| The Island Thought I would propose a game of sorts, at least something to think over. This may have been done but I haven't found it. You are shipwrecked on an island and you have some items with you. From the following items, you can take 3 of each with you on the island. What books, games etc would you take. Its kinda of like "What are your favorite things". 1) 3 Books 2) 3 Food items 3) 3 Movies 4) 3 Famous People - from any time in history 5) 3 CD / Music albums 6) 3 Toy / Sport or Hobby item 7) 3 drink /liquids This may be alittle stupid but I was wondering where people's tastes went. Might be fun.

| Well Freebird Effed up the game. Ofcourse you take three famous people for entertainment/technical/philosophical/religious knowledge. You take some games to pass the time. You take three liquids. One of which is vodka, Coleman's fuel, and Jergens lotion.

| You are on the island alone except for 3 babes or 3 famous people. I have so effed this thread. Thats just the shakes from being excited the forum is back online. Sheesh! I wanted to see what 3 movies people would pic, 3 books, etc. I haven't really completed my list but I think one of the people would be Ben Franklin. Soundes like an interesting sort - busy conversation for hours and days. That list is fine - however we want to go. Just wanted to see what members would list.

| I have to ask a question. How can you be all alone on an island with three females of your choosing, and three famous people ?? What is it I don't understand about the "alone" part ? I think you ought to start this all over, with being on an island with only three books. Not the collections of three authors, 3 books. What books would you choose ? Charles

Hmm, I suppose if there are 3 persons there to converse with then there will need to be ANOTHER 3 hot babes to keep the 3 gentlemen satisfied. {Unless you picked the Pope, the Dalai Lama & St. Thomas Aquinas} Now if you picked Mohammed, Solomon & Henry VIII as your companions you will need 3 boatloads of virgins every month....
