Not sure if anything like this has been posted, but here are the rules. You can invite any 10 people to dinner, living or dead. They have to have existed in some sense, so no fictional characters. Religious figures like Jesus or Mohammed are okay. For every person you pick, give reasons why.

Here's mine, in no particular order.

1 - Saul Williams Probably my favorite poet of all time. He's a new age beat poet. An incredibly interesting guy, and a wonderful writer. Pick up one of his books if you see them.

2 - Aesop Rock My favorite recent rapper. His lyrics are extremely poetic, and he's got a jones for cigarettes and diner food, so I'm sure we'd have alot to talk about.

3 - Ghenghis Khan One of history's most amazing generals and nation leaders. I just read Ghenghis Khan and the Makings of the Modern World, an outstanding book if you're interested in the Mongols. He seems like he'd be a pretty interesting guy to have to dinner.

4 - Ernest Hemmingway One of my favorite writers. I read Old Man and the Sea in middle school, and was hooked from then on. I'd imagine he'd have some good stories to tell, and be pretty kick ass at telling them.

5 - Jim Morrison The Doors kick ass. Inviting him runs the risk of having him out of his mind on acid and flashing his genitals while insulting the other guests, but I think that would be pretty cool. I mean, come on, it's Jim Fucking Morrison.

6 - Rodney Dangerfield One of the funniest comedians ever. Even in his last few years he had a good deal of comedy in him. And every good dinner party needs a good comedian.

7 - Samuel Jackson As long as he ends everything he says with "motha fucka", he fulfills my requirement. "Pass the salt, motha fucka." "Can I get another glass of apple juice, motha fucka?" "This is some good motha fuckin chicken, motha fucka."

8 - DJ Dangermouse I'm not sure of his real name, but the man produced the Demon Days album, put out The Grey Album, and was a member of both Dangerdoom and Gnarls Barkley. Great music if you ask me. He's got to be an interesting guy.

9 - Jesus I don't trust the Gospels, seeing as they probably weren't even written by the Apostles they're attributed to. I'd like to meet the real Jesus, see what he was really like, ask him a few questions, drink some fine irish whiskey with him, maybe roll a j or two. I'd love to talk philosophy with him, just to see what his opinions really were without fundamentalists twisting them.

10 - William Shatner Come on, it's Will Fucking Shatner.

That's mine. Have fun.

Gandhi and nine of his disciples (more food for me).

Gandhi - because he's awesome
Jeannette d'Arc (Joan of Arc) - because she's awesome
Jesus - same idea as OP
Tolkein - awesome writer
Rowling - awesome writer
Pierce - awesome writer
Paolini - awesome writer
Jacques - awesome writer
Barbara Hambly - writer of my favorite book Stranger at the Wedding
George Washington - I want to know what he thinks about America today

Did you notice that they're all related to politics, religion/philosophy, and/or writing? :p

1. Charlaine Harris because her books make me laugh out loud.

2. Cheyne - online friend I'd love to meet in person

3. Lizzytish - same as above

4. My husband - because it's more fun if we share the experience

5. Gandhi - because I would love to hear his views on many things.

6. George Harrison - My favorite Beatle, and the one with the most personality.

7. Jesus - I want to know what he really said and thought.

8. Susan Sarandon - an actress with looks, a sense of humor and a brain

9. Billy Joel - I want to know how he wrote the songs of my life.

10. Terry Pratchett - because he'd have such a quirky take on things.

10 people

1) God
2) Jesus.
3) Mohammad
4) Benjamin Franklin
5) Thomas Jefferson
6) Mother Theresa
7) Pope John Paul
8) President Bush
9) Vice President Cheney
10) Michelle Yeoh. what... I like Michelle Yeoh.


But I would insist that the next night... I invite Robin Williams to lighten my mood.




oh and Michelle Yeoh.... I said I liked her... :)

What, we get to invite God? Well then! I'm inviting God instead of Jesus. He can tell me everything about Jesus and Himself! Actually, He can tell me everything...

I am going to assume that whatever 'magical' means is used to gather these people also permits us to communicate fluently.

Socrates - The philosopher, not the Brazilian footballer, to find out if Plato was telling the truth.

