Rent a Celebrity!
So people spend huge amounts of money to have a "celebrity" come to their party.
It got me to thinking, though...what "celebrity" would I want to come to my house?
Michael C. Ruppert came to mind. I'd love to have an indepth conversation with him about the ills that have beset our country and how we can help each other through the difficult times ahead.
Also, Patrice Lewis, SciFiChick, Phelan, James Dakin and, generally, most of the bloggers I follow!
Now, I know most of them don't consider themselves "celebrities", but to me they are! They inspire me, make me think, give me ideas, entertain me and I consider them friends, even though I have never met them in person.
Ruppert is probably the only real celebrity type celebrity on my list!
I would love to sit down with any of these folks just to talk, wander out to show them my goats and other critters. Maybe bake some bread with them, or show them my new cheese making stuff.
What "celebrity" would you like to invite into your home? (I swear, if any of you mention Kim Kardashian, I will email you a smack on the head!)
Wow, if I had the money I'd rent Reba for Hubby's next birthday just because he's been drooling over her for as long as I've known him.
ReplyDeleteFor me, Stephen King, just to hear him talk about his writing.
Stephen King would be great! Reba...not so much...YECCCCH!
DeleteLamb - i just saw a comment that you left on MDR's blog about armchair preppers! so i followed the link to your post and left a comment there. i was basically floored that you had us listed in your blogroll - thank you so much for that! i have also added you to our blogroll and look very much forward to catching up on all of your old posts!
ReplyDeleteanyway - rent a celebrity? who knew? i would gladly take $15,000 that could be spent on setting up solar/wind power and use it to rent Ms. Kardashian - bahahahahah!
but really...hmmm....who would i want to rent? probably Arabella Burton Buckley (i figure she would only cost about $1,000), Rasputin (he's probably gonna be closer to $4,500) and last but not least - Dr. Seuss (he's gotta be at about $9,500)!!!! so there's my $15,000 spent. i mean, really - who needs to go off grid when you can rent celebrities?!?!?!?!?

Kymber, I have been following your adventures at Framboise Manor for some time! Wish I lived up there! We plan on moving next year to Vermont, maybe Maine (looking at land via internet currently)and restarting our homestead there. We are in the desert now...and if I can raise critters & crops in THIS environment, I think I'll do okay up there!
DeleteAs for your celebrity rentals...dunno if I would want to rent Rasputin! Not the most pleasant man to be around, if the history books are correct. I used to live in Charlottesville, Va...Dr Seuss based "Whoville" on Charlottesville! Arabella for $1,000? I think she'd be worth more.
what about Kloe? LOL! I'd rather not have any of those "K" girls.
ReplyDeleteNow about Tom Selleck....... :) I'd muck out a stall with him any ole time!
I would love to meet Steven's "Lil' Bit" :) she is just too precious!
I once met Ruth Buzzi; that was a trip. And Rue MacCallahand (Blanche from "Golden Girls", not sure if I spelled her name right), very nice and humble lady!
Sean Penn once came into the grocery store where I worked, I was not impressed. He had like ten people with him and they spoke for him. weird.
Gosh, I just can't think of anyone I would rent, even for a dollar... I guess I'm just too much of a loner. lol!
Lamb - Vermont and Maine are just gorgeous places!!! and not a lot of people if you go to the right places! and yes - if you can grow and raise animals in the desert, you can certainly do it in Maine and Vermont - i have been through both states and love them! and love the people!
ReplyDeleteas for my rentals - i think Rasputin would be a hoot! do you know how many times they tried to kill him in one night? and i knew where Dr. Seuss was from, lucky you to be from the same place - i love the great Doctor! i have almost all of his books - my favourite author and none can compare - not even T.S. Eliot and i looove Eliot!!! i am glad that you think Arabella would be worth more - i do, too. it's just that in today's society, she probably really only could charge $1,000 per event.
loving your blog - and so glad that i found it! your friend,
kymber
There's so many! Probably Ayn Rand. Maybe even *gulp* Alex Jones. :) New to your blog and absolutely loving it!
ReplyDeleteWell, personally I wouldn't spend a dime to rent anyone, as I'm too darned cheap! But, if I could have somebody over, I'm thinking I'm with Kellie and would want Tom Selleck. I have, however, met a celebrity just last year; Svengoolie (Rich Koz)! But unless you're from the Chicago area many don't even know who he is. Oh well, at least I got a signed rubber chicken from him! :)
ReplyDeleteK.K. gets $125,000.00 per event. Over priced for sure.
ReplyDeleteLamb,
ReplyDeleteMaine and Vermont are beautiful areas to live. Rent a celebrity, hmmm....
I would love to have a sit down,have coffee/tea and chat with James Wesley Rawles @ Survival Blog, Enola Gay @ Pratus Familia, Patrice Lewis@ Rural Revolution, Glo @ Off The Grid at -30, Amy @ The Prairie Wife and SciFiChick @ Bacon and Eggs.
Movie/TV Star, Probably Sean Connery.
Sean Connery...Oh goodness! I didn't think of him! Great choice!
DeleteI'd love to meet up with Enola Gay Glo, SciFi and Amy, too, and so many more of the bloggers I follow!
Rawles...not so much. Maybe Matthew Bracken and/or Cody Lunden (I may have misspelled Cody's last name there...he is a desert survival expert.)
We watch him and have him as a FB friend. Have you ever read any of his books 98.6 The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive or When All Hell Breaks Loose?
DeleteI have both those books! Gotta see if he'll be my fb friend, too!
DeleteI am utterly crushed I was not even considered for your list of people to invite. It is just as well, Dakin and I don't get along that well.
ReplyDeletejust kidding! Take care during the storms.
The One and Only Mohave Rat
Hey, I did say "MOST" of the blogs I follow! And I would love to have you visit! (There are actually only a couple I wouldn't want here...I follow a couple of liberal type bloggers just to see what liberals are up to, lol!)
DeleteDang, I'm always late to the party! If I were to be able to, I think that I (like you) would just love to meet my blogging buddies. I'd love to sit at your kitchen table and have you show me how to cook up a big Greek meal!! Well, I wouldn't exactly "sit" while you did all the work... but you know what I mean!
