If you were stranded on a desert island...
...which non-essential item would you wish to have with you?

What would you choose to amuse yourself for the long years on the island? Bear in mind that you have no electricity, so Playstation 2 is out of the question.

I would wish for an acoustic guitar with a few sets of spare strings.

Aren't women considered an "essential item"?

Well, you can't live with them, can't live without them.

I think that makes them essential items. :D

A boat. Face it, a boat isn't essential to living on the island, only escaping from it.

yes, but why would you want to leave?

If you get all the essential items you need, there is no reason to live.

Electricity and women are two big things. And an electronics store. maybe a grocery store as well.

nothing else is needed

Well... you can survive without a woman... therefore, they would be considered non-essential. Food and water are a different story.

I didn't say it would be fun or easy... just not essential.

No question. I'd take a woman. Howevr if the question is further then that then a two way radio or a tv camera to talk to other people would be key.

The problem is, that with taking a woman with, you know she's going to bust your butt to build a house, start animals to make rugs (sp?) etc... ;-) : hmmm:

The good thing about bringing a woman is that, even if she turns out to be a complete *****, you can always just eat her. Mmmm, womyn flesh...

Why do people keep posting "smilie-only" posts when they know the images aren't working? Rather silly, I'd say.

The smilies could be cached.
And we could be getting +1s talking about them in the community forum.
