Today, WFMU's lunch-chat was ruled by one all-powerful topic: FANTASY LUNCH CAMP. After much debate and a slew of celebrity rejections (Josef Mengele and Michael J. Fox each received a pink slip), it was decided upon by all in attendance that the Ultimate Lunchtable Conversation Crew would consist 
of the following members:
- Richard Belzer
- Eileen Brennan
- Eric Bogosian
- Dee Snyder
- Rachael Ray, that useless little tart
I imagine all of these people would have much to say, yet nothing to say to each other. Magic!!!
Today's participating nomination committee was: Wendy the Cheese Lady, Mike Lupica, Megan Murphy, Liz Berg, Nick The Bard, Bill Zurat, and yours truly. You'd think we'd've been happy to just talk to each other.
Your task: share with us your Fantasy Lunch Camp, or provide dialog for the one we've chosen.
I hope Eileen Brennan comes to Fantasy Lunch Camp in character as Mrs. Peacock. She would add just the right amount of intrigue and hysteria.

I want a lunch conversation where everyone would just get along like crazy and talk over the top of each other. With maybe one dark horse to throw the whole thing off...
Cranky/crazy men's lunch at some dive diner (the Flamingo would actually be ideal):
Seymour Cassel
Lee Hazlewood
Charles Mingus
John Fante
Dark horse: Soren Keirkegaard
Awesome ladies' three martini brunch:
Carson McCullers
Elaine May
Maggie Estep
Pat Keck (www.patkeck.com)
Dark horse: Rhonda Shear

These read like guest lists from episodes of The Joe Franklin Show. I hope you at least have him lined up to host these luncheons.

Lenny Bruce
Slavoj Zizek
William James

it's really a great testament to the mind of the wfmu blog reader that most of those we chose are intellectuals rather than musicians. we're smart !! and sooooo well rounded !
Seymour Cassel huh? good one !
i wanna put Cassevettes in place of my Phyllis Diller, cuz i'm a copycat.
