MrFun of course. He can do the cooking, cleaning, have sex with him and then, when bored, hunt him down like an animal to sacrifice to my pagan god.

You don't **** in the ocean, you savage. That's important bio material, keep it on the island. take the crap in the forest, then cover it with soil. But do it on the edges on the forest, near the sea, so you can rapidly plunge and let the ocean waves do the job for you.

Don't you think Molly Bloom would be better for doing cooking and other domestic type chores?

I tried to post this last night, but amazingly the server was too busy at 2 o' clock in the morning.

I can see the smilies no problem. Only a couple times I had trouble loading images. I am having trouble loading threads with many pages like the football thread. If I click last page it doesn't work. I have to click on page 4 and move one by one all the way up.

As for women. women could be a pain because they nag too much. on the mainland it isn't a problem because you can go to a pub and drink. but trapped on an island with a nagging woman could be hell on earth.

so I should clarify that a woman I want should be mute.

Only because men give them reasons to nag.

What would you choose if you couldn't take another person with you? And you can't choose a means of escape from the island. This is supposed to be something to stop you from dying of boredom.

Since a woman isn't an item I guess I'll have to change my vote to a Leathermen Multitool with flashlight. Normally the two come in one belt carrying case.

the batteries might go dead on you.

I'd want a fully stocked library.


that is one thing . It contains many things, but the libary is one thing.

I can't wish for a computer, because I would have no electricity. I cannot wish for a nuclear power plant, for then I would have no computer. So library is the only logical choice.

Books have been said,

I'll say binoculars, since I can write in the sand.

You would get amazing viewing out on the middle of the ocean of the night sky.

Rum...like in Pirates of the Carribean :-)

Jack Sparrow: Stop! No, not good! What are you doing? Not Good! You're burning all the food, the shade... the RUM!
Elizabeth Swann: Yes, the rum is gone.
Jack Sparrow: Why is the rum gone?!
Elizabeth Swann: One, because rum is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two, that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire royal navy is out looking for me; do you really think that there is EVEN the slightest chance that they won't see it?!
Jack Sparrow: But why is the rum gone?!





wait...scratch that...I'll take rum AND Keira Knightley :-D

Lots of very good choices:

Robots:
The Terminator model from the latest movie, with orders to serve and protect me.
R2D2 (from StarWars) although it doesn't speak (C3P0 speaks but that's a detriment rather than an advantage)

Magic stuff:
Alladin's lamp (instant 3 wishes)
The never-emptying bag of stuff

Sci-Fi stuff:
A lightsaber
A food synthesizer

Other stuff:
Videotapes (judging from "Castaway", it's the most useful thing to have in a desert island)
A teddy bear to speak to and hold on to when I go crazy
A surfboard (with all those waves and plenty of time to learn surfing)
