Rebecca and I were having a nice chat the other day about what authors living or dead we would love to sit down to dinner with. I had quite the ecclectic selection LOL! But it got me to thinking. What 7 people would you pick to spend an evening with living or dead?

My selection:
Elvis (no surprise to anyone I'm sure!)
Alex O'Loughin--actor
Cher--you all know who she is
Joey Hill--author
Toni Blake/Lacey Alexander--author dual pen names
William Wallace--in his kilt please--traditional style
Guy Fieri or Bobby Flay--it's a tough toss up (I hope one of them is making dinner)

Now this is why--well Elvis is The King! and Cher is like my long time idol and wouldn't it be devine to hear the two of them do a duet? Especially He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother?

Alex O'Loughlin strictly to look at because he's the most handsome man (next to Elvis of course) I've ever seen!

Joey and Toni/Lacey because I love their books, they make me think, they make me discover new things about myself and usually they make me cry.

William Wallace because he's in a kilt with nothing on underneath and he's Scottish and Brave as heck! (get it Braveheart--Brave as heck?!)

Guy or Bobby--because I just love, love, LOVE both of them! And I know they know how to cook anything and everything!

How about anyone else?
 
OOh this is a toughie!

1. Rachel Carson - my idol when I was growing up
2. Bill Cosby - love him!
3. Jerry Lewis - love him! And maybe Dean Martin would show up!
4. Charles Darwin - I wanna probe that mind!
5. My great-great-grandparents (mom's mom's dad's side of the family) who came over to the US from Wales with 12 children - I seem to be stuck at them and can't get further back in history
 
I was gonna say all my deceased pets (God I miss them) but you said people

1. Steve Irwin
2. Any Native American alive in the wild west
3. My Dads parents (they were deceased before I was born)
4. Cassie Edwards and Rosanne Bittner (romance authors)
5. Christopher Columbus (I wonder what it was like to discover new land)
6. Tim Russert (he just seemed like a really nice guy)
 
1. JFK
2. John Lennon (got to tell him I named my doggy after him!)
3. President Obama
4. MLK, Jr.
5. Lincoln

Gotta have all the greats on the list!

Well, some anyway. :)

Laurie, strangely enough, someone I have always wanted to meet was William Wallace. Giving your life for freedom? What an extraordinary man.

Others would be:
1) J.F. Chapman
2) Ronald Reagan
3) Clint Eastwood, especially after just seeing Gran Torino. Was a so-so fan of his before, but now? The man can walk on water.
4) Paul Newman, who was such a humble guy and had a great love for children.
5) Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna and her family, what a huge, huge tragedy there.
6) I read a book called, if I remember right, Lonesome Dove. It's an old western type book about women who were forced into prostitution to survive. I'd like to meet some of the women in that book. They were absolutely amazing.

There are more, but there's a few.
 
I could write a dozen of these lists.... wow.

1. Madalyn Murray O'Hair
2. President Obama
3. Dave Matthews
4. John Adams
5. My high school Civics teacher, Mr. Hamilton
 
Reviving this thread, because I forgot to post in it :hammer:. I'd also like to say that I'm excluding deceased friends/family from the list because if I didn't they would take up all the spaces.

1. J.K. Rowling
2. John Steinbeck
3. Kurt Cobain
4. William Shakespeare
5. Charles Darwin

Assuming I wouldn't die of Awesome-overload, that would prove a most delightful dinner.
 
1. Chester Bennington of Linkin Park - I have been obsessed with him since I was in the 8th grade. I've been 4 ft away from him before, but never got to talk to him and would die to.
2. Johnny Depp
3. Kurt Cobain
4. Coby Dick of Papa Roach - I love his energy! He's not very nice, I've met him before and he was a complete arse towards me, but I'd still like to spend time with him.
5. My biological mother...
 
1) Abraham Lincoln (I want to know if he really had a high, squeaky voice like I read)
2) MLK, Jr.
3) Ayn Rand (author of Atlas Shrugged, which is eerily like what's happening today)
4) Will Smith (very classy guy, not to mention adorable!)
5) Nostradamus (I want to know how he came up with all of those predictions)
6) William Shakespeare (just to find out who he really was)
7) My great grandfather, whom I never met (a bootlegger and a scoundrel, but very
interesting guy!)

I could go on for pages, but you did say seven.
 
1) Paul McCartney
2) Margaret "Molly" Tobin Brown
3) William Shakespeare
4) Van Gogh (before the lead got to him)
5) Robert Pattinson--I'd put duct tape over his mouth and just sit and stare...gotta have some eye candy.
 
1) Steve Irwin
2) Neil Armstrong
3) Jane Goodall
4) Ellen DeGeneres
5) My great grand father... he passed when I was really young but seems really cool in home videos.
 
1. Marilyn Monroe (I absolutely love her!)
2. Freddie Mercury (One of the greatest singer/song writers IMO)
3. Seth Rogen (He's an awesome actor and seems like a really cool guy to hang with, LOL)
4. Charlie Chaplin (he's my MOST favorite Actor/comedian of all time. I actually had to do an oral report in school about him and literally had to dress up like him aswell! He seems like a VERY interesting person.)
5. Russell Brand (He's a british comedian thats just helarious.)
 
Ha no one else noticed she said 5 in the title and then listed 7? Sneaky :)

1. God
2. Paul Walker (hhhhhooooottttt)
3. Queen Elizabeth
4. Teddy Roosevelt
5. Oprah

Sounds like a well rounded crowd
 
Sneaky is as sneaky does---Ha! Ha!

I tried to cheat by having Bobby Flay or Guy Fieri there cooking dinner for us!!!
