The official 'If u were stranded on an island & could bring 3 items w/ u' thread....

[finger_cruncher]

Ahhhh yes, the official 'If you were stranded on a small island & could only bring 3 items with you' thread.

The Scenario:

You've been ship-wrecked, plane-wrecked...or whatever. Use your imagination. Luckily, you were close to an island and swam over. The island is relatively small, with sparse vegetation, a few coconut trees, and a fresh-water natural spring. There is no shortage of food (only coconuts and some wild boar), but the selection is limited and probably boring after a while. Shelter is not an issue, as there is plenty of twigs and wood available.

What would you bring with you if you were forced to live out the rest of your days on this barren island? You can choose anything to bring except other humans (i.e. no incredibly hot chicks or any company for that matter) and only 3 things maximum.

Choose wisely........

lube, porno, extra lube

[Cryptic Excretions]

Let's say I was train wrecked because I"m using my imagination. I would bring one left shoe without laces, 3 square yards of carpet, and a lifesize cardboard cutout of Steven Seagal.

[redspecial]

leatherman multitool blade, rubic cube, my cat...
(u said no "humans", not "pets")... :D

[Hammurabi]

A good machete (http://www.coldsteel.com/machetes.html), a zippo (http://www.zippo.com/), and either a water purifier or a spear (depending on if the island had an adequate supply of good water or not).

[scarface84]

1.Guitar
2.Pen
3.Paper

[crazywolf]

I would bring my survival kit, my 3 holer, and an O. Hopefully the soil would be good enough for growing some plants.

[CW14]

A fluffy clock, a cheese dispenser and a yellow balloon

[R. Shackleferd]

...a zippo (http://www.zippo.com/)...
Damn...too bad you'll run out of fuel in two weeks.

I'd take my guitar (acoustic obviously), some toilet paper, and my cell phone so I could leave in about a month (or whenever the local cuisine and nightlife bored me too much).

[6strngs_2hmbkrs]

I only need one item.......

a boat

[CW14]

I only need one item.......

a boat

Well of course you're going to need a cheese dispenser... what would you do without one of those ?? :confused:

[ren]

Does the cheese dispenser come loaded with cheese? It would be crap to arrive on the island, go over to your trusty cheese dispenser and find the damn thing cheese-less..... :eek:

Maybe take some extra cheese instead of your yellow balloon CW? Better safe than sorry....

[6strngs_2hmbkrs]

ok, I lied, I would need 3 items:

helicopter
instructions on how to fly the darn thing
and of course, a fully loaded cheese dispensor, how could I have forgotten that

[ren]

I think my three would be:

An acoustic guitar
A boat
A woman to dispense cheese (and help me avoid tendonitis spending all that time on my own) :D

[CW14]

Meh, who needs the cheese?

I just wanted the thing so I could look at it

I'll take my swiss champ (which comes in handy almost every day):

My acoustic, and a machete would probably be most usefull.

Easy bake oven, my swimmies, 5 gallon jug of milk.

[crazywolf]

Easy bake oven, my swimmies, 5 gallon jug of milk.
This is peobably the worst 3 things to choose that I have ever seen in my life, not gonna lie.
First off, an easy bake oven? That will sure come in handy without a singel electrical outlet on the entire island. A swim suit? Well since there won't be anyone else on the island to see you naked, that would come in handy. And a 5 gallon jug of milk sure would come in handy only if you can make some cookies with the oven.....but you can't.....so that was a great choice.

[finger_cruncher]

Well, I guess I should reply to my own thread now.

1. My acoustic guitar

2. A loaded gun (incase life is unbearable after years & years on the island)

3. either a swiss army knife or a spear


This is an incredibly tough decision, only being allowed to bring 3 items. Some things I considered included:

- flairs (but they're useless because they're only for alerting peoples' attention that you're stranded --and the rules clearly state that you're spending the rest of your life on the island --hence no rescue)

-a crab trap or fishing net (self-explanatory)

-a magnifying glass (to cook the wild boar or provide warmth on cold nights)

-seeds (to cultivate vegetables for food)

-a picture of my girlfriend

-extra guitar strings ;)

I dunno, it's really hard to choose. I think I'll stick with my first three.

[Andrew Sa]

Easy bake oven, my swimmies, 5 gallon jug of milk.
why just 5gallons? why not bring a cow? (or a goat if you are allergic to dairy, like my grand mother). Not only could you get lots milk, but also make cheese, which you would have to despense yourself!

Then, my acoustic obviously(well, could I take one that isnt mine? then Id take a Martin 00, any 00, I love those guitars.) and maybe a satelite phone of sorts...which i would have to figure out how to use..


oooh oooh, what about Homer Simpson? does he count as another person? I figure not, because he's not real right...Id definately take Homer Simpson with me!...**** the phone!

[Andrew Sa]

-a magnifying glass (to cook the wild boar or provide warmth on cold nights)



That magnifying glass would sure start a lot of fires at night!
You'd have to keep that thing burning for quite a while I suppose!

[PRSplaya]

That's why I would take my champ... it's got a magnifying glass on it :D

[finger_cruncher]

why just 5gallons? why not bring a cow? (or a goat if you are allergic to dairy, like my grand mother). Not only could you get lots milk, but also make cheese, which you would have to despense yourself!


Umm, the cow would only give milk if it was pregnant. Milk cows are constantly kept pregnant and given hormones to increase milk production. So that'd only work if the cow were pregnant, and even then, it would only last a short while.

