Jeff and I were talking tonight about a perfect dinner party. You can only invite 5 guests ok. Jeff decided on the following:
Thomas Jefferson,, Madonna, Joan of Arc, Peter Gabriel, Ayn Rand.
Mine were: James Stewart, James Dean, Martin Luther King and our Jeff
So tell me who would you invite they can be dead or alive the choice is yours…

*I would need someone there I could actually understand.
September 4, 2006 at 11:46 am #151770PolarBearNPRParticipantOooooo, good question! I’d invite Jesus Christ (to actually break bread with Him and hear His views on His church now would be incredible); James Madison (as the youngest signer of the Constitution and supporter of it through significant contributions to the Federalist Papers and the Bill of Rights, I’d like to hear his take on today’s interpretation); James Michener (his historical perspective on peoples fascinates me); my grandmom :crying: (who passed in ’02, who I could share anything with, and miss terribly); and for eye-candy Johnny Depp 😮 (who of course would stay for an after-dinner drink or two)
February 27, 2007 at 6:50 pm #151771Leapy LeoMemberSorry for spotting this thread a wee bit late but I would like to invite Samuel Beckett and Eminem.
Wouldn’t they go well together. Two people who made a living from being original and cynical from different generations.
I would also invite Bill Clinton, [for a nice saxaphone break as well as the fact that he’s a good listener], Tony Wilson [“punk” entrepeur from the 80’s and 90’s who was at the hub of changing musical fashions in Manchester] and Johhny [Rotten] Lydon who I have always wanted to meet.

Like they don’t exist and you end up going around and around alllll day and you end up at the same place 14 times!
In fact we got so lost we asked this guy directions and he said to me “what do you think I am the ‘F*&^* AA’! Unless from the UK you might not get that 😮
Been to see Nickelback a few times there, ahhh forgot add my Chad Kroeger to that list for the ultimate dinner party, now I think about it! Saying that the last thing I would want to do is just chat with him! haha 😀
February 27, 2007 at 8:43 pm #151767TigerbladeParticipantI was actually asked a similar question in an interview lately — if you could have lunch with anyone, who would it be? — and I had no answer.
I’ll have to get back to you on this one. I have some cursory ideas, but it’s going to take some time to get them from mind tomouthfingers.edit: ok… I think I’ve come up with a list. Here’s the list, in no particular order:
- Mitch Hedberg
- Ole Kirk Christiansen
- Mandy Moore (alternately, Zooey Deschanel)
- Paul Boag
- Ray Kurzweil
the full write-up is at “Dinner Party” on my own site.

Me, and most of academic England would just like to know what he actually looked like and anything else would be a bonus. Maybe he would roar with laughter at some of the theories and guesses passed down through the centuries about his life…Mind you, it might not be much of a dinner party then because I’d probably end up ignoring all the other guests lol
