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
Of course. I don't really have a formal PING list, though I'll try to ping ya when I post. Unfortunately, I won't be posting much for the next few of weeks.
Are you off to a secret mission?????
Yes. It's called field work, when you are an engineer! ;o)
Not very secret though!
you forgot:
Windmill and/or solar panals to generate electricity
Air conditioner that runs off of windmill
DEET: Cutters will do...desert islands have nasty mosquitoes
Satellite cellphone with internet access
A decent mattress...sand flies are nasty beasties...
Birth control pills for your love. If not, in nine months, you'll be three...
Yes, those would all be quite useful. Maybe someone like the Professor from Gilligan's Island will end up being stranded with you!
That brings back fond memories...wet nerf ball throwing with Interesting Times, Sex on the Beach (a great drink, you only need one), and the most sintillating company known to man, or woman...FReepers. What a time.
Boy, would a cruise come in handy now....Just got home from dad's and the last segment of the "Family Feud Reality Show"....If it weren't so sad it would be humerous......... Think beaches, think white sand, think sea gulls, think soft breezes. BD, you don't happen to have that picture of me in a hammock, do you?....I could use both hands full right now.
Ahhhh, good memories.
