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
Top 3 music CDs:
1. Best of Ella Fitzgerald
2. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos
3. Rolling Stones Exile on Main Street (should scare away the headhunters)
Top 3 Movie DVDs:
1. The Quiet Man (Maureen O'Hara at her finest)
2. The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Lena and Juliette)
3. To Have and Have Not
Top 3 Vices (unlimited quantities of course):
1. Pilsner Urquell (best hot weather beer)
2. Copenhagen Snuff
3. FreeRepublic access
Desert Island Companion (no spouses allowed):
Neve Campbell
Random Item:
Fishing Pole and tackle
When Desi was young, he was a fine fox.
I love my husband but oh that Desi!
Hey, I have Neve Campbell. So I'm not even jealous!
LOL. I thought you'd like that! ;o)
Does that include his I Love Lucy days?
Grrrrr (bad grrrr not a good grrrr)
I think I recall that you are actually a Gen Xer, youngen!
Desi was still easy on the eyes in the Lucy days, but you could see the beginnings of alcohol-induced neck bloat.
He'd probably fight me too hard for the Irish Mist...
LOL!!!
Top 3 music CDs:
1. Steely Dan-Pretzel Logic
2. Stevie Ray Vaughn-Couldn't Stand The Weather
3. Rachmaninoff-2nd Piano Concerto
Top 3 Movie DVDs:
1. The Unforgiven
2. The Searchers
3. Shawshank Redemption
Good choices, except for a movie with Tim Robbins in it!!!
Dr P.....your such a nut.....I am packing for my plane trip so I don't have time to figure out what your up to.
We had only our bathing suits, sun tan oil, Kerry-brand flip flops, a cabana decorated with FR bumper stickers and American flags, and lots of cheese and crackers and other goodies for us starving castaways.
We had our man Friday on a little mobile beach cart, regularly bringing us icy cold mai tais and coconut/pineapple/rum time bombs.
Behind the beach was a splendid outdoor buffet worth two chests of buried gold.
Best of all, we had each other......the freeper creme de la creme, talking and yukking it up (a few were snoring on the lounges, challenging the hot sun).
Oh, to be stranded on that remote island again soon........but with freepers, of course.
Leni
PA, if I end up on that island with you and that stuff, do me a favour and kill me.
Yes. You keep packing. Avoid desert islands at all costs! LOL
You better hit the hay early tonight too! :o)
You'll need to craft a small raft and float your clash CD and some vodka to my neighboring island.
Good thinking on the random item. LOL
I don't remember that invite! ;o)
I might have to, if the food runs low. LOL
Be safe!! And be sure to let me know when you get to Germany!
