Who would you quarantine with?

[lelliott19]

I'm surprised that more of the ladies haven't mentioned any of these as candidates for quarantine company.

L>R: Micah Jenkins, Isaac Stevens, Richard Taylor, and GWC Lee.

You know, I'll bet somebody could write a great play about this scenario!

Roy B.

I'd pay good money to watch a Samuel Beckett play about this premise.

I’m not sure I’d want to quarantine with anyone from before not randomly spitting everywhere was a societal norm. Apparently that was the only thing we learned from the last pandemic. Thank goodness though, god that is just so gross! If you were lucky, it’d just be tobacco!

Maybe Lincoln? Dr. Kirtland? Only then I’d want them to be in charge of the response not wasting time hanging around with me.

If anything going back in time to avoid all this would be what I’d do were it not for the likelihood of bringing the plague with me.

You know, Mark Twain perhaps... he seems like a pretty cool guy to hang out with and he could be a writing partner during the whole thing. Great social critic and comedian too... imagine him doing a late night show. He’d be awesome!

I thought about Lincoln for a while.

But then I got the sneaking impression the more I would have talked with him, the less I would actually know about him.

Scarlett O'Hara. I like 'em feisty!

She's easy on the eyes.

The trouble with a major figure is you'll deprive the side (s)he's on from his/her services. I'll take Samuel Clemens. He'll keep me roaring with laughter and was smart enough to recognize there is no glory in war.

How about Ambrose Bierce? I noticed no one wants to be locked up with Bragg! Even in a group!

 

[Buckeye Bill]

Federal Major General Benjamin Franklin Butler

I received a Personal Message last night asking, "Why in the world would you pick Benjamin F. Butler?"

My response : (2 Reasons)

#1 - "Both of us are spoon collectors and we could trade with each other."

#2 - "I know for sure once the quarantine was over, I would exit the better looking man."

Butler was a rascal.....

I remember the comment from Bragg's CO, "My God Bragg, you've managed to quarrel with yourself." No to Bragg. Only one of us would walk out alive.

Robert Lewis Dabney for two reasons. One to find out what Jackson was like close up and if he had any insight into what made him tick. Second to attempt to convince him that Slavery was not a good position to take for a Christian Pastor.

 

[Michael W.]

Farragut. I would love to talk to him about his entire life span in the Navy.

Scarlett O'Hara. I like 'em feisty!

Scarlett was my immediate first thought as well !



But as a quarantine may last a while, Melanie Hamilton Wilkes is the better long term choice.

IMHO.

Interesting and very good choice. Dabney was a fascinating person and theologian. But, of course, as to your second reason, his response would be that being a pastor had nothing to do with it.

I’d like to meet Mosby!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ambrose Bierce (see my signature ), but by all accounts he was not exactly easy to deal with. Maybe it would work out if he was quarantined in the room next to you, so you get to be amused by his hateful wit, but you're not literally caged in with him.

His asthma would also make him high risk. Maybe we could wheeze together.

Well played, sir.

As I read this comment, all I can see in my head is, Billy Bob sayin, "Take a lap....and take Wheezy with you.." ~Mr Woodcock.
