If you could have dinner with anyone at all, dead or alive, famous or not, who would you go with? Out of anywhere in the world, where would you eat?

Y'know a question very like this was once asked at the UMD Creative Writing Club. I cannot top the answer they gave there.

Shakespeare.

Thank you, and good night.

Edit: Forgot the location. A coffee shop, I think - in London, near the old location of the Globe Theatre. (Amano Clink Street, perhaps!) I'd want to be able to talk.

I'd have to go for Alan Turing. So much to explain and show and talk to him about!

As for the locale... who cares? any fast food place would do.

He'd definitely be a character.

I think I would prefer Voltaire to Shakespeare; Shakey seems like he'd be pretty quiet, and two quiet people make for an uncomfortable dinner.

This is true. I'm probably not that quiet, though.

Good deal. :)

MacGyver.

I don't know - I remember seeing bits of the TV show when my brother was watching it, and I'm not sure he'd be such a great conversationalist. Definitely interesting, though!

Agreed, though I think it would be interesting to go with Mozart. We'd be eating extravagantly and he'd be paying with money he didn't have.

No one cares where you are :P

See, I don't know any German, though! But yes, just from Wikipedia, he sure looks like a colorful character. :)

(Ah, but Shakespeare lived in London - instant topic for conversation!)
