Who would you have to dinner?

[Phuzion]

This is a question asked of me by Jucas: If you could have three people to dinner from any time in history, and language was of no consiqunce, who would they be?

So, I'm curious who you all would have at your table. Post 'em if you got 'em.

Personally, I would have:

Siddhartha Gautama Buddha
Jeff Buckley
Bruce Lee.

Someone pick up the baton, it's your turn...

[Erik]

Leonardo da Vinci
Rembrandt
Rodin

[davi]

Toulouse Lautrec
Chuck Palahniuk
Bill Gates

[Hanuka]

The Terminator :O

naaw,
i think I'd like to have dinner with

Stanley Kubrik
Kurt Cobain
Goethe


But everyone you mentioned so far would be interesting as well... Rembrandt, Lautrec, Rodin, Bruce Lee :D

ps: maybe add natalie portman :P

[John]

He nice, Jeff Buckley.

Well, i guess for me it'd be

Mike Patton
Jesus
Amanda Peet

Hmmm... Amanda Peet... I kicked Thom Yorke from the list just for you, Amanda... hey... HEY! Wait! Where're you going!? AMAAAANDAAAAAA!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

-OK, Thom, 20:00 is fine? Yeah, ok, bring some beer while your on your way.

[sparth]

(my co-workers told me say that) :D

lets add chloe jones and crissy moran :p

[cybercyst]

I've noticed a lot of people have invited Jesus, but...do we have evidence that he actually existed? (there I said it):rolleyes:

[Devilock138]

That depends on what evidence would suffice I guess. That is to say there's lineage, dates, places, historical figures all in the christian greek and it corrosponds to historical facts and whatnot (thank you History Channel) that you could find in a library.

[Vimmzy]

afaik there is evidence that there was a guy named jesus, a carpenter roaming that area at that time speaking about special things.. we have no evidence that he was the son of god conceived by a maiden etc.. that is just fanfiction or something :D

i wouldinvite
Bengt Lindvall (my mothers late father - never met the guy)
Jeff Buckley (after all he is just another genious unlike the rest of them.)
and after 5 min pondering about the third i have no idea whatsoever, maybe the actress that plays queen amidala in starwars.. :D or maybe hitler or maybe einstein or maybe van gogh or maybe da vinci or maybe jack the ripper or maybe gandhi or maybe name one and i will probably add him/her...

[Phuzion]

what about Miyamoto Musashi, or Moses? And nobody has said Shakespear yet... he would be a riot I'm sure. Ooo..what about Bodidharma? He created kung fu... so in essence, he created martial arts... he would be pretty intriguing I think. Anywho, just some thoughts ;p Peace

[Nadim]

- Khufu (Cheops)
- Napoleon Bonaparte
- Le Corbusier


And would like to be invited to sparth's dinner table .

[NoUseFrAName]

ack! I've been mulling this over in my head so much(as though it might actually happen!) lol

Honourable mentions dinner:
My dad
Lao Tsu
Leonardo Da Vinci

-Rob

[skvv]

Trent Reznor
Will Ferrell
A Homeless guy (cuz it's always good to give the homeless a good meal... uh, and he would make me look less like a loser).

[schmu_20mol]

just three is hard...

Eddie Murphy (gotta love 'Raw')
Adolf Hitler
Edward 'Blackbeard' Teach (yeah the pirate)

I can imagine some really interesting discussions

damnit ... had to left Rachael Leigh Cook out ....aargh

[Flint]

Hitler
Atilla
Stalin

make em fight WWF style for dinner... Sell PPV rights and cash in.


Or another way you could go with that would be :

Caligula
Marquis De Sade
Virgin Mary

Lights camera action

[weirdwes]

If I was being bad:
Angelina Jolie
Christina Aguliera
Brintey Spears

If I we being good:
Mandy Moore
Hillary Duff (she needs to age a little though)
Rachael Leigh Cooke

If I was being artistic:
Bart Sears
Travis Charest
The guy that did those realist kingdom books

If I was being comedic:
Bruce Campbell
Jay
Silent Bob (not the actors, but the characters themselves.)

And finally if I just had to choose 3 with no mood in mind:
Albertin Einstein
Nostradamus
Thomas Edison.

weirdwes' answer inspired me--I would definitely invite Kevin Smith because I think he's freakin' HOT in a cuddly teddy bear kinda way, and he has funny yet inspiring stuff to say.

Socrates (because he was so damned smart and creative)
Salvador Dali (because he was so damned smart and creative)

[TASmith]

I'd enjoy talking with Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, and Ghengis Khan and showing them what the worlds they conquered turned into.

I'd also enjoy talking with Bach, Corelli, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoveen and showing them what music has turned into. It'd be interesting to gauge their responses.

Shut Up Woman, Get on My Horse
Randis (come on... who doesn't wanna have dinner with Randis right now?)

Any of the ladies here on CA,
Tom Schole,
Min Yum,
Michele Chang,
and possibly....Shaka Zulu.

I don't really have any important dead historical figures I really want to meet. Now if could pick a time period to go back to, I'd go back to Japan...from about 1667 to 1867 when they shut their doors to the outside world.

[DavidSmit]

Bougureau, Michelangelo and Bill Gates.

[Dorkthrone]

Mike Patton
Carl Sagan
Kurt Vonnegut
Douglas Adams

[carlosranna]

Sun Tzu and John Lennon.

I would also invite Jesus, but it´s just because he would multiply the fish and turn water into wine. So i guess it would be a long night with a lot of wine. Me and Sun Tzu talking about war, John and Jesus talking about peace.

We could see what would happen when we all get drunk with all that wine... =D

[Daniel Andrews]

David Finch (Director)
Ian McCaig
Guy Ritche

[Farvus]

Plácido Domingo
José Carreras
Luciano Pavarotti

We would eat dinner and sing together :D.

GrNb-8v7jUs

For entertainment I'd invite Glenn Beck and George Carlin. I have a feeling that conversation would be a classic. As my date, Rachel McAdams comes to mind (among others).

[BlightedArt]

Jesus
Hitler

And any referee with 2 pairs of boxing gloves handy.

[Ghostbrush]

myself, but a younger version, got a lot to say to him

[CKLamb]

An ancestor, doesn't matter which but one from the medieval era would be great.

[alesoun]

Friends that I get on well with... by all reports, some of the artists I admire have REALLY strange tastes in what they'd eat!

[LORD M]

Josef Stalin
Winston Churchill
Adolf Hitler



Intresting combination.

[Kamikazebob]

Coro's Mustache.
Marko's Monster Hair
John Bauer
Ivan Albright

[Coen]

Picking just three comes close to impossibility, but I did it:

Tom Waits
Earl Hines
Epicurus

[Hyskoa]

I'd enjoy talking with Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, and Ghengis Khan and showing them what the worlds they conquered turned into.

I'd also enjoy talking with Bach, Corelli, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoveen and showing them what music has turned into. It'd be interesting to gauge their responses.

That's easy, they'd all get heart attacks.

And me it'd be..
Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Rubens.

First two for their manner of painting, third one for his compositional and anatomic knowledge.

[PieterV]

Hmmm, Nietzsche, Stephen Hawking and Duchamp (if I had to choose an artist).
Ones I'm thinking of just now... probably would have to have a date aswell...
