Cav, Not sure I want to get drunk from pie. But it sounds good.

Gautam, I've asked exactly the opposite question on more than one occasion--Why are all the men with potential gay? C'est la vie, kid.

Letty, A 35-second play? At New York theater prices? There'd be rioting in the streets and theaters.

Sofia, I wish we could wish away hunger. The intent of the thread is for you to decide whom you'd like to have dinner with. Ten hungry African children sounds like a wonderful guest list to me. As BillW said, I wish it could be tens of millions.

George Gobel, once upon a time, had a wonderful stand-up routine wherein he gives his grandfather's recipe for preparing a Thanksgiving turkey. Two-thirds of the instructions have to do with continuing to lace the bird and the stuffing and everything else with bourbon. At the end, the advice given is to drink up the bourbon-laced gravy and discard the turkey.

Oh Roberta dear, that would be such a wonderful present, the best I ever got - if only it could just be 10's of millions instead of 100's. So sad!!!!!!!!

Awesome list Roberta and now that I've seen yours I have to throw my ex out of the #10 spot because I completely forgot about Keanu Reeves. How could I forget a hunk of burnin love like that. My ex is still sexy as hell, but I've already been there, so I'll have to take his invitation back.


Can I be the hanger on at yr party ?????


You sure can Gautam ;-)

Dinner for 2 with Wilso is also a lingering thought for sure ;-)

First thanks to SweetC for the invite back a few pages Very Happy

What I have in mind for my party is a big tub of beers and about six kinds of bourbon. The eats will be at a table inside, barbeque, dogs and potato salad and all the trimmings, but outside on the porch, sitting in a big circle, trading songs and saying "Hold on, let's see that again." are

Pete Seeger: who taught me not to be afraid of holding unpopular ideas.
Joan Baez: a voice clear as a candle flame in a darkened club.
James Taylor: I started stealing his chord changes in 1968.
Van Morrison: I just want to have some goosebump moments.
Joni Mitchell: At the big piano, or playing my Martin 12 string.
Eric Clapton: I want to hear him and Pete together. Don't you?
Roy Orbison: the candy colored clown, where did that come from?
Bonnie Raitt: The only singer who makes me cry every time.
B.B. King: If there were no blues, there would be no music.
Janis Joplin: Pass the jack, sing a little 'Bobbie Magee'.

Don't come over early, things won't really get going till about 2 in the morning when we all start trying to remember the first song we ever played that sounded like music.

Joe

Montana, An ex twice thrown? Poor guy. Keanu is a beauty. I'm sure the ex will understand.

I'm going to have to make a substitution as well. The invitations haven't gone out yet. I'm dumping Antonio for Richard Gere. Sorry Tony.

Gautam, You're more than welcome to be a hanger-on.

jjorge, Pumpkin pie with whipped cream?


Oh, sure, the ex will understand. He's a good guy ;-) Great choice on Richard Gere. If my list wasn't so pleasantly ful, I'd throw him in there as well ;-)

Well...truth be told, as the pie is baked, the alcohol burns off completely, just leaving a certain "je ne sais quoi" in terms of flavour.

If I am going to sing at Sweetie's dinner, and PDiddie is her official dinner guest, I hope he doesn't mind endless Justin Timberlake covers, his NEW material even...heh heh....just kidding. I am cool with Hatikva and tons of Celtic drinkin' songs and ballads.

Hmm...I have a feeling the 2 tbsp. of cooked off bourbon in the pie filling will not make anyone tipsy....if we share the rest of the bottle though...

I think I will start my list but not finalize it; will reevaluate as i think of more.

Right now I am thinking Marcus Aurelius and Goethe and Lucrezia Borgia, perhaps all sitting far apart. One of them will be forced to sit next to Benvenuto Cellini. Perhaps Lucrezia's dad, Pope Alexander VI. Mark Twain, thought of courtesy of JJorge post. Mary Taylor Simeti. Jane Kramer. John McPhee. William Trevor.

Yes, you are correct, sir! I am so glad you haven't begun to do any baking because PD and I want a cake with lots of whipped cream frosting. Then, we want the entire party to have LOTS of different kinds of booze, okay? We shall all get tipsy and sing and argue and have lots of fun, eh?
