Who would you have dinner with?

Angelina Jolie
Joss Whedon
my sister (couldn’t do the other two without including my sister at the dinner)

Bowie
Louis Black

That’s about it.

Brian Regan — He’s one of my favorite comedians. I got to see him live earlier this year, and he just seems like a genuinely nice person.

Simon Pegg — He is so my kind of geek.

Terry Pratchett — Because the conversation would be amazing, even if I never said anything.

:confused:

If he invited the other two, his sister would insist on attending.

If in their prime, Reagan, Thatcher, and Obama.

I got busted, so I’m busting you…currently alive.

Fairly busted! I missed that bit.

Okay, so how about William Hague, Boris Johnson, and Barak Obama?

I’d have breakfast with Kevin Bacon,

Lunch with the Earl of Sandwich,

And dinner with Warren Buffett (we could do it on the cheap, like at some place that was an all-you can eat style where the guests serve themselves from various dishes displayed on a table or sideboard.)

snicker Nice one, Isamu! :wink:

Right now:

Ricky Gervais (for laughs)
Rachel Weisz (for eye candy and I saw her interviewed once and actually had the thought, “wow she’d be fun to hang around with.” )
Paul Greengrass ( I just watched one of the Bourne movies and his work is so varied and all great)

Sonny Barger
Lemmy from Motorhead
David Allen Coe

You all can go ahead and have your nice intellectual dinners and or group sex romps. We’re just going to get loaded and maybe stop by a few nudie bars.

Ah. “Do” the other two, as in, have lunch with.

Noam Chomsky
Gore Vidal
John Lydon

Warren Haynes
George R.R. Martin
Mick Foley

I love you.

Loreena McKennitt

Alex Lifeson

Arnold

Pleasant Conversation;

  1. Bono of U2. Don’t care what your opinion of him is. U2 is my favorite band, though this wouldn’t be a fanwank lunch. I’d be more interested in talking to him about world leaders and aid issues.

  2. Joss Whedon. It’d be fun to talk about the various universes he’s created and the whole Hollywood thing.

  3. Oh My. There are a number of very attractive actresses who are closer to my age that I’d love to have dinner with. From Halley Berry to Torri Higginson to Angelina Jolie… the list is very long. Which of them isn’t married right now?
    Controversial/Confrontation and downright fun for me;

1> Kim Jong-Il. In a neutral place with an interpreter but no bodyguards. I’d love to be able to question him about the world while being able to laugh in his face and point out the obvious.

2> The Pope. We can discuss some of the finer points of Catholic Doctrine, how they developed, how the differ from early church doctrine and how they may or may not be based in scriptures. We can also discuss birth control and the armored pope mobile, and the similarities between each.

3> There are some real nutball politicians in this country, especially for the minor parties. I’d love to have one chained to a table where I could question and laugh at them without worrying about them simply running away.
