Trapped On A Desert Island..

AllyOops! · 08-02-2007, 12:23 PM

..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!

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

After the jump, eh? Next you'll be telling me you're a 3 digit UID.

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?
