Shakespeare would be speaking Early Modern English no? Plus he might speak in rhyme. Could get annoying quickly. I suppose lots of things rhyme with wine
OKAY - first of all, I THINK you might not have met Lyndon Johnson only because he died in 1973. and you were in Asia at the time, or was it New York CIty? Or was it Stratford-Upon-Avon" And this is AGAIN one of your BEST EVER STORIES, Bob - especially putting Kurt at the table with Twain and Parker. He's my own personal author choice ALWAYS- way better than old WILL every tried to be, but that's my HUMBLE opinion. You may remember that I've never actually had a humble opinion in my life.
So can we guess more than once? So I should have KNOWN B. was right again and I was wrong. Of COURSE you met the 36th President and I SHOULD have remembered that story. And when we stroll down for the dinner, will the Baroness be included? I should hope so.....
I’ll bet you’ve been to the real Las Vegas, the original in New Mexico. I’d invite Abraham Verghese (sp?) and Isabel Allende. I prefer live dinner guests rather than corpses.
If I can't steal your perfect trio of guests, I would probably go the weighty route and invite John le Carré, George Orwell and Vasily Grossman and ask them to help us fix the world.
Shameless, Mr B, absolutely shameless, how you flaunt your apparent erudition and your social connections. All names easy to spell, I notice, oh buddy-buds with Cher. Never had coffee with Wislawa Szymborska, I bet. Or interviewed Milolz Hussowczyk. I'm just sayin'.

Mine would be Mr. Dostoevsky, Miss Mary Ann Evans a.k.a. George Eliot, and Mr. Cervantes. I suppose I'll need translators.

Lyndon Johnson.

Make my Bill Sidney Porter aka O. Henry.
Dean Koontz and Andrew Greeley for an interesting mix. And Robert Basler to keep an eye on them all!
Did you meet Cher? On the Sonny side of the street?
A no-brainer!
I’ve got your password now, Mr. Basler. 😆

Seriously man? The missus has begun using words like “wanker”?
