If you could have dinner with any famous person

[SusanNorton]

Mel Brooks.

 

[CriticAndProud]

If I could pick a few, these would probably be some of mine. Eclectic choices, but I have a method to my madness.

SK (of course)
Roger Moore (witty and charming, my favourite Bond)

Oh, and Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding. That would be classic.

I can think of one other at the moment, but I think that would be a bit controversial (to say the least), so I'll leave it at that.

 

[Bryan James]

Myself 30 years ago. Try to talk some sense into that damn fool.

Before he got even more damn fool.

 

[Ragan]

Stephen King or Eddie Vedder, probably. They would be my top choices. Or Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

 

[doowopgirl]

Kieth Richards.

 

[SutterKane]

Ray Rice, just so I could ask , man to man, what that idiot was thinking throwing his life away over that stupidity. This dude not only did something despicable, that's bad enough, but he compounded the problem by being the only moron in the history of the NFL to leave a videotaped account of the incident. They should give him 2 years in prison for the assault and an additional 2 for aggravated idiocy in the first degree. I'd just like the chance to ask him if it was worth it.

My co worker has been in the van talking about this for the last 2 days straight, he's a Ravens fan lol

Charles Manson, Ted Kaczynski, John Lennon and Jesus.

Peace.

Why Manson and Kaczynski? I'm curious.

The comedy factor. Have you ever heard the things that comes out of those guys mouths

I read The Unabomber's Manifesto once, it's like the Mel Gibson character from Conspiracy Theory came to life and wrote a book.

Hi!

Both Manson and Kaczynski are both incredibly intelligent.

While Manson is intelligent in a self-taught street wise manner his grasp of psychology and sociology is stunning. I watched and studied all his interviews. He is very wily and manipulative. He likes to fr*ck with people's head and he *acts* crazy but he is not crazy/insane. I don't remember who the interviewer was but s/he asked Manson why he thought he, Manson, was still in prison after so many decades and Manson (after making faces and speaking gibberish) answered (something to the effect) "Because you need me here. People need me to be here. Society needs me to be here." Interviewer, "Why are you needed here (in prison)?" Manson, "It make you feel safer. It makes people feel safer. 'That murderer is in prison. Locked away forever. I'm safe to take little Susie and Johnny to school and they will be safe.' I am the monster, locked up so society feels safe."
His childhood was so screwed up and he was a gentle/injured soul but in his childhood his sensitivity left him open to feel pain much deeper than most people. He was made a monster. (The society that NEEDS for him to be in prison is the society that made him a monster.)
Not that I could ever crack his facade but it would be fascinating to watch him.

Ted-because he was/is a genius and the very intelligence that was a *gift* tore open that beautiful mind by showing him *technology* would bring around the end of mankind. Technology would be the death of mankind. He believes he saw that truth and he had to try and stop it in violence. I don't know if his finding the *truth* of mankind end or not being able to stop it was drove him mad...actually not insane...schizophrenic or it was the schizophrenia that showed him the *truth*.

There's a fine line between genius and madness. The pathological mind is simply facsinating to me.

But I'm a goof so...

Have a great weekend!

Peace.

Very interesting responses - gracias, señora. It hadn't occurred to me to consider an Infamous Incarcerated as a dinner guest.

There goes the fava bean and Chianti idea.

Alice Cooper. He seems like such a genuine person, and he has a great story to tell...

What a great choice! Yes!
