If you were washed up on a desert island...

OK, we had a total hoot (and got loads of funny looks!) doing this in a restaurant a couple of nights ago. So here's how it works. The question is:

"IF YOU WERE WASHED UP ON A DESERT ISLAND..."

Round one:
"...which four people (dead or alive, but must be real not fictional) would you want washed up with you, and why?"

I suppose I'd better kick off, as this was my stupid idea!

OK.

1. Billy Connolly - Because he's quite simply one of the funniest men on the planet, and if we're all gonna die, we might as well die laughing!

2. Stephen Fry - Because he's one of the most intelligent, clever, complex, funny, kind, generous people I've ever had the pleasure to meet, and I'd love to talk with him and listen to him some more.

3. Laura Ingalls Wilder - Because I reckon anyone who lived through so much change in one lifetime as she must have done (born 1867, died 1957) has just got to be worth spending time with.

4. The woman at the well - Because she's one of the most intriguing characters in the bible, and I'd love to know what she thinks about what "the church" has made her, and to find out the truth! (I could expand on that, but we'd be here all night!)

So that's my four. Over to you...

1. William Shakespeare, because the guy is a literary genius and could provide entertainment.

2. Vera Wang, because I'd be interested to see her make a wedding dress out of a palm tree.

3. Albert Einstein, because I'd want one of the cleverest guys in the world around in a situation like that. Plus, I'd like to complain at him about how awful maths and physics are.

4. Margaret Thatcher, because I'd like to debate several hot topics with her.

1. Steven Colbert, because he's funny and that would be fun.

2. Eddie Cahill, for breeding purposes. Even if we don't end up inhabiting the island forever...

3. Rachel Ray, so she can do the cooking and stuff.

4. A.J. Buckley, because he's cute and funny, and he could take over when Steven or Eddie get tired.

1. Donald Trump- I would do offer to shave his head or anything else he wanted for a million dollars. Also to make fun of Rosie O'Donald with him.

2.The writters of CSI- I'd give them the million as pay off for getting Warrick (Gary) back on the show and to hook up with Catherine (Marg). Also I want to help write things for the next eppisodes.

3. The person who created a computer- That way he/she could make a computer so I could stay connected to the rest of the world. Also so the new scripts get out.

4. Gary Dourdan (or however you spell it)- because he is amazingly hot.

Yes, I am obsessed.

1. Can't avoid this one: My boyfriend. I like him too much to be stuck without him for an indeterminate amount of time.

2. Wentworth Miller because he is amazingly gorgeous (and if he is anything like his character on Prison Break, he could probably get us off the dang island)

3. James Roday because he is hilarious in real life, too (Psych is a friggin' amazing show, btw).

4. David Boreanaz because... you know... daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang.

Clearly I'm being driven by my hormones... and by my love of comedy. I'm nineteen... can you blame me?

1. My mom, because I would die of starvation without her.

2. Robert Pattinson, because he's just so dang hot. I can't get over that shmexy british accent.

3. The Yelllow Power Ranger, because she's my idol.

4. Chuck Norris, because there's only two things that can cut diamonds... Other diamonds and CHUCK NORRIS!

Yup. That would be heaven.

1. Hugh Laurie, the man is hilarious and if you're going to be stuck on an island you might as well laugh about it. He's also pretty damn sexy.

2. My best friend. I'll need someone to gossip with...

3. Chris Meloni. *big sigh* The man is amazingly fine.

4. John Douglas. He was the Profiler who really got the BAU started. I'd love to pick his brain.

Delaney: The yellow one is my favourite, too!

Audrey: I agree on Chris Meloni... Yum.

Now:

1) Meatloaf (preferably from the 80's). If anyone could scream loud enough to get us found, it would be he, the Holy One.

2) Groucho Marx, mostly because at the very least we'd be laughing about the fact that we were probably going to die.

3) Val McDermid, so I wouldn't miss the next Wire in the Blood installment.

4) Goran Visnjic. *Drools* That body and that face and that accent? *Swoons* That and he could teach me how to say his name.

OK, let's try another one:

IF YOU WERE WASHED UP ON A DESERT ISLAND...

...which three items would you simply HAVE to salvage from the wreckage? (and remember - there probably won't be any electricity on the island, unless you salvage a generator, some solar panels and an electricity sub-station!)

Erm... I'll have to think about that one!

Amanda_Ruth · Mon Jan 05, 2009 11:37 pm by Amanda_Ruth

1. My poster of the Joker from The Dark Knight, because no man could look as sexy in full face makeup like Heath Ledger.

2. A water distiller or whatever so I don't die of dehydration (don't you love how I put my love of men before my love of life? o.O).

3. My Harry Potter series box set. Yes, all seven books conveniently placed in a massive box that I made myself. And I realllly hope that counts as one object. Otherwise I'll come back and make a new one. =)

Giorgia · Tue Jan 06, 2009 12:21 am by Giorgia

1) My piano (can we just pretend for a minute that it's not totally illogical to have a piano around in the first place?) Maybe it'd force me to practice without all the distractions.

2) My notebook, because it goes everywhere I do, and

3) My new (annotated!) copy of Dracula. Just to have something to read that I've not read before.

Which yellow ranger? The original ranger? Treenie?

Because she was my favorite. I cried when she Jason and Zack left. Jason was my other favorite. Even at a tender age I could understand that that man was sexy.

My 4 people:

1. My dog Elphie. As much as I'd want her to be safe at home I really think she's the one person in the world I can't live without.
The rest are just fluff.
2. Taye Diggs. By far the best looking man on the planet.
3. Gregory Maguire. So he can tell me stories.
4. Eddie Cahill. You know... in case Taye is missing his wife.

My 3 items:

1. It's a phone I can update the FCG on. Who wouldn't rescue that?
2. Uh... My season 5 Dvd's. Gotta have yobling--even if you're stranded.
3. My copy of Time Traveler's Wife. If there was only one book I could read for the rest of my life I think I'd want that to be it.

marymagdalen · Tue Jan 06, 2009 11:00 am by marymagdalen

OK, I've thought about it!

1. My complete set of Winston Churchill's "The English Speaking Peoples" (seven large volumes!). I love history, and this is about as comprehensive as it gets, although it only goes up to mid-last century. And I keep promising myself that I WILL read it all one day!

2. My pair of deerskin mocassins that I bought on a trip to northern Canada about 20 years ago. Not very PC these days, I know, but they are just about the most hard-wearing and comfortable things for my little footsies!

3. My wok. You can cook just about anything in a wok. And it's useful as a sunhat. And if things get really desperate, I can make a paddle and row myself home in it!

My four people-

1. David Boreanez, because well, to repopulate the island.
2. My best friend Em, because I'd go insane without her.
3. Noah Wyle, because Emily needs a man too lol.
4. Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland, because her music is like therapy for my soul.

My 3 items-

1. A sharp knife.
2. Notebook and pen.
3. My bible (not so much to read nowadays, but it's got tons of stuff in it like pictures and notes that I'd want).

kazalene · Wed Jan 14, 2009 9:18 pm by kazalene

1. An ipod that could be charged by solar energy. Jodie, go invent that, as well as that transporter you promised me.

2. Two in one shampoo and conditioner.

3. And seeing how my boyfriend doesn't count as an item... suncream.
