Mea culpa, Fenix; your mention of a "fantasy dinner party" in another thread seemed worthy of its own space, so I've taken the liberty...
Here's the scene, folks: You may invite up to five guests -- living or dead -- for an evening of... well, heh, I guess it depends on who you invite in order to determine what might go on 
My five guests:
Flannery O'Connor
Jack Ruby
Louis XVI
Harriet Tubman
Adolf Hitler
Heck, all my guests are dead! But I have sooo many questions for each one of them; I guess I'll make it a rule of *my* dinner party that everyone must tell the truth. 
Edited to add: I dunno what a "Fanatsy" dinner party is, but I like the way it sounds!

I'd invite over for dinner:
Jesus
Adam
Job
Billy Graham
President Bush
But I'm afraid they might not like pizza. But that's ok, that's just more left for me.

I've always loved this that question Pat - glad you did too. You can tell alot about people from it and it makes an interesting conversation itself when you hear others wish list and their reasons.
Fidel Castro
Thomas Jefferson
John Ashcroft (Only because I want to see him answer to Jefferson)
Karl Marx (I considered Leonid Brezhnev but thought he and Ashcroft would end up in a love fest of admiration making for boring conversation).
Tom Clancy (I would love to read the book that he would come up with following a conversation with this group - I also want to know what went through his mind when the FBI said that no one had imagined that a terrorist would crash an airliner into a building when he initiated the Jack Ryan presidency on that scenarios years earlier)

Gee, Kraftdinner! What a compliment. I plan to be as smart as she is someday. LOL!
Thanks,
BTW...Kraftdinner...I see that you have no women on your list. If you need any help, let me know.
I should have spent more time on my list. I guess you can tell from my dinner guests that I have a sense of humor.

Me too, Pat! 
Helen, I've always admired people that call a spade, a spade. Ann Richards could care less if you like what she says or not and doesn't sway in her beliefs. We need more Ann Richards in the world!
Twelve, I'd love to read your list. Can I guess for you??
John Wayne
George C. Scott (as Patton)
Ronald Reagan
Nancy Reagan
Pamela Anderson

12pole would choose the cast of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and then he'd beat them all up.

LoL Kiara! That would make a great movie. Twelve could be a Bruce Lee type that rids the world of deviant ilk under the guise of a fantasy dinner party.

You know you spend two much time on a board when you think of a poster when you see a commercial. I am a diehard West Wing fan and during the Bravo replays they keep running commercials for their Superbowl Day Marathon of Queer Eye followed by an evening of Gay Weddings. Everytime I see it I think of Twelve.
