dinner with snoop

i was listening to music while working today. there was a snoop dogg song pounding out of the speakers and for some reason i thought hey, i would like to have this guy to a dinner party. but that made me consider who else i would invite to a dinner party if i wanted to have a really great night. who would you invite if you could have anyone in the world show up? i am kind of surprised by my answers. i would have thought the list would be less hollywood oriented, but some of these people are here because i expect them to possibly drink too much and be entertainment for the rest.

the list is definitely more liberal than i expected, but mary matlin and i should be able take a more conservative stance if needed to balance bill maher and james carville. there are a few europeans and at least two american expiates on the list so it’s not to say it’s fully an american list. i would have liked to include someone from asia, but i don’t know the personalities well enough to know who would be good to have dinner and debate with.

here is the list, what do you think?

calvin “snoop dogg” broadus, jr.
rapper, he is known for his “lazy drawl”

furgie
lead singer of the black eyed peas

nelly furtado
singer known for songs "promiscuous" and "maneater".

bill maher
host of politically incorrect

mary matlin
republican political consultant

james carville
democratic political consultant and husband of mary matlin

zinedine zidane
french football star, famous for headers and head butting

jon favreau
actor, writer, producer, of “swingers” fame

lisa nicole carson
actress, (renee of ally mcbeal)

denis leary
actor, comedian, (star of “the job”)

rhona mitra
actress, (tara wilson of “boston legal”)

paraminder nagra
actress, (from “bend it like beckham”)

thandie newton
actress, (from “truth about charlie”)

rob fitch
best male friend

ann verhoeven
best female friend


the next question is, what would i server this group for dinner? i am sure i would start with something easy like a cheese course, salad and meat cravings and breads. good wine, good conversations, and hopefully a lot of laughs. desert and port with coffee to finish the night. what more does one want from a dinner party?

one of you knows you have a history of getting drunk at parties; don’t expect me to try to stop you. i would like to see what happens as the night goes on if you were hammered, so you are on your own.

does anyone want to take bets that denis leary and zidane get into a tussle? i am taking the angry irish american kid from worcester mass, i think he will see the head butt coming a mile away and knock zidane out. that is unless favreau gets in the middle and settles things down.

oh yeah, its going to be a good night.
