[arwalden]

18. The other four choices would just be in the way...

they can dine with someone else... tonight it's just me and Brendan.

[Patsy Stone]

10. Great Thread!

I have fantasy dinner parties planned in my head. I've given only a few, but I could go on and on. I plan theme nights: newscasters, actors, artists, comedians, etc.

Newscasters:

Uncle Walter
Keith Olbermann
Jon Stewart
Tom Brokaw
Linda Ellerbee

[babylonsister]

15. Linda Ellerbee! Thanks for that! I

haven't thought about her enough; where's she been?

[Patsy Stone]

17. I DON'T KNOW!

But she better get here fast; the food's getting cold! :)

[Missy Vixen]

29. If there's an extra seat at your dinner table

I'd love to be there. I'd even bring the libations of your choice.

If it were my dinner, however, I would uninvite Tom Brokaw and invite the national treasure of print journalism, Ms. Helen Thomas. I imagine dinner with that lineup would be fascinating.

Julie

[lizzieforkerry]

30. My mom emailed her to get her opinion on the whole election

but she didn't write back- we were all very disappointed

[Patsy Stone]

32. You're on!

I'd love to know how many times she's felt like throwing her pen at the shrub and his dis-information brigade! How the hell do you dis Helen Thomas? Her butt has been in that chair since who, Lincoln?

Grey Goose and a nice Sauterne...

Mrs. McLargehuge.