Fermat - To ask him to explain his proof of his last theorem

Jesus of Nazareth
and
Mohammed - See if we can sort out this religious conflict stuff.

Lucrecia Borgia - just to wind up the previous two.

Marquis de Sade - to put the wind up Lucrecia.

Santos Dumond, Wilbur and Orville Wright. - Let them decide who built the first aeroplane. (This probably only makes any sense to people who have lived in Brazil or with Brazilians)

Richard Feynman - Because I always wanted to talk to him.

1. Mother Theresa-Even though i disagree with her stance on certain issues, i still think she was a genuinely compassionate person who loved everyone unconditionally, or at least tried to.

2. The Dalai Lama-He is just such a peaceful person, i truly think anyone else could become more peaceful simply by being in his presence.

3. William Shakespeare-I think he is the greatest writer in the English language and that accent mixed with the way they spoke at the time would be heaven. I would enjoy discussing literature with him.

4. Freddie Mercury-Queen is my favorite band and he had a mix of vulnerability and confidence to him. He apparently had a great sense of humour too. I would love to hear him sing in person, i never got that chance. I think he had the greatest singing voice in the world.

5. Pablo Picasso-One of the most interesting artists of any time. I think he would have an interesting view of the world.

6. Socrates-He was the first philosopher to really make ethics a part of his theories. I always enjoy philosophical discussions, and who better than one of the foremost philosophers to ever exist?

7. Aristotle-He believed in "everything in moderation." Enjoy the good things in life, but control yourself. I think we would have fun because nothing would really be off-limits as long as we didn't let ourselves get carried away.

8 John Lennon-I greatly admire his world view and not only his hope for peace, but his genuine belief that we could achieve it. He was an idealist in certain ways, just like me.

9. Johnny Depp-Okay, this one isn't really for any sort of intellectual reason. I do think he's intelligent, or at least comes across that way, and i think he is a wonderful actor, but i also think he's extremely hot. Part of this dinner would be spent with me staring at him.

10. Tommy Douglas-He is the founder of the NDP party here in Canada and the one who created our health care system. He cared deeply for the people who lived here and always strove to live according to his convictions. When he first joined the party, before it was named the NDP, it wasn't that popular. It took them awhile to get a fair amount of seats, but he believed in what they stood for. He never abandoned them for one of the more established parties just to get votes.

Number ten was hard because at that point there are quite a few people i could have included.

What, we get to invite God? Well then! I'm inviting God instead of Jesus. He can tell me everything about Jesus and Himself! Actually, He can tell me everything...
I always invite God.... but since he can be argued as being a "fictional" character, then I guess Robin Williams will take his place.


but damnit, Dinner will be turned into an all day affair... exspecially with Mr Williams around. :D

10 is too many.

i might like to have dinner with jesus and st paul. maybe with mary magdalene to even out the genders. it would be fun to get everyone's opinion on the state of religion today.

id like to have dinner with george washington, thomas jefferson and jean-jacques rousseau. to see how they feel about current US politics and the natural rights of man.

id like to have dinner with sheri tepper, connie willis and anne perry because they are among my most favorite writers.

Ten naked drunken horny bitches. I'd call it my "Pimp Picnic".

I wouldn't be surprised at all if I just infringed someones copyright.

1) God
2) Satan
3) Dan Shive
4) Scott Adams
5) Weird Al Yankovich
6) Czardas (secretly)
7) Chuck Norris
8) Mr. T
9) Mrs. Minniger

Later I'd invite TC over for a less distracting opportunity to get to know her, or join her on this evening walk/jog thing she does.

...Errr...

1 Madonna- She will bring some entertainment!

2 Paris Hilton- Thats Hot!

3 Tom Cruise- To convert him back to being a Christain and to stair at!

4 President Bush-Someone to yell at and trick

5 Oprah

6 Hillary Clinton-To plan something Evil With

7 Cast of Mad Tv- Make me laugh

8 Dave Chappelle!

9 Enya-Pring Peace to the Party

10 Chelsea Hansler- Help make a prank on someone

Yes I do have problems:rolleyes:

I guess the final list would depend on if they'd all have to be there at once. I don't know that I'd want to make such a list, but if I could group them then it'd be easier...

