Just Sit Right Back and You’ll Hear a Tale…

A Tale of a Fateful Trip…
.
QUICK.
If you were to be stranded on a desert island what ten things would you want to have with you? (Assuming a water supply and some kind of food source.)
- ipod with everything imaginable on it including the musical equivalent of the cyanide capsule, My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas, in case I couldn’t take it anymore.
- industrial sized drum of Dr. Bronner’s soap
- I’m thinking I’m not going to get a way with counting a subscription to People Magazine as one thing, so…maybe the Norton Anthology of British Literature, the one with the tissue thin pages – multi-purpose, you know.
- a big ass knife
- George Clooney. What? Why not?
- I guess saying Diet Pepsi would be really short-sighted and silly, but honest to god, it’s what I’m thinking of right now.
- shoes – not Jimmy Choos, but practical, wear around the coral reef shoes.
- fire, and lots of it
- sunscreen, especially now that I’ve got The Cancer
- something warm and weatherproof to wear, preferably in pink, bright pink. You never know when the paparazzi might turn up. Do they make Gortex, fur lined Snuggies?
Um, Jane?
.
This is a deserted island. Clooney would make it decidedly undeserted. Desserted, maybe.
Anyway, my list:
- A laminated picture of my family
- Laminated dirty picture of my wife
- iPod loaded with every Lost and Gilligan’s Island episode
- Bag of weed with the seeds in it
- Pack of Bic lighters
- Voltmeter
- Tattooing equipment
- Set of Ginsu knives
- Wilson brand volleyball
- Tuxedo
P.S. Jane: cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater.

Jane – A snuggie? I’m ashamed.
Dan – What are you going to do with tattooing equipment? Nevermind. Don’t answer that.
K – lemme see.
1. iPod.
2. iPod charger.
3. Generator (for iPod charger to charge iPod).
4. Lighters.
5. Adam Levine. If Jane can bring George Clooney, I can bring Adam Levine. Just as scrumptious. With more tattoos.
6. Sundress. Never know when you might have something fancy to go to.
7. Bug spray.
8. Swiss army knife.
9. Waterproof pack of cards.
10. Hat. Not for sun protection. I just look good in hats.

7 artists supply box
8 matches
9. computer and some sort of electricity would be neat but then that would require broadband, might as well ask for hughesnet sattelite dish too.

WHY the voltmeter?

Really? Jane smokes me on this one? Oh, well.
TC – any man who really knows about the science of how things work and knows his way around tools owns, and knows how to use, a voltmeter. So when they find my lifeless, rotted corpse on the beach, voltmeter in hand, at least my too-late rescuers would be able to say “Yeah, but this guy was a man’s man. Look. He’s got a voltmeter.”
OK dan, I guess I understand the voltmeter in that light. Sorry to disappoint you though but I know what one is, have used one and actually fixed things with it. And I am NOT a man. I’ve also blown one up …….so I guess that is the female part….

Have you applied for your dude card? Because you totally qualify now!
Dan:
I was wondering why you would want to have seeds in the baggie….then I realized you planned on being on that island for a couple of growing seasons.
Good idea
