Top 5 Celebrities I’d want to hang out with.

Raptor here. Short list today. I've got a headache and then another morning of grand jury indictments to look forward to.

Let’s start out by differentiating hang out with or being a member of there entourage. This is a list of celebrities I think would probably be awesome to hang out with and grab a beer. If I feel that they would have to be the center of a large group, or I’d play just a member of a much larger posse they are disqualified. Example: While I think hanging out with George Clooney would be awesome, it would probably turn into a 3 week long European adventure, we’d probably have to bring Matt Damon and Casey Affleck along, the aforementioned group would probably refer to me as Turtle the entire week, and George would probably steal whatever girl I was hitting on at the bar purely because he can. None of this I am particularly adverse to, it just disqualifies him from this particular list.

I eliminated Klosterman, because he's probably not famous enough.

Also, I’ve avoided female celebrities, because, while I’d like to hang out with Kelly Clarkson, I’d also like to avoid getting in the friend zone with her.

5. Sean Ono Lennon

This is the most arbitrary choice of the group. I want to hang out with him because he's the celebrity who i get confused for the most. Less now that he's grown the ridiculous beard, but still. I want to know what all those Japanese tourists see in that guy.

4. Steve Nash-

I know. I know. Wanting to toast Molson's with a dirty canuck is probably a sin. But I appreciate an NBA baller who can go to Central Park and play some footy in the summer time like it's no big deal. Who wouldn't like to roll up to pick up games with your bud Stevie Nash?

3. Lou Diamond Phillips-

Yes, I’d like to hang out with the man who has played almost as many ethnicities as Christopher Lambert. He seems approachably cool. I’d really like to take him to the poker tables of Vegas. I have a theory his bluff poker face would literally shame opponents into folding. Or cause there heads to explode. Either way I’d want to watch.

2. Zach Braff-

Granted I probably just want to hang out with JD from scrubs but he's on the list. He's got impeccable taste in music, isn't so attractive that he'd automatically steal your woman, and from what I gather from watching and reading interviews, he probably wouldn't shove his celebrity down your throat.

1.Trey Parker-

Seems like the very definition of someone you’d like to shoot the shit with. If you hung out and shot pool with Trey Parker, I imagine to be a laid back event. He'd crack wise where appropriate. I doubt conversation would be forced. I can hear the sideshow freaks from Freaks chanting now... Gooble Gobble.Gooble Gobble, One of us, One of Us...
