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

More like Pints of Guiness, 57 pints in 1 weekend I heard

I would be competely pretentious in my dinner guest pickings. I dont recall who I picked last time so I imagine it being some old and some new.

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.

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! 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.

I like Ricky Gervais a lot actually. Woody Allen is a great choice too. Not too sure about the Marquis De Sade though!

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

Here were the ones I posted at the time .....

in no particular order.

Gautama, the Buddha
Hannibal the Great
Leonardo da Vinci
Genghis Khan
Jesus Christ
Pharoah Akhetanon
Charles Darwin
Joseph Stalin
Nelson Mandela
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.

great list miles..

Hitchcock is one of my favs, if not my fav..

and I've read up on Sartre in a few classes, and was drawn to his existentialist beliefs so i had to read deeper, and definitely a fan of his beliefs..

i could say something great about just about everyone you mentioned but those are my two favs.. nice choice

[RP33]

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 ..

This would be the best dinner party ever.. great music.. great conversation, and Audrey Hepburn "helping me in the kitchen" to prepare dessert..

Sorry to those I left off, I can only have 9 members

I'll be honored to be one of your guests.

[donnydarkoIRL]

I couldn't invite anyone from Saddo's as it would be unfair...and who knows...one day

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.
