Castaway

This is a little Meme that I thought up while walking Custard.

You are stranded on a desert island, like Tom Hanks in Castaway, and 10 items have been washed up with you. What are they? You cannot choose anything that will prevent you being stranded, ie no helicopters, PCs with Internet access, etc.

My answers are in red.
  1. A solar powered DVD player with one movie - what is the movie? The Lord of the Rings.


  2. A solar powered CD player and 1 music CD - what is on the CD? "In your Honour", Foo Fighters.


  3. A huge crate filled with a single food item that will not go bad, eg potatoes, steak, chocolate - what is the food? Potatoes, you can do so much with them!


  4. A huge crate filled with a type of drink - what is it? Coke!


  5. A book - which book? "Small Gods" by Terry Pratchett.


  6. A piece of furniture - what is it? A really nice bed.


  7. A picture - what is it? One of our wedding photos.


  8. A piece of clothing in addition to what you were wearing - what is it? A nice thick towelling robe.


  9. A box containing everything you need to learn a new skill - what is the skill? Playing the piano.


  10. One more crate is washed up - what is in it? Cooking equipment.

Well? What about you?

Glad you liked this!

Logzie - Narnia is a good one too! That book sounds good too. Does it exist or should you start writing it?

Kiki - Snorkelling - great idea!

Ali - I think that having 6 people in a crate is cheating, but I will let you get away with it, especially as I am suspecting (hoping) that the guy with the George Forman is me?

Terri - Waffles? Well I guess they are potatoes really! Snowboarding is hilarious! Maybe your island is in Alaska, or maybe you have got really big sand dunes that do the trick!

Ali said...

You're right! It IS you!
Oh that's funny, I didn't think you'd figure that.

Rock Chef said...

Yes, I managed to put 2 and 2 together...

Logzie said...

am confused about your comment on the book...

The Bible?

Rock Chef said...

Sorry, I was referring to the 101 things to do with potatoes, which was your skill not your book!

I can see your concern!

Logzie said...

Ah...I was thinking maybe you got it mixed up with the CD but even that didn't work...I didn't think about the Potatoes! Ha!!!! :0)

1. The Color Purple
(a movie I could watch over and over)
2. U2... The Joshua Tree
3. Pringles (a close second is trail mix)
4. Diet Coke!!!
5. Harry Potter (any of the series...could read over and over and still get something new out of them)
6. futon... a couch for the day and a bed for the night (of course all of the sheets will come with it...)
7. A family photo... one that contains all the children, the hubby, the dog, my folks, rob's folks, etc.
8. oversize GAP sweatshirt (in the color yellow of course)
9. Developing my own film
10. I liked the idea of 6 friends, but since it's not a qualifying answer, I will have to say... everything you need to survive on a deserted island... boos, friends, etc:)

What a fun exercise! Thanks for that:)
