Come Dine With Me

Today’s Prompt: You get to plan a dinner party for 4-8 of your favorite writers/artists/musicians/other notable figures, whether dead or alive. Who do you seat next to whom in order to inspire the most fun evening?

Weirdest Dinner Party

I will invite the following to my fictitious dinner party:

• Gordon Ramsay – He may cook for us. If not, he may entertain us with his criticism of the food and his constant swearing.
• Hannibal Lecter- I want to know how he would manipulate the other guests. Who knows, he may (literalily) fry our brains  at the end of the night!
• Dr. House – Purely for his wits and sarcasm, and the potential debate between him and Gordon.
• Dr. Sheldon Cooper – Which seat will be his spot? How will he cope with the power struggle between the other guests? Who will he talk to? I’m very intrigued.
• Karl Pilkington from An Idiot Abroad – What will he moan about and how much will he moan?
• Oprah Winfrey – She may give all of us cars, free trips and houses at the end of the night!
• A minion from Despicable Me – Why not, right? They’re fun to be around.

And the Top 10 Picks of the 2014 NBA draft are…

So the wait is over. Andrew Wiggins has been confirmed as the NBA’s Number 1 Draft Pick this year. He was picked by the Cavaliers but will he stay there? I don’t know…

Andrew Wiggins

Jabari Parker was picked no. 2 by Milwaukee. Parker is exciting. He’s my favourite player out of all the draftees this year. I hope he does well.

The Sixers then selected Joel Embiid, who I thought would be the number one pick. He is very highly rated but his recent foot injury puts a huge, huge question mark on his future. He’s out for at least 4 months. Goodness knows when he’d be healthy and productive. I wish him well, too.

Joel Embiid

The Orlando Magic selected 6’8″ forward Aaron Gordon. Gordon’s a world-class athlete who can run and defend any position. He’s a bit of an enigma for me.

The fifth pick by the Jazz was the 18 year-old, 6’6″ Autralian point gurad, Dante Exum.

The 6th pick, Marcus Smart , is going to Boston to play for the Celtics. Smart is a point guard that drives harder than anyone. He has a 6’9″ wing-span, he is a great defender, but a bad shooter. Would he be a good fit with Rondo? Hmmm…

Marcus Smart

Julius Randle joins the LA Lakers as the 7th ovrall pick. He’s a great rebounder who kind of reminds people of Zach Randolph in the way he works in the paint.

Nik Stauskas goes 8th with the Kings. Stauskas is a great, great shooter.

The New Orleans HORNETS (no longer the Pelicans, remember!), selected Noah Vonleh as the 9th pick. He has a 7’4″ wing-span!

The 10th pick (Philly) pick was Elfrid Payton.

GOOD LUCK TO THEM ALL!!!
