I knew someone would ask about the dictionary, but I figured it would be iggy. You're stranded on a deserted island for an infinite amount of time... what better opportunity to learn new words.

I figured you could choose Oprah's latest book-of-the-month book, but after one reading you're done with it. Does anyone really get "done" with the dictionary? No.

[insearchofjustin]

See iggy, you can't watch the food network on a deserted island. No cable hook-up. Sorry. And how many ingredients are in seafood risotto? Probably more than three.

Details details... I should have slapped up a disclaimer.

[sunshinegirl]

And people say I'm weird...:rolleyes:

[sunshinegirl]

Iggy doesn't understand the rules.

He also doesn't know what "three" means...hence his songs...

[insearchofjustin]

Hey, at least he's trying to answer the questions... and not picking on the person trying to make conversation. :rolleyes:

[sunshinegirl]

Picking on? I'm not picking on anyone...

Besides, leave me alone. I may well be unstable...just ask Nikki's dreambook!

Food: pasta, lettuce, caesar dressing (my damn island better have bananas, seafood, oranges, etc...or I'm demanding a change of address)

Drink: diet coke, cherry coke, apple juice

Songs: eh...of all time? I don't know if there are three songs that I would never get sick of...

Clothing items: swimsuit, light cotton dress, footie pj's

People to contact: mom, dad, Sina (best friend)

Passtimes: scattergories (I'll teach the monkeys), paper, pens

[iggy]

I was so excited to put slicker that I forgot to go back for the other songs. Fixed.

[vester]

Food: cantaloupe, french stick bread, chocolate pudding

Drink: Water, Coke, Grape Juice

Songs: Woman In Chains - Tears for Fears, Wheat Kings - The Tragically Hip, I Wish - Stevie Wonder

Clothing items: Swimsuit, cotton pj’s, sweatshirt

People to contact: Daughter, Husband, Donna (friend)

Passtimes (games, hobbies, etc…): Deck of cards, Trivial Pursuit, Set of Encyclopedias (can I count that as one?)

[NikDC]

iggy and rules--and ne'er the twain shall meet. :D

Food: peanut butter, boxes of cereal, peaches

Drink: diet coke, water, skim milk (for my cereal)

Songs: American Pie, Scenes From an Italian Restaurant, Digital Getdown.

Clothing items: sarong, athletic bra, pajamas

People to contact: Father, the Navy Seals' headquarters phone answerer (to get me off of my island eventually and keep my flirting skills intact), and JC (a girl can still dream).

Passtimes: gigantic crossstitch pattern, Pen and plenty of paper to write my novel, and Complete Works of Shakespeare bond volume. :D

[sunshinegirl]

The sarong/athletic bra ensamble should be classy

[NikDC]

didn't say I was wearing them together :p

But if I have to do any running, I have to be prepared. :D

Come to think of it, my island had better have a hairbrush and some conditioner or I'm gonna be in serious trouble. :eek: Prehensile indeed.

[insearchofjustin]

No underwear for Nikki... not even a swimsuit. :eek:

[sunshinegirl]

Just a bra...

She'll run from the dinos in a bra with her prehensile hair flying...

[vester]

I suppose she's going "commando" for all those Navy Seals. ;)

[insearchofjustin]

Who said there were dinos on this island? Damn woman... you have a one track mind!

[sunshinegirl]

I said there were dinos...

Dinos and oranges and seafood...

And preferably a nice comfy bed, some bug spray, a tent, and an arena for NSYNC to perform...

I don't ask for much.

[iggy]

I'm shocked you didn't ask for a Slurpee machine.

[insearchofjustin]

Maybe you keep dreaming about dinos because you subconsciously think JC looks like a T-Rex.

[vester]

Can I go to SG's island? My island is boring.

[sunshinegirl]

Duh iggy, the tent comes equipped with slurpee machine and your couch (as well as Nikki's) and a cd player, vcr, dvd and big screen tv with surround sound. With orange accents...

I come prepared.

And yes vester, you can come to my island! Don't mind the dinos...

And ISOJ, personally I think that JC has resembled a stegasaurus lately...with his stupid new hair.

Is anyone suprised I've never been camping?

[vester]

I don't mind dinos. I hate clowns! You don't have clowns do you?

I'd like a Coke Slurpee please.

[sunshinegirl]

*shudder* No, no clowns. And no Garbage Pail Kids...

Coke slurpee, coming right up! Go ahead and relax...just don't sit on any of my couches...

[insearchofjustin]

So sorry, there's not electrical outlet to plug the slurpie machine into. http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/s/net/icon26.gif

[sunshinegirl]

It's a battery-operated slurpee machine...

Along with the battery-operated tv, stereo system, lights, etc...

[vester]

Gee, Sunny, I love what you've done with this island. Is that a Monet hanging off of the palm tree? What do you call that technique you've done in the sand for the living room floor?

