Who would you trade lives with?

Sinfonia

Entirely. Like you would become them fully, and they you.
Except with your current consciousness. So a mind transplant I guess..?

I'd switch with Jon Brion or Josh Homme no problem.
Brion because he's basically got my dream career, he's awesome at it, and he's worked on incredible projects and with incredible people.
Homme because he's got my runner-up dream career and he's an all-round cool-as-shit badass mofo.

I haven't decided if this switch means being a person *now* (i.e. possibly missing out on the experience of living their best years) or if you can also time travel.
So I'll leave it open to interpretation: dead people, the lot.

I guess I'd throw in Bowie if I can time travel to 1969.

I'd have to have loved to work on the Original Star Wars Trilogy back in the 70's or 80's, hell as a kid I thought it would be amazing to work in the industry at that time in California. Working on any long running series must be incredibly fun , but long, and the bonds you see on some shows between the main cast and crew go on years after they have ended (The Next Generation)

So sign me up to be George Lucas, Mark Hamill or Harrison Ford anyday.

I don't know either of those people!!

I would swap with the guy down the road. He's always smiling no matter what he does. A happy happy chap. He's also the village idiot but he is trusted and treated very well by everyone.
He lives on his own in the family cottage which was left to him and he keeps it spotless. He was also left a few bob too. Doesnt drink but frequents the pub for a Rock Shandy. Always has the time of day for you and would honestly put himself out in order to help you. He does jobs for the elderly without looking for payment (but will never refuse a meal) and he's always on volunteer groups for beach cleans, fairs etc.
He genuinely is the happiest carefree person I know.

It could all be for show.....like Jimmy Saville.

A very rich person

El Guapo!

Dan Bilzerian

newbie13

someone whose GF beautiful and fit..

Teyla Emmagan

Nobody. That would be an utter betrayal of the people who love me! And I wouldn't want to be without them.

No idea who the guys referenced in the OP are but the village idiot person seems to be a very happy person.

I knew someone would say him! Do you just want the chance to throw strippers off the roof?

I think I'd be JFK, just for the good bits, oh, and having that bit of power.

Wow we have a fella like that round here too.

Never thought about but you're right he's as happy as the $hit in a $hit sandwich.

Barely There

I would swap with Shakira and then spend all day in my room playing with my boobs

Alf. A. Male

I'd take over Seymour Skinner's life and teach elementary school.

AnonoBoy

When I read the thread title i thought this was going to be a more "He's just a boy! Take me instead!" type of thread.

stefan idiot jones

OJ. So I could get away with murder.

The Davestator

Jeremy Clarkson. Spend 50% of my time travelling around the world driving the best cars and the other 50% of my time p**sing off the 'offended brigade'

Yes ,but have you seen his withered face lately ? Having his vast amount of money though might help you put up with that ,and having to sleep with his rather plain wife .:D

Plus a few other wives. (Allegedly)

Rocco from around 1990 would be great.

Although, even from now would be cool, as couple of months back seen his latest DVD and in it he was on the most beautiful grounds, with the greenest grass you've ever seen, mansion in the background and he was flying the coolest damn radio controlled helicopter, which must have been the size of your average coffee table and then suddenly two of the hottest eighteen year olds come driving up real fast in a golf cart and start begging him to stop flying the remote helicopter as it is scaring them (in fairness, he was kinda of attacking them with it). He refuses and tells them get lost, but they start begging him more and more and then both offer to blow him. Eventually he just gives in and takes poolside and bangs them in the sun.

I wanna be Rocco

AdolfHipster

Jim Morrison,, without the whole suicide bit! That would've been interesting.

Hotale.com

Sir Osis of Liver.

Knasher

Justin Bieber.

I don't want to have to travel back in time in order to take over somebody in their prime, really just don't want to go back to the days of dial up internet. So I figure if I pick him I'll get to be young, rich and be able to instantly make the world a better place by retiring.

A lesbian Elisha Cuthbert.

You'd like to swap with my boyfriend too?

I'd pick him because he enjoys everything he eats and drinks, he's very smart, very pretty, very fit, motivated, interesting, and many more things that I can't think of right now. I reckon life as him must be pretty good.

And because he gets to have sex with me

Larbre34

My doggy. A life of pure serenity.

If you did that, then he'd also become you, which means you'd be having sex with your former selves.

Weird.

murray.eoghan

i would swap with Lars Ulrich because he is badass on the drums

Fox_In_Socks

I want to see how the other half live.
