Hmm. Tough one.

My five?

My birth mother, a brilliant Irish woman, who died far too young. Wicked wit, could drink whiskey with the best of them.
Sir Edward "Weary" Dunlop: Sir Edward Weary Dunlop was a surgeon in the Australian Army during World War Two. And is one of Australia's best known people.
Ned Kelly: An Australian Outlaw-who has become one of Australia's greatest folk ledgends.
Oscar Wilde, hey, in 1891 The Picture of Dorian Gray was written, I gotta meet the man.
I'd like to say "Mr Darcy" from "Pride and Prejudice" but he's fictional...ahh well. Go ahead. Him!

Also, as back up? In case Ned or Weary can't make it.

Janet Evanovich's characters Ranger and Stephanie Plum. I'll take Ranger first, and then, he's not leaving

I would choose:

1. Jesus
2. Mohammad
3. Boddhidharma

So they can set their followers right, the dinner would be televised and peace would reign in the world.

4. An alien from a peaceful race - so all that stuff can be cleared up.

5. Bruce Lee for Master *grin*

Fakir Musofar because he's simply the most fascinating and real person I've ever had the honor to dine with and I'd like to do it again.

My grandfather, Vincent, who passed away. He opened my eyes up to the whole world in more ways than one.

Gordon Ramsey, because he'd make sure our dinner ROCKED!

My Dad because he is the wisest, most honest man on the planet.

And last but not least...

Master - who taught me that love wasn't just for fairy tales and that dreams really can come true even when you don't believe in them.

Ayn Rand is a good one, and one I thought about.......but I've a feeling Chris Rock would be swearing at her before 30 minutes was up, and there goes my party heh heh.

Mine are :

1} Richard Melon Scaife - Heir to the Mellon family Bank fortune -- And more importantly, the key figure who Hiliary Clinton was pointing to when she spoke of ''The vast right-wing conspiracy'' Also responsible for putting up most of the ''seed money'' for the development of many of the finest libertarian think tanks.

2}Leo Strauss - Head neocon guru and philosopher. A descendant of Aristotle and a contemporary to Carl Schmitt. What can I say... I'm still trying to understand how the neocons think.

3} Andrew Jackson - The Seventeenth President of the United States and one of the most courageous men ever to grace this country. ''Americana'' in it's finest hour.

4}Albert Anastasia - The head of ''Murder Incorporated'' - And some think Bill Gates is shrewd? Even though this guy was an infamous crook, some historians have touted him as one of the toughest and smartest guys ever to come out of NYC.

5} General George S. Patton - One of the greatest military minds of modern America. Outfoxed Rommel and the Germans with phantom armies -- Thought he was re-incarnated officer from the Carthaginian battlefields.

I'd also invite my father and girlfriend / wife /significant other to attend.

Stephen Fry - Great dry wit and entertaining company
Robbin Williams - Great sense of humour
DaVinci - He was centuarys ahead of his time and probably the most inteligent man the planet has ever seen
Sun Tzu - The greatest general and tactician in history

And lastly.... Kristina Cousins. Once the others leave, she is my dessert!
