Who you'd like to smoke with

[Lascaux]

a mayan priest,
the mayans being amongst the first people ever to smoke cigars so i'm told

Ok, I'm looking at it on my phone, so maybe not the best picture, but, for the ignorant among us "who him?"

Mike Portnoy...quite possibly the best, if not one of the best, drummers in the world. Long term member of Dream Theater, and currently in the studio and on tour with Avenged Sevenfold following the death of their drummer Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan.

I've no idea if he's a smoker...I can imagine it though! There's so much I want to ask this guy, so much I want to talk to him about. And besides all that...the guy is legendary.
(No idea why the vid is up twice...the code isn't even appearing in the edit screen...if a kind mod can nuke one of them it would be much appreciated)

[Cigar-aficionado]

Billy Connolly and John Travolta would be great to smoke with

Fictional characters? In that case Dr Hannibal Lecter (of course I would have to be on the other side of the glass!), Robert Langdon, and Gordon Gekko.

But I would like to also add Lucian Freud.

Talking about philosophers and drinking....

THE PHILOSOPHERS SONG


Immanuel Kant was a real pissant,
Who was very rarely stable,
Heidegger,Heidegger,was a boozy begger,
Who could drink you under the table,
David Hume could out-consume,
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a boozy swine,
Who was just as sloshed as Schlegel,
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach yer 'bout the raising of the wrist,
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill of his own free will,
On half a bottle o' shandy was particularly ill,
Plato they say,could stick it away,
Half a crate o' whisky every day,
Aristotle,Aristotle,was a bugger for the bottle,
Awfully fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart,
"I drink therefore I am",
Yes,Socrates himself is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed.

You can never go wrong with Monty Python. Speaking of which, I'd love to have a smoke with any of them, though all of them at once would be ridiculous in a good way.
