If I could have dinner with anyone

[hammer600]

There are two persons I would love to have dinner with...just to pick their brains and enjoy conversation.

Pierre Trudeau and Bill Clinton.

[Blackadar]

I'd like to have Marilyn Monroe for dessert.

[CeeKay]

Muammar Gaddafi and Dog the Bounty Hunter. 


me and Dog could subdue Gaddafi and turn him in for the bounty on his head.

[hepcat]

Jesus Christ - So I could ask him what the "H" stood for.

Larry Holmes - So I could make him jealous.

[Razgon]

I'd love to have a nice dinner and chat with Albert Einstein. I'm somewhat certain he was a hoot to talk with!

Josh Whedon would be my second choice

[Isgrimnur]

Josh Whedon would be my second choice

I would prefer Joss Whedon, personally.   

[Soulchilde]

Martin Luther King


My great, great, great, great grandfather who was slave and fought in the Civil War after he escaped

I remember it like it was yesterday...

[Zekester]

^LOL

Seriously though, there's so many that I wouldn't know where to start.

-My dad (died when I was 6)
-My mom's boyfriend after dad (died when I was 17)
-My grandmother and Uncle (both died recently)
-General Shwarzkopf
-George W Bush
-Sly Stallone
-Kurt Russell
-Wild Bill Hickok
-Sandra Bullock
-Sarah Palin
-some of my ex-girlfriends
-Hitler. Yes, I said Hitler
-Condoleeza Rice


the list goes on and on.

They'd have to open up and talk about anything, though. Otherwise what's the point?

.

[hepcat]

Palin???

[Zekester]

F*** Ya!

[hepcat]

Well...I suppose you WOULD have Hitler there to provide some reason.

[Ironrod]

Is this at a restaurant or at somebody's home? Who's cooking? Who's picking up the check, or is it Dutch treat? Do we get separate checks or split down the middle? Do I have to wear a tie? Because that's a deal-breaker.

If I have to pay then I'm choosing someone like Gandhi who's content with rice and water.

[EngineNo9]

Reed Hastings, the CEO of Netflix 

[DOSHIGH]

Anyone from the year 2100 who has a strong education in 21st Century history.  5,000 years or longer would be even more interesting but it probably wouldn't help me much in this life.  Or pull a Marty McFly and talk to myself as a 12 year old after purchasing a pocket edition Sports Almanac.

I was thinking hepcat and Carrot Top together just to prove once and for all that a celebrity isn't hiding amongst us.

I've met him, and I have to say he's not.  I was surprised to find out Isgrimnur is actually George Lucas though.....

ah crap, I've outed him...... RUN GEORGE RUN!

[Isgrimnur]

[Default]

Martin Luther King

I vote for your 4xG Grandfather. He risked being martyred every time he went into battle. Plus, you would get a far better look into your heritage talking to a guy with balls as big as stopsigns. Hell, I'd put him on for MY dinner guest.

Let's just put it this way:  have you ever seen myself and Gallagher at the same time?

I also haven't seen you and Gallagher II together.  Hmmmm....

[USMC Kato]

Smedley Butler, Dan Daly, Carlos Hathcock (met him, but would be an honor to have dinner with him)
and Winstin Churchill

[Eel Snave]

Hmm. Good one.

I'll take Jesus off the table for me, because that would be my first choice. I'm sure it would extremely interesting to talk to him.

Aside from that, I would think Mark Twain would be a great conversation partner.

[McBa1n]

Dean Cameron

[Blackadar]

I'd like to have Marilyn Monroe for dessert.

This comes from a true story.

In 12th grade English class, the teacher posed the question, "if you could go back in history and spend 1 hour with someone, who would it be and why?".  We went around the room and many gave the same answers you're reading here - Jesus, MLK, JFK, Ghandi, etc.  We finally got to me.

I looked up and said Marilyn Monroe.

The teacher looked puzzled.  "What would you talk with her about?"

"We wouldn't be talking."

Needless to say, I was removed from class immediately.

[hepcat]

Dean Cameron

At first I thought you wrote Dean Cain and I laughed out loud...

[Dramatist]

I would have to go with Jesus first and it would be helpful if he could learn English first.

Then David Bowie.  Music is important to me and he's the most influential musician for the stuff I enjoy.

[McBa1n]

Dean Cameron

God damn, haha. That went from awesome idea to awesomer idea, almost.

[CeeKay]

I coudl see having Jesus over for dinner.  I mean, seriusoly, the dude can turn water to wine.  fuck the bar tab.

[Blackadar]

Jesus having dinner at a Southern Baptist's house:

*Jesus turns water into wine*
"Sorry, Jesus.  We don't drink."

[Isgrimnur]

Hopefully it's a touch spell, or at least targeted in some manner.  If it's a 30 ft radius, all of a sudden there's wine in the toilet. 

[hepcat]

Does Dean Cain drink?  You could invite him.

[WorkingMike]

Kevin Spacey. He seems like a really interesting cat and dinner would be full of great conversation. My backup would be Wallace Shawn.

I'd like to go out for drinks with Sara Rue

[Purge]

John Holmes - So he could make me jealous.

FTFY.

[Purge]

Well, that'll help you at the end of the night when you need some of the hair of the dog that bit ya... and since you're face is already there...

[Purge]

I'd love to have dinner with Simon Pegg, Bill Murray and Michael Caine.

In terms of interest, I'd rather not have a physicist or deep intellectual at the table - I mean, they'd spend half their time just trying to explain one of their deep insights that had never been fully realized and have them feel like they were explaining trigonometry to a puppy. Now, perhaps if they had a series of lectures, I'd be very interested in hearing what Nikolai Tesla would have to say about technology today, and where our next steps should be.

I'd also be interested in breaking bread (sans grain ) to Bill Clinton. The man is a charismatic icon and a brilliant speaker.

[kronovan]

1st choice would be rising star Berry Pepper - or is that risen star. Mostly because he's one of my favorite actor and he's from my neck of the woods.

I occassionally just like to eat my dinner quickly and then put up my feet and snooze right at the table. As well, I tend to be understimulated by non-intelligent conversation and doze off. So on that note my 2nd choice would be George W Bush.

How about dinner with cheeba?  you could get into a fistfight over the caloric content of the breadsticks then compete in an impromptu "squat off".

[Z-Corn]

Hunter S. Thompson and Anthony Bourdain and Timothy Leary.  THAT would be a fun meal...
