View Full Version : Historical figures you would like to invite for supper. Criminal 11-20-2004, 02:26 PM Suppose you had a great supper where you could invite historical figures. Who would you invite? I would invite the following: Moses Jesus Mohammid Cleopatra Julius Cesar Lao Tsu St. Augustine Budda Emelian Pugachev Lenin Stalin Hitler WC Fields The Three Stooges Dogberry 11-20-2004, 03:08 PM Vlad the impaler. I heard he was a riot. Stone 11-20-2004, 06:51 PM 1.ghandi 2.hitler 3.jesus 4.lenin 5.G. Washington 6.Jefferson 7.Clinton 8.ML King Jr. 9.Hamilton 10.Regan 11.W 12.Ho Chi Minh in that order+ translators. I think that would make for some interesting conversation! general_motors 11-20-2004, 08:36 PM Che Guevara Henry VIII T E Lawrence Jack Kerouac Marshall McLuhan John Lennon Ronald Reagan Martin Luther King Peter Sellers Carl Jung John F Kennedy Andy Kaufman Unrepresented 11-20-2004, 08:37 PM Jeffrey Dahmer. themistocles 11-21-2004, 06:28 AM I'll settle with Edmund Burke and Ronald Reagan. Ponycar_302 11-21-2004, 06:48 AM The Three Stooges Larry and Moe are a given, but which third Stooge? Curly, Shemp, or Joe? I'd pick Curly. Knowing you it's probably Bush, Cheney, Powell. :| Powerboss 11-22-2004, 04:01 AM Lenin Stalin Hitler Why? eeper69 11-22-2004, 04:04 AM John Holmes....no explanation needed :D Ironweed 11-22-2004, 09:26 AM Marcus Aurelius Herman Hesse Nietzsche Thomas Jefferson Charles Lindbergh Jane Austen Julian the Apostate St. Paul John Locke Lucretia Borgia Machiavelli Sun-Tzu William Shakespeare No dictators allowed (Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, etc.), as they tend to do nothing but spout monologues. I want an enjoyable dinner, not a boring one. If anyone else gets out of hand (e.g. Julian and St. Paul going off about religion) I'll simply have Lucretia Borgia poison them. ;) Stone 11-22-2004, 05:22 PM Why? I chose hitler and lenin because of their profound effect on the 20th century. I think hitler would be a wacky ****er and i would probably like to pick up some of his skills as an orator. Plus there's no doubt he would have problems with MLK, another passionate and skilled orator. The argument would be tremendous. I chose lenin just for the (hopefully) interesting conversation. I like the revolutionary aspect of his life, and I would just like to hear his side of the story (his intentions, thoughts, etc.) Stalin has no redeeming qualities and i would never invite him to dinner... i would sooner invite gangis kahn... John Locke Sun-Tzu William Shakespeare Excellent choices! jojo 11-22-2004, 05:34 PM Abigail Adams Eliza Hamilton Sally Hemings Timothy Price 11-25-2004, 06:55 PM Churchill. Dogberry 11-25-2004, 06:58 PM So no-one else for Vlad the Impaler then? He reputedly did a wicked kebab. h2g2Fan 11-25-2004, 07:00 PM henry ii Criminal 11-26-2004, 10:23 AM Rasputin Marquis de Sade D H Lawerence Geofrey Chauser Caligula John of Leyden Thomas Dashwood Ben Franklen (Who, by the way, was very fond of orgies) Louis XIV and a dozen French chambermaids from Louis's royal court Should make for a most intriguing evening of merriment! ;) Red 11-26-2004, 10:27 AM Churchill. .... Criminal 11-26-2004, 10:29 AM bye Fade. :nice: A-ha... we had a recent visit by "The Firm" once again. Red 11-26-2004, 10:31 AM yup, FaDe. i swore i banned that account. oh well, it's banned now. :nice: Potyondi 11-26-2004, 10:33 AM Goddamnit, stop banning all the interesting people. 90% of the remainder are just the "I'm good at sucking, teehee" or "Republicans bad, Democrats good, blah blah" type or some other equally braindead and typecast personality. There's a reason this place has gone down the crapper since a year ago. And then there's Red, with his warning and locking and banning and nascar and threads like "What's your favourite kind of relish". :mad: Red 11-26-2004, 10:40 AM Goddamnit, stop banning all the interesting people. 90% of the remainder are just the "I'm good at sucking, teehee" or "Republicans bad, Democrats good, blah blah" type or some other equally braindead and typecast personality.

And then there's Red, with his warning and locking and banning and nascar and threads like "What's your favourite kind of relish". :mad: we gave him many chances, and he continued to break the rules. we'll keep banning him until he gets it thru his thick skull he's not wanted here. Potyondi 11-26-2004, 10:42 AM Pfft, he is wanted here, by a greater majority than you or most people I wager. Saison 11-26-2004, 11:38 AM The Psychology Brat Pack: Freud, Jung, Rogers, May, Skinner. Emily Dickenson, Henry David Thoreau, Victor Frankl Ram Dass John Lennon & George Harrison Tom Waits Jim Henson & Mr. Rogers themistocles 11-29-2004, 11:29 PM Pfft, he is wanted here, by a greater majority than you or most people I wager. I guess I'll throw a vote in favor, so long as it's Fade and not "Heidegger". :p dynamite aphrodite 12-06-2004, 09:56 PM I think that a one-on-one with any one of the following people would be nice. However, a discussion between them would be so great: Mahatma Gandhi Alexander the Great Spartacus Jim Thorpe Henry D. Thoreau Boris Yeltsin Karl Marx and everyone's favorite...Calvin Palmer |
