You have just survived a plane crash in the middle of the Indian Ocean and you are washed onto a desert island. As you walk onto the island, you see three people in the distance. They are 3 survey central users. Who would you wish them to be?

I like just about all of them, except that juliw. She's kind of weird.

Alright, who's got the best survival skills here?

The best cook, the best craftsperson and the best shag (whoever that would be and assuming they are three different people ).

romkey, Pomeranian, and Zang.

It is literally impossible for me to pick just three.
There's too many people that I would have to leave out.

Well since I like in depth discussions about deep things and politics, two would have to be Kristal Rose and Biggles. I don't know who the third would be. I'll get back to you.

Well, my love Rjinswand and my cousin Fairytrip would have to be two of the three Other than that... Mandy, because she has a great sense of humor and tells it like it is.

Naming names would get me in trouble with those not named.

So, suffice it to say three great conversationalists of my preferred gender with strong survival skills and insatiable sex drives...

Although I'd settle for just one who can spear fish, build a cooking fire and suck a pearl right outta an oyster without crackin' the shell.

Just so you all know, I'm free if you're looking for your third person.
*ahem*

Rumor has it you are pretty "free" in any case.
I think I just found my island buddy.

Whoo hoo!
*dances and sings*
I'm wanted on an IIIIII-land!
I'm wanted on an IIIIII-land!
Nah nah nee boo boo
Stick your head in doo doo!
Okay, I, um, either need to get some sleep
OR
Go get my afternoon fill of vodka

(paralyzed with shock)
Ahh...you know...it might be a good idea if we practiced a little first...

Tell ya what...I'll go to Hawaii for the weekend and you can go to Crab and Lice Island.

Let me know how it works out...if you think you still wanna get marooned with me, I'll pay for your lobotomy.

You said that well...

If I could I would pick myself for I know a good deal of survival skills.

The people whom seem to me to have the most wits about them, and seem I wouldn't mind being around them, are Hare Krishna, msgman, and sequel.

But since I know nothing about them except through this website, it's very limited.

You have survival skills? Well, you're on my island then!

"I was once shipwrecked on a desert Island with a man who could make a nuclear reactor out of toothpicks, but couldn't figure out how to patch a couple of holes in a boat"-Gilligan.

I can only choose three? I want everyone! I suppose I would choose whichever ones have the most meat on them - at least I wouldn't starve to death then......

lol We'd end up fighting and K-R would have to send us to sit in opposite ends of the island and think about what we had done......

Like that would do any good.

Brian
SueBee
Mandy

Can I have more than 3? I'd want dabprovin and jkeihart there too along with a few others.

Ian, to remind him to pick up milk.

Oh, this is one where I have to target particular users that I don't know. Okay, I guess Brian (because I have several rainchecks to give him a good slap), Jill (to see how her hair turned out!) and Justina, because she seems to have good survival skills!

Thanks a lot! Hey, where have you been? Haven't seen you around here for a while. So, are you saying you think I'm weird, too?

*raises an eyebrow*

lol Now I'm afraid, very afraid!

Oh BTW - would we end up shipwrecked on a nice island? It's just I'd really rather not be a shipwreck companion on a cold, wet island where it snowed all the time and I had to sleep in a flimsy tent next to a cemetery in someone's garden......

Damn, I'm tired, I'm confusing fiction and reality again! The tent business is real!

Kristal Rose-she has the intelligence to get me out of this fix. Biggles-we'll kill time talking about Harry Potter. And last (but not least)-justina, because she has survived living in NYC during and after Sept. 11th and would improve our moral greatly.

Don't feel left out sweety-I picked ya!

Wicksy
Wicksy
and Wicksy

Enheduanna, romkey, and, ... do any of you know how to repair a broken plane?

omg, how could I forget, sweet, sweet Wicksy...

*incredulous* How could you?

YES!!! You'll recognize me, I'll be the one with all the vodka!

Someone who knows how to find food and build a shelter.
A doctor.
Someone who tells good jokes.

I would hope one of them would be dab, because he probably put the pontoons on his plane and flew there. We could hang out, have a good time, and then leave when we felt like it.

We went to Uruguay for five days on a short, but much needed vacation. Since I got back I have been swamped at work.

I don't think you are weird, I know it! That why I adore you.
(pounce and smooch)

What?
I can't do that.
I am still trying to stick my toe up all by itself.

Hey...(staring)...it that a real pearl necklace?

Hmmm...do I go for people with whom I'd like to spend a lot of time, people upon whom I'd wish being stuck on a desert island, people with good survival skills, or people with well-marbled flesh. Decisions, decisions.

I don't approve of "popularity contest" type surveys. I respectfully decline to answer.

You are so sweet.

However, I imagine you picked me just to have someone will cook, wash and clean up after mandy, SueBee and you.

