i haven't misspelled desert island. i'm naming mine DESSERT, because after i thought about it, many of the people i have chosen to be stranded with have to do with food, the obtaining of it, and the preparing it.

THE SUBJECT: if i went on a "three hour tour" with some friends from strokenet and got stranded like gilligan, who would i chose and why? i gave it a lot of thought and while there were MANY people i'd chose, i narrowed it down to a few. here they are and why

CINDER: because ANYONE who can mow 4 acres of land with a broken down lawn mower must be physically strong enough to hack down trees and build a raft to get us off of the island and to civilization in time for dinner

ROD:(williams) even though he hasn't said it, something tells me that he could grow an herb garden which we could use to season our food. also, he is interesting enough to make the days go by faster

CHEFDENNY: he could prepare ANYTHING we were able to hunt up or grow for food and make the most MUNDANE food better. he proabably has a recipe for coconuts and pineapples

JANICE:(jstern) even though she turned her bait into a swimming pet the last time, she has had a chance to learn from her mistakes and MAY be able to catch some fish for us to eat. also, she is SO funny, she could liven up the most boring days with her wit

VICKI:(vmoran) she is very resourceful and has a green thumb with flower gardens. even though she hates veggies, i bet we could GENTLY persuade her to find a way to grow a vegetable garden too.

CHARLES:(cbramsey) because he is VERY intelligent and is a genius with electronics, maybe he could find a way to turn a simple radio into a two way device and call for help or at least order us in a pizza. ALSO, he is a dedicated cat lover and should there be any wild cats on the island, he could turn them into pets rather than enemies.

HOSTSTEPHEN: he used to be in the military and i am sure is trained on how to "hunt and kill", which would come in handy with capturing wild boar, for those of us who won't eat vicki's veggies.

HOSTPAM: she has enough burning energy and willpower in her that she wouldn't let any of us give up. she could keep the morale up, even if it took a stick. which would in turn, speed up us gathering, growing or catching our dinner.

STEVE MALLORY: with his superior intellect, he could mastermind an escape plan while we were all scrounging around gathering food.

MICHAEL(greyhe) anyone who can survive 95 degree weather without an air conditioner cold serve MANY purposes on the island. also, since he is a locksmith, if we locked ourselves out of or IN our huts, he could get is back in them OR out OF THEM IN TIME FOR DINNER.

BIL: because of his never ending positive attitude, he would keep everyone's spirits up and give them the energy they needed to KEEP LOOKING FOR FOOD

JEAN( jriva): because "children" of all ages need a mom around to tell us what to do. and if any of us "children" get out of line or refuse to do our share gathering our food, JEAN has the abilty to set them straight!

PERRY: because he could write a book about the whole experience afterwards and turn it into a best seller and make all of us famous. he could even include a survivor's recipe booklet in the back, with chefdenny's help.

i am SURE that any member of this site would make a good dessert island roomate for various reasons. i didn't mean to leave anyone out. these are just the first one's who came to my mind AND, it's time for my LUNCH and i have got to stop writing somewhere!!!!!
