I am not sure how to round out the lsit, but my priority would be on people who were well rounded rather than experts in a narrow field. The ultimate Renaissance man is Leonardo da Vinci who was the leader in both art and science at his time. He also dabled in the culinary arts, perhaps he could cater. The other must have on the list would be the Leonardo of his time, Benjamin Franklin. I think that Bob Hope would be a great choice. He certainly could bring humor to the table.

Now we need four women. History is full of well rounded women, but they have not been nearly so well documented. After a few movies I have seen recently I am tempted to choose the women by different criteria. Monica Potter and Kate Beckinsale are high on the list. Lucy would also be fun. I think I will round out the table with Helen Hunt.

I like your reasoning greytone. Bob Hope would certainly be welcome!

I erred in not considering an equal number of women in my first choice. Thinking about it now, I think I would consider Cleopatra, Elizabeth I, Madame Curie and maybe Mother Theresa...

Well, I would be there, afterall.

Actually, there are a couple of questions that I would like to put forth to the Colonel.
For example; What exactly did you mean when you replied "I won't." to General Terry's instruction of "Do not be greedy, Custer,save some indians for the rest of us."?
And just the basic; What in the HELL were you thinking?

OK, fair enough. :-)

Now, Crazy Horse or Sitting Bull would be interesting "backup" guests too...

Does this answer your question?

I would have to pick the following:

Charlie Chaplin-Always loved his slapstick comedy. I think he would be a good addition to lighten the mood.

Ludwig Von Beethoven-For pre and post dinner entertainment. Also because he was a freaking nut and I think he would be great to talk to.

Albert Einstein-To bring the intellectual conversation to it's peak.

Marilyn Monroe-Because she was a hot, sexy piece of ass.

Jesus- I too am not religious, but I do think he was a real man with real ideals.

Adolf Hitler-Although we don't agree with his philosophies, he was a genuis in his own right. To commandeer an entire country to think the way he did took some impressive oral prowess.

Benjamin Franklin-Because he is one of the greatest inventors of our time.

I am limited to English Speakers unlike the rest of you.

Thomas Edison - I wanna hang out with this guy and let him use the internet and mess with the LEDs, Resisters, Capacitors, ICs and transistors on the workbench in my garage.

Laura Ingles Wilder - Kinda want to take her for a ride in a car. It took them forever to get anywhere and I bet she would find that interesting. I would also feed her candy and listen to her describe what she is seeing.

Jim Leyritz - The King. Drink beers and learn what it is like to be a winner.

George Patten - Crazy loon. Pair him up with Jim and have them get drunk while I chill with Edison and Laura Ingles. Then come back after he is good and loaded and have him tell me about the time he rode the Elephants into Europe to take it over...

Ronald Reagan - After the others are passed out, I would end the night hearing about how Ronnie defeated communism and won the cold war.

Sorry, but I can not help being a smart ass.

Interesting...

Just don't bend down to pick up the salt!

All genuine ground breakers and/or original thinkers.

I reckon.

The Marquis wasn't particularly original, but he certainly broke ground (at least in having the gaul to write down his exploits)...
