Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

thePurpleGiant · Nov 27, 2003, 06:57 PM

Okay, you have to live on an island for 1 year with 10 MacNN members of your choice. Who would they be, and why?

Hannah W · Nov 27, 2003, 07:50 PM

I'm kind of new here - so I don't really have anyone to take. You seem nice, can I take you?

philzilla · Nov 27, 2003, 07:59 PM

i'd rather pick 10 to stay stranded there forever, but that would get nasty real quick.

Apple Pro Underwear · Nov 27, 2003, 08:17 PM

Philzilla - because he'd have stowed away plenty of liquor among his luggage. his beastiality would be frightening at first but i suppose it would be a good way to hunt animals.

Juan Valdes - because he'd probably have his stash with him. never tried any of the good stuff� from cali. all i ever had was from canada and the carribean...

purple giant - because he would bring his boombox and we could play "sweet home alabama" during many of our arse parties

zimphire - because we can track him for sport like the predator

mindfad - because he'd make cool island tattoos for us between driking/hunting christians. mine would be the princess from mario and samus from metroid getting it on

Face Ache · Nov 27, 2003, 08:17 PM

Ten?!

Any more than three of you and I'm swimming.

Face Ache · Nov 27, 2003, 08:23 PM

Oh hang on. Are there ten female MacNNers? No? Okay then, all of the girls and a few of the uglier blokes.

starman · Nov 27, 2003, 08:45 PM

If Demonhood's there, does he get to vote people off the island?

Mike

willed · Nov 27, 2003, 08:47 PM

This island ain't big enough for the ten of us.

LMAO! Since I'm male, I'm your huckleberry.

Hannah W · Nov 28, 2003, 12:06 AM

Looks like no one wants to be on our island thePurpleGiant!

Oh well.

Tulkas · Nov 28, 2003, 12:51 AM

Lilbabykitten. You people are so gay

Demonhood. He's just cool.

Brien. For when I'm bored.

Benign. Hey, I need something to hunt

Philzilla. As cited below.

Zimphire. To drive philzilla insane.

Tooky. I have no idea. Maybe cause he's kooky?

Millennium. Because he's intelligent.

Hannah. On the odd chance they're a woman.

Jaun. I think we all know why

Brien · Nov 28, 2003, 01:06 AM

Smeger: He's cool... and he'd pobably make a boat for us (hey, if he can code ShapeShifter, what else can he do)

Tulkas: Because if he isn't there it'd be a lot more boring

rampant: Because he's funny.

Benign/catsank: for his poetry

Demonhood: just to see what'd happen

b00zo: because he'd find a way to make the island look good

Adam: see above

ca$h: 'nuff said

WDlove: cuz he seems like a nice guy

SWG: because I can

ThinkInsane · Nov 28, 2003, 02:35 AM

I have always maintained that if I'm in one of those survival type situations, I'm eating human as soon as the food runs out. None of this "I'll wait until I'm 3/4 starved to death before I will even consider it" nonsense.

That being said, I will take the eight tastiest of you, and Max to help with the cooking. Max buddy, just make sure you write those recipes down, in case the other eight don't last the full duration....

mmmmm human..... *drools*

dampeoples · Nov 28, 2003, 02:53 AM

I'd take the ten smallest, then I could be king of the Island after you all get beat down!
wait...
Maybe i'd take all the admins and mods - so I could incessantly bitch about this forum for the rest of their lives!

- - e r i k - - · Nov 28, 2003, 04:55 AM

I'll just take Hanna

I'm pretty sure PG is taken, make sure you don't get bitch slapped by his girlfriend!

Erik, on the other hand, seems quite keen!

octane · Nov 28, 2003, 07:46 PM

Philzilla: for the humour, and common sense.

lil' babykitten: to tell us stories.

SWG: incase we run out of women and we need pleasure with someone of the same sex.

ThinkInsane: to patrol the Island and protect us from any danger.

Lerkfish: Intelligent, fair, honest, and one of the top people on earth.

Demonhood: well, it's Demonhood.

Zimphire: for when it all falls apart, and we're kocking cr@p out of each other; he can pray to God for us.

Benign: He's enough of a mystery so far, so that'll give us plenty to talk about.

Face Ache: Cause he's funny, clever, and with a smile like his, how could an Iland exist without him.

Purple Giant: Heck, we need someone to tkae the family pics while we;'re there.

geez man

are we gonna chase yet another female from MacNN once again?

we've actually had a decent female population here but they're all gone thanks to you disgusting freaks! we even had a lesbian...

Veronica · Nov 28, 2003, 08:31 PM

I wanna be on the island with - - e r i k - - and Hanna W!

Ok, I'm tossing demonhood for veronica

Demonhood · Nov 29, 2003, 12:12 AM

tossed out for a woman.

wait, tossed out for a username that appears to be a woman.

maybe we could all stranded on monster island. that'd make things interesting.

Hey, a username that appears to be a woman is one step closer!

If I were stranded on monster island I'd pick the fattest, tastiest member in the hope that the monster would be too full to eat me.

lil'babykitten · Nov 29, 2003, 07:34 PM

hmm interesting I appear twice!
This would be a disaster but anyway...

