X did a thread like this a long time ago but I thought it good to try it again. So if you had a dream dinner party for 10....who would your guests be and why? It can be anyone amongst the living or dead.

X did a thread like this a long time ago but I thought it good to try it again. So if you had a dream dinner party for 10....who would your guests be and why? It can be anyone amongst the living or dead.
Lennox Lewis; cause' he's my boy;)
Bilbo; for sh#ts and giggles.
Bill Haust of the Miami Serpentarium; a legend in the snake world.
Kelly Pavlik; seems a good, humble guy who would be a good chat.
Danny G; just to see what came out of his mouth.
Floyd Mayweather; just to supply Danny G with fodder:D
Tye Fields; so I could poison him:-X
Rocky from Mask; don't ask why:-\
Bob Foster; to give respect to the dude.
Leon Spinks; to see how well he could chew the steaks I barbecue;D
Julius Rain
HitmanDonny
LEGION
Spicoli Surfs Nawlins
Saddo Himself
Bilbo
Pride Of Boston
Bookkeeper
Pacstraightleft
And of course RICKY HATTON TO PROVIDE THE ENTERTAINMENT ;D
Sorry to those I left off, I can only have 9 members :-\
Damn, I was going to add Ricky Hatton and left him off. I'll trade Rocky from Mask and put Ricky in his place. I want to see how much food that dude can consume at one sitting:D
More like Pints of Guiness, 57 pints in 1 weekend I heard :DQuote:

1) William Burroughs - Anyone who can describe language as a virus and use it as a means of expression is alright by my book
2) Alfred Hitchcock - Ive become a complete Hitchcock buff and have over 30 of his films on DVD now. Made a dozen films that are nothing less than exceptional
3) Van Gogh - Great painter and seemingly very volatile to boot. No absinthe at this dinner party!!
4) Noam Chomsky - The godfather of modern linguistics and has an opinion on every event of recent times.
5) Bill Murray - Perfect deadpan delivery. My favourite comedic actor alive today.
6) Peter Cook - Probably the greatest funny man ever.
7) Oscar Wilde - A slim line Steven Fry! Had some wit and a way with words.
8) Jean Paul Sartre - Exponent of existentialism and not afraid to venture forth opinions about issues of the day.
9) Liam Gallagher - Just so Chomsky can be proven wrong about the concept of Universal Grammar! ;D Nah, Gallagher is just comical in all the wrong ways. God help us all if Van Gogh smuggles in some absinthe and shares it with this one.
10) Steve Coogan - Alan Partridge is sheer genious. Enough said.
Ive just noticed that in the bottom related threads that it was X who started the similar thread from before and not me at all. I posted in there but did not come up with it. My faulty memory.
I will change the main posting to acknowledge that.
1. Ricky Gervais
2. Larry David
3. Woody Allen
4. King Henry VIII (Slim Version)
5. Marquis De Sade
6. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson
7. Hank Williams Sr.
8. Cole Younger
9. William Henry McCarty a.k.a. Billy The Kid
10. Jesse James
I like Ricky Gervais a lot actually. Woody Allen is a great choice too. Not too sure about the Marquis De Sade though! ;DQuote:

eh, I'll try to think of 7 more, none of you people :o
George Martin
Gob from Arrested Devolopment, I don't know his name
James Toney
I was thinking of including a Beatle but George Martin is a very good alternative. James Toney. Need one say more? ;DQuote:

i could say something great about just about everyone you mentioned but those are my two favs.. nice choice
i love/hate making lists like these because i always end up wanting to change my answer, but it's still fun to do.. here goes..
1.) John Lennon
2.) Jim Morrison
3.) Eric Clapton
4.) Jesse Lacey (my favorite song writer..)
The 4 above mentioned would make ridiculously amazing music and provide the soundtrack for the night..
5.) Hunter S. Thompson
6.) David Lynch - i'd pester him all night to tell me what Mulholland Drive is about :)
7.) Alfred Hitchcock (not to steal Miles answer or anything.. but i'd REALLY want him to be there..
8.) Chuck Palahniuk
9.) and someone from political history.. like Karl Marx or Thomas Paine to make some sense of the world today..
10.) Audrey Hepburn - sitting right next to myself, acting as my date for the night :D..
This would be the best dinner party ever.. great music.. great conversation, and Audrey Hepburn "helping me in the kitchen" to prepare dessert..
Come to Liverpool and the beatles are everywhere. We even have an airport named after John Lennon :rolleyes:Quote:

Don't worry about little things like that, this was a fun topic.Quote:

Raleights (or Violent Demise as long as he's not vegetarian)
I would also ask Hitler, but only for coffee as I would not want him around while I was eating.
I certainly am :rolleyes:....;DQuote:

