I'd love to sit around a campfire with Roosevelt and Churchill.
After more than a few beers Chris Rock, Eddy Murphy, Bill Murray, and Chevy Chase
If you could hangout at a campfire with anyone alive or dead, heck share a few bottles if you want.
I'd like to meet Hemiunu who is believed to be the designer of the Great Pyramid, was a member of the royal court and was so important his tomb lies close to Khufu's pyramid. The downside is no one knows for certain he was the designer. Can you imagine getting your one chance to meet someone like this, then you find out he had nothing to do with it? Probably still have some killer stories though.
Others:
-Agent 355
-Violet Jessop
-Alexander the Great
-Butch Cassidy
-*Kate Beckinsale.
*She once told a story she likes to draw dicks (a la Superbad?) and once accidentally drew one on a piece of homework her darughter turned in. "When pressed, her daughter Lily had to explain to her teacher that her MOTHER DREW DICKS on her homework". 
I am going to have to ponder this one for a while because the first name that pops into my head is Frank Serratore.

Yeah I only came up with Paul Rudd. Clearly have to elevate my mind a bit and come back.

No order:
Honest Abe, just to pick his mind on how he went about the Civil War and such.
Stalin, and how he thought his ways would work.
Bill Belichick, to see how he analyzes the NFL's rules, and exploits loopholes
Beethoven. How the hell he composed that music with hearing troubles? (he was considered deaf much later in life)
Danny Trejo, just to shoot the sh* with him. Obviously, can't have a beer with him, but worth it.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
What are some song lyrics you got wrong either for a short bit or for a very, very long time? For me the worst example that today makes me feel like a dummy:
I'll catch some rays down in Africa...
I mean come on, it's Africa. Plenty of sun amiright?
Whenever I listen to "Higher Ground" by RHCP I have to envision the Stevie Wonder version in my head to remember the chorus.
My claim to fame is I can nail about 95% of REM.s "It's the End Of The World..." if I've heard it fairly recently.
I wanna piece of David, instead of I Wanna Be Sedated by the Ramones. I never misheard it, but someone else did, and now I cannot NOT hear it.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
I'm sure mine is a common one. "Blinded By The Light... wrapped up like a douche...". I've Googled the actual lyrics, and I still sounds like "wrapped up like a douche" to me.
Also, not a song, but I was an adult before I discovered that Rush's lead singer was a dude. I always assumed it was a woman.
There's also the one mentioned in "Friends:"
Hold me closer, Tony Danza...(instead of "hold me closer, tiny dancer")

I have always really disliked Manfred Mann's cover of Blinded By The Light.

My favorite for a few years now is Alicia Keys' line in Empire State of Mind. "New Yooooooooooork, concrete jungle wet dream tomato."

Ditto on both accounts!

Rush is great until Geddy Lee starts to sing. Then I just want him to shut up so I can listen to the music.

When I was young I thought Do the Hustle was Do the Hotdog. :conf2:
Dorothy: Who’s that?
Scarecrow: A man with an axe and a can of lube. I’ll ask if he wants to join us.
The term for a misheard lyric or lyrics is a ‘mondegreen’.
A friend of mine thought ‘Our lips are sealed’ by the Go Gos was ‘ I love Cecille’.

In my youth I thought that lyric was “Do the Honeycomb” ?

I was one of the MC's for our Jr. High talent show when I was in 8th grade. I told this joke:
"Why can't the Go-Gos have babies?"
"Because their lips are sealed".
My one and only suspension.

I thought the lyrics were "Our tits are steel." Not because it sounds like they are saying that, but because my father always sang that just loud enough that I couldn't hear the actual lyrics.
When I was a kid, Lucille by Kenny Rogers was, “You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel, with 400 children and a crop in the field”. I just assumed it was a farming song when the guy lost a tractor wheel during harvest.
Also, this is a pretty good one:

Who are some of your favorite non-superstar athletes in any sport, past or present. More of a role player type.
Two on my list are both former Gopher Hockey players...Greg Zwakman (obviously) and Mike Howe (especially his freshman year). To bad his career got slowed by rheumatoid arthritis.

Randy Bush is a great one!
Valeri Zelepukin of the 1995 NJ Devils. For NHLers, mostly goons and goalies. Some were household names, some were not.
Don Beebe from the NFL (you may know that his son is in/out with the Vikings, depending on the day).
Tony Lucia for the Gophers. Never had the numbers, but he was a sparkplug for the stars of the team.

Churla would win a puck battle in a corner.

To me the telling point is how do teammates feel about an individual. The tape doesn't lie. Duck a check, block, taking a charge, sliding base running takeout, etc & it is right there in the video session.
Now a star can pick and choose, muckers always do the "right thing", or end up being ushers, as the old saying goes.
