The general idea of this thread is any 4 people to a dinner. Dead, alive, fiction, from a dream, fantasy, etc... I should of specified that originally. -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.

In that case, I'd definitely invite 4 inventors from early to mid 20th century science fiction, with the blueprints for their time machine and teleportation device. (I set the time period at early to mid 20th century to make sure that we could buy all necessary components in modern hardware and electronics stores.) Now I just have to remember the names of the characters... -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

Hmm, let me see, I haven't decided who I would invite, but I wouldn't mind dressing up in togas having some nice wine, and a nice buffet, a vomitorium, and a back room with a well stocked bar. OF course it would have to be in a nice emptied corner of the Palace of Versailles say a large gallery with lots of paintings and nice table cloths. :D [ Monday, August 08, 2005 15:50: Message edited by: I'll Steal Your Toast ] -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

Fictional AND dead, Spring? :P In that case... Gandalf. Eferas Cirthain. Melora. Taron Gregor Merallion.

quote:No, but you CAN beat eggs. Therefore, they are superior to Gandalf in every way. EVERY way. Ahem. I wouldn't invite my friends - I can see them anytime. Nor would I invite anyone fictional... imagine what my therapist would say when I told him I had lunch with Mary Poppins! So, my four are: Thom Yorke (Lead singer/guitarist for Radiohead) Stephen Morrisey (of "The Smiths") Tim Burton Quentin Tarantino All of them are part of the two loves of my life - music and film, and so I'd have them round to get ideas, tips etc. And to totally suck up. -------------------- "I am a living sign..."

I figured that, since there are some topics that reach the hundreds post-wise. Have there ever been any topics to hit the thousands? Funny, that I haven't even mentioned the 4 people I'd invite and I created this topic in the first place... Myself, my Mom, my Dad, and probably my grandmother (since I never knew her that well and she died when I was 2, well grandmother on my mother's side) My parents and I don't tend to eat dinner that often. They work the whole day, so it's hard to even say hello here and there.

EDIT: Looks like this wasn't very funny. Maybe that wordplay made more sence in Russian. EDIT2: As far I can tell, there was nothing inapropriate about it, but if it was bad enough to inspire "bad joke poliece report" comic, I'd save myself from the emberrasment of keeping it in the post. I quoted the post about inviting all the man-eating aliens and replied with a sentence that could mean either "guests are invited to dinner" or "guests are put on the menu".

:rolleyes: It made sense I was just poking fun at you because it was a lame joke. My apologies if you got the wrong idea by my use of "bad" instead of "lame". Fixation: Zeviz's joke: "We're having guests for dinner" the cannibal said to his wife. A better pic:  Although, all this discussion has totally ruined the effect.
