These used to be really popular on TYWC, and this was actually posted here some time ago by faith. Thought I'd go ahead and repost it:

The scenario: You are trapped on a desert island. There are decent food supplies, and edible native plants and animals and you don't know if you'll be rescued. 5 TYWC members are also stranded on the island.. choose TYWC members to fit the following roles:

1. Someone to have philisophical discussions with as you lie awake listening to the strange noises of the island

2. someone to 'populate' the island with in case you are not rescued and need to propagate future generations.

3. someone to eat in case food supplies run low.

4. someone to collaborate on a bestselling novel with while you wait to be rescued.

5. someone to form a tactical alliance with in case the others turn against you and you have to kill them.


also,

choose 1 book

and 1 CD (i guess you're supposed to assume you have a CD player and unlimited batteries)

and 1 food (i guess you're supposed to assume you have an unlimited supply of this food, which makes no sense)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Okay. Elelel! She's fun to talk to... plus she can play clarinet! DUETS!

2. someone to 'populate' the island with in case you are not rescued and need to propagate future generations.

Empress Kat. See answer 5...

3. someone to eat in case food supplies run low.

Hahaha... oh, who would I want to eat? Not Nate since he's a monkey... probably DQ because DUDE! Dairy Queen!

4. someone to collaborate on a bestselling novel with while you wait to be rescued.

Smaur, bwhahahaha...

5. someone to form a tactical alliance with in case the others turn against you and you have to kill them.

Dono! Hahaha... he would probably stab me in the back, but then again, who knows? He might be having too much fun with Kat!

also,

choose 1 book

The dictionary. Because face it... bad spelling sucks.

and 1 CD (i guess you're supposed to assume you have a CD player and unlimited batteries)

Er... MP3 player of all The Beatles songs! *hides*

and 1 food (i guess you're supposed to assume you have an unlimited supply of this food, which makes no sense)

...not DQ?

Okay. Pork ribs. We love resorting to cannibalism! :D
