Dinner with anyone ... Top-3

Chuck Norris
a 72-ounce steak
The Waitress

 

And vice versa, I'm sure

 

all dead:
my father in law
abraham lincoln
jackie robinson

all living:
bill clinton
stephen hawking
ben stein

 

Only three? You can't have serious dinner on this level with only three guests.

Ben Franklin (the greatest Renaissance man in American history)
Mark Twain
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain ("So Josh, tell me what prompted the rush at Little Roundtop...")
Babe Ruth (We'll order extra)
Margaret Sanger (oh, the stories here and the give-and-take between her and the Victorians Twain and Chamberlain would be priceless). And Ruth would belch and scratch all the while.
Warren Buffett (Brains and personality from the greatest investor of the 20th century)

 

1. My dad (died when I was in my teens)
2. Bill Clinton
3. Jenna Fischer

 

1. Simone Weil
2. Nelson Algren
3. Charlotte Bronte (rowr!)

 

Don Rickles
Allison Janney
My maternal grandfather (died when I was 2)

 

You were never voted trapper of the year, huh?



I think I'd just want him at dinner for the ad-libs and to hear him comment on his Snowman t-shirt I'd be wearing. And since he inspires so many people, maybe he could inspire Billingsley to find the strike zone more often next season.

 

Journalism Division:

1. Charles Pierce
2. Our Man Jones
3. Gary Smith

Anyone Else Division:

1. Stephen Hawking
2. Dick Lugar
3. Mark Grace

 

This is no contest:

1. Fergie
2. Fergie
3. Fergie

I'd love to crawl inside her head and examine the brilliance that penned "London Bridges" and "My Humps."

 

1. Dave Chappelle (as Prince or Samuel L. Jackson - his choice)
2. Thierry Henry (favorite athlete)
3. Norah Jones

Can't believe I'm the first person to say Chappelle.

 

Not to mention the Mozart-esque wizardry that brought us "Fergalicious," the video of which I unfortunately saw the other day on VH-1.
