For some reason, I've been incredibly bored for the past hour and I got
thinking about something. If I could invite any twenty people I didn't
know for dinner, alive or dead, real or fictional, who would I invite?
Here's what I came up with: 1. MacGyver - This person is my hero of the moment. MacGyver is actually a big reason why I decided to major in physics. I'm not up on the whole getting shot at thing, but I would like to have some sort of job where I'm out in the field or otherwise using physics and other mechanics know-how to solve problems. Furthermore, he saves the world without having to resort to firing off hundreds of clips or having the roundhouse kick of death. He uses his brain very well. 2. Cao Cao - Who wouldn't want to have dinner with Emperor Wu of Wei? He was one of the most capable and savvy generals of the Three Kingdoms Era. Furthermore, it's widely thought that he had an incredibly unscrupulous personality, but there is only bits and pieces of proof to validate this claim. I'd like to see if he's really the cur people make him out to be. 3. Excel - HAAAAAAAAIL ILPALAZZO! The very attractive and hyper main character of Excel Saga would certainly be welcome at my table. She adds life to any room or situation, regardless of whether you want it or not. Moreover, I don't have any pets, so I don't really have to worry about keeping them safe. 4. Reno - He's a Turk and he's a goofball too. He exhibits the most confidence as well and is most interested in simply doing "cool stuff" of the group. 5. Tifa Lockhart - What? Another Final Fantasy VII character? Yes. In the original game, she is moderately decent looking, but in Advent Children, she suddenly became the single-hottest created [rendered, animated, etc.] female I have ever seen before. I would spend lots of time at the table just staring at her like I'm a complete moron. Hopefully, she wouldn't decide to Final Heaven me into next week. 6. Maze - He seems like the hardened battle general of Fable and it's a shame that he couldn't even be a moderately decent human being. Yet, I somehow find him intriguing to the point that I even made a character based on him in an RPG once. 7. Kurt Angle - Kurt Angle is incredibly accomplished as an NCAA and Olympic champion and a sports entertainer in WWE. His wrestling ability is incredible and he's become an international superstar. I'd most definitely want to hear some of the stuff he'd have to say. 8. Kate Beckinsale - I love her and want her to be the mother of my children. Then again, millions of other guys on the planet feel exactly the same way. I enjoyed her work in both Underworld movies and in Alice and Wonderland. I'll pretend she wasn't associated with Van Helsing. I'm interested in seeing Click... Is that any good? 9. Ayane - She's quite a violent female that I would never want to cross... Yet that purple hair is so alluring. 10. Moses - I'd have to ask him about the Exodus. What was it like having to keep his party under control while running away from Egypt? What was his favorite plague? Were those stone tablets heavy? 11&12. Jay and Silent Bob - A banquet can't be complete without the ultimate duo of the womanizing pothead and the guy who just kicks ass. I can only imagine if Jay decided he wanted to hit on one of the women in my party who can legitimately and effortlessly annihilate people. 13. Shaun - I want to learn the art of anti-zombie cricket bat warfare from this guy. Furthermore, I can have nothing but respect for a normal guy with normal guy problems being thrown into the oddest and most absurd life-threatening situation known to man and living to talk about it. 14. Rogue - Rogue of The Cruxshadows, Mr. Pineapple Head, himself, would be the goth and indie music guy at the table. Of all the people I've mentioned or am going to mention, he's the only person I've physically spoken to before. He has this incredibly dry and witty sense of humor that can cut like a knife. 15. Chuck Norris - "Chuck Norris never sleeps! He waits!" Ok. No. But, I would feel an incredible obligation to invite the subject of one of the largest Internet phenomeona, just to torture him with every random generator fact there is. I never really liked Chuck Norris much. I found Walker: Texas Ranger to be practically unwatchable. A friend of mine and I both decided our favorite fight scene of his was the one where he lost to Bruce Lee. 16. General Beatrix - More eye candy. I'd have to ask her what it was like having to listen to people pretend to be enamored with Queen Brahne when everyone [except Brahne] knew they'd much rather snuggle up with either Garnet or her. 17. Ann Coulter - So abrasive... So cutting... Such manly hands... Such deep conservative values... Such raw wit... And she'd wear a slinky cocktail dress to the occasion. 18. Jeff "CJayC" Veasey - Why on Earth would I invite the administrator of GameFAQs to my banquet? Simple. He's so incredibly mysterious and I would savor a chance to find out more about the ever-esoteric administrator of a site that I've regularly gone to for over six years. Nobody knows anything about this guy. I simply must know. 19. Aeris - No, this isn't another Final Fantasy VII choice. I'm actually referring to the character from the webcomic, VG Cats. Whether she's running a D&D game, beating the hell out of Leo, or just alerting people of "Wii," she's one of my favorite characters in a webcomic. 20. Ash - To top it all off though, my favorite webcomic character is Ash Upton from <I>Misfile</I>. If I invited her to dinner, I'd have to ask her, "What's it like being forced into a gender you weren't a year ago and not being able to do anything about it?" I'd then ask her to hook me up with a car, because I don't have one right now. ;_; And, there we have it. These are the twenty people I'd invite if I had a banquet. If any of you want to do this, here are the ground rules: - The people can be alive or dead, real or fictional. - They have to be people or other humanoid creatures. For instance, Lassie wouldn't work. - They don't have to be famous, but can't be your buddies or anyone else you could realistically just call up and have dinner with on the spot.

I tell ya, those fictional computer renderings sure are characters. I mean that. They're characters. This is creepy as hell.

This is just goddamn disturbing. "Banquet with anyone alive or dead" I
could understand, but dude, you're fantasizing about eating dinner with
video game/movie characters. Next you'll be saying shit like "I would
jerk off to Princess Peach but I respect her too much."

This is what you think about when you're bored? How do you come up with
that? I honestly want to know. Were you stoned in addition to being
bored?Seik posted:Was I the only one who thought this thread was going to be about the most awesome meal you could imagine? I started to think about it as the page loaded and now I'm really hungry.

Same here. I was imagining fried rice, Big Macs, Da Vinci's pizza and about 20 of my grandmother's home-cooked specialties (with LOTS of her fresh, hot banana pudding). Instead I got tea time with Polly Prissypants.

I dont think this is such a bad idea, why are you ripping into it so much. Personally I'd rather eat in front of the T.V and theres only room for one other on my couch. And i like to eat with my feet up. So no one.

20 anthropomorphic pussies. They'd just sit their quietly, occasionaly
queefing at my witty witty humour. And then they'd dogpile on me after
dessert and I'll die as I lived; drowning in a sea of pussy.

Incidentally, before I read that Wikipedia article, I didn't even know
that such Westernized versions existed, where it is served with some
meat still on the skin. Sacrilege!Damn, now I'm hungry, but thinking about Peking Duck the whole time, I can't imagine being satisfied with anything less now

I'm with PrBacterio on the duck. I once had it at a restaurant which
served straight Chinese cooking. It was pretty amazing. Also, I gotta
say, the ultimate banquet would consist of Chinese and Italian cooking.
As far as anything can be known, this is irrefutable, for they are the
ultimate.

This thread is mis-named; I suspect "Your ultimate Guest List" would be more accurate. That said, gimme Caesar salad (chicken optional), lasagne and lemon cheescake, with cadbury's flake all over it and slices of mandarin around the outside and I will fight you to the death afore I let you have any. To the Death, I say.

Yeah seriously. You're planning fake dinner parties for video game
characters and MacGuyver. I'd say you're a couple of steps away from
believing you are actually one of these made up people. Hey... are you inviting these people to eat with you, or do you plan on eating them?
