OK, class, let's settle down. I had a chance to look at your homework and I must say I'm quite please. Rob_of_the_Sky, take that pencil out of your nose this instance. I was impressed with your answers. Some of my favorites were Billy Joel, Charles Bukowski, Hunter S Thompson, Nelson Mandela, Robert Frost, Bach, Christopher Walken, Les Claypool, C. S. Lewis, me, the Earl of Sandwich, Andy Kaufman, Traci Lords, Randy Savage, Dean Smith, Bob Dylan, ABBA, Blaze Starr, Bertrand Russell, and Martin Luther King Jr.
These are all great choices. I know some of you were merely selecting with your hormones but you are developing those feelings after all and it is to be expected. I won't name names but you know who you are. For the love of all that is sacred, Rob_of_the_Sky, take the pencil out of your nose.
I have decided that since you did this assignment and put a lot of effort into it that I would give you my guests. This has been difficult for me because there are just so many I could choose from. I'm sure if I selected with my hormones you'd be freaked out so I will leave it to historical people. OK, Rob_of_the_Sky, you have a bloody nose. What did I tell you about putting a pencil in there? You can't sharpen a pencil with your snot. Once you get done seeing the nurse, go see the principal. I want you to write me a 500 word essay about why you should put a pencil in your nose.
OK, here's my dinner guests.
1. Martin Luther, I went with Luther because he has had such an impact on Christianity and not always for the good. If it wasn't for Luther, we wouldn't have any other church beside the Catholic and Orthodox denominations. I'd also like to quiz him about his hatred for Jews and ask how he felt about inspiring another guest to comment genocide. I'd also like to know what he thinks about modern Christianity and if he likes Michelle Bachmann's quest for the presidency.
2. Tom Waits, we need a good musician for my meal and I am in the mood for some Tom Waits. There is just something about his voice. The dulcet tones make me just so relaxed. I figure that with him as a guest we'd sit around the table drinking scotch and smoking cigars as we listened to him lament about the winter lasting forever but looking on the bright side that spring would be coming soon...symbolism, class!
3. Julius Caesar, a military genius, politician, and poet. Caesar was an amazing individual. I'd love to pick his brain and ask him why I had to translate his writings in freshmen Latin class. I would debate whether or not "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres" and if he was a gambling man because he once said, "Alea iacta est". I'd also ask him if he had to say "puella, puella, puellam, puellae, puellā, puellae, puellae, puellae, puellās, puellarum, puellis, puellis, puellis". Also Caesar could feed us with his salad.
4. Adolf Hitler, yes you heard me right...Hitler. I would like to ask him where he got the balls to do what he did and maybe if there was time, I'd ask him to paint me a picture. The main reason why I sat him in seat #4 is because that is in the corner and at the end of the dinner the rest of the guest and myself could gang up and stop a mudhole in him.
5. Sarah Silverman, I find her hilarious and Jewish. She would be seated next to Hitler because I think he'd find her hot even though she is verboten. I think he'd also like her jokes about Jews.
6. Bettie Page, there's something about her that just makes me giddy. I also have fond memories of her because my grandfather had pin-ups of her in his leather repair shop. Yes, my grandfather had photos of a woman clad in leather exhibiting forms of S&M in his leather shop. We get freaky because of all the snow.
7. You, I'd sit you in the best seat in the house, my right hand side because that is the seat of honor and I have bad hearing so I could lean over and you would have my good ear.
Rob_of_the_Sky, I know you're standing outside the door making faces at us. Get to the principal's office immediately! I was so pleased that I'm giving each of you an A. I didn't give you an A+ because I don't want any of you slacking and there's always room for improvement.
