I have a rocketship. I have set the controls for the heart of the sun. (Natch.) You each have five tickets for this express trip to oblivion. Who do you give them to?

I'm gonna keep them all to myself. It's too bad I won't be able to make the trip five times.

I expressed myself poorly. Let me rephrase: the rocket is set for a one-way trip into the core of the sun. The autopilot is locked and will self-destruct if tampered with. Ain't nobody coming home from this flight.

Now, if you really want to, you can take the trip yourself. Or, you can distribute them to anyone you feel deserves them.

"Them" being the tickets.

I used to be able to speak this language. What the hell happened?

Renee Zellweger and Cameron Diaz - just off the top of my head. I'll think about the other three.

Michael Bay, Nancy Grace, any member of the Westboro Baptist Church, a random talking head from Fox news, and a psychic.

All five for Bill O'Reilly, of course.

Kim Jong Il, Robert Mugabe, Dick Cheney, Osama B.L., and that little SHIT-HEAD in the Nissan Maxima at the intersection of N. Peachtree and Shallowford this afternoon.

Ok, I listened to "set the controls to the heart of the sun" ten years ago on acid. I sort of came back.

I'm going with Jesus, cuz if anyone could survive and bring me with him, it's The Jeez.

Seconding Dick Cheney. Also Fred Phelps. Mrs. chewie's boss and one of his partners. That Imus guy.

I'd give 4 tickets (just to make sure it works) to a particular doctor who dropped the ball and decimated two lives.

I'd use one for myself as long as I could go on the same ship w/ said doctor.

George Bush and Dick Cheney for sure. Then Nancy Pelosi would be president, which would be AWESOME.

I knew what you meant, bmarkey. My answer stands.

If you send Dick Cheney to the heart of the sun, he will suck up all the sun's energy with his darkness, and we will all be obliterated. He is not just the Prince of Darkness, he IS darkness itself.
