Trapped On A Desert Island..
..and this is all you can bring:
One meal One dessert One snack food One kind of drink (let's pretend plenty of fresh water is already provided) One CD One DVD One book One magazine or newspaper subscription One person One celebrity One "free item" (of your liking and choosing, except no plane tickets or boat/raft rides! Your'e doing a minimum hard year on this island!) Now, I'm well aware that there are all kinds of glaring holes in my list ("but won't we need a TV? A DVD player? A stereo?" "Won't we run out of supplies?" What if I need an oven for my meal?" "How about I just bring my iPod and then I'll have all of my CD's?" "My free item will be a ticket to get off the damn island!" etc.) Let's ignore the glaring holes and suspend disbelief all in the name of a silly Thread! :D I'll post mine soon (I'm already in trouble for taking a time-out to post a Thread. I'm really having a lazy week at work!) Here's to lazy summer days :cheers: ... |
One meal - Pizza from Little Toni's wil all the toppings.
One dessert - Brownies, chewy, no nuts. One snack food - Trail mix. One kind of drink (let's pretend plenty of fresh water is already provided) - Green Iced Tea One CD - Dave Matthews Band - Before these Crowded Streets One DVD - The Women One book - The Stand - Stephen King - Unabridged One magazine or newspaper subscription - National Geographic One person - My best friend Jules One celebrity - Duh, Dave Matthews One "free item" (of your liking and choosing, except no plane tickets or boat/raft rides! Your'e doing a minimum hard year on this island!) - A Blank journal that never runs out of pages... |
One meal - dim sun
One dessert - carrot cake from The Blue Mussel, Prince Edward Island One snack food - peanut butter One kind of drink (let's pretend plenty of fresh water is already provided) - Good Earth iced tea One CD - Getz/Gilberto because Brazilian bossa nova is the perfect soundtrack for life as an island castaway One DVD - "Ratatouille" One book - Up in the Old Hotel by Joseph Mitchell One magazine or newspaper subscription - The New Yorker One person - the hubbo One celebrity - Ty Pennington. He can build a shelter and look mighty fine doing it. One "free item" - knitting needles and plenty of yarn |
|
One meal - Sesame Chicken
One dessert - None One snack food - Trail mix One kind of drink - Gatorade One CD - None. I think 1 disc would make me miss the others too much. One DVD - See above One book - Back to Basics One magazine or newspaper subscription - None One person - Dick Cheney One celebrity - Paris Hilton One "free item"- a toolkit |
Sam has conversation with Paris Hilton. Sam begs Dick Cheney to shoot him in the face.
My own list after the jump. Or, you know, later. |
The answer to all 11 is Fried Green Tomatoes.

just off the top of my head

I'll treat this as more of a "it is your last day before you're executed, what do you do for the following" than on a desert island. I can't think of any book, magazine, CD, etc. that I would want to be stuck with as my sole entertainment.
One meal - Bellagio Sunday brunch buffet. One dessert - My lemon souffle, which with all due humility is the best dessert I've ever had. One snack food - A king size pack of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups One kind of drink - I'm not much of a drinker but let's say a good lemonade. One CD - Gah. What would I do with a CD? Coaster for the drink so anything. One DVD - All About Eve One book - I don't really have a favorite book and it would vary a lot depending on mood at the time. The Education of Henry Adams, Crime & Punishment, The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant (if I can find a single volume edition) would all be contenders. One magazine or newspaper subscription - Atlantic as the non-practical. Bamboo and Coconut Construction as the more pracitcal. One person - Lani. One celebrity - I have no interest in celebrity for celebrity's sake. If there is a promise of putting out then circa-1988 Elle MacPherson. One "free item" - A condom. Who knows where Ms. MacPherson has been? |

