Alright, so, my turn. For the topic, visit here.
(1) - Survival
Well, since it's already been explicitely stated that I'd be attacked by Mr. NavySEAL himself, just because of the shear principle that killing everyone is what we're destined to do according to Lord of the Flies, I would need defense myself. Besides, Grant's bringing a knife, and Bigg Dawg (if he actually came, he's not a sporkop) is bringing a freakin' axe. Both stated the weapon could and possibly would be used for defense purposes.
So, I searched long and hard, and thought hard, and decided on the Mossberg 590 shotgun with an 8 round magezine. "Why?" you ask. WEll, the Mossberg got very good reviews from many sites I went to, and as an added bonus, one of the few shotguns with an 8 round magezine with a good review. Actually, the only shotgun with a good review and 8 round magezine. And 8 rounds is important of course, because if we're all basically planning on killing each other off, I'd need a round for each SporkOP, assuming I can't get a double kill off with one spray shot. That'd be tight. Anyway, I figured a shotgun would be my best bet for power, and dispersed range of fire so that I don't have to be as accurate as with a pistol or rifle. I obviously have very little military training, and I figured this would be my best bet against a freaking navy seal with only a freakin' knife (and I'm sure, knowing his parents, if he already owns this knife, it can't be that long or it wouldn't be in his house).
Anyway, I figure since Grant's my only real threat, I probably waste a few rounds on him and take his knife, then bigg dawg would be next, and take his axe, and the rest of the party would be no problem regardless of remaining shells.
(2) - Sentimental Value
Alright, I liked Grant's "a girl" idea. Or perhaps a poster of Jenna Jameson. See, I'd use this one to find something sentimental that could also be used to "survive." Like the jenna jameson poster. Or girl. Or perhaps claiming that my massive attack CD has sentimental value and therefore I can bring it as well as the CD chosen in step three. Or maybe, if I had a girlfriend at the time (right now I don't) I'd bring a picture of her. No, that's just cheesy. Actually, side note, I'd wear my running shoes (not one of my chosen items, just chosen apparel). That way I can exercise while i'm there, have a good grip on the ground (towards the inland, away from the sand) so I can outrun grant, and out maneuver, while he's flopping around in sandles ... so I can get a clean shot off with the pump shotgun. :-P
(3) - CD for a Stranded Island
God, this is hard. Perhaps I would make changes to J-Spot Volume II adding Supergrass's - Moving, and Wilco's - Poor Places or possibly Jesus etc. As well as possibly a pavement track. I'd also overburn J-Spot to the full 82:30 instead of just 80:36 like it currently is (oh, and I'd remove the intro outro tracks on it currently for more room for other tracks) ... I, of all people, despise mixes, but if I only had one cd for the rest of eternity, I'd have to make with it.
(4) - Anything else
Probably extra magezines for the shotgun. Or, as Grant put it, if he can have a bag full of socks (what a freakin' pussy) then I can have a bag full of magezines.
Either that, or a second firearm. Possibly a Desert Eagle .357 (not the .50, contrary to movie belief) ...
So that's me ... I'm waiting now for Grant to get on here and post about my ignorance when it comes to weapons and firearms. A shotgun long range probably would at best tear holes in someone's skin, so I'd obviously have to make sure they're close range. And with Grant's skills as a SEAL, that becomes dangerous. yeah, basically I'm screwed. Me with my shotgun and desert eagle couldn't take Grant with his freakin 3 inch hunting knife. Oh well, at least none of the other ops have a chance.
Spork.

I realized I cheated at my own game ... yes, mix cd is incredibly wrong ... so insert in its place (if I don't bring Massive Attack's - Mezzanine (come on, if you think about it, Inertia Creeps would be an excellent background theme song during our war on each other ... it's certainly "creep"y enough ... ok, I'm sorry ...) and if I brought that as my sentimental cd, then possibly maybe ... yep, definitely, Dandy Warhol's 13 Tales from an Urban Bohemia so we can mix it up a little. And maybe even burn Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot into the empty space on the end of the album ...
Spork.
I'm frightened. I'm glad I'm not a real SporkOPer and thus on your hit list. But if I were, I would definitely approve of the Massive Attack disc having sentimental value. Jenna Jameson does not.
So where can I get my hands on J-Spot Vol. II? (For some reason, adding that word "spot" behing the j, and then wanting to get my hands on it makes me feel dirty...) but yeah, or at least the second half, cuz I already have most of the first. Or at least tell me where I can find the track listing cuz I swear I read it like an hour ago but being the novice comp. user I am, I can't find it anymore and I feel stupid.
btw. opt for the desert eagle. more portable, maneuverable, lighter on your feet, bigger ammo clip, pretty much the same firepower. my opinion.

Geez, I never thought about a social unrest with the survivors. Hmmmm.... what would Bigg Dawg bring in the way of offense? I got my ax, thats good close in defense and offense. First off, i would try and get on NavySeal's good side, ally with him. I could be the muscle for anything he needed. Basically whore myself out to him to survive until everone else is destroyed. Then go at it with him. He will probably be tired and somewhat injured from waring with the other ops, so he'll be easier to put under my ax.
I would prbably change my lame zippo lighter, to a flame thrower used in WW-II. For one, it still provides the easy fire that would be so useful in starting camp fires and the such. Also, it is a great weopon for clearing forests, thus flushing out all hiding Ops into the open for easy target practice. And for extra fun, the flame thrower can set people on fire and thus kill them that way. I do know of the inherant dangers of the flame throwers (the fact that spork might shoot the pack with his shotgun and thus blow me up), and the fact that the hose could be severed and get fuel all over me and catch me on fire, but with out a doubt, worth the risks.

Calm down, Grant, you don't kill him until we reach the island. ;)

Me and my shotgun could take you both. I hope.
And I'll be sitting back on a log watching the three of you kill each other laughing my head off, eating chared Chihuahua. picking my teeth with the tip of one of jordan's arrows.
