Plus if you need someone to take a punch for you, he's your man. 2) David Aaronovitch - a columnist for The Times and generally comes out with the most sensible, informed positions I've ever heard. 3) Adam West - total dude and would be an awesome wiseman to have as a got to guy. 4) Natalie Haynes - Funniest female comedian I've ever seen, damned smart and see's pretty easy on the eyes (for a 34 year old!). 5) John Mearsheimer - Professor of Politics and the University of Chicago and continually comes out with smart, pragmatic theories. |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 535 Joined: 28 Aug 2008    | Mine would be: Achmed the Dead Terrorist- because his just funny and he can kill people. My pet 'Damian 'd' Bunny'- because she can scratch and we have a lot of similarities. Goku (from dragon Z)- because he can do a Ka-Me-Ha-Me-Ha and last but not least my friend Tilly Toast- because she's a super Toast with cheese on top! |

Steve-O - Every effective group needs to have that one "wildcard" that they can send out to do something incredibly stupid and risky. Who's better at doing that than Steve-O? Olivia Wilde - Best known as "Thirteen" off of House. The group's token girl. Both smart and gorgeous. Adam Savage - The other host off of Mythbusters (Jamie was already taken). He's like a modern day MacGyver with a mischievous streak. Vinnie Jones - Watch him in any Guy Ritchie movie, especially as "Bullet-Tooth Tony" in Snatch. He's the kind of hard ass that I'd want on my side in a fight. Plus he was the Juggernaut, bitch. |

He never actually killed anyone. He had a premature detonation. |

This, plus... -Dumbledore, he's pritty good at this kind of shit -Stephen Hawkens, partly because he's pritty smart, but mostly because he's in the simpsons all the time. -Bob Geldoth. He's obviously trying to help, even if he is just basically mugging people "Give me your fucking money!" -Master Chief. He wouldn't be part of the thinking, we'd just murder him, solving one of the major problems. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2133 Joined: 28 May 2008  | Damn some of mine have already been mentioned. Dylan Moran - (He seems very popular)I enjoy his surreal yet accurate analogies and anecdotes, he can drink for Britain and he's a generally worldly and wise man. My mate Dean - Always seems to be able to give me a little perspective about things and really does come out with some cracking advice when I really need it. Bruce Lee - Not only to beat the living shit out of people when the time calls but to also tutor me in the art of whoop-ass. Derren Brown - Using his psychological voodoo I can't think of a better person to weasel a way out of a sticky situation. He's also be brilliant for poops n' giggles, getting him to mess with Bruce's head. Lucy Pinder - Have you seen her?! |
Press Junketeer Posts: 400 Joined: 1 Nov 2008  | Brent Corrigan. I'll have to think on the other three. If we're assuming our chosen five have to be alive currently, that doesn't leave me with much to choose from. Currently it's more of a harem than a "brains trust". |

Hayes: For all my anti-meme needs, plus he looks super awesome. Gerald: I have my reasons. Orson Welles: Because his voice is awesome, and he managed to fool about 3 million people with a radio broadcast. Abraham Lincoln: Why the hell not? Jesus: Because every brain trust needs someone who's job it is to get the chips. |

Okay, so here's a question. May belong in Forum Games, but I'm taking a shot here.
If you had to assemble a crack five-person team to help you through life's problems, who would they be and why?
For me, my five-person crew would be thus:
1. Alan Greenspan: Sure, his lassiez-faire cavalier attitude possibly caused the current economic crisis, but he's always got a place in my heart and council, plus I laugh every time I see his face.
2. Snoop Dog: Every person needs to keep things in perspective, and I believe snoop would be an apt candidate for 'keeping it real'. Plus, he brings in the bitches like they were givin' away panties. WHO SAID THAT!? THAT WAS RUDE AND SEXIST!
3. Al Gore: Generally a wise man who people should listen to on a number of issues, and he can help me be carbon neutral in this hectic energy-consuming world.
4. Tina Fey: Probably smarter than Sarah Palin, plus she's Tina Fey. Nuff said.
5. Bono: I know what you're thinking. Why would I want a pompous wanker like Bono to be part of my brains trust? Well, I don't really, but if any of my problems involve putting on a benefit gig, he'd be the guy I want in my corner.