Whew! Okay, I'm finally answering!
One meal: Macaroni n' cheese- that's my comfort food! One dessert: Pinkberry! An original topped with fresh blueberries, sweet coconut shavings and carob chips. One snack food: Tortilla chips with salsa and guacamole. One kind of drink: Margaritas! (C'mon, it's a tropical paradise fantasy! :cheers: ) One CD : Dream Of The Blue Turtles~ Sting. One DVD : Definitely a season of The Simpsons. Or, maybe Friends! One book: The Bible (for the Sunday Mass we'll need to hold after the margarita-fueled debauchery occuring Monday through Saturday. ;) :p ) One magazine or newspaper subscription: Us Weekly. One person: My boyfriend! One celebrity It's a toss-up between Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears. Both desperately need a break to re-group & recover. Or maybe not-I can't think of anybody more fun to share margaritas with (because we won't need sober living while on the island- we'll enter Promises after rescue!) Plus, I won't need all of my celebrity mags when I've got the real deal entertaining me for free on the Island. Ooh! I'll also work off all of my mac n' cheese weight constantly fighting my boyfriend to not drown either one of them. Those two top his list of "most slutty & despised celebrities". :( Maybe I'll just pick Kristen Cavallari. She looks like lots of fun. :) One "free item": A bikini! Wait! That's no fun. I'll need a laptop. That'll keep me endlessly entertained and informed. |

Going out with a cry of "it burns! Oh my god does it burn!" sounds humiliating. |

Well then, on your list you can leave off the condom. Plus that bitch probably lied about being on the pill and I don't need no kids whining about their absentee father.
|
cool. so long as we understand that I insist on being killed almost immediately afterward.
deal? |
Deal. If you'd like we can even arrange for Elle to deliver the deathblow immediately following climax (hopefully yours, not hers).

One meal Inn of the Seventh Ray brunch buffet One dessert Sprinkles Cupcakes (By the way, I think that Sprinkles should start sending LoT a box of cupcakes every time we mention them. We're just as good as The Soup.) One snack food This has been one of the hardest ones for me to answer. I don't generally have one consistent snack food. Sometimes I'll eat pretzels if Tom has them (I don't actually like them.) I enjoy chips and guac but not enough to deem them my desert island food. Perhaps cheese. Yeah, cheese and crackers. Can I say cheese and crackers and fruit? One kind of drink If I brought Arnold Palmers, would I be able to separate them out and sometimes have tea and sometimes have lemonade? Because if it were just Arnold Palmers, then I'd have to say screw Arnold Palmers, I want Pom white iced tea with peach to be my only beverage. One CD A very long mixed one. One album wouldn't work for me. But the mixed one would include a little Gorillaz, a little Three Blind Mice, a little IZ, a little Ditty Bops, a little Harmour Love and "A Little Priest." One DVD Is this one disk, or one DVD box? Because if it's one DVD box, I'm bringing the sixth season of The Simpsons, and if it's one DVD, I'm bringing Harold and Maude. One book The Artist's Way. Yeah, I'm a lit fan and I'm bringing a self-help book. So what? One magazine or newspaper subscription Real Simple. It really calms me down. One person Tom. Wait, is Tom a celebrity? He has a hefty imdb entry. If Tom's a celebrity, I'm bringing Audra as my "person." One celebrity If Tom doesn't count (then, sorry Audra!) Tom will be my one person and JK Rowling would be my celebrity. And she'd tell us stories. One "free item" If Tom doesn't count as my celebrity, then Audra will be my "free item" because I couldn't hang out with JKR without her. Wait. Tom and Audra and JKR? Who cares about free items or the questionable celebrity status of my husband, we'll just go with those three. |
One meal - Monte Cristo
One dessert - Cookies One snack food - Cookies ;) One kind of drink - Pepsi One CD - The 50th CD One DVD - Goodfellas One book - The 4th Harry Potter...or maybe 7th One magazine or newspaper subscription - Maxim One person - They know who they are One celebrity - Shia Lebouf, next greatest actor One "free item" - My Blackberry, can't live without it! |

Jeff's Five Alarm Chili
pot brownies with vanilla ice cream peaches Fat Tire beer my own mix cd with lots of rock and/or roll I dunno, Teagan's Juice I guess. I can't really pick just one book but I'm stealing from GC and going with The Stand - Stephen King - Unabridged. It's a nice long book with plenty of ideas for starting a civilization from scratch. All I could come up with on my own was something involving my seed and the wind. Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine Jeff - to make the chili, beyotch Howard Cosell will follow me around and describe my every move in a condescending yet somehow enthralling manner. toilet paper and hand lotion |

