i hate survivor. it was the worst show ever. wait, no, second worst. it's spiritual forebear, "The Real World" is the worst show ever.
did anyone else read Lord of the Flies for english. this makes me think of that. good book.
la di da i've got a.d.d... what was the question? o there it is, what would i bring. hmm.
1) a boat, duh!
(actually, a big bag full of clean socks. reason: seeing as i actually know a thing or two about survival, i can tell you that if you're not takin care of your feet you're gonna go nuts. actually on an island (we'll assume there's sand on this island) socks might just be annoying cause you get it all inside and stuff, but supposing it were a swamp island you would definitely want them. Well, actually if there's sand and i knew i were going to be stranded on this island (we can assume this, as well, right?) i'd just wear sandals and then i wouldn't need socks, so my survival item would be my big ol ka-bar knife. You're always needing to cut stuff up, and with a knife i can make other weapons, firestarting tools, perform surgery, assasinate sp0rk in a hostile takeover...)
2) I dont have sentimental values. I'd have to bring something real emo but i dont know what. maybe i could still bring my socks and have the ka bar for sentimental value.
3) We're going to have an MP3 CD player, right? cause for this one i'm bringing a compilation of like 100 songs or whatever on a data disc and for the sake of bandwith i'll abstain from listing them all here. actually i just dont feel like running through my collection picking out good stuff which i would have to do because when it comes to picking out music i have a deeply seeded obsessive need to give it ridiculous amounts of thought and make sure its perfect, and there's definitely no one CD that i would be willing to listen to on repeat for an indefinitely long amount of time because that'd be like listening to the radio or watching MTV.
4) this one's way too open ended. anything? geez dude. well bigg dawg's bringin the good book, so i can just borrow that from him now and then ;) and there'd be no gas (or necessary soaps, polishes and waxes) so there's no point in bringing my car (sniff.. i'd miss it!) or a girl, that'd be nice, but thats not practical and she'd probably dump me and we'd have to live at seperate ends of the island
ooh! i got a good one!
if there are waves (we'll assume there are) i'd have to bring a surfboard cause i've always wanted to learn how to actually surf and that would be good for passing the time.
or maybe just more socks.
i've been trolling MOC all day and i'm gonna blame that for my incoherent post, rambling sentences and lack of proper punctuation
goodnite.
-G-
Wow, I could not stop laughing! Jolly good show.
1 - boat, heh, except then that voids the entire discussion!
- socks - quite funny
- sandles, a little more practical
- knife - love the hostile takeover bit, that really made me laugh
2 - damned funny when I read that the socks were survival and the knife sentimental ... genius ... again, couldn't stop laughing
3 - mp3 cd player - sorry, so now you've gotta post a comment as to what real cd you'd take (I know it's tough, but look at the bright side ... every sporkop listens to good, no, great music, it's one of the biggest requirements to actually gaining sporkop status ... so we'd have a collection of seven or eight (how many of us are there, actually?) good cd's to alternate between)
4 - the girl thing was funny too, laughed hard, then I realized you were serious ... dude, all the chicks dig you, and you'll get the hang of it soon, and then I'll be fucking jealous of all the play you get, so quit your bitching!
I like the surf board idea, quite creative
currently listening to: Bush- Deconstructed (the remixes CD). I think that'd probably do nicely. I could probably find something emo tht i'd rather have, but like i said, i dont want to think about it too much. or incubus (morning view probably). or OLP. can i take OLP? as in.. like.. the band? or i could bring some Tool or NIN or "glitch" of some sort or something to drive everyone insane and laugh as we slaughter each other mercilessly with blunt, poorly constucted, nearly - but not quite - lethal objects. or a boy band, achieve the same result. or creed, but then all our heads would just explode right off the bat and there'd be no fun in that.
and on point 4 - shut up.
touche!
I guess you could bring olp, the band ... but I dont' think they'd agree to it ...
Of course, I'm the admin, and moderator of this discussion, so I can say what I want to, and considering I'd be happy with olp being there, I say yes.
