Sean Penn is going to Baghdad: below, name actors and places you'd like to send them, and state why

[muir_redwoods]

There's an active thread about a manned mission to Mars. Maybe Sean would like to go there, with Alec and Babs and Hilary and Teddy and Bubba and....

[Liz]

Sounds good to me. It'll take mega-light years to get there, then there's the layover to wait for a ride back.

[IM4TRUTH]

We join our hero in a secret underground bunker, somewhere near Baghdad....

Sean Penn: Good evening, President Saddam. I am Sean Penn from Hollywood in the United States and I'm pleased that you would see me. (Sean offers a handhshake)

Saddam: Spiccoli! Fast Times! Heyyyy, yeah! Hah! hah! (Saddam slaps Penn on the back and hugs him, a long, sweaty Arabic hug)

Penn: Well... yeah, but...

Saddam: 'Dude, I am sooooooo wasted!' Hah! Hah! Come. I want you to be for eating dinner with me tonight!" (Saddam motions to an aide in the wings) You! Get me chicken wings and cous cous. And get weed! Tonight we get 'wasted,' eh Spiccoli? Hah! hah!

Penn: You don't understand Mr. President. That's just a character in a movie I, I ... I'm an actor AND an activist, sir. I'm here to ..."

Saddam: Barbra Streisand send you, no? She always pester me with e-mail. I got her blocked as spammer.... (He pauses in thought) Hmmm... Streisand... you think Jew?

Penn: No, no... I'm here to apply pressure to the Administration by bringing attention to the senseless drumbeat of war ...

Saddam: She must be stinking Jew. Big nose. ... Hey! You marry Maddonna! Hah hah! What you thinking?!? Hah hah!

Penn: Yeah.... See, we don’t want to see innocent Iraqis die due to American aggression and we think if you’ll just hear our suggestions, we may be able to help you avert this coming war.

Saddam: Avert?!? Why avert?!? I need this war to prove American dogs imperialist puppets for Zionist master. So... How is Madonna... you know, boom boom? Rodman say she like fish. (Saddam places one hairy arm around Penn and they begin to walk away)

Penn: But if there's war, people will die! Innocent...

Saddam: Ehhh. What ever. I got more people. (He stops and turns to Penn) Hey! You bring surfboard?!? Ya! I have palace on Tigris! We go now! ... You! Chicken wings!

I would like to send all of the usual suspects on a mission to the sun. The moon will be an interesting tourist spot in a couple of decades, so I don't want to send them there unless it's without a space suit.

[freekitty]

That about says it.

[Liz]

Course MJ will have to bring along his 101 platic surgeons. Or is it 102?

[Liz]

Good one. Maybe send her to the Afghanistan battle zone in a burqua.

[Liz]

Yes, yes, yes. Those two are the most annoying.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

And considered as actors only.

[Defender2]

To the ALL the Actors in NUTTYWOOD(Hollywood): Please Go Straight To H*LL!!!!

Happygal wants to send Renée Fleming to anywhere where she will be forced to acquire a large backside. I suppose were this desire to be into song (to the tune of "We Wish You A Merry Christmas"):

I wish you the big-a booty
I wish you the big-a booty
I wish you the big-a booty
And lots of extra pounds

Ice cream will I bring
With lots of hot fudge
I wish you the big-a booty
Now add extra pudge

My fault really - prior to the lovely Happygal entering my life, I was smitten with Renée. I suppose Happygal means Australia - I understand cholesterol is the national dish there. ;)

Regards, Ivan

[Liz]

Your sentiments are shared by many.

[Liz]

....put another cholesterol-laden shrimp on the barbie....

[GWfan]

Sorry Ivan, Sheila Jackson Lee from outer space already holds that position.

Well just because she thinks she's on Mars, doesn't actually mean she's there. ;)

Would I say that? < evil grin >

[MadIvan]

Would I say that?

You did, you did! ;)

Love, Ivan

[Happygal]

You did, you did! ;)

I seem to have developed selective memory loss. Or it could be that I'm blonde again! *LOL*