One meal - Chefs choice from Tru
One dessert - Banana's Foster One snack food - Chocolate Covered Pistachio Nuts One kind of drink - Sidecars One CD - Until the End of the World Soundtrack One DVD - The Unbearable Lightness of Being One book - hmmmm either the Wind-up Bird Chronicle, or the Portable Nietzsche - and I'm probably leaning towards the later One magazine or newspaper subscription - Vogue, the French edition so I could learn a language while looking at the pretty pictures. One person - Lisa One celebrity - Amanda Palmer from the Dresden Dolls One "free item" - A very big notebook with lots of paper and attached writting implements |
One meal - Whatever the chef is preparing that night at Tru One dessert - Chocolate Bread Pudding from Lashers One snack food - Haystacks from Rocky Mountain One kind of drink (let's pretend plenty of fresh water is already provided) Voss Sparkling One CD - David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust One DVD - Fanny and Alexander One book - One Hundred Years of Solitude Garcia-Marquez (Liz and I can end up on the same island and share!) One magazine or newspaper subscription - Cottage Living One person - Chris One celebrity - Leonard Cohen One "free item" - my cell phone - duh. |
We did NOT talk about the meal as we were posting.

One meal - Spaghetti
One dessert - Spaghetti One snack food - Spaghetti One kind of drink - Milk One CD - the Spaghetti Incident One person - the Spaghetti Man (if there be such a person) One "free item" - Gun. One bullet. |

One meal - vietnamese roast pork over rice noodles
One dessert - a perfectly ripe white nectarine One snack food - tortilla chips and salsa One kind of drink - tea One CD - Beethoven's 3 & 4 piano concertos, Murray Perahia and Bernard Haitink Concertgebouw Orchestra One DVD - Maltese Falcon (one perfect film would make me happy) One book - Auntie Mame by Patrick Dennis One magazine - Vanity Fair One person - my best buddy Xian One celebrity - Vincent Price (if he were alive) the conversation would be very interesting and he was a gourmet cook to boot One "free item" - mosquito netting Now I can read the rest of the answers |
One meal - This one is really hard to say... I'm on a desert island and in my mind, that's mighty warm a good portion of the time. I'll go with fresh tacos with all the fixings. Not because it's my favorite meal (I don't know if I have one anymore, and the one I would consider is too heavy for a deserted island), but because I could make a taco salad out of it. :)
One dessert - Dark chocolate One snack food - Chips and 7 layer dip. Can double as a meal and has lots of protein. One kind of drink (let's pretend plenty of fresh water is already provided) - Mojitos. (again, considerations of weather) One CD - I'm f*cked here. I'm going to go with Beatles' Sgt. Pepper, because it's one of the few I like from start to finish, and never get the urge to skip a song. One DVD - I'd let my "person" pick. It would be more important to him. In the event he couldn't - how about Forrest Gump? I really don't care, I like a lot of movies, and I'd think I wouldn't want anything too suspenseful in movie form. Need feel-good for re-watchability. I'm sure I'll think of something better and amend this later. One book - Difficult time deciding, so likely an anthology of short stories would do me well. I could spread it out, without that burning desire to finish a really good story. One magazine or newspaper subscription - EW One person - J (though I'm not sure how happy he'd be that I made him stuck on a desert island) One celebrity - Bear Grylls, mostly because he's really cute, and I'm sure J wouldn't entirely mind. Plus - he could build a raft out of anything and keep us entertained by doing his Man vs. Wild thing. One "free item" - sunglasses... so I could wear them at night. |

Oh the humming of the bees and the cigarette trees and the soda water fountains
Where the lemonade springs and the blue bird sings, on the big LoT deserted island. |
I need more mojo for NA.
I like your version best! |
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies |

Which brings me back to my CD choice. Great album. |

You guys have such fab ideas that I think I may need to revise my list!!
I still stand by Pinkberry as my dessert choice, but I think I might need to add me some Bob's Big Boy Combo! For celebrity, I really want to bring Nicole Richie, whom I absolutely love! Not just because she's a fabulous fashionista, but moreso for taking responsibility for her actions and turning her life around in a positive direction. Holding your own self, or rather person, accountable is the most important step in self-recovery. Her honesty & candor is refreshing. :) However, she's with child and I cant take her away from Joel Madden! So, I'm thinking Sarah Jessica Parker might be a fun choice. Or, I'll just keep Britney or Lindsay on Margarita Isle De AllyOops! :) :snap: |
yeah, same here as far as rethinking. mine was geared towards "surviving being stranded on an island for an unforseeable length of time", but if its a pleasure stay, the list changes completely. that is, so long as theres a predictable end to it, then I can do without a few things on my list, but couldnt do without others.
I'll get back to ya |
