You are marooned on an island. What five items would you have brought with you if you knew there was a chance that you might be stranded and why? You can bring one person along. Who would that be?

-A book – I might finally get a chance to tackle “War and Peace”
-An ipod with music and podcasts (I would try and ration my listening to stretch out the battery)
-A BIG fuzzy blanket
-Moisturizer
-Charmin
It was difficult, but I left snacks off the list. I assume I would be eating a lot of coconuts!
I would take my real-life sister or any of the IW ladies!
That list is pathetic. I think if I was honest I would have to replace the blanket with a huge box of candy bars. I could not go without my chocolate.
I of course would bring my husband ( although I thought long and hard about it
) Can I bring my dogs?
A super duper satellite phone to get me out of there!
chapstick
sunscreen
bottled water
a huge case of beef jerky til the calvary came
Pathetic to choose survival over creativity in a hypothetical!
Only five things: I think it would be a huge blanket because I get cold even when it’s hot.
A book of some sort
a knife because I’m sure it would come in handy on an island chopping up stuff to survive
some solar power device so I have unlimited amount of energy to run my computer so I can download some movies, music, chat with people
computer
I had to think long and hard of who I had to be stuck with on this island and right now it’s between my BF or my hubby and I can’t decide so I’ll get back to you on that one. But then again I have a celebrity crush on Joe Flanigan and being stuck on the island with him would be fun but then he could be a real jerk in real life so he may not work neither…ha ha. Hard to decide
Val Kilmer is who I’m taking w/me.
Scrabble
Aveeno oatmeal lotion
chapstick (me too Sam)
beachball
cooking pots for all the crab I’m going to eat. I’m taking magic butter that won’t melt too.

Me too on the chocolate. I can’t go w/o it. So, I’m bringing a crate of it and whatever stuff I need to make more when that is empty.
Brendan Fraser
Junior Mints
Diet Coke
Yep, those are my life-sustaining supplies!
My kids are wondering how soon you all can ship me off?!
Tiffany, Junior mints are so yummy come over to my island if you want to trade for some. Made me think, as long as I’m building a comfy marooning I want to take sunflower seeds (roasted in the shell) and Pepsi.
I’ll gladly share the Junior Mints, but I’m keeping Bren all to myself!
Pam, if you can bring your dogs, can I bring my kitties?
I didn’t know we could bring our crushes and chocolate. I may have to replace some items on my list: Bradley Cooper and Cadbury Chocolate…..
Well I completely forgot about my Diet Coke with Lime. I am somewhat addicted and I need to cut back on that stuff. Hmmm. Maybe that would be a good time to do so.
I sure hope we would all get the same Island. Not sure how my dogs would get along with the kitties but I love cats.
Anya, Bradley Cooper is fine looking guy.
I’d bring George Clooney. See him try to be a commitment-phobe when I’m the only game in town!
I’d also bring a case of brandy, a 50-lb. box of See’s candy, a vat of kick-ass moisturizer with high SPF, a bound edition of the complete works of Shakespeare (George and I can read each other sonnets) and a big fur rug/blanket. Yes, fur is murder, but it’s also perfect for keeping warm and snuggling with George.

LMAO
Tiffany, well, bring Bren over for a game of scrabble and crablegs w/me and Val.
Lily, we’ll be right over!
I think the only thing I’d bring is Matthew McConaughy. I would have no use for the other four things. He’ll do the cooking, keeping warm, and I’ll be getting a lot of exercise with him there.
Forget those Hollywood pretty boys, I’m taking the Professor from Gilligan’s Island (or, his real life equivalent). That way I’ll have almost all the comforts of home. He’ll fix up a way to power my computer, so that covers music and movies. Probably the complete works of Charles Dickens (nice and long). A gallon or so of spf 90 moisturizing lotion (I can use it on my lips too, so I don’t have to take Chapstick). My “fancy” Brita pitcher to filter the water. And, ok, chocolate (but dark chocolate, so it’s healthy!).
Ok….
Laptop(with a solar battery and wifi)
Brita Filter jug(me too Kiki)
Tequila and margarita mix.
My baseball hat
As much Pepsi I can carry
and Cheetos.
Ok that’s seven…guess I can’t do five!
Do I have to bring any one or can I just talk to them on my webcam??
I would bring:
Blistex Lip Medex. The kind in the little blue tub. The only kind that works.
My IPhone with all my songs and books including The SAS Survival Handbook.
A big box of Maltesers. I’m not sure if they have these in the States, but the are awesome.
One of those Leatherman multitool thingys.
Matches or a lighter.
For a person, I would bring Les Stroud from Survivorman.
Hm, mine is too serious.
Teresa E,
What are Maltesers?
They are similar to Whoppers (do you have those in the States?) only way way better. They are chocolate covered malt balls. Imagine the flavour of a Wendy’s Frosty with chocolate.
My hubby.
Blanket.
Bottled water.
Camera.
Wine.
Matches/lighter.
Jennie – I just watched “Michael Clayton” with George for the first time. Really liked it.
Nancy, I love that movie; it’s great.
I saw “Up in the Air” today and was pondering what is so appealing about Clooney to me. He’s cute, of course, and he has a GREAT voice (important), but I think it’s something intangible. He just has a charisma and a confidence that never seems macho-jerkish the way it does with some other men. Love him.
I am laughing at these answers! I cannot even come up with more than two: my husband and the Internet. Wait! Coffee. I’ll need some coffee. And a rescue helicopter + pilot. I don’t want to be stranded long.
