Name a famous person who would be a good Lounge Lizard

[JitterbugPerfume]

living or dead

I think Douglas Adams would have been , because he definitely marched to the beat of a different Drummer

Kurt Vonnegut too!

[geardaddy]

1. Senator Franken

[jobycom]

2. John Kennedy Toole.

yeah, I'm obsessed lately. It'll pass.

[JitterbugPerfume]

9. and Ignatius!

[jobycom]

16. Loyola? He doesn't seem very Lounge-ish. nt

[KamaAina]

18. Not Loyola, J. Reilly.

Toole's protagonist in A Confederacy of Dunces.

I can just see him now: "The perfidious Midlo almost broiled another box of wine!" (Ignatius lived with his mom who, in those days before Peter Vella, hid her bottles of cheap muscatel in the oven; one day, Ignatius discovered this just in the nick of time!)

edit: spelling

[jobycom]

20. Sorry. I thought Ignatius J Reilly was fictional.

:P Now I must buy a pair of Bermuda shorts from Levy Shorts.

[KamaAina]

23. So you're saying that most Lounge lizards *aren't* fictional?

Is that what you're saying?!

(It's Levy Pants, not Shorts. Hopefully the Crusade for Moorish Dignity will not impact production so you can get some.)

[jobycom]

26. Hmm. That's an difficult question.

And it's no longer Levy Pants because Mr. Levy hated the name and the product.

[JitterbugPerfume]

27. Real? What is this reality you speak of?

:evilgrin:

[jobycom]

30. I stand corrected! Ignatius J Reilly is welcome. Anyway, I think he's already herre.

[Aristus]

3. Will Rogers.

Funny and a Dem.

4. Robert Mitchum

Smoked pot, went out of his way to always disobey directors, and always gave the big one fingered salute to authority.

Defiantly lounge material.
