If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

I have a hard enough time being me, never mind temporarily being someone else. There is no one else I’d chose to be. I’ll throw out a few possibilities anyway, just for shits and giggles.

• Neil deGrasse Tyson for two reasons. First, because it would be fun to be super smart for a day. Second, because it would be fun to have the single coolest voice on Earth for a day.
• Some amazing guitar player. In the past I would say a 23-25 year old Eric Clapton, but the racism and the anti-vax have spoiled that idea for me. I’d probably go with Gary Clark, Jr because he’s amazing and he’s not elderly and he and I are both juniors so that would be cool.
• That Nigerian prince who keeps emailing everyone. Just imagine how wonderful it would be to be able to share all of that money with so many people.
• Some fourth line skater on whoever wins the next Stanley Cup on the day the Cup is won for two reasons. First, it would be cool to lift the Cup and second, because it would be nice to be able to ice skate for a day.
• Someone who is in shape, just so I can know what that feels like for a few minutes. That would be fun.
