You can have dinner with one famous person who shares your birthday

And not Colonel Klink? Pfff…

Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin :smiley:

Merriweather Lewis
Rosalyn Carter
Robert Redford
Christian Slater

I think I’d love to have Lewis tell me all about travelling across the Great Plains and how hot Sacajawea really was.

Frank Capra or Pope John Paul 2. I think I’ll go with Il Poppa. Most entertainers that I’ve met have been sore disappointments, and PJ always struck me as a very holy man. I saw him speak in Rome once, and you could see the holiness coming off him like cold smoke off dry ice.

I know nothiiiiingk!

H.G. Wells

There are several that are quite tempting; John Prine, Ben Vereen, Theolonious Monk, Harold Pinter, Helen Hayes, but I think I’d have to go with Ed Wood Jr. Not sure if he’d dress for the occasion.

Ooh, I think I would have to go with Howard Carter, although Belle Boyd would also be interesting.

Oh no question for me. Harvey Kurtzman who founded Mad Magazine.

I’m afraid I could not keep from gushing and fawning and embarrassing myself.

I don’t know if I’d like to have dinner with Werner Klemperer, but I’d love to to meet his dad.

I have a pretty bad one. I will exchange it sight unseen with anyone else’s - even Mugabe’s Feb. 21

Nov. 24th:
Desmond Morris 1928

Runner ups:
Ernest Borgnine 1917
Warren Zevon 1947
John Belushi 1949

Will Rogers, Art Carney, Delbert McClinton, Robert Mapplethorpe, Laura Bush, Ralph Macchio … I think I have to choose Walter Cronkite

Jerry Mathers as the Beaver!

Also, despite some mysterious oversight, Lester “Beetlejuice” Green.

I really get robbed on these things. Full of C-listers, I tell ya. Hmm, do I go for Ray Stevens or Ernest Borgnine? Neil Diamond or Yakov Smirnoff?

John Belushi would probably be entertaining, but I’ll probably go historical with the Emperor Hadian, or Frederick the Great of Prussia.

If I get a translator, Suleiman the Magnificent. If not, hell, still Suleiman the Magnificent, because people with the middle name “the” rule.

Some great choices for March 17th.
A couple of porn stars, Stormy Daniels and Katie Morgan.
Actor Rob Lowe and Kurt Russel.
Musicians Billy Corgan and Nat King Cole.
Inventor Gottlieb Daimler. And of course one true sicko, John Wayne Gacy.
I wouldn’t have much of an appetite with that one. The one person I would really want to sit down and listen to his experiences is James Irwin, eighth man to walk on the moon. I bet there’s some fascinating storys there.
There were others, but hell, hes been to the moon.

Well I’m an English teacher and a fan of his work I’d say Washington Irving, but I think I’d have a lot more fun with Alec Baldwin.

Will Durant.

My three best choices would be hard to communicate with

Mohammed Ali can barely speak

Gerard Depardieu might be able to learn me some Русский

Johannes Kepler, well, I do have a 6" telescope, at least we could try to look at (no, I will not say it)
