I am thinking Paul McCartney. After all, not only is he a Beatle, but should be easy to cook for as we are both vegetarians.

maybe Obama. This also reminded me of a story I thought was hilarious. My friend takes teenagers on backpacking trips and asked them, “If you could have dinner with any famous person, alive or dead, who would it be?”

The clever kid answered: George Bush. Dead.

Astrochuck- That is bad news… I guess I will have to go with Keith Richards. He is still alive right? I will probably have to start planning though. Man, that would be a great dinner. Drinks all around!

Stephen Colbert seems like he would be fun and would be a great conversationalist.

This might sound cheesy, but I’d have to say the Dalai Lama. Second would be Clive Davis.

I would have ~~Cat Stevens~~ Yusuf Islam over for dinner, to hear from his own mouth why he chose Islam and stopped singing and why he has started singing again and all sorts of questions like that.

Jon Stewart would be a lot of fun.

Ken Wilber would be fascinating. By the end of the evening I bet I’d be re-thinking how I see life. (Ken wrote “A Brief History of Everything” and his work offers an integral theory of consciousness.)

I don’t really think I’d want to do that. I’d feel like a tool, oogling over some celebrity.

Warren Buffett (I plan on taking lots of notes)

@osullivanbr…must of been Pamela Anderson because Anna Nicholle is dead, too!

whatthefluther (13830

Ah that must have been it. Kind of embarrassed I didn’t notice to be honest.

I would probably have Bart Ehrman over. Very interesting man in my opinion.

I might have to say Johnny Depp and no not because of his looks either. But because I think he is not only a great actor, but a pretty interesting guy. Thats if you have ever actually read up on Johnny. For instance when he lived with Hunter S. Thomson before he died. So that he would have a full understanding of him before playing his character in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
