With the onslaught of TV shows such as Survivor, Lost, and the New Gilligan's Island and the slew of recent plane crashes, it is now time for Freepers to consider the things needed for comfort and pleasure if we find ourselves stranded on a desert island.
Since we'll obviously be packed lightly, I'm limiting the categories and quantities, so you'll need to choose wisely! The categories are music, movies, vices/hobby and non-spousal companion. And one item of your choosing!
Here are Dr. Pissants selections...
DESERT ISLAND MUST-HAVES

1. Best of Ella Fitzgerald

Hey! were we in the same class?
Don't need a man...
My imagination and your FR post will keep me satisfied for a long, long time! ;-)
I think you are older than me, so you may have graduated before my time. ;o)
Don't know about that...(and never suggest a woman is older than you...esp. when your about page has you fighting libs 10 years before she was born!)
But my threads won't feed ya! Better be good with that knife! ;o)
Do those fall under companions or vices?
