Posted by: Hemlok Jul 16 2007, 01:11 PM

Good call.

I think I would like to have lunch with Jimi Hendrix, at a coffee shop in Amsterdam.

Posted by: mattacuk Jul 16 2007, 01:13 PM

The Actress Jennifer Garner, cause i think shes pretty

Posted by: The Uncreator Jul 16 2007, 02:55 PM

Homer Simpson, at KFC.

Posted by: Travelin' Man Jul 16 2007, 03:56 PM

There are too many. John Wayne, or Geronimo, but I think that I would like to sit in camp with Robert E. Lee, and discuss, over a few bourbons, the foolishness of charging thru that dang open field at Gettysburg.

Posted by: shredmandan Jul 16 2007, 04:02 PM

I would have to say James Hetfield at his crib.

Posted by: mattacuk Jul 16 2007, 04:07 PM

HOw did i miss that idea

Posted by: Hemlok Jul 16 2007, 04:11 PM

Because you have got fishing on your mind!

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Jul 16 2007, 04:29 PM

The Whole Chili Peppers band, In Mexico , for a huge lunch ! Woot !!!!


- John

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jul 16 2007, 04:48 PM

See Matt, fishing can be harmful to your guitar playing

And my pick would be:

The Geico Gecko at Ruccis (a now defunct UK curry house - best indian food ever )

Posted by: Pavel Jul 16 2007, 04:54 PM

I go for Santa Clause!!

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jul 16 2007, 04:57 PM

Ooh, yes - good one

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jul 16 2007, 05:09 PM

Zack De La Rocha (right spelling?) At a Tim Hortons(BEST STORE EVER ) or Hansi ooorrr Claudio Sanchez and discuss the plotline of The Armory Wars or In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth.... im so confused by coheed and cambria love the music tho.

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jul 16 2007, 05:13 PM

Hey Smikey, how about "<insert favourtite guitarist here> at Griffen Music Store" ????

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jul 16 2007, 05:15 PM

Well funny story is, i think im gunna have to take my lunch breaks at tim hortons for those not in canada its a coffee shop that can basically be found everywhere.. every corner has one, and im addicted, coffee made every 15 minutes I'm trying to have Tim Hortons written off as a business expense buuutt i bet people can see the problem there

Posted by: ibanezkiller Jul 16 2007, 05:23 PM

Wes Montgomery at TGI Fridays.

Posted by: rokchik Jul 16 2007, 05:29 PM

Smikey...if you don't object, I'd like join you and Zack and bring Tom Morello along for some chicken soup and a boston cream. Maybe we could convince them to do another Rage album over a Double Double (for the non Tim Hortons people this means a coffee with two cream and two sugar. )

Also I wouldn't mind dining with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant at the Bombay Bicycle Club in Bermuda. Best Butter Chicken ever...with nann bread and rice and Mango chutney and pompadoms... mmmmmm I'm getting hungry.

Posted by: mattacuk Jul 16 2007, 05:31 PM

Someone buy Andrew a Fising Rod!

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jul 16 2007, 05:38 PM

Mmmm - curry I miss it, curry in the USA is just not the same



Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jul 16 2007, 05:59 PM

Sounds like a great time.. my question is what happened to the bread bowls they used to have like chicken stew in a bread bowl and i havn't seen it in years!

Posted by: Robin Jul 16 2007, 08:00 PM

This is a tough question. I could have said Odd Nordstoga or Gylve "Fenriz" Nagell, but they are pretty normal guys and thats cool, but if I could meet 1 dude, no matter who, it would have to be a super famous legend or something!

I'd have to say Johnny Winter.

Where? At his place(wherever he lives) listening to music!


But when I think about it, Jesus was an interesting choice. I'd like to know what silly magic tricks he used to fool people for 2000 years(and more to come probably).

Posted by: Pantalaimon Jul 16 2007, 08:49 PM

hmmm.....i have quite a couple so please excuse me.

-Oscar Wilde, J.D. Salinger, and F. Scott Fitzgerald at any comfortable corner coffee shop (maybe Ernest Hemmingway could come too...maybe).

-Philip Pullman at any good cafe in Oxford, UK

- Sam Harris at Kerby Lane (local 24 hr diner)

- All of Sigur Ros....at their studio in Iceland.

- Patrick Stump and Justin Pierre at any good burger/hot dog joint in Chicago

- John Mayer - anywhere

- John Ondrasik at a piano bar.

there would be more but I've given too many answers already.

