Win a $100 dinner!

Carolyn Crane over at The Thrillionth Page has created the Trapped in a Restaurant meme game to celebrate one of the many mysteries of Mind Games (of which she is the author):
Why does tortured mastermind Sterling Packard NEVER ever set foot outside the Mongolian Delites restaurant? Anybody anywhere can play.

Prizes:
First Prize: One randomly chosen player will get $100 toward a fancy dinner at a restaurant of their choice! (Any restaurant anywhere that accepts plastic or sells gift certificates. You don’t have to choose until you win.) Second prize: $50 toward a dinner.

How to play:
Just post the questions, your answers, meme icon and meme game line on social media site (blog, facebook, livejournal, other).

Below is all you have to put (but make up your own answers!). And before you ask, no I haven't read it, so I'm not sure who Sterling Packard is, but I have seen the cover around before and when I get a chance I'll check it out to see if it's any good. (And let you know, of course.):



1. In MIND GAMES, hypochondriac heroine Justine Jones can’t figure out why tortured mastermind Sterling Packard never sets foot outside the Mongolian Delites restaurant. What if you were somehow trapped in a restaurant, what sort of restaurant would you prefer?

Tandoori Grill, our current favorite Indian Restaurant. I could eat their Paneer Masala for days.

2. What if you won the fancy $100 dinner to a restaurant of your choice, and you could dine with any character from any book, movie, or history. Who would you choose?

Atticus Finch, from To Kill A Mockingbird came to mind first, although a variety of Dicken's characters came to mind.

3. Choose three characters to dine with for a lively dinner party (you can define lively however you want).

Ah, well I mentioned the Dicken's characters. Just about any of the characters from Cranford, by Elizabeth Gaskell would be a hoot. (If you haven't read it, at least see the movie and you'll understand...)

and Why?

Dicken's characters are just that - characters. They would be fascinating conversation. And as I said before, Gaskell's Cranford characters for the most part would make me laugh till my sides split.

Hey! Thanks for playing! I love the idea of Dickens characters at a dinner. The way he can go on and on about every little detail of a character and bring them to life, and you so KNOW them.