The Racers-

Pedro Rodriguez His brother died in a wreck early in his career when he promised to be one of the best drivers to have raced. Pedro went on to be an amazing driver in his own right but despite his success he never really stepped out of the shadow of his brother's lost potential. This dynamic intrigues me and I think he'd be an interesting person to talk to.

Jacky Ickx In 1969 he walked to his car during the traditional Le Mans start (running across the track and jumping into the car, incidentally that's why Porsche 911s have their ignition on the left, to start the car and put it in gear at the same time during the start). He was key in saving racing from being a death sport and created the motivation for racing safety features that have made thier way to street cars and streets. Racing is at its best when it improves the breed. He was also Pedro's primary rival.

A.J. Foyt Bridged the world of the shade tree racer to the modern era, a total legend. Also, I understand, kind of a dick, but as long as I'm feeding him he might play nice and I can hear some crazy ass stories.

The Filmmakers

Werner Herzog While it might reduce itself down to him berating me for not just going out and making films, I imagine I can learn a great deal about film and the history of Oberhausen, so that'd be cool.

Terry Gilliam If for nothing else, to hear him talk about Fellini.

Orson Welles Maybe more for radio and theater than film, but I'm sure the stories would rock either way. Even if he kept telling me it was before the time for the wine...

The Writers

William S. Burroughs Too much to say.

Stanislaw Lem I've liked his books but reading his autobiography made me just like him in general.

Karel Capek This is new. I read him as a novelty ('I read the play where 'robot' came from...)but I've read more and the cat is just interesting. War With the Newts was a great read.

Since I'm splitting it up, I'm going for 12. Deal...

Musicians

Eric Dolphy Realized free jazz in a way that Ornette Coleman couldn't. When you play with Coltrane and Mingus well into their careers and they both are amazed with you, you're a fucking badass.

Charles Mingus Again, from the auto'biography' Beneath the Underdog, he's an interesting cat. And an amazing composer.

John Cage I could talk to that guy forever. 20th century composition pioneer. That's the section of your music appreciation class that you didn't get.

Four nights that would would kick ass.

Pierre Trudeau - former Canadian prime minister, interesting fellow
Che Guevara - Marxist politician/guerilla man, he looks like he can spark an intense conversation
Socrates - Greek philosopher, I want his opinion on our world today
Nelson Mandela - anti-apartheid activist and former South African president, what more can I say?
Hattori Hanzo - fictitious Japanese samurai warrior, he makes awesome swords
Uma Thurman - American actress, I likes her movies!
Vincent Van Gogh - Dutch painter, I must know the REAL reason he chopped off his ear!
Joey - fictitious Australian kangaroo, dinner is never complete without a kangaroo at the table
Confucius - Chinese philosopher, this guy is deep...
Agent Smith - antagonist from The Matrix series, theres nothing awesomer than an evil virus trying to take over the world...

Not sure if anything like this has been posted, but here are the rules. You can invite any 10 people to dinner, living or dead. They have to have existed in some sense, so no fictional characters. Religious figures like Jesus or Mohammed are okay. For every person you pick, give reasons why.
Hmmmm! Interesting question. Lemmie see:

* Albert Einstein, because he was a brilliant man and had, by all accounts, a good sense of humor.

* Fritjof Capra, because he's a brilliant man who had a Ph.D. in nuclear physics and decided that biology was the base science, so he got a Ph.D. in biology and wrote a fantastic book linking the two: The Web of Life.

* Mohandas Ghandi, just because I admire his courage so much.

* Tim Berners-Lee, because he invented the World Wide Web and I want to hear what he has to say about net neutrality.

* Matt Ridley, because he's one of the few people who write about genetics so that I can understand it ( He wrote Genome ).

* Dag Hammarskjold, former UN General Secretary, because he was one of the diplomats I most admire, and who wrote Markings, a book I love.

* Benjamin Franklin, because he was a brilliant man who helped create the United States, and by all accounts was a great conversationalist with a stunning sense of humor.

* Hypatia, who was one of the last curators at the Great Library of Alexander and who would add historical perspective to the conversations.

* Carlos Mencia, who would keep the rest of us in stitches.

