Funniest line so far was when a kid calls Gervais a pedo and Gervais responds, 'If I was a pedo you'd be safe you fat little, ginger c#nt.'
Anyway, there's a scene where one of his co-workers is throwing out story ideas (they work for a community newspaper) and one of them is what 5 people, living or dead, would you invite to a dinner party - she gives her list and Gervais rips every selection to pieces. Anyway it got me thinking and here are 5 I'd invite....
Paul McCartney - I've seen Paul in concert 3 times. In 2011 we saw him in Cincinnati and the sister of a friend of mine actually got called on stage, got to hug Paul, he signed her back and she went from there to a tattoo parlor and made the autograph permanent. I've met the sister several times and every time I tell her that occasion was the only time I've ever been jealous of a woman hugging a man - I don't think I'd do the tattoo, however.
Woody Hayes - Woody was fired my junior year at Ohio State. Later that year the guy who lived across the hall from me asked if I wanted to walk over to Woody's office with him to get his book signed. I told him no, you're not getting it to see Woody much less get his autograph. 2 hours later he comes back, the book is signed, Woody invited him into his office and the talked World War II for nearly 2 hours. I regret not making that 5 minute walk to this day.
Dave Chappelle - got to have a little comedy at the party. Chappelle lives in Yellow Springs, Ohio and there are many days where he'll be walking down the street and is very welcoming to everyone. I think he's hysterical.
Marilyn Monroe - the 'Seven Year Itch' Marilyn - not the 'Some Like it Hot' Marilyn. I've heard that she was a bit of a loon but in her prime she was extremely sexy.
My Mom - I'd even let her do the cooking - I miss everything she used to make as a kid. Everything I cook I try to do it the way she did but I'm rarely successful. And she could tell a story with the best of them - it would be a great evening.

Jesus- I have a few questions about what he thinks about the state of religion today.
The nature of reality.
Guidance on my own priorities.
Einstein- In(or about) 1905 he wrote four papers which changed the way everyone in the world thinks.
How did he do it?
Tim Conway- Is there any subject he couldn’t make funny?
Gene Stallings- How many coaching giants did he work with?
J Edgar Hoover- Would anyone in history have more interesting stories to tell?

Well, I was going to say Jesus, but.... Now I guess I'll just wait and get all my answers from Hero!
Mine would be:
1) Benjamin Franklin - The dude was straight up FUNNY, and he was there when it ALL happened.
2) Rodney Dangerfield - Another funny man... But, a guy I've always wanted to talk to.
3) Michael Crichton - My favorite author of all time, and a guy who just knew a LOT about many different subjects.
4) Bill Murray - Because, he might actually show up. And, I think the man is a comic genius.
5) Brittany Spears - The 1996-98 version, because... when she sees who I hang around with, I might have a chance!!!
Apologies to Ronald Reagan and Rush Limbaugh. You can come to my next dinner party! |

Bill came to a few games every year and was always accessible and welcoming to the fans. I'm sure he makes it to Louisville games, too. He would sit with all the wives - you should check out a Cardinals game and maybe he'll be there, you could get a picture with him!
As for Brittney Spears - I remember a picture of her on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in the catholic school girl attire and I'd feel really dirty every time I looked at it.  |

Yea,,, I can hear me now, "Sorry Ben... you were a cool dude and all, but... I had to bump you from the party so I could have a shot at sex with Mira Sorvino". Actually, I think Mr. Franklin would understand.  |