And on point four, you know it's true.
ok, I'm just gonna jump in here and act like I'm a regular user since spork asked me to post and say:
Bush: Deconstructed sucked hugely. Seriously, what are you listening to? It is by far the worst Bush album. Right up there with Golden State. And if you're coming at it from less of a rock view and more of a techno view - it still sucks, and I'm at liberty to say this since I'm a fan of both genres. I'm sorry, there's much better stuff out there. If you wanna bring a Bush cd, bring sixteen stone or razorblade suitcase, but if you bring deconstructed I'm burying it in the sand.
I like socks, though.
- Devin
I hated Deconstructed, yes, but Golden State I really like ... In fact, I like all Bush albums, except Deconstructed. Bush has always been a guilty pleasure band for me. They rock.
Spork.
hmm. well i actually kinda liked it. but seeing as i dont want to cause any island strife until i ruthlessly start slashing throats, i'll pick something new... later...
haha, well put
okay how 'bout Radiohead - Kid A
that one NEVER gets old
(Runner up is MxPx - At the Show)
I'd take OK Computer over Kid A, but wouldn't complain ... just as long as we don't do any of that Amnesiac crap (not a bad CD, it's just Kid A all over again, and kid a is so much better)
Ok, first off Survivor is the greatest show the man has ever created, and if we all have one flaw, mine is that I bow down to the man for creating this show. Don't ask me why, but I love it. With a passion. A very great passion. Ok, now that I'm done ranting, on to my list.
Survival Item:
Bow and Arrows. I'm a hella (yes, I just used that word) good shot and I just love shootin a bow. Plus it would come in handy when those wild cannibals come running at you. Also, I could take a shot at Grant for hating survivor.
Sentimental Item:
I would bring my chihuahua Yoggi with me. He means a lot to me. Plus, if we ever got hungry, as Mel Gibson put it in the Patriot, dog is a good meat.
CD:
Sublime. Without a doubt. I need my daily dose of Sublime and I don't care what others think of them. They just put me in a good mood. And I'll need to be in a good if we just cooked my chihuahua for dinner.
Other Random Item:
A poster of Richard Hatch, winner of the first season of Survivor. That way i could hang it on a tree above Grant. So, while reenacting Survivor he could look at the original Survivor!
So there ya go.
--Jordan--
How can you NOT pick the best Radiohead CD ever? The Bends is where it's at!
--Fiend
Alright Jordan, first of all, there could only be one dog on the island, and your little rat dog wouldn't last. He'd be the first to get bar-b-qued to a crisp. Second, if the whole island turned into every man and Dawg for himself, how would you hide? You freaking glow in the dark. As for the bow and arrows, good choice. Makes it easier to fish if nothing else, and you could always re-use the arrows; pull them out of your victims and re-use them if they didn't break on the bone. Unlike Sporks shotgun, which only has 8 shots, one time use.
Plus, we all know that the fatest guy on a deserted island always outlasts the skinny people. It's not becuase we have more food stored up in our numerous jelly rolls, but we'd get desperate for food quicker and would turn canable before you skinny a$$es even got hungry. Just thought I would point out that minor fact about survival.
One question. Could you stretch the flesh of your victims in a way to form a tarp to take shelter in in the event of a storm? I mean, could you skin them, dry the skin and then stretch it? Just a thought.
--Bigg Dawg
... and a disturbing thought at that, Bigg Dawg. But if it were possible, then would we not want to skin the biggest guy on the island, so that we'd have the largest shelter? Also, when it comes to cannabalism, who do you think we'd get the most meat from? It comes down to a big guy having to eat two or three of his buddies just to sustain his ravenous appetite, or all the little buddies ganging up to take on the big guys, and then having a stockpile of food for, like, a week. seems like an obvious choice to me.
btw. Jordan, nice pick. and Grant, I vote Way of the Buffalo if you're going MxPx.
- Devin
I'd concur
Devin, you're just a hater ;)
-G-
(besides, half the tracks from "Slowly.." are on "At the Show," only better performed live)
ok Devin, good point, I just comment on it. First of all it would take a peace treaty between the already warring Sporkops to gang up on me. One or two of you against me (with the exception of NavySeal) would find it tough to take me down. Kinda reminds me of cave men days, it taking the whole tribe to take down one Mammoth. anyways, as for meat, dude, im all fat. I have little to no meat on me what-so-ever.
