DU Dinner Party - You can Invite 4 DU'ers to Dinner!
ala Jon Favreau's "Dinner for Five."

Who would you invite over to dinner and conversation with you and why?

Me:

BlueIris for her love and knowledge of poetry.
Swag for his love and knowledge of photography and Art.
Bi-Baby for talk of politics, econ, her glorious foodie tendencies, and so she can talk to me in French.
Redstone because I think he's badass and has heart, style, and a love for people that I aspire to.

There are several other foursomes I'd like to get together, but I'll start with this one.

How about you guys?

:hi:

11. We did not forget.
Lukas got married and broke Grays heart. So sad. And Toby, I don't know what the fuck happened to Toby. Or maybe I have him tied up in my closet. :evilgrin:

13. My hobby is, whenever someone says
something is an adjective-ass noun, I mentally move the hyphen one word to the right.

"Ok, I think Gray, Bi_Baby, Sniffa would be a funny ass-grouping."

And I forgive you for missing me from the group. :cry:

3. A Spiritual Enlightenment Dinner
Peake- he is always quick with simplicity in the spiritual realm
Classicfilmfan- for her expertise as a Reiki master and spirituality
Zingaro- for her experience in Reiki and Yoga, and her views in general
Havocmom- because she is awesome and has that wisdom and general strength that comes from going forward and learning that I admire

I really don't like this because there are so many DU'ers I'd like to invite over

So if you aren't on the list, trust me, there are a brazillion lists in my head right now, this was the one that emerged on top.

So I would of course invite my personal friend Lizerdbits. She's awesome too and shares my twisted sense of humor...

Oh, by the way, I don't know about you, but in our family, it's common practice for the dinner hostess to perform nude yoga before serving dessert. It's a European thing, I believe.

Edited on Sat Feb-02-08 03:03 PM by GoPsUx
buddhamama Just because she is such a good friend.We could talk about anything(mainly politics...she knows her shit) I'd even eat vegan :D :loveya:

miss_american_pie because she was so sweet to me when I first came here and she is one very nice lady and a friend(and I don't have to tell you how cute she is)I'd probably spend the whole meal fawning her.

Writer because she is hella smart and even though I may disagree with her on things.She is a loyal and wonderful friend.We would probably talk about the media.

U4ic we would talk about the differences between Canada and the US or heck anything.She is extremely intelligent and very easy to talk to..I miss her



Breakfast would be another full ticket of great DU friends.

Unfortunately, I can't rant in real time as well as I can rant on the printed page, until I have a certain level of gin in me, as well as my audience, who then won't notice how incoherent it's become.

I've been sayin' for years that guys oughta be allowed to put on a bit o' war paint if they want, without suffering society's wrath.

I've been sayin' that because I don't like my eyes — they don't have any definition. :(

133. Some years ago, when I could afford a few frivolities
I considered permanent eyeliner — very subtle, so that people would go nuts trying to figure out what was different, y'know?

19. Well, I'll start with these:
*MrScorpio -- Because he'd bring great music and a great mind.
*Redstone -- Because he says so much in just a few words.
*RetroLounge -- Because, dude, who wouldn't want to spend time with someone who loves books as much as you.
*CaliforniaPeggy -- She'd bathe the place in light, and drop an F-bomb or two on us, just to keep things interesting.

There are so many other DUers I'd love to dine with, but I'll start with these.

You because of the poetry!

Another group:

MissMillie because I want to get to know her!
SeattleGirl because I already know her!
KitchenWitch because we're close already!
Whoa_Nelly because she's a down to earth goddess!

Dinner at CaliforniaPeggy's house!

#1 - salin: she is great to talk to!
#2 - Mr. Scorpio: for the music!
#3 - CaliforniaPeggy: so I can hear "My dear WakeMeUp!" in person!
#4 - Mrs. Matcom: I'm sure she has lots of great stories to tell! ;)

There are lots of others - it is really hard to pick just 4!

and I'd tie up billyskank, beat him with RevActs and serve him on a platter of SugarSmack.

106. If we're a couple, can we invite 8?
There's probably a number of DUers we'd love to hang out with more at a dinner party and get to know in a more "real" way, but I'm not sure I'd want to embarass or exclude anyone by naming names.

113. I'd bring everyone to Chuck E. Cheeses (not the one where the riot broke out)
and we'd have at it. What happens at Chuck E. Cheeses STAYS at Chuck E. Cheeses.

But if it has to be limited to groups of four plus myself, there are indeed specific groupings that I'd like to engage.

To Learn.
To Hug.
To Laugh.
To Create.
To Trout-Slap.

134. Oddly enough, all the people I'd invite
are both GLBTQ and live, or have lived in NY. :P

Although I think that's mostly because I hang out both in the GLBT forum and here 99% of the time, so the ones I talk to the most are the ones who have the overlap between the two. The NY thing's just a coincidence as far as I can tell.

In no particular order that would be chovexani, because she's just cool in that geeky sort of way that I like. And a little bit sexy. Thomcat, because he's just plain cute and he called me beautiful :loveya:. Lioness because she's cool and she just seems like a damn interesting person. Also, if it wasn't for her, Thomcat probably wouldn't have a scooter to get here with. :) And Lioness' GF, because even though I've never talked to her before, she makes freakin' guitars. :P Do I need another reason?

Seriously though, I wouldn't wanna limit it to 4. There are too many cool people here that I wouldn't be able to fit on the list. :(

140. For the first dinner party...
I'll start with RetroLounge, miss_american_pie, GoPsUx, and MissMillie.

A future dinner party would include lionesspriyanka and Rockit, and then if I could have monthly dinner parties after that, I'm sure to meet an interesting variety of DUers!

Why any of these people? Just because, that's why.

I'd make a sublime Coq au Vin, served with a delightful Chardonnay, assorted tasty side dishes, and an amazing bread pudding with Irish cream whiskey sauce.

With discussion revolving around art, journalism, puppies and roller derby, who could go wrong? :D

195. Wine, women and song
actually, not all that much song. A little Barry White over dessert ought to do it. :evilgrin:

I sincerely hope the following like kalua pig, laulau, lomilomi salmon, poi, and various other Hawaiian treats (like haupia, for instance :P ) :

LynneSin (who is encouraged to supplement the wine with some fine tequila)
MrsGrumpy
CatWoman
wild-card slot available for any of several females, depending on availability (theirs)

KitchenWitch, bi_baby, lioness, Chovexani, NYCparalegal, NewWaveChick1981, lost-in-nj and Ava miss the cut only by reason of being a) taken, b) other than hetero, and/or c) underage. The same goes for a long-banned DUer whose name has slipped my memory for the moment.

197. I don't normally answer these, but I will today
I would invite:

SOteric
DS1
matcom
LydiaLeftcoast

We would dine on truffles, foie gras, and veal and not feel guilty about it; plenty of excellent wine and quality booze; and have conversation the likes of which has never been seen since Thomas Jefferson, Davinci, Orson Welles, Plato, Francis Bacon, Lao-Tzu, Demosthenes, and Kant had a conversation in heaven.

Seriously, I think it would be a totally incredible conversation of arts, politics, culture, and the cosmos, to be had over exquisite food and drink.

Until matcom farts, anyway, and ruins the mood. x(

But another bottle of Petrus will get us back on track.