* My youngest son, because I love him, and because he's a smart man who would learn more from these conversations than from all the books in the library.

Can't you just imagine the dinnertime conversation!!! OMG! :D

Tom Selleck - He's sexy and intelligent, and, I hear, just an all-round nice guy.

William Shatner - The man has a hysterical sense of humor.

Colin Powell - His opinions always interest me, even if I don't always agree.

Steven Hawking - Self-explanatory, I think. A complete genius with a sense of humor.

Emeril Agassi - Bam. Someone has to do the cooking and it's not going to be me.

Dame Judi Dench - Versatile actress with some great stories to tell.

Katharine Hepburn - Ditto

Condaleeza Rice - See Colin Powell.

Grace O'Malley - Female pirate during the Elizabethan era. Had Queen Elizabeth's admirals on the run.

Queen Elizabeth I - Powerful woman, successful in a man's world, and no one called her a ball-breaking bitch (to her face).

Jesus - of course, who wouldnt want this guy around. its free booze.

Judas - he was just misunderstood, i want to know who he really was

God - be one hell of a dinner party if this guy comes, that is the ultimate status mark if god comes to your diner parties

Adam (as in the first man) - well he was the first man and was the first man to get laid. probably has some interesting stories on that.

some random atheist - i think it would be funny watching some random atheist trying to convince Jesus, God, and Adam that they dont exist.

all four of the ninja turtles and splinter - dont try telling me they werent real, i saw their tv show

Hmmm, difficult choice, let's see:

David Bowie - he's glamorous, he makes excellent music, he's god.

Julio Cortázar - awesome writer, humorous and sparkling.

Erzsébet Báthory, the Bloody Countess - speaks for helself, she could be the cook. :D

Karl Marx - I'd like to ask him a lot of questions.

Marcel Duchamp - he transformed our concept of art, and he'd probably play with the food.

Jack Kerouac - I'd ask him about his travels and his meeting with the Beatniks. Great stories for after dinner!

River Phoenix - don't know why, he's been haunting me since I was a child, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to have someone really beautiful at the table.

Siddhartha Gautama - the historical Buddha, yes!

Alexander the Great - I admire his military genius.

Sigmund Freud's mother - She might tell me how little Sigmund was like and HER opinion of Oedypus complex

Jesus - of course, who wouldnt want this guy around. its free booze.

Judas - he was just misunderstood, i want to know who he really was

God - be one hell of a dinner party if this guy comes, that is the ultimate status mark if god comes to your diner parties

Adam (as in the first man) - well he was the first man and was the first man to get laid. probably has some interesting stories on that.

some random atheist - i think it would be funny watching some random atheist trying to convince Jesus, God, and Adam that they dont exist.

all four of the ninja turtles and splinter - dont try telling me they werent real, i saw their tv show


Awesome, awesome!!! I want to be in that dinner party!!!
I could play the atheist. Are Discordians in?... :rolleyes:

1) God
2) Satan
3) Dan Shive
4) Scott Adams
5) Weird Al Yankovich
6) Czardas (secretly)
7) Chuck Norris
8) Mr. T
9) Mrs. Minniger

Later I'd invite TC over for a less distracting opportunity to get to know her, or join her on this evening walk/jog thing she does.

...Errr...
hey... someone invited me and - apparently - i'll be sitting next to you-know-Who. perfect, i've been waiting for the opportunity to throw the main course at His face...

as to my list:
1. Hitler
2. Stalin
3. Pol Pot
4. Ghengis Khan
5. Bush
6. Pinochet
7. Mussolini
8. Franco
9. Mao Tse Tung
10. an assemblage of the worse pick of the catholic popes...

and since conversation will be severly limited by their different languages (and rotten tongues) i guess we'll just have to jump right into the main course:
innocent stew

1. Ben Franklin - A bright, if pragmatic, guy. I'd like to hear/debate over his stances on current problems, after telling him about them.

2. Thomas Jefferson - Just to see how long it would take for him to start pledging his allegiance to the Democratic party after hearing the horor stories of modern America.

3. Socrates - Best dinner conservation ever.

4. Mozart - Who better to talk music theory over with?

5. Mary Shelley - To teach her basic grammar and simple English...

6. Jon Stewart - For laughs.

7. Ghandi - For his opinion on modern issues.

And that's about all I can think of.