You haven't been camping? You NEVER want to go camping. Ever! I'd rather get a kick in the head than to ever camp again.

I guess we're off topic again ...

[insearchofjustin]

Go ahead... I was kind of wondering why we were still talking about the same thing.

[sunshinegirl]

It's nice, isn't it?

No, and I will never go camping...ever. I love the outdoors and all...but my desire to spend time there ends when I get sleepy. I have no desire to sleep in a piece of canvas with bugs and bears and wolves and god knows what else all around... Plus, who wants to sleep on the cold hard ground? The weather is unpredictable...and I like to cook food on a stove, not a fire.

My idea of camping is going to my best friend's family's lake home...gorgeous house on a lake where we have bonfires and do s'mores and than go inside to indoor plumbing, comfortable beds and air conditioning. I'm just not a "roughing it" kind of girl...call me high maintenance...

[insearchofjustin]

Do the dream trolls follow you to the lake cabin too?

[vester]

You're preaching to the choir!

Roughing it should consist of no room service. I wouldn't call it high maintenance, I'd call it realistic. I just am a happier, more fun, all-round better person to be around when I have all my basic needs met.

Now pass me one of those Cosmos, I need to take a quiz on how to make him "Hunger For Me".

[sunshinegirl]

ISOJ, I told you that I just started having these nightmares about a month ago...

Who goes to a cabin in the winter? :rolleyes:

I've decided I'm not a Minnesotan, btw. I don't camp, I don't ice skate, I don't ski...what am I good for?

[Short Chris]

Food: Hamburger, rice, chocolate

Drink: Milk, water, wine

Songs: Mozart horn concertos

Clothing items: shorts, dress shirt & tuxedo. I want to look good when the rescue ship arrives

People to contact: Wife, kids (count as 1), Bill Cosby

Passtimes: Building sandcastles & surfing

[sunshinegirl]

Exactly vester! This is what I try to tell people!

I went out with this guy this weekend that did not understand this idea at all...of course he's from a very small town in Wisconsin, so what does that cheesehead know anyway ;)

Oh wait, I only have the Cosmo with the "Socks that make him horny" article...

[vester]

It's not as if I need someone to carry my bags around for me.
*snaps fingers*
No, no, Serge darling, I said to move the palm tree fan over to the LEFT! You're blocking my sun sweetie.

What did the cheesehead want you to do - camp? :snorts:

Do you have any Martha Stewart magazines? I need to know how to make potpourri from starfish guts.

[sunshinegirl]

Martha Stewart? Yes, I think so...

Hmm...Mademoiselle, Marie Claire...ah, here we go...

Starfish and wild berry potpourri. I'll have to servants make this up right away...

No, he didn't necessarily want me to camp...he just couldn't believe that I didn't a.)camp b.)like to camp c.) have any desire in the near future to camp.

[vester]

Why, did his family own a camp? Who was he Grizzly Adams? What's the big deal about camping?

Well at least you were upfront with him right from the start so you won't end up freezing cold in some canvas hellhole listening to coyotes howl and thinking how did I get myself into this?

Ramon, honey, didn't I ask for a dry martini? Now this isn't dry is it sweetie-darling?

Must I do everything myself? :rolleyes:

[sunshinegirl]

I don't know...probably because camping is such a big deal to some people around here...especially guys who live in rural Wisconsin. I went to school with a whole lot of them and it doesn't seem strange to me anymore...
Vacation for them is hunting and fishing and camping up north with the boys...

Vacation for me is a little different.

Anyway, my pillows need to be fluffed now...where IS that cabana boy?

[iggy]

Camping is good as long as I can shower in an indoor facility at least once every 36 hours. Hey, I was a cub scout...but was asked to leave when I tried to start a mutiny in my den to overthrow the den mother. Always the champion of the oppressed.

[sunshinegirl]

We'll just start calling you Vladimir...

I can see you, dressed in miniature Hugo Boss suits, passing out copies of "The Communist Manifesto"...

But I really don't see you camping...

[iggy]

I also refused to wear my uniform for over a month because I found it too para-military. That caused many a raised eyebrow within Pack 1351. What a born leader. I would do or say anything to try to rally an angry mob.

My family would camp every summer when I was growing up. We didn't have to forage for food or anything, but rustic nonetheless. I'd much rather do that than backpack across Europe...that is really unsavory (finals word for Nik).

[sunshinegirl]

I wanted a pink Brownie uniform...when I found out they were all brown, that about ended my desire to be a girl scout. I ended up in girl scouts for six years, nonetheless...mostly because my friends did it. I hated everything about it...

Camping is rustic...backpacking through Europe would just be scary. I guess I'm just not adventurous...

[Short Chris]

There is really no good reason why anyone would ever backpack across Europe, unless they were serving in the Army. Yikes, why in the world would you rough it when you could stay in a hotel?

[iggy]

I'm adventurous when picking an entree off the menu...not when hoping to find a filthy foreign hostel to wash out my unmentionables.
