Gayatri Spivak (feminist post-colonial author: her writing is nearly incomprehensible but if she was at my dinner table I could ask her to clarify)
My question: what would you talk to them about? I would hope they wouldn’t get into a discussion about the performance of the local sports team … but what do your dinner party guests have in common? I’d ask mine about racism and ethnic identity. I was going to invite Churchill or Wilde to keep the conversation interesting, but I’d rather hear the opinions of other people.
Sheesh! All these highbrow choices. I’d invite six porn stars and skip the dinner!
j/k
- Robin Williams
- William Shakespeare (I think #1 and #2 alone would be enough)
- Mark Twain
- Alice Cooper
- Jesus Christ
- Satan —and once #5 has done away with #6:
- George Washington
I put him there because I couldn’t pass up Satan as a conversationalist, but I also wanted George Washington and couldn’t pass up any others, so there you go. IThinkNot’s instant Dinner Party fix.

I would serve alcohol by the wheelbarrow and after several hours of lauging my ass off, I would make sure the other 5 guys passed out. Then, y’know…me and Salma…well, I guess at that point I would be way too drunk to do anything.
But I would lie about it later.

Buddha
Mohammed
Moses
Krishna