Abe Lincoln- Id like to know what he saw in the Union that was worth saving at such a terrible cost.

Samuel Clemens Wil Rogers Douglas Adams because they know from being funny.

Oscar Wilde, Hunter S Thompson, and Mae West cuz they know how to have a good time.

Teddy Roosevelt to talk adventure

Helen of Troy for eye candy.

Marcel Marceau and enough paintball guns for the other guests and myself to shoot at him.

1.God, I won't need to invite any specific part of the deity, they'd all be there
2.Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.-fought peacefully(ik oxymoron) for a just cause
3.Beyonce=HOT
4.Kevin Garnett-my favorite basketball player ever
5.Brett Farve-to know how he got over many struggles in his career
6.Shigefumi Mori-guy's a math whiz(I could use the extra help)
7.Zhang Ziyi-very pretty face
8.Jackie Chan-one of my childhood idols
9.Mariusz Pudzianowski- that guy is so strong, I'd make him lift something really huge
10.Thomas Edison-guy's a genius

1. Robert Anton Wilson - my favorite author
2. Tim Leary - Awesome author/philosopher
3. Einstein - I want him to explain everything about physics to me!
4. Cary Grant - Yum
5. Mae West - One of my idols
6. Katherine Hepburn - Another of my greatest idols
7. Sandra Day O'Conner - I don't always agree with her decisions, but she has done things not many women have been able to, an idol
8. Thomas Jefferson - Though I'm sure I'd be saddened to see his reaction to the state of the USA today
9. Steven Tyler - My favorite musician
10. Buddha - cuz he has got to have some interesting thoughts on the world.

Hey, I said no fictional characters. Cheaters.

But I guess God's okay. Damn, kind of wish I'd invited him. Although I guess technically speaking he'd be there anyway.

EDIT: Oh, and damn good call with Aristotle. Not sure who I'd substitute for him, maybe William Shatner. Sorry Bill.

1) God
2) Satan
3) Dan Shive
4) Scott Adams
5) Weird Al Yankovich
6) Czardas (secretly)
7) Chuck Norris
8) Mr. T
9) Mrs. Minniger

Later I'd invite TC over for a less distracting opportunity to get to know her, or join her on this evening walk/jog thing she does.

...Errr...

It's morning run, now (though the walks are in the evening), seeing as the temperture reaches 30 or so degrees around noon and doesn't cool untill 10pm. See you at six (am)....

1) Yussef Islam, for the peace factor
2,3,4) Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte- Emily is my favourite, but if I only invited one, the others would be offended.
5) Andrew Lloyd Webber, who'll write me a musical, just like he wrote one for that Sarah hussie.
6) Cleopatra- I want to know what she looked like. She's always portrayed as a beautiful, dark complexioned goddess, but I heard a rumour that she was really a frumpy, plump blonde.
7) Anne Boleyn, to teach me the rules of seduction.
8) Lady Jane Grey, to see if she really spent an evening smashing wine glasses with her sexy, bad-boy-type husband (what do you mean that movie was fiction?)
9) Kiera Knightley, as decoration.
10) The one and only, Alexandre Despatie...

In no order whatsoever.

Zhuge Liang - Brilliant man, mastermind of his entire craft.

John McCain - I like the guy.

Theodore Roosevelt - Another guy I like.

Calvin Cooldige - Always knows the right thing to say, and when to say it.

Stephen Colbert - This man knows what is right for the world. Why won't you listen?

Yoshiyuki Tomino - I wouldn't understand a single word the man is saying, but I'd still want him there.

Tina Fey - Hot.

Adam West - "Quick Robin, to the Bat-Table!"

Sam Houston - My favorite Texas historical figure.

Rusty Yates - True story, he almost came to Thanksgiving dinner one year. My crazy aunt worked with him and thought he was "a nice guy, just a bit misunderstood" She asked to bring him to Thanksgiving dinner at my parents' place, but for some crazy reason, my mom said 'no'.

Man, and I really wanted to ask him if he had any kids...

