The aliens who came to tea

M is for martian martini party at Mama's place (thank you Jenny Matlock of Alphabe-Thursday). As such, I'm belatedly taking up the lovely Kate Takes 5 on her suggestion to assemble a dream guest list.

Now I suspect my fabulous five guests won't actually attend because they are either too famous and paranoid to talk to me, or don't exist in this dimension and would therefore encounter vast logistical difficulties in making greater London for 8pm*.

Interplanetary starter for five.  
But here goes:
  1. Mary Poppins. I suspect she is pretty crazy-fun after five martinis to help the canapés go down. 
  2. Zaphod Beeblebrox. Just this dinner party guy, you know?  
  3. Po from 'Kung Fu Panda'. As an aspiring Soup Developer I am desperate to get my hands on the secret ingredient.
  4. Luc Besson. I'm hoping he can turn my living room into the cool futuristic world from 'The Fifth Element' for an evening. 
  5. Tom Waits. There's got to be music, and I'd imagine the aforementioned four guests are pretty keen on 'Swordfishtrombones'.  
Unlikely as it seems, perhaps the fabulous five will sit down at a martini bar together someday in a galaxy far, far away.

  1. This would be quite a gathering. It would be fun to be a fly on the wall and hear the conversations that would flow from person to person.

  2. I have a feeling there would be never a dull moment if you could pull this one off!

  4. Thanks for stopping by at dummiesndoghairs - Great to have found you! Not too keen on Tom Waits but M Poppins would be fun - maybe fun isn't the right word. She'd be bossy and efficient and she'd break into song - always good for sidetracking the guests from a tricky conversation! From a fellow LNS :-)

  5. Ok have to admit I'm lost on 2 and 3 but man you make up for it with your next two! If the invite's still open I would love to attend! Thanks for taking part. x

  6. Thanks guys--virtual martinis all round for anyone who can make it. Sadly virtual martinis are not as delicious as real martinis, but they are far less likely to get you into trouble...

  15. Plus, if you invite Mary Poppins she can snap her fingers and everything will clean up itself afterwards *L*

  16. I'd love to sip a martini (dry, two olives) with Mary Poppins, one of my early heroines. Could you please ask Sean Bean as well?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Thanks guys, you are all welcome to pop in for a drink--Pondside, Sean Bean can come too. Mub, I'll admit that was my ulterior motive in inviting Mary Poppins...well that and the jumping into chalk drawings thing, which looks a pretty fun party trick.

  19. What a fun imagination you have! Love the idea of this guest list! I suspect there might be so pretty cool stuff going down at a gathering such as this!

    And that fruit platter? Absolutely gorgeous.

    Nice to see you here this week.

    Thank you for linking.

    A+

  21. I would definitely like Mary Poppins, but I think I might be difficult to let her go at the end of the night (you can't let a nanny like that go without a fight!). Maybe drug her food, chain her to the table after a few Martinis?

  22. Hah! TAR, You have outed on my other hidden motive--with Mary Poppins safely entrapped here, I might be able to actually pop out for a pint of milk unencumbered...bliss.

  23. Fab guestlist! If Mary does turn up can you get her to pop over to mine afterwards? Bear was showing us how he eats beetles and Billy threw up. Yuk.

  24. Thanks Mummy@Bod--Mary Poppins is on her way, but a bit wobbly, so it may be a while...
