Who would you invite to a dinner party?

Okay, this is an old hypothetical question.

You have a once in a lifetime opportunity to throw the most lavish dinner party of the year, and for some reason the laws of physics bends to your will, so all language and social barriers are removed, and you can invite anyone, living or dead.

But there is a catch. You can only invite five people, and one of those people can't be god.

For example, My list would be :
Sun Tzu
Billy Connolly
Steven King
Michio Kaku
Leonardo Da Vinci.

Anyone else have a fun guest list?

My kids and grandchildren of course.

K`inich Janaab ` Pakal
Nikola Tesla
H.P Lovecraft
Albert Einstein
and,,
(drumming sounds)

Kurt Russell!!

I think the party you're thinking of is the teen choice awards.

Richard Dawkins, Wendy Wright and two wiffle bats.

Fun for the whole family.

Ha! All you guys are supposing the people would actually come to the dinner party, which wasn't part of the original format. What, is this some kind of cosmic control, that everyone has to come if you invite them. If that was the case:

TImothy Leary and Bob Wilson, and ask them to bring some of their good stuff.

L. Ron Hubbard and Aleister Crowley, to liven up the place.

And five of the finest and most educated women from "Ancient to Modern Courtesians Inc." (AMC) to entertain and enlighten myself and my guests.

Charlie Sheen and four of his lady friends.

Nice list. I'd want Joseph Campbell (Power of Myth), Gandhi, MLK, Thoreau....
Maybe Franklin and Jefferson? Tesla? Plato? Newton or DiVinci? Monet? Yates?
(secretly - yes, superficially - Johnny Depp, sorry, that's so ridiculous of me - okay, not really)

I tried it.
I once decided to invite all the Gods at my dinner party.

Apparently the God from the 'religion of peace' was absent.

In my quest to figure out what's going on in this wacky world of ours, I would invite the following:
Jesus
Enoch
Mohammed
Siddhartha Gautama
Confucius
Hopi Spider Woman
Hermes Trismegistus
Satan

My dinner table isn't very big, so I choose:

Peter Dinklage
Warwick Davis
Verne Troyer
Emmanuel Luis
Tony Cox

LOL you're a funny person. But Jim would be hilarious, Minaj is opinionated, Taylor Swift is my darling and Dion Phaneuf is one tough SOB it would be a great dinner party. Ofc i would have plastic plates as i cannot stand the scraping of plates.

Me personally I would liked to have sat and had lunch on the 20th November 1962 with President John F. Kennedy, when he held a meeting with NASA Administrator James Webb, Director of the Bureau of the Budget David Bell, and several other people to discuss the human spaceflight program. (and aliens of course )

I forgot to mention that after the party was over I'd watch a bad movie with the robots from Mystery science theater 3000.

I'd have to ask my dogs who they'd most like to have over for dinner.
Doubtless, many tasty morsels have already been mentioned by other posters.
Regardless, with five guests, there would be a sufficient number of femurs for extended mastication and later retrieval and re-enjoyment.
