I've never seen "Survivor," but a few of the kids I used to teach watched it religiously (8th grade - go figure). Anyway, apparently one of their rules is that each contestant is allowed to bring one "luxury item" to the island. I'll go two better and allow each person to bring THREE luxury items to the island. So, what things would you bring because you absolutely don't want to live without them?
For the sake of our game, let's assume that on the island there already exists, inexplicably, an endless stash of "The Office" DVDs, Season 1 & Season 2 AND all future seasons (I don't know how they got their hands on the future episodes - mythology of the island and all, you know). We're not sure how they got there, either - perhaps a never-seen and probably-imaginary drop from a phantom cargo plane. It's probably best that we not question these things about our island, lest we become annoyed and disenfranchised by the lack of answers available to us.
OK, luxury items, GO!
My acoustic guitar (seriously, I went on a vacation last summer and didn't bring it, nearly had a panic attack.)
Sketchbook and pencils
Jenna Fischer
my panda stuffed animal. (hopefully I don't sound too girlish, but it has sentimental value)
my ipod
pictures of family and friends
My cellphone (just on the off chance someone finally calls me...someday my princess will come)
A comfortable pillow
Something to write on (notebook and pencil)
My iPod (if it still worked)
My guitar
Sunglasses
Not very original, i know, but I'm easily pleased.
John Krasinski
Condoms
Fully-fueled helicopter, so we could leave when (if) we wanted
I think you can all tell where my mind is at.
hmm...
i'd take sarah chalke over deck of cards, but people aren't items, you silly plantation owners ;p.
CTF, You mean I can't bring JK? Okay, I'll have to revise to...
Laptop computer
Soap
Candy
John Krasinski

Wow. Show us your hand, Lori, and don't hold back ;-)
I do, however, applaud your forethought and careful attention to detail, especially in the arena of health issues.
Loaded Teapot, Well, you can never be too careful, especially when it comes to those "Hollywood types," ya know. ;-)
I've been spending an inordinate amount of time over the past few hours trying to formulate my own list, and here's what I have so far:
*Big fat notebook (wide ruled, heavy paper, no perforations)
*Big bag of pens (blue, medium point, Bic Crystal Sticks - I'm not usually this anal, but if I'm going to spend the rest of my life on the island, I don't want to constantly be annoyed by the fact that I have to write with a black fine-point Rollerball on crappy paper).
*Big fat wine-colored down comforter (I hate being cold...I don't care where the island is, I will eventually get cold)
Question: Is there still a hatch? If so...
My Ipod, A good book... don't know which one yet, My dog :) Hey if people are bringin JK and JF, I can bring Missy!
Question: Is there still a hatch?
Good question. We just don't know. Even if there is, it could all be an illusion...or a dream....or a stopover in Purgatory. Whatever. And even if there is a hatch, we're not sure what's in it. So this question is wide open to interpretation.
Soccer ball, scriptures, guitar. Also, I would fill the guitar full of Cadbury Mini-Eggs. I know, that's cheating, but I would share some. Woo!
Coffee. I just thought of this lately again. I don't know how I thought I'd ever get by on the island without it.
Good coffee, too. No instant crap. If there's a Starbucks on the island, even better.

Hey if Dwight can hollow out the Physician's Desk Reference and fill it with survival items, you can fill your guitar with Cadbury mini-eggs. But Hershey's Kisses would be a better choice.
This is tough. My iPod's no good if I can't charge it. Chocolate's really a mess in a tropical setting. And a fully stocked yacht just seems to be not in the spirit of the game. (Then again, John Kraskinski and a box of condoms wasn't out of the realm of possibility for Lori.)

Cool, then I want to play.

Is that right?
I foresee a long, long phone conversation tonight!
;-p

Then my job is done. :-P
Also, yay!
Wait - is this the designated Madgett gross-out thread? Or is that a different one?
I think they're all the designated Madgett gross-out thread.
See? You really did miss a lot!

Negative. Umm, you have your own thread now.
