hypothetical scenario: if you could have a dinner party and invite anyone famous...

[spa ced]

who would you invite?

i'd invite:

billy corgan (of course)
thom yorke (from radiohead of course)
dr. cornel west (professor at princeton, author)
vandana shiva (ecologist, activist, author)
david suzuki (environmentalist, activist, author)
kenji yoshino (professor at yale, author)
noam chomsky (professor at MIT, activist, author, intellectualist)
charlie kaufman (screenwriter)
chuck palahniuk (author)
jon stewart (satirist)
margaret cho (comedian)
dave chappelle (comedian)
fairuza balk (actress)
clive owen (actor)
haruki murakami (author)
colby keller (hot and humble gay porn star)
pastor (netphoria's very own...)

i'd be the most boring person there. but that's okay...because i'd mostly just want to listen, learn, and bask in their greatness.

[Nimrod's Son]

probably mariano rivera, that computer chick with the big tits on 24, and Batman

[RockLobster]

every bad actor i've seen, and then i would poison the food.

[Aeroplane]

Jesus, Buddha, Krishna and Mohammad. I'd have them arm wrestle.

[shannon]

bruce campbell

[Luke de Spa]

daniel dennett
richard dawkins
joe "ratty" ratzinger
michael behe

edit:
sonia choquette for some added sanity

[Travis Meeks]

Vonnegut and Howard Stern are the first two that came to mind

[ohnoitsbonnie]

zoidberg

[ravenguy2000]

Paul Simon
James Gandolfini
Al Gore
Bill Clinton
Kurt Vonnegut
Thomas Keller
Roger Ebert
Joni Mitchell
Bea Arthur
Leslie Stahl
Julie Andrews
David Bowie
Gene Wilder

I can think of more probably. Would be easier if I had some sort of limit maybe.

[Argh]

axl rose

ozzy

zakk wylde

jake lee

slash

eddie van halen and brother

david lee roth

the fat bass player from van halen, only to have the guards take him away

buckethead

billy corgan, only so he could be outshredded by everyone else

guy from green day, poison in food

members of rage against the machine

trent reznor

fred durst, ass beating from other celebs and poison in food

thats about it

[pink_ribbon_scars]

hm, let me see. that would be the best opportunity to meet all of the people i admire without having all the pressure on me to converse with them. i guess maybe

Bruce Springsteen
David Berman (American musician, poet)
Billy Bragg (British musician, activist)
Jimmy Carter
Bill Clinton
Toni Morrison
Glenn Ligon (African American artist, also is gay)
Catherine Opie (American artist, also is gay)


or alternately

Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Colombian writer)
Seamus Heaney (Irish poet)
José Saramago (Portuguese writer)
Richard Long (British artist)
Dan Peterman (American artist)
Anish Kapoor (Indian-born British artist)


i would be in heaven unless the party totally failed, in which case i would probably be more stressed out than i've ever been.

you know, you really get under my fucking skin. maybe i did it because i don't know who takanori gomi, dan majerle, jack clark, bob odenkirk, will arnett, et al, are, and reading jared's list would be a little more interesting to me if i had an idea of who those people are. and i figured that some other people might be more interested in my list if they had an idea of who the people are, in case they didn't know.

my distaste for you is so strong. i guess i should be happy that you don't like me.

exactly. at first my quotes only encompassed those that i thought people might not be familiar with...and then i started thinking well what if someone doesn't know who chuck palahniuk is...and so on and so forth. i appreciate knowing what people do and i'm glad you put their titles in parenthesis. i'm sure the people on lucky day spa and jared's list are probably amazing people but i'm not going to take the time to google every single one of them.
