You are Cordially Invited...

[Ghreyfain]

And Cole Porter or Irving Berlin to play the piano while Edith sings.

You invite people to your house or out to dinner so they can perform for you?

[Jyzabyl]

@Eral Any friend of Carravagio is a friend of mine. Can I come to your Party? Please, can I, can I, can I??? Have you read "M"?

@ Ghrey, I'm far too insecure to hold a popularity contest. I might lose 

[jester]

I would invite only people I could relate too

1) Friedrich Barbarossa (because he almost made it to Jerusalem and I value the thought)
2) Oscar Wilde (Proust would call in sick anyway)
3) Jorge Louis Borges (Somebody has to keep an eye on the silver cutlery and keep Wilde in check)
4) Luthien (Well, if I go with one women from the celebs)
5) el Che (So we can have a word about spreading revolutions and stuff)
6) The guy who almost split the atom first, but failed to get his patents through in time or Jesus or Goebbels or Churchil depending on who gets here first.

7) A bonus guest would be the guy who stood in front of the row of tanks in Tiananmen Square.

I would invite all the PPGs to take turns at the table. There is enough for everybody. If they can bring more celebs that would be very much appreciated.

[Andyr]

I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member anyway.

Yes, Groucho.

[Eral]

Jyz- you know you are on my list of PPG invitees. Not only do I think you could repartee sparkingly and interrogate with wit and charm, I think Oscar would like our matching Blather Sister T-Shirts.

Goebbels - now that's an interesting idea.

Ghrey - no, ordinarily you come over to my place for dinner I provide you with good food and booze, no pressure. But I'm assuming that when Edith stands up and says she wants to sing, neither Irving nor Cole would be reluctant to play for her. We're talking about dinner in the style of the salons of the 1800's here, where great minds and talents shared their ideas and abilities over champagne and dessert.
I hope you are still not bitter over our Strong Bad debate. Let it go.

[Jyzabyl]

Plus could resist Eral, Jyzabyl, Edith, Dorothy Parker and Oscar Wilde's rousing rendition of "I'm a Woman - W O M A N"

[Idobek]

Breaking the rules a little, I'd invite JC, Ghrey, Sim, Neil, Ken, Seifer, Baronius, Cam, Corvis, NiGHTMARE, domi and dorotea. Then I'd sit back and watch the world explode.

[jester]

Excellent choice! The choice of wine could be difficult for such a momentous occasion.

[Idobek]

The wine selection would have to be all white, since the danger of drinks being throw in faces is high and getting the stains out would be difficult were there reds on offer. The same applies to the food--only edibles that can easily be removed from frabic should be available.

[Dark Raven]

That would be great! Watch them beat each other senseless.

[Bons]

Oh, man, Westlake would be good.  Damn.

Damn straight. Westlake's practically on your list, since that's inviting Dancing Aztecs. 

And Jesus would be the person I'd worry about least, to be honest.  He's all mild-mannered and stuff.

Shocking, coming from me, but I was making a religious reference, i.e. Jesus + 12 disciples + food + wine = The Last Supper

No Gene Rayburn.

Neither Gene nor Dawson! I have failed. I really should have picked Gene Rayburn instead of Rod Sterling. He could tell stories, too. Stories about Encino.

[Ghreyfain]

Ouch.  How did I get in there?

Oh, see, yeah, I'm the last person you want to ask about that sort of stuff.

[Idobek]

I had to think carefully about the list, I wanted to ensure participation from all invited (no attempts at a real world *click*) and everyone needed to have a force of personality above a certain level. I also felt that several of the other guest would ask "Where's Ghrey?" if you weren't there. While there were others I could have invited you seemed to "fit" better, I also thought you'd enjoy yourself.

Flattery will get you nowhere.

All three of those points are probably quite true.  The last especially.  Okay, I'd actually accept the invitation to this party.

[jcompton]

I'd accept if there was a thorough weapons search at the door. I might leave before the steak knives came out, too, depending on how the evening was progressing.

[Ghreyfain]

I could see it being a lot of fun, although I'm hoping there'd be highballs or martinis there.  Not much of a wine or beer person, to be honest.

[Andyr]

We've had fun in the past when we've met up in the UK for drinks and things.

[Echon]

I never got around to meeting Daxziz but I am sure we would have had a good time.
