| We were just sitting around the dinner table and one of my daughters dropped the "If you could have dinner with any three people, who would they be?" question. Living or dead, but must have lived in modern times. Amazingly (actually, sadly, not amazingly) all the young people at the table picked actors and actresses. My picks were Albert Camus, George Carlin and John Steinbeck. Who would you pick? And I know EJ's gonna pick 3 dead people cuz they don't eat much and the tab will be a lot less

So why did you pick 3 dead people? 
Humm who would I pick??? Obama!,,,naah secret service nightmare.
I liked camos pick #2 Robin Williams, we would be laughing too hard to eat, it would probably take an hour to get through the menu.
I did like PD's choice of Steinbeck, just to chat about the changes in the world since he wrote Travels with Charlie.
Now one of my own would have to be the grandfather I never met as he died when my dad was 9. He was killed on Dec. 16 1944 which as some might recognise as the first day of the Battle of the Bulge. He was in the 28th infantry division, 109 infantry regiment who had just come out of the Hurtgen Forest after sustaining a very high casualty rate. The 28th was supposed to be taking a break.
He posthumusly received the Distinguished Service Cross for singlehandedly taking out a machine gun nest so his pinned down platoon could get out, he was then taken down by another machine-gunner. I would love to sit down to dinner and talk to him about everything. |

My choices exactly but we'd have to include Jason (the founding father), sorry fellas but that's just the way it is. Although I'd like to meet most of you over a pipe full. And we'd have to go to Olympia of course! God's country. Piet can't pay, a rand doesn't calculate over here. Now if he could bring a grand, that's differnt. Say Jason, did you ever consider having a one time rendezvous for all us BoB's? Maybe in the center of the US? Like Wichita? I'll bring the paper plates!

Your right PB I forgot all about that meeting the westerners had. Lots of great smokes (cigars and Pipes) good drink and good food from what I remember reading in the posts.
I was all for a midwest meet up. But it is still not too late we could get one together if we wanted to.
Now back to the original post.
1. Ernest Hemingway
2. C S Lewis
3 Anna Nicohl Smith
Maybe I need to had a second dinner just for Anna |