Posted by: ZakkWylde Jul 16 2007, 09:02 PM

I would go into the next best bar where we can get Back-Tooth-Grin(Crown Royal Whiskey with coke) with Dimebag Darrel - RIP

Posted by: Ryan Jul 16 2007, 09:11 PM

bruce lee, at wendy's

Posted by: Gen Jul 16 2007, 09:14 PM

haha good one

Posted by: Fsgdjv Jul 16 2007, 09:28 PM

Wow, that's really hard..

I won't be boring and chose a musician, even though both Åkerfeldt and Kristoffer Rygg would be interesting to have lunch with.

I won't pick an actor either, but Natalie Portman would be intersting, since she's in my opinion the worlds greatest actress and she seems to be an intersting person, but an actor would be a bit simple.

No, I would pick http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goichi_Suda, at Hard Rock Cafe in Tokyo. He seems incredibly interesting and smart. Not to mention, the man's got style. Definetly one of the most interesting persons I know about, and I admire his work a lot.

Posted by: mattacuk Jul 17 2007, 09:41 AM

Am I the only one who wanted lunch with a pretty ladie?! One track mind i guess

Posted by: Fsgdjv Jul 17 2007, 11:25 PM

Pfft, I had a pretty (and pro) lady as my second choice, not first just because it would be too predictable to have it as my first choice

Posted by: Kaneda Jul 17 2007, 11:43 PM

Hehe, Pullman is an interesting - and good - choice, even if it doesn't come as a surprise from you, Pan

- Liszt and Chopin, anywhere near a piano. Would like to hear first hand Chopin's rubato, and Liszt's playing in general

- Jorge Luis Borges, at a cafe in Prague.

- Muse, just about anywhere, because they always tend to cause crazy, havocy fun - and I'd like to dig a bit into Bellamy's eccentric obsession-filled brain...



Nah, I agree with you on the choice

Posted by: Slammer Jul 18 2007, 12:42 AM

I would have Lunch with Kristofer Dahl at a all you can eat Pizza Buffet.

Although I'm not sure he like Pizza.

Posted by: tonymiro Jul 18 2007, 01:00 AM

If Kris is paying .

Good to see you're back Slammer .

Cheers,
Tony



My old favourite curry house in the UK air freights vacuum packed curries around the world Andrew. When I lived in the UK I used to think people were mad to get them but now I understand the need . As much as I love Spanish food a great curry is rather yummy (preferably along with a lot of beer ).

Cheers,
Tony

ps I'd go with Ricky Gervaise - as he's funny - and,a s I've already mentioned curry, a take-out from the Brighton Grove in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Posted by: Slammer Jul 18 2007, 01:00 AM

Thanks

Around here the Pizza buffets are only $4!

For Pizza, Pasta, Salad, and Desert all you can eat!!

Posted by: tonymiro Jul 18 2007, 01:06 AM

4 USD - well maybe Kris can stand us all lunch then Slammer

Cheers,
Tony

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Jul 18 2007, 03:07 AM

Id like to maybe have some alone time with Andrew or Pavels Jem .


-John

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jul 18 2007, 03:08 AM

Really ?????? PM Me their address!!!!!!! I'm begging !!!!!

Posted by: brandon Jul 18 2007, 03:57 AM

Dude, what pizza buffet are you going to, Ci Ci's?!?!? man....i've eaten there before....and..well, it's a meal...not a great one, but still a meal...i guess it didn't stop me from stuffing my face though.

Posted by: Slammer Jul 18 2007, 05:31 AM

lol

we have Cici's here (never been there before though)

the place I go to is a Italian style place called Bellante's.

it's pretty much the same as cici's I think.

I know it's not papa johns, but for only 4 bucks.... It's great!!

Posted by: mattacuk Jul 18 2007, 10:39 AM

I will Mail you some curry in a jiffy bag!!!! whats your address?

Posted by: Hemlok Jul 18 2007, 10:47 AM

wow wow wow! Is it the best curry you have ever had? or did you have a lot of beer before you had it? I never have curry unless i make myself Usually when i hit the town and need a midnight snack, there always magically seems to be a Kebab shop. And that tastes like the best thing ever! (but with a lot of juice in the belly)

Curry I love the most, especially if it melts my face off! What is the hottest chili you can get does anyone here know?

