Top 5 dinner guests - can be dead or alive

[Girl-Afraid]

So you're throwing a dinner party and you get to invite 5 people - dead or alive, famous or not, it's all up to you.

Mine are:

1) Morrissey (obviously)
2) Hitler (Controversial but interesting to find out the real reasons behind his crazy motives etc - I am pretty fascinated by this era in history)
3) Stephen Fry
4) Jane Austen
5) Victoria Wood

Now I would like to hear yours!

Hitch. Hell yeah!

I'll bet he'd have been such a charasmatic guest he'd have had fab taste in wine, cigs and whiskey

Re: Top 5 dinner guests - can be dead or alive.

all four of my Grandparents

Randy California

Spectacular Bid (we'd have to have the party outside to accomodate Bid.)

E. Howard Hunt & James Jesus Angleton- I'd be peppering them with questions about who was responsible for the assassinations of JFK & RFK. I guess this would sort of make me a rude host. Oh well, I want to know.

Agatha Christie- she'd be interesting.

Zach, Nick, and Aaron of "Ghost Adventures" (TV show on the Travel Channel)

Audrey Hepburn
Jesus Christ
Mike Joyce- I don't care about the court case. I like Mike Joyce.

-I think that's 15 guests. Cool.

4. Sam Kinison
5. Michael Caine
