Top 5 You'd Invite to Dinner

[Sulkdodds]

This is a cliche but I'd honestly really like to meet Shakespeare. Because he'd so evidently be an awesome guy. He'd be all like "so I went to Blackfriars and went to this whorehouse and this punk was screaming 'god! **** me! **** me like a legislator!' and then I had the idea to write Measure For Measure."

 

[Polaris]

I wonder if William Gibson is actually interesting in person?

I read his blog and he's definitely an awesome guy.

 

[PoeticRocker]

that would be one lonely dinner

-dodo

lol yeah. Death wouldnt have much to say. God wouldnt have much to say. Jesus would probably get annoying. I dont know what Santa would talk about besides Christmas. And the easter bunny would just be cute while nibbling at the food.

Aaron Turner (ISIS and a bazillion other bands, fantastic artist, huge influence to me)
Richard D James (Aphex Twin, would like to hear more from the man instead of some reviewer/journalist bugging him)
Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse, very interesting man who I imagine has a whole host of tales under his belt)
David Simon (writer of Homicide, The Corner, The Wire, Generation Kill, always enjoy reading his interviews in the Guardian, and I need some sort of event to blabber on uncontrolably about my love for all of his books/shows)
Terry Pratchett (need I say more?)

I imagine the banter between all five would be awesome.

Uh huh...

 

[knut]

Uh huh...

I'm not sure if you're implying I would be just as bad, or if you're just adding to the list in agreement.

 

[Vegeta897]

So explain to me why you think he'd take a fanboy any more seriously than an interviewer?

Well, a casual meal usually implies casual conversation and considering this is nothing more than a simple forum question over the internet, I sprinkled a little bit of make believe over my answer. If he was coming to my house to eat my food, I'd expect the two of us to chat - much different to me hounding him in the street whilst shoving a microphone in his face and asking him when he's going to release another Analord.

I don't take kindly to the term fanboy either, thanks. I'm a fan, but I'm not stark raving mad over the guy. I just think he'd be interesting to talk to.

That alright?

 

[Vegeta897]

Well maybe you should chill out.

 

[knut]

SO EXPLAIN TO ME FANBOY

is kind of hostile, man.

 

[Vegeta897]

You should know better. (than to take me seriously)

The Thin White Duke - Throws darts in lover's eyes.

Jane Austen - It's a truth universally acknowledged that a table of four must be in need of a early 19th Century Woman Novelist.

Christopher Marlowe - After having called him 'Will' for a bit, you could fill some really interesting gaps in his life.

Hayao Miyazaki - see below

Walt Disney - Various good reasons for this. Seeing them talk about animation would be pretty interesting, but you'd get one hell of a cranky old man conversation out of these two, and you could build a swing-o-meter showing 'Disney loves all races' versus 'Disney likes races that stop main feature production for a decade by bombing Pearl Harbour slightly less than he loves other races'.

there's a saying round my hometown; "don't take vegeta seriously"

 

[Ennui]

they say that in my hometown too, although people often tack "and he smells like poop too" on the end.

The cast of Whose Line Is It Anyway

I agreed with the rest of your post, but I feel the need to quote this to show how much I agreed with this bit.

I should look into that.

 

[Sombra Negra]

David Bowie, Stephen Fry, Reginald D Hunter (his voice is like pure honey), Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett. Either them or [next person to post]'s mum, we'll have enough fun for 5 people if you get my drift.
