Dinner Guest

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Sat Sep 24, 2005 6:40 am

Given the choice of anyone in the world (dead or alive) whom would you choose as your dinner guest ?

(acc, I already know what your going to say so forget it) :wah:

What a lovely idea Nomad.

If this person were alive, there is only one person I would want for dinner, that hunk of a governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. He can always tell me "I'll be back!" as often as he wants!

If it were some deceased, Alexander the Great, one of my favorite persons in history. I would have a million and one questions to ask him. I wrote my senior thesis on him, and would talk to him forever.

My Dad.

To talk to him one more time and say Goodbye properly, he died far too young at the age of 65.:-1

Im truly surprised by your Arnold choice. Not sure why but I am.

Because I think he is great man, and I have always loved him in the movies. And it is a running gag around the family about him. I move out of L.A. right when he runs for governor! I have never put up voting signs, but would have plastered the place for him. I would have voted for him, glad he is running again.

My two sons have always been jealous of him-because I think he is a hunk! They say something deragatory everytime a movie of his is on, and it makes me laugh. It makes a mom feel good to keep her sons hopping for their attention once in awhile, when it doesn't involve washing dishes or cleaning up after them!

I dont watch his movies and I dont think hes a hunk but it seems as if hes doing a pretty fair job as Gov, albeit being a Republican somewhat of a stumbling point.

Alexander would my choice for you as a guest though.

See, not all of us Republicans are jerks! A few even make OK leaders.

Wow this is a hard one. I'd love to speak with Albert Einstein, because he was more of the playful-crazy type of genius, rather than the psychotic crazy type of genius. I'm sure he has some thoughts and ideas up his sleeve that never got fleshed out and I'd love to hear them.

On the other hand, I think it would be amazingly hysterical to have dinner with Robert Goulet. He's so over-the-top it's fantastic. Ah, choices!

I have some very valid reasons, and as far as being Republican goes I'm as leftist as you can get without crossing the fence into Liberal-Land. But that's probably more of a private discussion if you're really weeping your heart out over it : )

Honestly I dont follow party lines. I always end up in the middle somewhere, I vote on issues and the man (or woman) (we need more women running for office)

People who vote strict party have blinders on in my opinion.

Rush would be a good example ! One of the most narrow minded people breathing today.

A split between Bruce Lee , if he's not available his son Brandon .

I also would love to shot the breeze with Freud.

I agree. I've voted multiple ways. I'm just saying my views tend to be a wee bit conservative.

I DO hate Rush. I hate him hate him hate him. I remember when he would hang up on callers who disagreed with him. He's a hipocrite, but then you don't get on National Talk Radio by being a fair and moderate person. No one would listen to that.

Pass the potatoes, please. Would you ever consider not voting out of protest?

This ham is delicious!

Shadrack Boaz. He was a grandfather on my father's side who lived in Verginia in the 1700s. He was a military man and that's about all I know. I would like to know more.

Some people get tired of being manipulated by our so-called two-party system, and disgusted with other parties who won't support a candidate because they know they won't win anyway. So, rather than voting for the lesser of 2 Republicrats, they only mark "none of the above" where available, and do not cast votes otherwise.

Peas?

actionfigurestepho · Post by **actionfigurestepho** » Tue Sep 27, 2005 7:20 am

Never done that, but I can understand people who do. It can be hard to know who to vote for because the media will publish what it wants to. Or what it's PAID to. Although with the internet, we can always look up how a particular candidate voted on issues near and dear to us, and that should give us an idea of whether they're the type of leader we want or not. Yay for Google!

How generously kind of u Honney thanks!

I would love to have the sadly departed Bruce Lee as my guest, because he was such an inspiration for so many people including myself, and managed to achieve so much in his short life, that I would love to talk to him about.

I'd have John peel ( Dead brit radio dj ) Loved his radio shows and always found his voice stangely soothing and cosy.

The brain behind barney the dinosaur ( purple mindwarper ) so I could poison them with a dodgy fish salad.

Dick van dyke so I could listen to his impression of a cockney accent :yh_rotfl

Wellington and napoleon, i'd get them both in sumo suits and let them scrap it out
