Considering warm weather is approaching and with vaccinations currently in arms, or on track to be shortly, I started thinking of whom in my circle of friends I'd most want to get together with first. As such, this site has been an oasis for many during the pandemic, so while it would be unlikely, if you could get together to share a beer and conversation in person, which poster(s) would you put at the top of your list, if any?

Fellows in "arms" through sports, politics, or general disposition? Those you may disagree with, but respect? Someone who's crazy as hell and would be a fun time to hang out with regardless of the consequences?

Let's hear them.

I don't know how to tag, but I'd put a few away with Handicapper. He tries his best to be an asshole on here, but I'm sure we'd have a lot more in common than you'd think.

Plus, his fat stacks could buy the beer...

Depending upon the company and my mood, I could do similiar, especially if the company was equally inclined. Then there are those uptight individuals that don't appreciate a "devil's advocate" and get emotional.

I like open minded people that could argue either "side" without bringing in emotion. We can walk away disagreeing, but get together the next weekend to talk more shit.

In my experience, those that can't see/argue both sides tend to become beholden to their own viewpoint and maintain grudges towards anyone that doesn't fall into their own way of thinking. I don't want to be around those people. You're welcome to your own conclusions, but if someone doesn't agree, defend your viewpoint in a logical manner. Doesn't mean anyone will change their minds, but it could be understood. The key is to respect a difference of opinion and logical discourse. Emotion can be detrimental.

There are conversations and then, there are conversations. One of my best drinking buddies and I often get into verbally violent discussions. It ain't about agreeing but about enjoying.

On top of it, he is a Cubs and Bears fan.

Not sure I'd enjoy a violent conversation, but one that challenges the other can be, assuming the other is also so inclined. It does ultimately come to how well you know one another and how far you can push the other while maintaining the friendship.

It's more personality based. We're hyper- competitive when we fish and play rec sports. Golfing with him is an overall great experience but we argue on how many strokes on the first tee. We are smiling walking off the 18th green.

Gotcha. A little give/take or push/shove depends upon the personalities and depth of friendship.

Here I am thinking of a drinking game where you take a shot/drink for every good point the other makes. In that case, whom would have you under the table? Not targeted to Kburjr, but in general to all Hooplans.
