August 30:

Mohammed (guess nobody would be taking any selfies)

Huey Long (I’m counting on him to bring some good Louisiana food and drink)

Ted Williams (we’ll be talkin’ baseball)

Lewis Black (should be plenty of laughs)

Then again, maybe a stag party’s not the best idea. A great alternate choice would be Joan Bennett – not the film noir and sitcom actress, but _Playboy_’s Playmate of the Month for January 1985. Photography would definitely ensue in that case…

February 10:

For dinner, I invite Glenn Beck, Bertold Brecht, George Stephanopolous, and Vince Gilligan.

For the “party” afterwards, I invite Elizabeth Banks, Emma Roberts, Uzo Aduba, and Laura Dern.

Would there be drugs and hookers?