When I went on holiday (Vacation) to the US and I say I'm from Liverpool, Yanks always associate it with the Beatles and nothing else haha.
Love the show! The commercial's for it are hilarious!Quote:

haha, I don't know anyone, literally anyone, else that likes that show. I've seen every episode, in fact I've got to finish up some school stuff so I can see the new one tonight.
The commercials are good.
I would have.
1. Mario Moreno 'Cantinflas'
2. Robin Williams
3. Robert Nesta Marley
4. 2 Pac
5. Raquel Welch - Just for the :bananasex:
6. Jessica Beil - Just as a cum disposer
7. Marylin Monroe aka. Norma Jean - See above
8. Audrey Hephurn - See above
9. Salvador Sanchez
10. Guest of Honor: Bill Clinton
I'd imagine Raquel after 3 glasses of Johnnie Walker she'd be a good girl. :lickish:
It's tough to narrow it down to only 10. Though I'd probably just pick friends and family to be honest.
1. John Lennon
2. Jesus
3. Aristotle
4. Erwin Rommel
5. George Bush - so I could poison his salad
6. Winston Churchill
7. Dimebag Darrell
8. Teddy Atlas - for the analogies if nothing else.
9. Chief Geronimo or maybe Tecumseh, one of the great Native chiefs
10. Franz Boaz
I'll be honored to be one of your guests. ;DQuote:

But anyway...
1) Muhammad Ali....a great pugilist and a great man.
2) Martin Luther King....So he could be heard once again and see what he helped achieve.
3) Ray Robinson...Walker Smith Jr. Just to have another great there.
4) My Grandmother....Although If we could have her back for one day I know I'd spend all my time takling to her and neglect the rest of my guests.
5) Willie McBride....A boy soldier immortalised in an Irish ballad, killed in the rebellion. Would love to see how whe feels about his fame.
6) William Butler Yeats.....Most of his poetry was written or based on the estate about ten miles from my home. I'd love to discus his inspiration and poetry.
7) Al Capone.....Scarface would probably be ignorant, rude and quarrelsome, but just to keep it "gangsta"
8.)Al Pacino...One of my favourite actors, alongside De Niro. Fabulous sense of humour.
9) David Jason...To British it up a little.
10)Dan Rafael...I disagree with him a lot. Banter would ignite into a full blown debate I think.
1. Laura Vandervoort
2. Jane Monheit
3. Ivanka Trump
4. Yana Gupta
5. Heidi Montag
6. Angelina Jolie
7. Scout Taylor-Compton
8. Elena Santarelli
9. Linda O'Neil
10. Ana Carolina Da Fonseca
I only know Angelina Jolie. The rest, will be for you to research.
O.k., I'm going to redo my list and put a little more thought into it:D
Lennox Lewis; my man:cool:
Joseph Stalin; already been used by a couple of people, but that guy I have read and studied much. A morbid fascination with him and his iron rule over Russia.
Idi Amin; another psycho who liked to entertain himself by feeding prisoners to his pet crocodiles, or so I've read:-\
Bob Foster; an underappreciated, great fighter who I'd like to make a toast to.
Satan; just to chat with the Old One.
Bruce Lee{the real one}; one intense, bad mofo.
Reinhard Heydrich; a sick, twisted man who pretty much was the architect of the Holocaust. Would love to pick his brain to see why he did what he did to millions.
Morgan Freeman; one of the greatest actors of all time IMO.
Pontius Pilate; to see how he's doing after all these years:D
Vlad the Impaler, the original dracula:cool:
After thinking about it I wouldnt invite anybody I had not met might be a let down. So heres my list put them together it would be some night. Hugh McIevenny, John Rendell ,Paul Dorking ,, Eddie Futch,Ali, David Warren ,Dave Claxton, Sylvester Mittee ,, Prince Charles Bernard Manning that would be some night.
Well I would rather have my regular drinking buddies and family at the table but for conversation and to be a part of the thread here's my list.
1. General George S. Patton
2. Napoleon Bonaparte
3. Ceasar Augustus
4. General George Washington
5. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
6. Ronald Reagan
7. John D. Rockefeller
8. Winston Churchill
9. General William 'Wild Bill' Donovan
10. Robert E. Lee
That would be one list if I was wanting to be serious during my dinner conversation.
I would love to have others though one with famous gangsters or entertainers or religious figures or famous athletes but honestly when it comes down to it I'd rather just like to see break bread with family members either who I never met or ones who have passed away during my lifetime, that would mean more to me and I would feel more comfortable in their company.
Jesse Lacey, who writes some of Brand New's stuff?Quote:
