Encountering a horse that can solve differential equations (in German,
no less) and a dog that knows the difference between a pinyon and a
pinion (or between a pinion, a pinion, and a pinion, for all one
knows) sets a boys mind to wandering.

What might it be like to enjoy a lengthy late evening repast and
discussion with such illustrious celebrities? Not an entirely
original daydream, one can hardly deny......Steve Allen did it thirty
some years ago.....but enticing nevertheless.

Personally, I think I'd have a hard time planning a menu that would
thrill all those pleasant.....but the conversation would doubtless be
a stone cold ****in' thriller!

So, let us abandon cuisine in favor of cerebral stimulation.

Ignoring possible dietary tabbos, restrictions, preferences and other
impedimenta, and limiting the list to say, four invitees, who are the
number one through four guests (from any place or time on earth) on
your bucket list?

giles
responses will not be graded.....let alone on compatibility......but
let's do try to be reasonable, eh? i mean, yeah, sharon and charlie
(or his friends, anyway) have already met.....but probably not the
best of all possible dinner companions.....know what i mean?
