Dinner with Tom Porteous

Deputy Director

Human Rights Watch

**I just found out it's not a fundraiser.**

 

[avoiding injuries]

How much?

 

[Hawks64]

sure why not?

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Is it an All-White dinner?

 

[chet]

How much?

No cost other than they may ask for a donation. I will have to ask if it's a fundraiser.

 

[Sarnoff]

No. Going to be a total bummer. No way are you going to get good food. They're gonna serve some free-range carrots or something that have never been handled by slave labor or some crap like that. In other words, boring. You're not going to get a decent steak or dine on something exotic like panda meat or rotisserie bald eagle with that guy.

 

[McGarnicle]

Is there any chance you'll get to have sex with him?

 

[chet]

sure why not?

vs Bruins that night

No. He's all yours that night.

 

[Wingnut]

Yes, but brown bag your own food. While everyone else is eating crap, you whip out a burger and fries and go to town.

 

[Henry Ford]

Dinner with Tom Porteous

Deputy Director

Human Rights Watch

Yes, but keep confusing him with other people:

Phil Keoghan (host of the Amazing Race, who he looks like)

Thomas Porteous (disgraced federal judge from Louisiana)

 

[Hawks64]

sure why not?

vs Bruins that night

Well then I change my vote.

 

[Henry Ford]

Man, Thomas, you've lost a lot of weight since those hearings. And have you had some work done? That hair looks almost real.

Human Rights Watch

Make sure to ask him what the right thinks about his coverage of Israel. That'll really get the conversation flowing.

And ask him about the Nazi memorabilia guy.

Depends on whether Joe Pesci be there.

 

[johnnycakes]

I'd go if they show films of people being tortured.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

You are not a true American until you've had rotisserie bald eagle.

 

[fantasycurse42]

I'd go, but minimum I'd have to collect would be 20 racks.

I save my celebrity encounters for the Kentucky Derby.

#### no

If they have any experience fund-raising they know what to serve, regardless of the cause.

They also know how to shake down the people who show up. Be prepared to drop $1000 on this free dinner.

vs Bruins that night

I voted yes tentatively, but where's the dinner (maybe just describe the restaurant if you don't want to name the place) and who're the Bruins playing?

Also if you go you should drink heavily and ask provocative questions, like what to do about human rights violations by Putin, Syria and Iran. If you go, get loaded and have fun. If you can't do that go see the Bruins and forget about the world's troubles for a while.

Tight vote.

 

[Apple Jack]

Sounds awful. Fundraiser dinners almost always suck. In fact, most formal dinners of more than just your friends suck.
