Jesus Christ, Sam Adams, George Washingon.
But that's just tonight, and based upon recent reading. Ask again a couple of weeks from now and I'd probably answer differently.
Note that if I had not already found and married a lovely wife, that list would be very, very different...
<G> Great response! That reminds me of a video I saw while at Kermit Weeks' "Fantasy of Flight" aviation museum in Polk City, FL. It was a short film documenting the restoration of a rare P-51C for his collection. He had it painted in the personal colors of Lee Archer, the famous WWII Tuskegee Airman. After seeing "his" Mustang take to the air again, Lee offered this toast to Kermit:
"If we all had tickets to Heaven
And you didn't have one too
We'd give our tickets to someone else
And go to Hell with you"
Fellow Freepers, that about sums up the way I feel about all of you.
Well, you could always have a second dinner party. PS...have you found a cook yet.
I cook well. And the guests I'd love to have are:
Barbara, GHW, GW, and Laura Bush
Ayn Rand
Winston Churchill
Hitler
Ernest Hemingway
PJ O'Rourke
JC Watts
Colin Powell
Condoleeza Rice
Margaret Thatcher
Ronald Reagan
In no particular order.
Julia Child, Justin Wilson, and Graham Kerr.
Carlo, perhaps?
Thanks, Hope, for today's Pledge. Such an important start to the day. Thanks to you too, Fawnn.
LOL! Only 3! You will have to have a second dinner party.
LOL! Rules for your dinner party.....3 guests.
This does not preclude a second and third party at a later date.
Teddy Roosevelt, Jim Robinson, Tony Orlando.
Don't ask me why.
Karen Hughes, George W. Bush, and, depending on who'd be willing to pick up the tab, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, or Michelle Malkin ;)
(I'm assuming that W will bring Laura with him.)
Well, just damn! Three, huh? The fist dinner party would be: Ayn Rand, Hitler and Winston Churchill.
The second dinner party would be: W, his Mama and Ronald Reagan.
The third dinner party would be: GHW, Condoleeza Rice, PJ O'Rourke
The fourth dinner party would be: Margaret Thatcher, Hemingway and JC Watts
After that, who cares? I would want each of these persons to be present in their prime.
Aside from all that, I am a fantastic cook. They would have a real treat waiting for them.
G'night all. I hope I awaken to a red map in the morning.
Winston Churchill, Adm. James Stockdale and Benjamin Franklin.
I am having dinner with two extraordinarily liberal women tomorrow night. I love them both dearly, and respect them, but...they HATE GWB. I hope he wins, not to rub it in or make my life easier, but because it is the best thing for our country.
Making my life easier tomorrow night would just be a nice side effect of a GWB win.
Actually, she picked up a bug/virus of some kind in the Valley, and her parents decided it was time to come home and take care of her.
Fine by me!! Wow, I had no idea how much I missed my little darling!
Reading this far, I guess I didn't read the opener close enough. I classified "anybody" as somebody living.
AND, I didn't include FReepers because I remain optimistic that we'll all meet Someday™.
But otherwise, gosh! Ronald Reagan and so many other historic people, like all of our founding fathers. I know I'll meet Jesus someday, too, but maybe meeting Him face to face would help give me a clue about correct paths (more so than carrying Him in my heart does). ;)
