If you could choose two people in the world past or present, who would they be?
My two choices would be:
Alicia Silverstone and Mel Brooks.
Firstly, I'm a guy, so that's my reason for Alicia!
But Mel Brooks is, to me, the greatest comedy director of all time!

My favourite movie is History of the world and Robin Hood Men in tights is still a classic!

1st. Cao Cao (Chao Chao)
2nd. Bill Gates
Why??
1st. He was one mean SOB.
2nd. Possible plot to take over Microsoft.

With my first guest there it's a sure bet Bill will not be leaving owning anything.

I would have Hitler & Stalin over.
I would then punish them with foul-tasting shrimp starters, farty bean casserole with extra chicken giblets and over-ripe soggy bananas for dessert.
Then I'd beat them both to death with the soup tureen.

Yes. Soggy bananas are quite militant.

Well let's see it's the Canada Day Weekend so I'll be patriotic.
the late Pierre Elliott Trudeau, because he embodied much of what Canada means to me.
and his son Justin, who is a real babe...tall, dark and handsome (not to mention smart and eloquent)....just the way I like em.

Edgar Allen Poe - just to see, if he was really twisted.
Chief Crazy Horse - to find out, how they really took down Custer.

I'll have to have several dinners, I'd also like a conversation with Dadaist artist Marcel Duchamp and philosopher/writer Umberto Eco.

I am not very politically minded (normally!) but I would love to have Winston Churchill and Tony Blair, just to see the wit of the elder wipe of the inane grin of the younger.
i.e
woman to Churchill "Sir you are drunk!"
Churchill to woman "Woman - you are ugly - tomorrow I will be sober!"
woman to Churchill "Sir, if you were my husband I would poison your coffee!"
Churchill to woman "Woman - if you were my wife I would drink it!"

extension - looking for possible Churchill retorts...
Blair to Churchill "Sir - I question your politics on Europe - we should be considering a united front"
my thoughts...
Churchill to Blair "Sir - with respect - the only united front your generation will understand are the products of Wonderbra"

Ummm, like CE, I need many parties to invite all of my favourite (or not) people... And most of them are not known to other people, so I cannot post here (I don't want to give you lectures

).
Okay, here is a pair: David Trimble and Jerry Adams. I have a keen interest in Northern Ireland.

Hmmm. Shakespeare and Ben Jonson, I suppose. After all, I'm curious about 'em both, and we speak (more or less) the same language.
Now, if you'd be kindly enough to provide automatic translation facilities, I'd probaby opt for Herodotus and Cleopatra.

@Fable: I would guess you will have to refrain mr Johnson from constantly teasing Shakespeare for his lack of knowledge in Latin and Greek
@Minerva: Don't worry about people not knowing who your guests are. I, for instance, have no idea who either of Leedoggs guests are
