If you could have dinner with anyone

[FrancisZ]

If you could have dinner with anyone now living, or dead (no, no zombies now); who would it be and why?

I'll go first...

Doris Kearns Goodwin--History Professor; and because she knows a lot about Roosevelts, and made me admire them growing up.

Deborah Harry--because she was adopted, punk, and is beautiful even at 63.

 

[rootX]

Bill Gates - He would pay whatever I eat

 

[tribdog]

Karen Carpenter

 

[wildman]

Jesus.

 

[binzing]

Uh, too many to name...

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

My wife. We never order the same thing so we can sample from each other's plate.

 

[Moonbear]

I don't care who I have dinner with, what's important is who is doing the cooking!

One that comes to mind is Socrates. I was corrupted by him as a young person and would like to thank him.

 

[humanino]

All the people who did not eat enough today.

I have no idea why I just said that

 

[undrcvrbro]

Probably Richard Simmons right after he's done sweatin it to the oldies.


Edit: Richard Simmons while he is sweatin it to the oldies.

 

[Gear300]

Lucifer...just for the lulz

 

[Oberst Villa]

All the people who did not eat enough today.

So would I. Well, perhaps not all of them simultaneously, better one by one...

*thinks hard*

I guess I´'ll start with Lindsay Lohan

[wolram]

It would have to be that girl that does the dictionary on countdown (quiz show in UK), Sue Dent?

 

[Evo]

Leonardo DaVinci

I have always been in awe of him.

It's in your name: a real humanitarian. Good for you!

 

[Lisa!]

I don't care who I have dinner with, what's important is who is doing the cooking!

And more important than that:what's the dinner?

 

[Leah]

It would have to be Axle Rose, Guns-n-Roses. Can you imagine what a great party dinner that would be? GNR is my favorite band!

 

[intp]

Homer Hickam

 

[Borg]

Someone from another planet - as long as I wasn't on the menu.

 

[Proton Soup]

Karen Carpenter

lol, so you could watch her pick at her salad and sip water?


i think i would like to dine with Temujin.

 

[Newai]

Mr. Snuffleupagus. He seems like he would be very easy to please and get along with at a dinner table. Especially since I'm dying to ask him just what the hell he is.

 

[Dembadon]

Dead:
Nikola Tesla or Mark Twain

Living:
Alton Brown

 

[noblegas]

A clone version of myself

 

[berkeman]

Richard Feynman

 

[turbo]

Maybe Ambrose Bierce...

 

[bassplayer142]

Jaco Pastorius

Because he was the best of the best bass player ever. He could make his bass sing better than people can with their voice.

 

[Agent M27]

Mine would have to definitely be Richard Feynman. I see him speak so enthusiastically when talking about physics and it is truly inspiring. Also what a funny guy, he seems to have been a real practical joker as well. It would have been great to grow up with him as a father or grandfather.

 

[rewebster]

Leonardo DaVinci

I have always been in awe of him.

make it three settings...


(four if Leo brought his--uhmm--'date')

 

[rootX]

I was going to say anyone who would be willing to pay for the dinner :), but I noticed I had said the same thing about a year ago.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

My wife. I've been sitting in this restaurant for half an hour waiting for her to show up. Where is she?

 

[KrisOhn]

Probably Richard Feynman. He's been one of my biggest external inspirations to become a physics major. It's funny though, I wouldn't like to talk about physics with him at this dinner, I would just like to talk.

 

[drizzle]

Cyrus

Seriously Ghandi

 

[GeorginaS]

David Foster Wallace.