1. Pooka
2. Voodoo
3. Logic
4. Demonhood
5. eklipse

All of the above to keep the place lively. Can't have an island without comedians.

6. Troll
7. theolein
8. Lerkfish
9. kvm_mkdb

For the intelligent/insightful story telling and conversation.

10. Ca$h- just to see how long he could last without a car.

(ThinkInsane was going to be included but I didn't like the sound of being cooked up and eaten)

Aww, come on. Not much meat on little baby kitties. Would hardly be worth the bother. Plus, I would need to keep someone around to talk to, otherwise I would get bored. Honest.

MindFad · 01:09 AM

Hmm, that's a tough one.

1. Phil: It's Phil. If anyone can make Guinness from coconut milk, it's Phil.

2. Face Ache: We would need comedy on the island. He lives on an island as it is, so he'll feel at home.

3. PurpleGiant: He started the thread, so he has to come along, too. He can back up Mr. Ache.

4. Eug: He would know exactly what we were missing in the Apple world, and we could rely on his predictions. He'll make Macs from coconut shells.

5. Cipher: He'll keep the dumbasses in line, and he'll know which invertebrates are good for eatin'.

6. Max: It's Max, and who else is going to make coconut cheese and curry invertebrates?

7. Mas: Our island warchief, he will be in charge of protecting our camp with his Germanic brawn (and helping Max with the cheese conjuring).

8. The 'Hood: He'll host our nightly chat forum (around the fire). He'll also be in charge of ensuring we all have 140'x40' of living space on the island.

9. Hannah W: We need to start repopulating the Earth, right? If she's even a chick. *cough*

10. Captain Obvious: And, of course, we need bait for fishing.

There's so many more I want to bring.

nredman · Nov 29, 2003, 08:23 PM

i don't know anyone good enough here to pick...probably 10 women though

Literally LOL.

SOLIDAge · 09:54 PM

vmarks-pretty sure he could fix anything....
gorgonzola-he keeps stuff inline
D'Espice-my Munich buddy...i couldn't go w/o him!
Owlboy-another smart one
Cipher-He could be of some use ;-)
Lordx_-Loves to chat it up...and he's from Strong Island
Jansar-his music would keep me sane.
iCol-It seems those brits can really party it up
ca$h-he's Ca$h! no other reason needed!
maquero-another fellow that can party it up.

Link · Nov 29, 2003, 09:12 PM

If I were to choose 10 people to entrap on an island... MYSELF not included...

1. phizilla
2. cipher
3. captain obvious
4. demonhood
5. ca$h
6. zimphire
7. gorgonzolla
8. spliffdaddy
9. owlboy
10. seanyepez

They'd probably kill each other.

If I were to pick 10 macnners to stay with meh I wouldn't care.. they'd probably all jump off the island at one point in time or another...

That or I'd swim off while they don't realize the shore is just 5 feet away

I'm not taking any chances.

cSurfr · Nov 30, 2003, 06:53 AM

I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad that no one picked me. Such is life.

As long as he had another Island to copy off of.

PowerMatt · Nov 30, 2003, 04:42 PM

This has the makings of a sequel to Lord of the Flies.

Funny Bugga · Nov 30, 2003, 05:06 PM

My ten:

daimoni
Lerkfish
Timo
Star Wars Dude
PG
Face Ache
Stuphalina

Actually that's enough.

andi*pandi · 01:32 AM

hmm, this could be tough. Don't know what theme I want my island to be.

lil baby kitten
voyageur
(seems like good people)

maxelson
mastrap
(to make fresh sea salt to garnish our coconut conch fritters)

montanan OR climber, if they are not indeed the same person
(nice rugged sorts who can climb mountains chop down trees, etc, even without their SUVs)

art_director
(we can publish issues of CA out of palm leaves, all without using quark)

davidflas and
wdlove
(the nice people brigade, there to break up fights over the last bit of cheese)

Timo, Dai, Faceache, XI hyperion, Keekeeree and PG have to fight for the last two spots in the life raft. Sorry guys, but it's a tough life. [ETA] The winner can then fight Spliffdaddy, who has been clinging to a rope dragging from the raft. (There Timo, that should fix you!)

I would have put in Philzilla, but I'd hate to see how cranky he was to live with sans beer.

Some fifth grader stole my copy. I think he's in prison now. Not sure what he did... He shot a bartender. Bloody Mary Larry, kind of a tall gangly-lookin fella.

How big is the island? Is there some kind of civilization on the island? Are they cannablistic? Are they the fish-lead wacko orange soda-drinking nut jobs that want me to jump into a volcano? Do we get to take our own luggage? Can I have a submarine? Can I have a submarine sandwich? Does the island have plumbing? What about the island's location? If it's anywhere near the 30th parallel... how will anyone find us? Will we have TiVo?

boots · Dec 1, 2003, 12:29 PM

Lerkfish
Maxelson (and Mrs. Max)
Timo
Andi*Pandi (and Mr. Pandi)
ZigZag
Thunderous_Funker
BlackGriffen
Reverend Boots (my spouse)

Apologies for not including other spouses.
