​So there were nearly twice as many entries in this weekend’s TR contest as the week before. I would have assumed that more nerds had gotten angry than could imagine a drinking buddy, but I underestimated the power of booze and the chance to talk to our icons, alive, dead or fictional. I’m particularly gratified by everyone who sucked up said they’d like to have a drink with me. Here’s hoping you guys can make SDCC this year, because I’ll be doing another TR meet-up, and we can all have that drink then. Now,I’m going to talk about how awesome all the entries were in a minute, but for now, enjoy some of the shorter, more quotable entries that made me chuckle:

SpiderHyphenMan said:

Robert Downey Jr., in full Iron Man gear.

Boyle said:

Once again, those of us who would like to deep throat Joss Whedon are headed off at the pass by unreasonable restrictions.
Oh, the humanity.

Not sure if this is substantially nerdy, but Hunter S. Thompson would be the greatest. He’d bring booze, guns and drugs. Dangerous, yes. Can you trust him, no. Would you wake up with a Z carved into you’re forehead, possibly. Would the house be destroyed, obviously. Is he dead yes. Holy shit I just realized I am describing Zombie Hunter S Thompson. excuse me while I trademark that horrifying image.

I would want to be stranded with William Shatner. He’s banged tons of chicks and I’m sure he has some great stories, so that when my penis finally gets working again I can jerk off all day; however the icing on the cake would be that wherever we were stuck for the weekend I know he would have gotten a great deal from Priceline.com.
Priceline Negotiator!

Bill Nye the Science Guy (Secretly I’m just hoping he lets me wear his lab coat)

Joey said:

without doubt Alan Moore. in addition to conversing about the pros and cons of anarchy, i could glean valuable insight in the arts of beard maintenance and ingenious story-telling at the same time.

Wade vs The World:

I would pay anything to have shots with Brian Blessed just so we could raise our shot glasses high and toast…..HAWKMEN! DIIIIIIVE!

Farmboy said:

I’d tie one on with Lois Lane. We can hash out all her Clark/Superman issues over Bloody Mary’s…with celery. SUSPICIOUSLY. MOIST. CELERY.

Screampants said:

Peter Cullen. Because I really want to hear what Optimus Prime sounds like when he’s totally plastered.

Although an unlikely choice for most nerds, I would totally choose Kryten. Let me explain: I’m not much of a drinker. I’m not much of a housekeeper, either. If Kryten was snow-bound in my home for several days, he would clean EVERYTHING… and find it all very satisfying. Laundry would be folded, sock drawers would be organised, dishes would be washed, windows would sparkle and toilet bowls would shine! Even better, when he was all done, he would probably love to kick back with a pair of knitting needles or be thrilled to do some scrapbooking. All I would need to do is make sure he felt appreciated.
As an unexpected bonus, per the contest rules, Kryten doesn’t even HAVE genitalia.

Even though they were already mentioned, im going to have to go with the MST3K crew. Just so i can finally have my dream of getting drunk and making Mystery Porn Theater 3000. Im not saying just any type of porn though, i mean porn thats more like a horror/mystery porn. We’ll probably just end up yelling, “Dont go in there!!!” a bunch of times.

JazzyChazzy:

It would have to Milo Ventimiglia… Ventimigla… W/E.
SO I CAN SPEND ALL NIGHT PUNCHING HIS DOUCHEY FACE IN.
And then spend a couple of hours thinking up “Your face is so douchey” jokes, and then I’d break for tea, and then continue to pummel and mock his face.
DEAR LORD I HATE THAT MAN’S FACE.

Winners after the jump.
