Pinkfreud, if you could meet and have lunch with any person, living or
dead, who would it be?  :-)  (Intended as tip for #306788.)

Jesus Christ!

No, I am not swearing. That's who I want to have lunch with. :-)

Aside from the incalculable theological benefits, we'd save money on
the deal, since He could create some nice loaves & fishes for the
entree. And He's famous for turning water into wine, so the bar tab
would be zilch.

Also, He suits your description of a "person, living or dead," to a tee. 

Many thanks for the "tip" and the thought-provoking question!

Pink,

It better be me.

P.S.  I'm living.

I have a funny accent that would surely make table talk very
entertaining for you. Choose me, Pink!

Aw, Pink, I do hope that you are going to choose me. After all, I am
the Chairman of your Fan Club and I'm sure that I could fix you up
with LOTS of sponsorship deals: Pinkfreud Beer; Pinkfreud Chocolates;
Pinkfreud Catfish; Pinkfreud Holidays .... C'mon think BIG!

Pinkpanther is the best one to have a date for her, he is funny, he
does not say foolishness and better than all he is PINK!!

I am sorry to disappoint my GA colleagues and customers by not having
invited them to lunch.

I would like to arrange a huge, lavish dinner party for all of us,
customers and Researchers alike. And the Google Answers Editors will
be invited as well, to keep us on our best behavior and prevent us
from starting a food-fight.

The Pink Panther can come, but only if he brings Inspector Clouseau with him.

We will dine on pink champagne (pink lemonade for the teetotalers),
pink grapefuit, and pink salmon.

Scriptor will wear tan shoes with pink shoelaces, a polka-dot vest,
and a big Pickelhaube with a purple hat-band.

Pafalafa will bring many cream pies (pink ones, of course) which will
be thrown at appropriate intervals.

Livioflores will provide flowers for the centerpiece.

Probonopublico will dispose of any leftover morsels by feeding them to
his delightful dog Daisy, who will be permitted to lurk under the
table so long as she keeps her voice down.

And afterward, jhabley-ga will take us all out to the movies.

If it is Jesus Christ I will invite myself to that lunch! :)

As I understand it, there is room at the banquet for all who wish to partake.
