Chain smoke gitanes drinking absinthe with French artists like Van Gogh, Rimbaud and whoever else is French, famous, chainsmoking and drinking absinthe at the local there.

All of us famous in our own minds.

I'd love to get Hitler, Stalin and Chairman Mao together for a game of risk. That'd be fukken great, I think.

First I'd pick actor River Phoenix because he was so beautiful....

Second, I'd pick poet William Blake and have him show me how to "open the doors of perception."

Third.....I'd pick River Phoenix again for a second date. I wonder if stalking exists in the afterlife.

Yasser Arafat. Point and laugh HA HA you're dead!

Same thing for U'Day Hussein-he won't be torturing Iraqi Olympiaans who don't win medals anymore.

Well, since most in history didn't speak English, I'll reserve my list to famous English speakers.

I'd invite three who had a lot to say and yet weren't blowhards (except Satchmo while on trumpet or while laughing).

Hume was a dandy favoured by women as a great conversationalist so he's just as much likely to talk up Agatha as he is to tell jokes to Armstrong.

My life has been enriched immeasurably by each of these figures, and I'd spend a week preparing a feast of feasts for them, with my own two hands.

Mao

Patton

(these two different rooms)

Churchill

Perhaps Patton should be in a room all by himself.

There are so many intriguing actors and writers out there that I hesitate to put on my list, because their voices and personalities are probably quite private, and most likely, slightly boring. Daniel Day Lewis and William Goldman come to mind as the disqualified front-runners. I'm going to make an exception for Douglas Adams though. For that, it would be a one-on-one, with some excellent wine.

I think I would like to have a good chat with Thomas Edison. I'd just buy him some ale, prod him with questions and let him think aloud. He was such an innovator. However, put me in a room with Ralph Waldo Emerson, and I will shoot myself. If we were in a restaurant and I were unarmed, I would fashion one out of the table leg, pepper and chickpeas. Or just eat a lot of cloth napkins and hope for best.

A young Cassius Clay would be such a treat. I would spend a few hours having a laugh with him, then take him to bed.
