"The most interesting man in the world" commericial.
"His words carry a weight that would break a less interesting man's jaw."
"He's a lover, not a fighter; but he's also a fighter, so don't get any ideas."
"He is the life of parties he has never attended."
"His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man's entire body."
"He can speak French... in Russian."
"He once punched a magician. That's right. You heard me."
"If he were to punch you in the face, you would have to fight off the strong urge to thank him."
"If he patted you on the back, you would put it on your resume."
"He once taught a dog to bark... in Spanish."
"He bowls overhanded."
"Sharks have a week dedicated to him."
"He lives vicariously... through himself."
"He once had an awkward moment, just to see what it felt like."
"When in Rome, they do as he does."
So he would invite himself?
If Jim Thompson's not on the list it's not a dinner party ...
it's just a wine and cheeser.
Only one politician?
Would love to see obama’s list of marxist he’d love to dine with.
Darwin would be boring at a dinner party. He’d spend the whole evening grouping items in the bread basket by size and color.
Last, but not least, because we've ALWAYS been able to trust the NY Times....
I dare say that Gingrich either KNOWS or DOES NOT KNOW what Darwin taught, and what that implies. Either possibility is frightening.
Then I'd have Cleopatra.
Then I'd have three big goons to keep my wife away. lol
kidding!
Steve Allen's "Meeting of the Minds" had Darwin, but never dared go there...
"I hear you Mister Winston Churchill but you CANNOT inhabit my mind... which is circular... and your potentialisms can visit but they are not welcome to stay. No! I don't need anymore wine, Charles Darwin!! I know about the vestibules of your particular genus! My inner sanctum has eeeevolved and is safe from your penetrations of degeneration!!"
All of his picks are dead. That would make for an awkward (and very quiet) dinner party. They did say living or dead, but I think I’d stick with inviting all living, as having corpses brought in would make the living guests more uncomfortable.