Ahh...will any of my duties involve being a sex slave?
(he asked hopefully)

lol
Well, if you think about, Mandy and SueBee already have a little thing going on between them. That leaves two... lol
Slavery is a good thing sometimes, but remember, the chains go both ways!

Didja hear the one about...

Damn...and just when I was about to pick you...

Oscar, my adorable and irresistabale fellow "maroonee", if left to our own devices I fear the island would soon be filled with the pitter patter of little feet.

Or at least would be my intention...

Uh oh! Did I tell you about my new diet and HOW WELL it is working?

Hmmm...too bad about all them uncollectable rainchecks...about slapping I mean. <===TDMA

don't tease me, you little slut!

I beg your pardon? The correct terminology when referring to men is "sluto", not slut, thank you very much!

Ahhh...Oscar, dear, I just realized that I might have touch some kind of nerve with you that I am unaware of. Please clarify. Or just slap my face, if you feel so inclined...

(looking confused)

Really? You were going to pick me? I retract everything. I love popularity contests! Oh goodie goodie gumdrops! Somebody picked me! Somebody picked me! Yippie!

Well, there are some qualifiers like...how well do you cook?

Very well. Also, I was a Boy Scout, and I recently re-read "How To Stay Alive In The Woods" by Bradford Angier.

I also have prior "Island in the Indian Ocean" experience. I've been to Phuket, Penang, Java and Bali.

SOLD! Now all we need is a couple of persons of our preferred gender...and stop lookin' at my butt!

Is that what you are? A sluto? My apologies. I'll make sure I get my terminology right next time.

Actually only on weekends, when I dress in a sheep costume and cruise the bars down by the docks...

sounds exciting

Not lately, with the anthrax scare and all...

This is a really GREAT survey, but unfortunately I haven't been here long enough to get to know many people, so I don't know who I'd pick.

Yeah, I know...we could get really down and dirty with that <--tdma

Hope you had a nice vacation. As you know, I have been off work for a while on sick leave. But today, I went to lunch with a couple of my work friends, and stopped by the office to say hi to everybody. It was so nice to see everybody. But, I know once I actually go back to work, I'll be swamped, and it will be like I never left.

Well the British have a military base on an island in the Indian Ocean, and there are some Australian territories in the Indian Ocean, although Cocos Is. and Christmas Is. are inhabited. The only uninhabited islands I know of are the Australian territories of HEard and MacDonald Islands which are both very cold down towards Antarctica. Oh yeah, Heard Island is volcanic and recently had an earthquake that was recorded in Perth WA that was estimated to be 8 on the Richter scale!!!

Can you bring me a Coke or Pepsi?

Oh, uh, sure, yeah, that's cool. Um, we all have to pitch in to help everyone out, right?
*walks away mumbling*
"Fetch this," "Fetch that," I KNEW there was an ulterior motive!

lol Damn, I was relying on you too!

I don't really fancy doing the shipwreck thing with earthquakes!! Although it would make life a bit more exciting! lol

Thanks. We did.

If I were indiscreet, I would suggest that my diminished physic should not stand in the way of an occasional "nibble" here and there.

But far be it from me...

Why whatever do you mean?

I'm glad.

> > >

Oh, that! (blushing profusely)

Isn't it more like flushing?

I'll pass on that - unless you're made of chocolate.......?

LOL

Ahh...(blushing)...how shall I say this...ahh...parts of me...ahhh...have been covered in chocolate...ahh...more than once...(avoiding her gaze)

More information than necessary!!!

Are they still covered with chocolate or did the chocolate, um, "remove" itself?

dog dog dog! (now stop yer grumbling and get my GD soda!)

LOL

You can answer that question for yourself, if you peek in my pants.

Oh wait, you call trousers pants! When I think of pants, I think of underpants!

Whatever...>

Careful...

If I say that to my mum she clouts me one!

?

Biggles 286 - out of curiosity
Krystal_Rose - for the experience
David W - to apologise for voting most of his surveys bad and tell him he actually seems like a really nice guys despite that.

Hmm... How about...
Kristal-Rose, whom I most acutely appreciate.
Jemmy, whom I don't mind. Not in the least.
And... hmm... well... God... if I had to settle... Romkey. He seems like he has some stories to tell.

Why curious?
And who is David?

I think he meant Brian W

Ah, of course!

Ach. I'm not in the mood for dishing out compliments today.

As far as David W is concerned I am confused. I may have been in a parallel universe. I could have sworn he existed. Hang on let me investigate.

Survey Central in a parallel universe......? Hmm, would that be the SC where sex and monkeeees are never mentioned? What sort of a messed up universe is that!?

Considering its 3.05pm Friday afternoon since I last checked the replies and it wasn't here 10 minutes ago.........

Shouldn't you be busy doing Chemistry or whatever you're trying to get your head around.

No, I'm off school ill today But I have been puzzling over chemistry at home - I worked through some pH problems