Gandhi and nine of his disciples (more food for me).
hehe

ghandi
chuck norris
stalin(so i could slap the fuck)
john lennon
my mom(a fucking angel on earth)
jesus
mohammad
einstein
saddam(so i could slap the fuck)
kurt cobain
tom petty
the girl from the cranberries

what a dinner that would be...i would say rowdy and interesting..to say the least.

1. Edgar Allan Poe - Just because I like horror novels and the man is the grandfather of the entire genre and one of the most singularly unhappy persons of all time. I'd like to cheer him up and show him the appreciation he never got in life. Maybe buy him a beer and a lapdance. He deserves it.
2. Lee Harvey Oswald - Just to ask him if he really did it, or was it the man behind the grassy knoll? He's about the only one that could answer that question.
3. John Lennon - I'd like to have him to dinner just so I could bask in his greatness. He wasn't the greatest musician, but he was so much more than just a musician. He was a political activist, an intellectual, a great lyricist and an artist as well. And he always backed up his ideas with deeds. He would be just the guy to tell Bono what a pompous blowhard he really is.
4. Mark Twain - He would be the one to have around when everybody else began to take themselves too seriously. He understood the human condition better than most people that have ever lived, and was twice as funny as any of them while doing it.
5. Howard Hughes - A wonderful study in obsessive/compulsive behavior. Also a man who placed more value on a concept over a few billion dollars. And if Poe still didn't cheer up after the lapdance, then he'd be a good partner for Edgar. Misery loves company.
6. H.R. Giger - I'd like to see if he ever had any nightmares, and if so, what they'd look like. Because if he came up with the images he paints without the use of psychedelics, or the images found in his dreamstate, then he probably needs to be locked up.
7. Nostradamus - It would be interesting to see why he felt it was necessary to be so ephemeral and vague with his predictions just to see if he was the genius some folks believe him to be or just another phony psychic with a more highly developed gift for poetry and symbolism than most.
8. Karen Carpenter - Just thought I'd invite at least one anorexic to a dinner they would never eat. And she would provide an easy target for Lennon to criticize for her musical blandness and vapidity. Got to keep the dinner conversation lively.
9. Mary Jo Kopechne - She could answer a few questions of whether Ted was just a drunk with bad luck and little or no common sense,(time has not changed that very much, to be sure, though his luck has gotten better) or if he was actually guilty of some something more substantial, like say, manslaughter.
10. George Carlin - A keen observer of people and behavior, an endless fountain of biting social commentary, not to mention a man who is, more often than not, funny as hell. He could, however, learn a thing or two from Mark Twain, who managed to attain the same objectives without the use of gratuitous vulgarity for it's own sake. So we'll sit George next to him, hoping for a more calming influence.

Jesus - I want to know what he really said and thought.

Susan Sarandon - an actress with looks, a sense of humor and a brain

Billy Joel - I want to know how he wrote the songs of my life.
I'll take these three and raise you these:

My mother - she died when I was too little to remember her, so that one's a no-brainer

My highschool sweet heart - who died in an avalanche at age 26.

Kate Chopin - late 19th century American author; because she's awesome like that.

Tom Cruise - to take away his e-meters and smack some sense into him. Or at least get him to release Katie.

Douglas Adams - to keep his plate filled forever, so that he'll never have to go back to being dead and could, in between main course and dessert, write some more books

Jon Stewart - so I could finally meet my future husband in person. :fluffle:

Bill Gates - so I could congratulate him on the work of his foundation and whack him over the head for everything else.