- Hemlok

Posted by: tonymiro Jul 18 2007, 11:31 AM

Seriously good curry Hemlock - drunk or sober. Problem I have with Kebabs after a curry - and it does always seem like a good idea at the time - is when it catches up on you the next day.

Worst after beers takeout I can remember is a friend who had a kebab followed by a deep fired pizza and a deep fired mars bar followed by a multi coloured yawn outside. Not a pretty sight .

V hot curries though reminds me of the old joke (ahem) - eat a vindaloo when depressed. The bottom won't fall out of your world but the world will fall out of your bottom. Tadaa.

Cheers,
Tony

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jul 18 2007, 02:30 PM

Thanks Man - Lamb Dhansak please



That's especially funny given that I had a Chicken Vindaloo last night - Vindaloo is one dish they do well over here Of course my eyes didn't bleed so it could have been a little hotter, but it was good!

Posted by: Hemlok Jul 18 2007, 02:53 PM

very good, you dialed a smile on my face phone. Ah.

Multi coloured yawn gee i haven't heard that one before but it is certainly one of the nicest way's of putting it i think. hehe. I have had completely black rainbow yawns (which is not good, but im fairly sure it wasn't a blood yawn, just a strong black bile stout)

As for the vindaloo, my world hasnt gone upside down and out the back exit as the result of a curry, either i am lucky, or i am not having hot enough.

thanks

- Hemlok

Posted by: tonymiro Jul 18 2007, 03:42 PM

few years ago there was a newspaper story in Newcastle (and I believe everything that I read in the press ) about a woman who ate a v dodgy kebab. She claimed it made her hair fall out in clumps and made her vomit. She went to the hospital who put a fibreoptic scope into her to check her out and reported that her throat etc had lessions and had turned a horrid shade of pink, She sued the kebab shop owner for damages, won but oddly when she sent someone to collect the cafe was now in the hands of the guy's identical, long lost twin who didn't know where his brother was... It was all in the newspaper so must be true .

I've done the black vomit as well Hemlock- but not for ages . Andrew try curry paste - got a friend that virtual eats it out of the tube, madman - if you want your eyes to bleed and your head to explode . You really need some decent lager to go with it - don't think it can be sent in a jiffy bag though .

Cheers,
Tony

Buckethead in his theme park. That would be like the weirdest, craziest, expirience that I could imagine.

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jul 19 2007, 11:59 PM

For those of you who care as deeply about English curry as I do, just wanted to let you all know I was in New Jersey today and found a place that served Lamb Dhansak ... not the best I have ever had but reasonable, and the first in a very long time ... ahhhh

Posted by: tonymiro Jul 20 2007, 12:52 AM

Yea Andrew - but now you really need to update your gear list Jem, Lamb Dhansak...

Luck with the Quest for a perfect Curry (surely destined to be the next Terry Pratchet book?)

For me though it's a Chicken Jal Fraisi (or how ever its spelt ). High point of my week'a holiday in the UK. Low point was Pizzahut. (Could have been worse - my mum suggested the 'Golden Arches' for a lunch which my daughter refused - good girl )

Cheers,
Tony

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jul 20 2007, 12:57 AM

A worthy dish - I like that too I'll email Terry now and get him started, meanwhile, I'll note that your daughter had great taste

Posted by: VinceG Jul 20 2007, 06:40 AM

man you guys loooove middle eastern dish or w/e.

I personally love Japanese, Korean, and Filipino food.

Posted by: mattacuk Jul 20 2007, 08:52 AM

I will go with you! "Watch out for Giant Robot"!!!

Posted by: VinceG Jul 20 2007, 09:39 PM

haha that would be killer.

I saw a Giant Robot toy in an anime store near my house. Pretty cool. Im thinking of buying it. Also a lot of Ultraman dolls which Buckethead really likes.

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jul 21 2007, 05:26 AM

I do not like spicy food.. i love chineese food tho.. real chinese food not all this deep fried stuff.. also my new choice would be Siddhartha Gautama under a Tree with a simple meal of bread, water and apples maybe some cheese.. this thread is making me hungry so i'm gunna eat

Posted by: VinceG Jul 23 2007, 11:19 PM

haha Siddharta thats a good choice.

I would have have chose Dahlia Lama and learn some teachings. I would have loved to meet him on his childhood days. Even buckethead, I wonder what was he like as a kid.
