So you are both anybody and composer?

[George]

Lots of people want Jesus round for supper. Not sure he'd accept, given what happened after the last one ...

[Mark]

Knew you wouldn't disappoint me, George. High five!

[BachQ]

Lots of people want Jesus round for supper. Not sure he'd accept, given what happened after the last one ...

My understanding of the "rules" is that a guest's attendance is compulsory .........

Nice.

He'd make a great cook though.  I hear he's got a fantastic recipe for five bread loaves and two fish.

[Mark]

And there's the gag I rejected.

[Anne]

Mark,

When is the baby supposed to be born?

[Mark]

Mark,

When is the baby supposed to be born?

Yesterday.

My money's on the 27th-30th, however.

[Anne]

Tension-filled times.  Enjoy your all-night's sleep while you can.  Best wishes to both of you.

[Mark]

Thank you, Anne. As you can see, I'm clearly ignoring the sensible advice about sleep as it's now 1:26am here and I'm still up. Boy, am I gonna regret this.

[Anne]

You poor guy!  Especially if labor starts in the next hour.  You stand to earn a lot of brownie points if you can stay awake and attentive to her while she's in labor.

[Mark]

Mmm ... think of all the brownies I could buy.

Seriously, though, I don't think it's going to happen tonight. She's going through a protracted latent labour stage, which (anecdotal evidence suggests) can result in a very short active labour. Let's hope so.

[Anne]

Let us know.  We're staying tuned.  A short little sentence as you very calmly pass the computer on your way out the door to the hospital.

[Mark]

A short sentence? From me? I've started 94 threads on this site. You can expect another, at least.

[Anne]

We'll be waiting!

With pictures of the little lady    So all of us hard knocks can say 'awwwwww'

[XB-70 Valkyrie]

I'd invite Alexis Bledel, then I'd clone her four times and invite the clones as well! 

[Renfield]

In order to have a very civilized and friendly dinner, would invite:

Val (obviously)

Bruckner

Brahms

Hanslick

Wagner

Hugo Wolf

This is the precursor to mass-homicide: especially if there are knives on the table.


And for a general comment, it's interesting how many people would like to have dinner with people like Jesus, Homer, or Shakespeare - all of whom have pretty much said all they were going to in public, and while still alive. While none of them sound like especially exciting dinner guests, minus their views and wisdom...

Socrates is an exception, though, as he either never said anything, or always said everything; your pick.

Nigel Wilkinson
Michael Schaffer, aka M forever
A.C. Douglas
Paul, aka Lolita (some times)
Mr. Zalmann (spelling could be wrong; the other Wagnerian)
Springrite (as observer and evaluator)
