Default If you could spend an hour with someone, dead or alive. someone who could not lie...

On Sat, 25 Jul 2009 22:22:49 GMT, the infamous "Lee"
scrawled the following:

Who would you spend that hour with. (Certainly not my English
teacher.)

Skip the obvious, like Jesus, OJ, Hitler (not in that order.....)

The late Sam Mallof


Or Malloof


Do you mean "Sam Maloof", Lee? I spent an hour with him in a
furniture gallery/museum in Oceanside, CA about 8 years ago. He was a
cool olde farte. I stumped him when I asked what specific joinery
technique he used in his rocker arm/back. g I regret not getting a
signed book, but the old pocketbook couldn't afford an extra Grant at
the time. I'd love to have taken a chairbuilding class with him.
( this book http://fwd4.me/1UO )


I'd spend time with Winston Churchill, Thomas Jefferson, or James
Madison. They'd have firsthand knowledge on how to deal with the
increasingly hostile, idiotic, socialist/authoritarian/Islamic? gov't
we're experiencing right now.

P.S: How's your ammo stock? We may need to hunt for food, etc. some
day soon.