Yeah, I know, heavy on the fluff there, but it's awfully early... <.<

1. Jesus- Who else would you rather have?
2. George Harrison- My favorite beatle
3. John Lennon- Maybe him and George would tell some good stories
4. Hitler- See what he would do now
5. Mark Martin- Greatest Driver ever
6. Bob Barker- greatest gameshow host ever
7. George Peppard- John "Hannible" Smith
8. Edgar Cayce- Got any more?
9. Tom Cruise- favorite actor
10. Ross Perot- Greatest should have been

~~~~~~~~~~~
If he was real, Bigfoot

Jimi Hendrix. (I wanna jam with him)
Stanley Kubrick.
Kurt Cobain.
Eliza Dushku. (she's hawt)
Christina Scabbia. (also)
George Orwell.
Albert Einstein.
Samuel L. Jackson. (Just to hear him say "That is a tasty burger.")
Horace de Vere Cole.
Virginia Woolf. (although i'm not familiar with her writings, she definitely seems interesting.)

Aww, man. I suck at coming up with smart/influential women. Can I have Emma Goldman too?





David Bowie - he's glamorous, he makes excellent music, he's god.

Julio Cortázar - awesome writer, humorous and sparkling.

Erzsébet Báthory, the Bloody Countess - speaks for helself, she could be the cook.

Karl Marx - I'd like to ask him a lot of questions.

Marcel Duchamp - he transformed our concept of art, and he'd probably play with the food.

Jack Kerouac - I'd ask him about his travels and his meeting with the Beatniks. Great stories for after dinner!

River Phoenix - don't know why, he's been haunting me since I was a child, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to have someone really beautiful at the table.

Siddhartha Gautama - the historical Buddha, yes!

Alexander the Great - I admire his military genius.

Sigmund Freud's mother - She might tell me how little Sigmund was like and HER opinion of Oedypus complex

That's a pretty cool list.

Mmmmmmk!

Ruffy, I love you.
Don't we all? :D
I didn't think we even had ten fluffles, not to mention ten not-evil ones. Perfect.
Ya learn something everyday.

*nods*

I am going to assume that whatever 'magical' means is used to gather these people also permits us to communicate fluently.

Socrates - The philosopher, not the Brazilian footballer, to find out if Plato was telling the truth.

Fermat - To ask him to explain his proof of his last theorem

Jesus of Nazareth
and
Mohammed - See if we can sort out this religious conflict stuff.

Lucrecia Borgia - just to wind up the previous two.

Marquis de Sade - to put the wind up Lucrecia.

Santos Dumond, Wilbur and Orville Wright. - Let them decide who built the first aeroplane. (This probably only makes any sense to people who have lived in Brazil or with Brazilians)

Richard Feynman - Because I always wanted to talk to him.

I hope you tape this dinner - because it sounds like great entertainment!

I'll take these three and raise you these:

My mother - she died when I was too little to remember her, so that one's a no-brainer

My highschool sweet heart - who died in an avalanche at age 26.

Kate Chopin - late 19th century American author; because she's awesome like that.

Tom Cruise - to take away his e-meters and smack some sense into him. Or at least get him to release Katie.

Douglas Adams - to keep his plate filled forever, so that he'll never have to go back to being dead and could, in between main course and dessert, write some more books

Jon Stewart - so I could finally meet my future husband in person. :fluffle:

Bill Gates - so I could congratulate him on the work of his foundation and whack him over the head for everything else.



Yeah, I know, heavy on the fluff there, but it's awfully early... <.<

Sounds like an excellent dinner. I was torn between Adams and Pratchett.

Einstein
MLK
Jean Sarte
Socrates
Nietzche
Lewis Black
Rene Decartes
Samuel Jackson

Freud: Just so I can express how much I hate him.

My mother - she died when I was too little to remember her, so that one's a no-brainer

My highschool sweet heart - who died in an avalanche at age 26.


Aww, that's sad...I think you mentioned the latter to me once, but I had no idea about the former. :(

That's a pretty cool list.
Eliza Dushku indeed.

Hattori Hanzo - fictitious Japanese samurai warrior, he makes awesome swords


LOL

Hollywood is everything to you, no?

All of the contestants from the NS Pageants.

i'd invite any ten people who didn't smell too bad and aggreed not to beat each other over the head while they were in my house.

mostly science fiction authors it think, because of all the semi-famous people i've ever met, the are the most interesting to converse with.

oh of the truely widely heard of, mahandus k ghandi would certainly be at the top of my list. along with lao tsu. and possibly wavoka.
then there'd be jerry brown and harlan ellison.
asamov certainly, and douglas adams. peter cameo and dennis kussenich.
jallal d'in rumi.

