I damn near spewed my coke at the Shatner remark, dont do that!!! LMAO
Anyhow, he'll only sleep with green chicks, not grey ones

I'd want Bill Murray to be the Earth's ambassador to our friends in the sky.

I'm dead serious. I would have picked Geroge Carlin, but, he has passed.

I cannot for the life of me imagine why anyone would want to be THAT bored.

The magnitude of boredom that implies truly boggles the mind.

And you say this is galactic sized boredom. Surely in the whole wide universe there is something more interesting than that.

I'd pick one of the people I work with. That way, if they wanted us for food, they could bit my co-worker's heads off. As much as I hate them, that would be very entertaining.

I would choose four people.
A father, mother, daughter, and son.

They would need to be people that are not obsessed with religion, politics, work, etc. Just a good family living life for each other.

What better face could the human race put forward than a loving, caring family.

Most likely the Dalai Lama. His position as a "enlightened man", combined with the fact he can probably look at the rest of the world completely objectively, would make make him a perfect choice in communicating the best parts about Humanity with an alien race.

1. Nelson Mandela
2. Bob Geldoff and Bono
3. Hawkins (providing they had wheelchair access and a sense of humour and the patience to wait for his one finger typing)


Never....know it all theorist Kaku, who would be able to resist telling them things instead of listening to them. Ive invented fusion....

For me its got to be a journo cos it needs to be on TV so we can all see it, they need to ask the right questions and establish pretty quickly if we are all doomed, who was the one who interviewed Michael Jackson, that went well didnt it......

I agree, pick me.

I would say that it would have to be a council.

A representative from each of the 6 populated continents who are taken from among the people (farmers, construction workers, and similar) and also representatives from the major religions (The Pope, Lama, a Rabbai, and a Imam), and lastly a single representative from the UN being a random pick by all of the nations being put into a hat and a choice being pulled out.

Hopefully this group would show how diverse we are as a civilization, how much we have developed, and how much we would desire help from them to become a stronger people. I specifically leave scientists out because they will ask the annoying and cliche questions (how does your spaceship work? Can we have ____ technology?). Polichickens and military persons would be concerned with weapons or making grandiose speeches. By having more "Down to Earth" people we have a group that will be friendly, and not ask annoying questions, but make them feel at home (you know, let's go hit the local bar types). Religious leaders, to me, would be important to have because this event would be a major social earthquake, and religious leaders could and should come together and discuss what they can say to their followers and also tell the ET's about what we believe and how similar the stories are.

I include a randomized UN representative because it just needs to happen. You can't have contact on this level and not leave the door open for them to make negotiations right at the start. I also dismiss the idea of a pre-set person because if I were ET, I would feel like I was dealing with someone who was coached. I would want to deal with someone whom I would get honest reactions from. Also by randomizing it, it places a responsibility on all nations to be ready and also makes equal opportunity to have the honor of First Contact.

I don't think this was mentioned but I would also choose a neutral venue for the event. Switzerland is a possibility as is the United Nation's grounds in New York. My personal preference would be more towards having the meeting at the International Space Station which would also give a demonstration of our technology to the ET. It would also be a "We'll meet you half-way" gesture which I feel would be positively received.

This guy...


Or...

Me.

And here is your winner. My answer would be Tom Cruise.
But only if the Alien pretended to be Xenu, and everyone would be in on it except Tom Cruise. A couple minutes into his speach as Xenu, Tom would probably be so happy he'd be jumping up and down yelling "i told you so!"
But then the alien and the rest of the world start pointing at Tom and laughing at him like crazy, Ashton Kutcher would them come in, punch Tom in the face, and tell him he got punked.

I think Gary Busey should be the one to make first contact. He is a man of great knowledge and philosophy. He would woo the aliens with his oratory skills sending them into a state of frenzy and if the aliens were malevolent he could bite their heads off.

Definitely Richard Simmons!



If that don't scare em away, nothing will!

"Get us out of here.... Warp 10!!"

IRM

I thought long and hard about this one and it would have to be 'Zed' from the Police Academy movies.... Or me.

or David Letterman, his top 10 list of 'what aliens can do with a spork' would be hillarious.

I do not think it will be the grays. I think it will be those ET's that look more like us.
I would like a group of people that have already had contact with them through channelling, like Mike Quinsey and Blossom Goodchild, and David Wilcock. They have been sharing the messages with us for a long time (though many people have ignored them and call it all b***s**t), I think they deserve to be the first ones to greet them

For the lulz.

Now that would be hilarious.

I would probably want them to meet with a cross section of the world. The UNSC is probably the best choice for this. But then again, that bring in the politicians and that wont end well...

Anyway, the discussion is pointless, in my opinion, First Contact was made a long time ago.

erm..i don't see the need to reassure us that it was your pure intention that is good for fighting techniques hehehehe unless you need to reassure that to yourself
j/k

Short knee-jerk answer Dali Lama

Long Answer.

We find some other off world alien. Parade him around in well scripted events, to show off the best and brightest of humanity. Then shove him out there, and hope and maybe even pray they don't find out what we are really like.

This is an easy question to answer.

ME.
