The game stopped being fun after that.
For some reason tonight I'm thinking about dinner parties. If you could host a dinner party and invite four living non-fictional guests, who would they be? In other words, you can't invite Jesus or Luke Skywalker... These have to be actual people you'd want to have an actual conversation with. Bonus points if putting these people in a room together would result in a mind-blowing conversation.
I'll start. My four living non-fictional dinner guests are:
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Jon Stewart
Henry Rollins
Ze Frank
I'm kind of sad that I can't think of any women. Oh well. So, friends, who would you invite to dinner? And what would you fix?

Ha - I'm so lame that I would just invite real people that I know in real life that I would love to hang out with more... If we are playing the game, though, I guess my four would be:
Jon Stewart (just awesome sauce)
Wayne Gretzky (which might happen, btw!)
Julia Roberts (most beautiful smile)
Dule Hill (just seems really fun)
Making my meal is Alton Brown!
Just as a counterpoint to yours, I am going with all female guests.
First, Nobel Laureate and Italian Senator (for life) Rita Levi-Montalcini. At 103, she is still in great shape, and sharp as a tack. Her career has been amazing -- she started out in the 1930s, working in her bedroom / basement (studying chicken embryos) because as a Jew she was not allowed in major universities. Came to the US and discovered growth factors!
Second, Yoko Ono. Interesting artist who has met countless other fascinating people. She has also dealt with a wide range of challenges very publicly and with grace.
Third, Tina Fey. HILARIOUS! Also, I know she would prob. eat the food. Or am I confusing her with Liz Lemon?
Fourth - maybe Hilary Clinton? I would worry about her being stodgy, but I think she has loosened up in recent years, and she is SMART!!!
Honorable mentions would go to Ellen DeGeneres and her partner, Portia de Rossi. Cooking the meal and helping me host -- probably Ina Garten (just looked up how to spell her name and found out she was a White House nuclear policy analyst! Who knew!)
I would invite:
John Boehner
Nancy Pelosi
Harry Reid
Mitch McConnell
And we would solve all of the country's problems by the end of dessert because I would have poisoned them with the antidote only being available upon a satisfactory solution set.
