Maybe with you Kirk !
I would ask for instance: "Is your new avatar a presentation of one of your self- created stage characters ?
By the way ... Say hi to the Lady Chablis for me !
I would like to have dinner with Mr. Joshka Fischer, Bundesaussenminister, Secretary of State of the Federal Republic of Germany. He knows his stuff, has an independent and interesting view on foreign affairs. He is a member of Die Grünen, the German Greens.
To make things even more interesting I would invite Condoleeza (sp?) Rice and Monsieur de Villepin, secretary of state of La Douce France.
For desert with loads of whipped cream I would invite Dolly Parton ...
Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne. Stephen has some special needs, but... as long as we are phantasizing here...
Hawking has no need for his chair. Thorne opens the dialogue over a salad of green beans and prawn... with a dill,vinagrette dressing... Later, we proceed into the Lobster and steak and they are wildly exchanging ideas on the nature of limits of information transfer out of a black hole. They ask me to moderate the debate....
Heaven. Fantasy. Oh well...
The desert was good too. The best fruit plate ever invented. Ten of every kind of fruit. All ripe. All perfect. And ... oh yea... almost forgot . A really good Cognac while the debate goes into the wee hours.

Neal Stephenson.
Who is Mr. Stephenson? I know he is not my old neighber from Osmond, Wyoming. He died a few years back. Good man, he was.
<edit> Ah. Futurist Historian... interesting. I will try to read some of his. Any suggestions?
Wait a da*ned Minute! Did I just say "Futurist Historian"? Crap! The Niddley Twinkles finally got me! I'm doomed! Hep!