Homer Simpson, eh? Bring all the delusions you want. It'd be in your head. If you are going for cartoon characters, why not Jessica Rabbit? ;)

[PRSplaya]

I'd either bring Peggy Griffin

[crazywolf]

-seeds (to cultivate vegetables for food)
Ha! I'm bringing seeds.

You can choose anything to bring **except** other humans

I suppose you could bring a blow-up doll though.

[Akira]

2. A loaded gun (incase life is unbearable after years & years on the island)

Replace that with a hammer.

[crazywolf]

I suppose you could bring a blow-up doll though.
Are we sure that Jolly is human?

well bring me a supply of those hormones as well...and Jess!

Not a swimsuit, but swimmies, the blow ups you wear around your arms.

[Ksocr39]

my sax, guitar, and....soccer ball..yes
i don't need pocket knives or anything b/c i'll just carve a spear out of a tree by usin the beavers...i have a special connection w/ them
wut if there rn't any beavers...ok screw the sax, i'd take a beaver

[6strngs_2hmbkrs]

sorry, I'm changing my mind again...

I'd need to bring a ball with a bloody handprint on it, and the brand name of the ball must be "wilson"

a solar powered electric guitar w/ amp that had some kind of super unbreakable strings

I'd also need to bring a photo alblum full of pictures of my girlfriend, because I would die after a week of not being able to see her.

[Andrew Sa]

hey...we said no other ppl! you cant just take a hand or someones ear...so KSoc your last suggestion is out!

[Cryptic Excretions]

well bring me a supply of those hormones as well...and Jess!
I was gonna say bring a bull as well. After he gets the job done you can slay him and have a steak with your milk.

[SpeckledJim]

1. Plasterscene (playdo)
2. Magazines (for light reading)
3. A picture of saddam hussein to remind me it could be worse.

[CW14]

No cheese dispensers? OR fluffy clocks for that matter ?? :eek:

You people disgust me.

[crazywolf]

OK, thats a little better. I didn't know if you people from Jersey have a different lingo secret code word for swimsuit.
I still think my 3 were the best!

[Andrew Sa]

No cheese dispensers? OR fluffy clocks for that matter ?? :eek:

Dude, it just so happens that the island on which I landed boasts Fluffy Clocks and Cheese dispensers (and bread maker makers) as native inhabitants...otherwise I would definatley have needed my collection of the above mentioned.

[PonyOne]

-hundreds upon hundreds of gallons of water
-lots and lots of those prepack Indian dinners
-a satellite network cellphone with lots of battery life so i could get off the island

[kingdavid]

...Magazines (for light reading)...
Yeah yeah yeah.
"Light reading" huh?
Be forthright like Jolly, we won't hold it against you. We understand. :p

[SpeckledJim]

:D i have no idea what you are talking about :D

[crazywolf]

:D i have no idea what you are talking about :D
You wouldn't!

[cayotic727]

This is such a no brainer

1. My guitar rig

2. A fully equipped Sam Ash

3. I don't need a three if I have the above two. But since I can.......
A home entertainment system.

[cayotic727]

My second choices if I can't really bring a whole guitar rig or a Sam ash.
First I'd be Stranded from a train or plane.

Steve Vai's signature acoustic ( Don't have it but it sounds amazing!)

Computer with wireless internet

If I truly will never leave, an Ipod with all my favorite songs

Any normal human would lose it in any amount of time betweentwo weeks and several months anyway though.

[Cryptic Excretions]

Any normal human would lose it in any amount of time betweentwo weeks and several months anyway though.
And what about those of us who aren't normal?

[crazyguy]

How's this for normal:

1. A knife to build various musical instruments such as coconut saxophone, banana kazoo or shipwreck custom acoustic guitar.
2. A handfull of weed seeds for easily attainable mental background music to jam along with.
3. A magnifying glass so that, if anyone comes to pick me up, I fool them into thinking I'm insane and dangerous by closely examining my reflection in the water and trying to set their ride on fire.

With all the boars and coconut trees, it should be loads of fun.

[iiholly]

Does everything count as one thing? I mean it really should if it doesn't. Well, if everything does count as one thing I'll make a list just to try to be witty or creative or smart. All three of these I do not have, but I'm down with that.

1. lifetime supply of lucky charms (who doesn't like lucky charms, i mean really.)
2. lots of lighters (never was a boy scout)
3. some marijuana seeds (if you're going to be stuck on an island you might as well get some relief)

[6strngs_2hmbkrs]

1. lifetime supply of lucky charms (who doesn't like lucky charms, i mean really.)
personally, I don't like lucky charms... i like the marshmellows, but the actual cereal is just gross

Most uninhabited islands aren't blessed with electricity.

[crazywolf]

3. some marijuana seeds (if you're going to be stuck on an island you might as well get some relief)
See, the only thing with that is you'll have to wait a while for the plants to grow, seed, and than cure. I'd rather have an O so I can smoke while the plants grow.

[Poontang_clan]

i'd take

1. My House
2.Thousands of solar panels
3 My Guitar Rig

beat that

[Cryptic Excretions]

i'd take

1. My House

1. a weather machine
2. coordinates for poontang's island
3. a brewing thunderstorm cloud that will never go away

Just to be a jerk.

See if I had any, I'd probably get lazy and retarded and die before there was need to grow them.

[crazywolf]

That's true, but I think when the bag was getting a little low, I'd remember to plant some of the seeds......hopefully!
