Ya know, I'm pretty sure I took a psych test that asked the same question ... and my answer confused the doctor *insert disturbing giggle*
Kevin Smith: because he is a god of script and screen, equalled only by Joss Whedon. Lunch would consist of fast food and hanging around Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash in NJ, chatting comics while I surreptitiously contractually obligate him to proofread my current scrrenplay.
The blue diva from Fifth element: because I want to be her if I grow up. Lunch would consist of her speaking telepathically and in sign language telling me to stop kissing her boots and let her get back to her soup. I'd go back to my candy bar and strawberry daquiry and she wouldn't talk to me anymore because her strict vocal discipline denies her the consumption of most forms of chocolate and all forms of alcohol.
My dad: because my dad was cool. Corny, I know, but I couldn't think of a third famous person that wouldn't be the obvious answer here in FFF.net.
Yay for random psych evals!

well, with michio, I wouldn't care what I was eating. He is a genius and deserves to be waited on while he explains the Unified Theory to me.
Ann and I would share rich yummy sickening foods and drink cape cods whille we discuss the proper hip movements for harem dancing.
If I had the chance to eat with my dear Vincent, it would be a simple bouillabaisse and some light wine.
If lunch with Zoid and Mal presented itslef, I would carefully lay low and offer comfort and creme brulee if anyone ended up chained to something.
The big question then is what would I eat with Static and Jefe? I don't know. I think I would just dance around a bit and have a few shots of vodka or something to keep loose enough to feel comfortable in the outfit.

great question Zoid!
I probably could come up with a hundred...
but just three?
1. Joss Whedon
2. Jane Austen
3. Max Shulman (who created Dobie Gillis)
I'd like the four of us to meet up for a nice long meal...
and I would just listen and laugh.

If you're referring to the dance form of 'raqs sharki', you can ask your questions here. I'm not quite sure what a harem dance would be outside of some pathetic hollywood producer loser's idea of what 'belly dance' is.

How odd. How very odd... Not what you would expect.
As something of an amateur historian, one would think that this magical ability would be used by me to find out some secrets of the past that nobody else could know. Or to commune with some of the great or creative people of history.
Adam, Moses, Christ, Mary Magdelene from the Bible.
Possibilities from literature would be Homer, Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Tolkein (okay, I'm a LOTR geek!).
Possibilities from the world of science would be Newton, Einstein, Hawking.
Military? Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, William the Conquerer, Napoleon, Robert E. Lee.
Politics? Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Lincoln.
Yes, no doubt, after some careful thought, I would actually pick from among these worthies.
But do you know who I thought of first, on the spur of the moment?
My three favorite virtual females: Mal-licious, ThatWeirdGirl, and Ebonezer.
How nice it would be for the four of us to meet in the real world, as the real people behind these aliases?
After all, I already know who The Real Me is...

Kurt Cobaine, just to find out whether or not it was suicide, or if it was murder. cough murder cough
Dave Grohl, just because that guy picked himself up and became famous...again...
Henry Rollins, just because he is so cool, and he's farking hilarious

The Gentle Giver Goddess, 'Lish tried to convince me:
Quote:
...Oh, and I PROMISE I won't shackle you to anything. Funny, Gunhand had a very similar scenario. What aren't you telling me?
Although we may be cut from the same cloth, to paraphrase F. Gump, Gunhand and I are not relations. While we agreed on most everything, I have a deep distrust of handguns, or more specifically the power they represent in the hands of those who wield them.
Gunny might have said, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Another wag might have responded, "Guns don't kill people, bullets do"; but I'd have said, "Actually the bullets don't kill people either, it's the cellular disruption that gets 'em." It's this third-order reasoning that separates me from most of my fellow humans, in a most irreconcilable way.
Indivisibly,
zoid
P.S.
I didn't just fall off the rutabaga cart. I don't believe for a second that you would not take advantage of me, and transfix me in some compromising position, given half a chance and a handy digital camera. Can anyone say BlueSun Room? In your case, TANSTAAFL...

Nice fantasy, dude.
Just remember: Proper backfill lighting can make or break your amateur video project.But, when I said "3 people", I didn't necessarily mean all at once (or even serially within the same 'lunch', as in your scenario). What I originally meant was you and one lunch guest; who would the top 3 choices be? What single personality would you want to converse with (ideally, just about 'stuff', not necessarily their work) in order to find out who they really were?
As a consequence, The Three Stooges or the Marx Brothers would actually be considered just one guest. Sean Young, on the other hand, would be at least five. And if you chose Zhon-Clod Van Damn, you'd still have all three choices remaining...
Clarifyingly,
zoid
P.S.
On the other hand, if y'all really want to have a luncheon party with your favorites, rather than an intimate one-on-one, who am I to argue? I just think it's perhaps harder to get a feel for who someone really is in a group dynamic. How can anyone truly meet The Real Me under such circumstances? ...Unless Mal brought along her trusty, portable volcano, that is.

* The Real Me is in awe. *
Mal-licious has her own VOLCANO?
P.S. Zoid, there is also something to be said for a group dynamic, where the whole becomes greater than its pieces.

A slight twist, hopefully in keeping with the spirit of the thread. Let's make a day of it.
breakfast: Jewel Staite. If she can't make it, Heidi Klum. I need to explain this? Thought not. Who cares if the coffee gets cold?
lunch: Marshall McLuhan. Because for the time being television is the most powerful propoganda medium. I'd work on having him clarify my fascination, and explain if it really represents some id-focussed substitute for religion.
dinner: Noam Chomsky. Over hors d'oeuvres I'd bemoan the fact that no major publisher will touch his work, then just let him rant thru the remaining courses.
Consistency is the hobgoblin of simple minds.
