Crazy But Able

I saw this on another weblog and I thought I’d use it here. At first the idea was really fun but then I saw the people I was inviting and it looks a little creepy. If you could have a dinner party and the only limitations were a) total number of people including you could not exceed 12 b) you cannot invite more than 1 person that you actually know and all your guests must be alive today.
Who would you invite? And what would the seating arrangement be?
First of all I love dinner parties. I really like planning the food, not so much decorations, and drinks and I also like to have some conversation starters available just in case. Because you never know, but I have found that if you plan the food and guest list correctly the need for conversation boosters practically disappears. So after including me and my husband I get to pick 10 people! Bwahahaha! Would Clint Eastwood be too old? If I invite him then I’ll have to include other older-type people so he won’t feel like he’s babysitting…Ok, I’ll worry about that later. Susan Tudeschi would be on the list and I’d really really try to get her to sing. I’d also try to include Van Morrison, I mean I’d invite him but I really doubt he’d accept. Unless I invited someone really music-y and interesting to him like Dougray Scott. I’m sure Dougray can at least whistle and they’re both from the British Isles. Now I think I need a few more ladies. Okay, this combo might be fun Lucinda Williams and Britney Spears. They don’t have to sit next to each other but between Susan, Lucinda and Van the conversation might get wordy so Britney will sorta level them out. Now I want a comedian like Jerry Seinfeld, well, two comedians because I want the Kevin James, too. In a cruel twist of perversion I’d also invite Condi Rice. I’m sure she’d be bored out of her mind and would be caught frequently daydreaming about all the work she has to do back at the office. Plus the burden of dining with commoners! She’s such a badass though! I wouldn’t want to meet her in a dark alley. Hmm, last person should be a writer I think. You know what? Forget the writer, I don’t think they’d blend. Hmm, okay. The final person to be accepted on the island of whoa-what-a-cool-dinner-party is the Dali Lama. That would be fun. The Dali Lama + Britney Spears=This should be a reality TV show!
All in all I think the guestlist I made up would be a real trainwreck but it might be fun. It’s hard to think of people to invite that you don’t know. I mean, what can I say, “I’d like the lady from Wal-mart, please.”
The cabin was great! I took two naps and went in the hot tub three times. We kinda got into a pissing contest with a squirrel…which doesn’t speak too well of us. It was all pine trees and quiet. At one point, we were all sitting on the extremely large porch trying to figure out what a sound was. Was it a helicopter? Was it a plane? Was it a car? No, it was the wind int the trees. The first morning we were there it was around 45 degrees! That was so awesome! Once I figure out how to do the picture thing I’ll put some up:)
