If I won a phone call from Tim we could wish each other happy birthdays, but I fear I'm not chatty enough to converse much beyond that.
I think I would be like that SNL skit where a tv show host says to the famous person, "Remember when xyz happened? That was great." Perhaps it was Chris Farley? Anyway, I can just see myself:
Me: You know Out of Gas? I think that was the best episode of any tv show ever.
Tim: Thanks. I liked it too.
Me: Yeah, it was great.
Long, awkward silence.
Me: Oh, so when are you getting Allyson that pony?

If I only had a brain...
Pretty much. Perhaps a desperate "So, how about that Alexander Hamilton guy, eh?", hoping for a very long answer.

You could ask him what he's working on now. That'd probably fill about 10 minutes all by itself.

aurelia, I see on imdb that Tim's birthday is Oct. 29th, 1963 (assuming imdb is correct, which it isn't always). Is that your birthday too? Mine is Oct. 24th, 1963.... so I suppose when the stars were aligning, they decided to drop all the creativity in his direction, hmmm? (Not to speak for you, of course. Just me.)

I just heard a teaser for a piece on Fiona Apple on Morning Edition tomorrow.
Something about fans sending thousands of foam apples to the record company sitting on the album.
I had a brief image of Allyson's head exploding had she been within 500 feet of that fan campaign.

At least foam apples won't rot in the mailroom.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Mine is the 28th which is the start date for the phone call window.

Honestly, I can't imagine many things less enjoyable than winning a phone call with a celebrity so I could have an awkward contest-mandated conversation with them. And anything I want to say to Tim I can just post here, where the ability to compose and edit my thoughts beforehand seriously lowers the impression of doofushood I'd otherwise give.
