Fla-eee-dah!
Thought I would propose a game of sorts, at least something to think over. This may have been done but I haven't found it.

You are shipwrecked on an island and you have some items with you. From the following items, you can take 3 of each with you on the island. What books, games etc would you take. Its kinda of like "What are your favorite things".

1) 3 Books

2) 3 Food items

3) 3 Movies

4) 3 Famous People - from any time in history

5) 3 CD / Music albums

6) 3 Toy / Sport or Hobby item

7) 3 drink /liquids

This may be alittle stupid but I was wondering where people's tastes went. Might be fun.

Njaco it might be a little hard to pick ONE book or CD, so let me propose a modification

1) 3 Books -The collected works {all books by} 3 different authors

2) 3 Food items

3) 3 Movies A DVD with: all the TV episodes from 1 season or a movie "series" - eg: Seinfeld season 1, Lord of Rings series, or Star Wars series

4) 3 Famous People - from any time in history

5) 3 CD / Music albums All albums music from 3 different Bands or Musicians on MP3 or whatever {eg. Pick "Ozzy Ozborne" and get his solo work + music with Black Sabbath etc}

6) 3 Toy / Sport How about 3 "sports setup" eg: tennis court, bicycle, hockey rink, bowling alley, hang glider, fishing gear etc.

7) 3 drink /liquids

8.) 1 aircraft

9) 3 different cars/motorcycles/motorboat/skidoo/snowmobile/other motor craft {total of 3 only! NOT 3 of each}

10) 3 arcade/video games
 
Thats what I meant - I wasn't clear. 3 DIFFERENT books, etc. Thanks. And I would add the games, good idea.
 
Well Freebird Effed up the game.

Ofcourse you take three famous people for entertainment/technical/philosophical/religious knowledge.

You take some games to pass the time.

You take three liquids. One of which is vodka, Coleman's fuel, and Jergens lotion.
 
Ok, I see where I f*cked up.

This is how I was trying to post as -

If you could take 3 Books they would be

Papillion
The Return of the King
The Bible

If you could take 3 Movies they would be-
Battle of Britain
The Thing (John Carpenter)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

etc, etc, etc......

Boy, am I an idiot!!!

I dont...
 
I have to ask a question. How can you be all alone on an island with three
females of your choosing, and three famous people ?? What is it I don't
understand about the "alone" part ?

I think you ought to start this all over, with being on an island with only
three books. Not the collections of three authors, 3 books. What books
would you choose ?

Charles
 

I put down "3 authors" and the collected music works from "3 groups". I don't think I could pick 3 books only, or 3 albums only it's hard enough picking 3 authors and 3 groups! But if you can do it Charles go ahead! And I would probably get so bored reading the same 3 books listening to the same 3 albums that I would go crazy after a month anyways!!

Hmm, I suppose if there are 3 persons there to converse with then there will need to be ANOTHER 3 hot babes to keep the 3 gentlemen satisfied.

{Unless you picked the Pope, the Dalai Lama St. Thomas Aquinas}

Now if you picked Mohammed, Solomon Henry VIII as your companions you will need 3 boatloads of virgins every month....
 
I'm still working on them..... lets see:

Books:
Papillion
Lord of the Rings trilogy

Movies
Battle of Britain
The Thing (John Carpenter)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Music:
Olias of Sunhillow (Jon Anderson)
Physical Graffiti
Trick of the Tail
d; Security

Babes:
Phoebe Cates
Jessica Alba
Stephanie Seymour

Famous people:
Ben Franklin
Teddy Roosevelt
?


Thats all I got so far. Burnt from work so I'm not thinking clearly.
 
If I were alone on an island with only three books, I'd pick (in this order)
1. The Boy Scout Handbook
2. The Longest Day
3. Bodyguard of Lies

You're right, I purposly omitted the Bible.
