One Dinner with ?

One person. Throughout history. Besides Jesus. A Dinner. Who and where?

Mine: Abraham Lincoln in the White House.

How about you?

  1. I would have to say either JFK in the White House or Martin Luther King Jr. on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

  2. I would choose Dr. King and would want to share a meal with him in his cell in the Birmingham Jail right before he wrote his noted letter to pastors.

  3. Lady Godiva on the horse. :-)

  4. Queen Elizabeth I in the Tower of London

  5. Wow… Elrod, you continue to amaze me!

    Dr. King or JFK. I am with you guys on that as well.

  6. yeah, nice call on Elizabeth I Jenni – i thought about some member of the royal family as well.

  7. I’d like to have dinner with George W Bush in about 5 years somewhere in Texas.

    Someone in the past: Brother Lawrence. I love that guy.

  8. I’m with you on Lincoln or MLK, but not so much on the locations.

    We’d have dinner at Bern’s Steakhouse, and I’d pick up the bill . . .

  9. Noah first night on the ark

  10. Can I say two people, instead of just one..??? I’d love to sit over a campfire and eat some elk stew with Meriwether Lewis and William Clark.

  11. jonathan- i almost put Lewis and Clark myself. nice call.

  12. Dude. I’m a huge Abe Lincoln fan. Good call. However, I might go with Josephus. Would be fascinating to talk with a secular historian who observed the earthly ministry of Jesus.

  14. I would have to say C.S. Lewis if I had to choose one. It would be at The Eagle and Child pub in Oxford. After dinner, I would sit back w/some type of malted barley and observe the “Inklings” group (headlined by Tolkien and Lewis). Of course, I would not pass up having dinner and talking baseball w/ Cal Ripken. I wanted to hit both sides of society…Athletes and Scholars.

  15. I’m digging that Dwayne added an athlete… sounds shallow but I would have loved to sit in the tunnel with MJ before one of his title runs in the 90’s or hung with Tiger at the US open

  16. i’d love to have dinner with Bill Gates, at his house cause i hear he has an awesome pad. not really interested in the tech side but more so what he has learned as an innovator, etc.

    oh yeah, love to hand with Ben Franklin too.

  17. D Train- i like the CS Lewis and Cal Ripken combo. Tony- the MJ pre game dinner would be fascinating. My guess is he would be pretty intense.

  18. hmm, good question.
    historic: anyone involved in women’s suffrage (elizabeth cady stanton, susan b anthony, elizabeth blackwell, julia ward howe)
    current: barak obama at my age (26)

  19. Susan B Anthony. would be fascinating.

  20. lars fredreckson somewhere in
    Campbell , ca
