putting people in jars

JL doesn't like to be put in a box. Neither do I, for that matter, but I saw this great Gary Larson cartoon in which a big bug was showing another bug the humans he had caught and put in jars. Collector bug was advocating placing two together and shaking them up to see if they would fight. THIS IS AWFUL...

...but also funny and something I've always wanted to do. Here, for all the world to see, is a list of folks I would love to be put into a jar with. Or at least people combinations that I would like to shake together in a big glass jar. Not to see if they would fight, but just because anything might happen:

Jar #1: Hope Davis, Brian Fikkert, OPEC, Daphne Haddad, Ben Borger and Alan Greenspan

Jar #2: Bjork, Natalie Lodico, David Letterman, Smita Donthamsetty, Robin Williams, Christina Jones, Gene Wilder and Eddie Murphey

Jar #3: Jonathan Krueger, Jerry Falwell, Tim Keller, Tori Amos, Pope John Paul II, Katie Mesh, Evan Donovan and Amy Deringer

...did you like the commas in a series? Notice they don't have a comma before AND. G'night.

I'm afraid I would end up strangling Jerry Falwell and Tori Amos. Or strangling Jerry Falwell with Tori Amos, which would be more fun.
Who's Tim Keller?

Um, he's bald and plants churches in New York. Sorry for the confusion, in case anybody thought he was a folk singer. And also sorry for anyone who mistook OPEC for OPC, as I did just now! I really did mean to include the E. As in the cartel.

Althought OPC might be construed as a sort of cartel... nah.

Cool. I can dig it.

Wow, Bob. This is yet another one of the reasons that we love you. I can't decide which jar I think would be most hilarious to watch.
