuff while drinking some distilled and fermented alcoholic piss.

I tell you who I wouldn't bring though. That Imp Emissary guy, yeesh what a putz

 

[Magnethead]

God and Christopher Hitchens. That would be some debate!

 

[KaZuYa]

Charles Dance

and Christopher Walken

Because they are the coolest people on the planet.

Oh, don't worry. x) I'll be there anyway.
And I'll get away too!

 

[CriticalMiss]

Hitler and a Predator. Who wouldn't want to watch that? "Get to die chopperen!"

For cereal:
1) Kari Byron from Mythbusters. She knows how to do stuff so if we found ourselves fending off a werewolf attack I wouldn't have to worry too much about her, she's also pretty.
2) Bambi. Because you've got to eat.

 

[shrekfan246]

Well this is a difficult one.

I wouldn't say no to a week with Emma Watson, though.

Spoiler

Ahem...

I don't know, maybe Gene Roddenberry and J. J. Abrams just to see Roddenberry explode in anger at what's happened to Star Trek recently?

Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, perhaps? Sitting around a campfire into the night with two of the most prestigious modern English writers (at least in my opinion) would be pretty sweet, since this magical camping trip brings people back to life.

 

[Shock and Awe]

To be completely honest? Jesus and John Lennon. I'm gonna get some serious shit straight and I'm gonna get a real nice campfire song to tie everything up. Boring? Yeah, but it seemed like the best answer.

I'm a silly little Imp.

Go right ahead! We won't share the marshmallows or the piss! We'll just leave you alone in a corner!

I can't grow a beard.

D: Oh no! I can't drink pee? So sad.

Who needs marshmallows? I can have Spyro help me make burgers!

Sheep is awesome. I wish I were half as wooly and sexy as he was. I'm just a teapot.

They better be veggie burgers! Cuz wea in't letting you eat our food. You'll be stuck with leaves and bark!

 

[Commissar Sae]

Heinrich Von Brandt and George Orwell. Brandt could regale us with his memories of life in Poland and the Napoleonic battlefields and Orwell would be an interesting discussion partner as well as being able to identify with the hardships of Brandts life. I guess I could cook.

 

[WouldYouKindly]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say language won't matter?

Nikola Tesla. His is a mind of as much influence as Einstein, but in practical science rather than theoretical science. Maybe I could ask him about his death ray... also, I'd probably have a satellite dish and wi-fi by the end of the week.

As for the other, The Red Baron. I've always been interested in aviation and I've been sorely lacking in knowledge of WWI aircraft and tactics.

 

[Mossberg Shotty]

Lee Harvey Oswald

You stole half of my answer, OP.

I would choose John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald. And on the off-chance they didn't promptly assassinate me, I would get to set the record straight, finally. And then one would probably try to assassinate the other.

 

[FalloutJack]

The Doctor and The Master.

This is a setup that requires no explanation. Murphy's Law dictates that something interesting will happen.

 

[Atmos Duality]

The Doctor and The Master.

This is a setup that requires no explanation. Murphy's Law dictates that something interesting will happen.

Specifically, Delgado and Pertwee for me.
Though the drawback of inviting those two is that they were such close friends that they would be playing off of each other all night.

 

[ShipofFools]

Aldous Huxley and Hunter Thompson.

It's going to be INTENSE.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

Bill Hicks and Sam Kinison.

Because if I'm going to be on a camping trip, I want to put the emphasis on "trip".