hmmm. that makes ten.

but anyone else who showed up willing to behaive themselves would be probably just as welcome.

naturaly i can think of a LOT of other names.
our table only holds four, but we can get about nineteen into our house with room for them to sit down. just barely.

=^^=
.../\...

Hm. In no particular order, and with absolutely no justification...

Howard Phillips Lovecraft
Edward Plunkett, 18th Baron Dunsany

I'm a terrific cook. Anything anyone could want, I can cook beautifully. :D

I'm a terrific cook. Anything anyone could want, I can cook beautifully. :D

Even better :D

Send out the invites ;) :p

In no particular order:

Bill Gates - to discuss all things technology
Mahatma Gandhi - to discuss philosophy and the possibility of a world without violence
Adolf Hitler - to determine the root of his hatred

Jesus Christ - to see if Dan Brown's novel was BS after all

Stanley Kubrick - discuss philosphy and psychology. The man was a genius and I don't think anyone has inherited his style yet.

David Hume - the philosopher who recognized what life is all about - playing backgammon and drinking with friends

Ayn Rand - I'd probably marry her if I lived in the 30s-40s

George W. Bush - I wanna see the real G.Dub behind all the Bush hating

Jewel Kilcher - I'd marry her right now. She's got this great creativity and sarcastic sense of humor, not to mention her killer looks.

Friedrich Nietzsche - the man whose philosophy I hate to believe in.

and a couple of runners-up: Napoleon Bonaparte, Joseph Stalin, Marilyn Manson, Steven Spielberg.

Like your list of great military men Alemannia. :mp5:

Not all military men. Statesmen too. That's why Bismarck, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang are there; can't rule the world without excellent diplomacy.

What I like about Bismarck is he actually understood what the Kaiser in WWI and the Fuhrer in WWII did not - that Germany could not win a two front war with Russia and France (or at least that it would have a hell of a time doing it).

I agree with Ashmoria, and would like to split my dinners

Dinner one- God- I have a lot of questions that I probably shouldn't ask

My husband- to ask the questions for me if I chicken out

The crazy JW lady that shows up to my house on Tuesdays- I would like to see what happens when she and I get into a room and God can mediate our debate

the other two dinners have to wait......she is at the door....:rolleyes:

1.Jesus to get a picture of the "true" Jesus
2.Hitler to figure out what on Earth possessed him to kill all of those people
3.George Bush to ask him a few questions about his policies
4.My Sorta-Kinda-Maybe Ex to ask him why he dropped of the face of the Earth
5.Lucretia Mott ...cuz she was a cool lady
6.Eleanor of Aquitaine to get some leadership advice
7.My Mommy to see her one last time
8.Al Gore to get some more leadership advice
9.Saint Paul to ask him a few questions about the origins of the New Testament
10.Rabbi Benjamin Blech to aks him a few questions about his book

MC Lars - the only good white rapper: Download This Song, Signing Emo


MC Lars is good, but there's plenty of other decent white rappers. Like Lars though, they're pretty underground.

Check out Aesop Rock. Not nearly as upbeat as Lars, but I think he's better.


Massive props to the guy who invited Lovecraft by the way. I think I'll have him on standby, in case Jesus has to heal a cripple, or Morrison OD's on the way to dinner.

In AD 61, Prasutagus, Boadicea's husband and King of the Iceni died. A dispute followed during which Boadicea, was publicly beaten by the soldiers of the emperor, and her two daughters raped. The Iceni were insulted and rose in revolt led by their queen Boadicea. So successful was the uprising that the Romans were almost defeated. Unfortunately for the Iceni and their allies, the military skill of the Roman army finally led to the crushing of the rebellion.After the revolt, Roman rule was re-established. For almost two glorious years, Boadicea pillaged the Roman settlements; she remains to this day, the greatest of the heroines of Britain.

Joey Dunlop - greatest motorbike racer ever, guaranteed by Honda race bikes for life until his death in 2000, always rejected a proper pit crew and did all the work himself. Spent most of his money on solo aid missions to orphanages in eastern Europe, gaining an OBE, and recognition he didn't want, for it. An incredibely admirable man, he eschewed fame, but always had time for his fans. Got his income from working in his bar in his home town. One of my heroes.

The other two don't really matter after that.

Jesus has to be a clear pick for everyone. If only because of what you'd save by buying water instead of expensive wine (more if you could persuade him to do the fishes and loaves thing).
