Breakfast for dinner?

Grandad and Lottie stole the title that I was going to steal, although to be fair, they had their titles first. So Maxi tagged me, with the meme thing, mememe, I just wanted to type that again for the love.

MEMEMEMEME

So, without further ado (should that be two words?), drum roll please:

Rules:

• Pick 8 people you’d like to invite to dinner, dead or alive or re-animated / resurrected.
• Say why
• Link your answers back to HERE
• Give credit to the person who tagged you
• Tag three others

NOTE: I presume it goes without saying that i’m inviting all these people, because I think I could speak to them, on a normal not, hyper-ventilating way. I’d ask them about their lives, but I’d like to know as if I just met them.

1. Dan Aykroyd. Did you know that he’s kind of mad about UFOs and he has it written into his contract that he can wear cowboy boots at all times. Plus his eyes are two different colours. And he was in Ghostbusters. I think we’d have a good chat about many, many things.

2. Bill Murray. Now I know, you’re probably sensing a theme here, but that’s not really it. All i’ll say is: Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Ghostbusters, Caddyshack (yep), Lost in Translation, Groundhog Day, Broken Flowers (a fantastic not-very-oft-discussed film) & Kingpin.

3. Ken Hammond. Maybe just to ask this, and to hear what he really thinks of this. And ’cause he seems super sound.

4. Dara O’Briain (That serengeti story, and Echo Island anyone?) and Bill Bailey (BBBC News rave) and Dylan Moran (You should stay away from your potential) because so far they are the funniest lads at the table, and together, well they may actually make the world implode.

I better stick a lady in there, because if there’s no other girl, it probably makes me look a bit weird, and especially makes the invitation kind of something other than a dinner party.

So 5.Kathleen Turner – I think she’d be fun and for her voice. And Jessica Rabbit.

6. Stevie Wonder – He’s most definitely still got it:

7. Kurt Vonnegut – I confess i’ve only started reading his works recently, but I just could not put down Mother Night (I don’t remember any specification that the person had to be living?)

8. Tom Waits – The man seems like fun, plus his voice is so good:

As an aside i’d like the dinner party to be soundtracked by: The Best of Stax records, The Ike and Tina Turner Story, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Spank Rock, Air, !!! and the Pixies.

And our after dinner entertainment would be The Third Man.

And I would order a single plum, floating in perfume, served in a man’s hat.

Jeepers I’m a bit of a dinner party host nazi. Ah well.

Now I’d like to point a giant foam hand at Rick, Pedro, Alexia and Grannymar and Annee too. Y’all go crazy now folks…
