This week's TWQ is inspired by the tv series 'Lost'.
You have crashed on a desert island. What are the five essential things you need to sustain yourself?
Be as imaginative or as weird as you like!
Here are my five items:
1: Swiss Army Knife: This will help in a lot of awkward cutting to do.
2: A working lavatory: There are certain things we all need!
3: A tent: Essential to protect yourself from tropical storms.
4: A book: "What to do when you crash on a desert island".
5: A tribe of natives. The chief has a beautiful daughter aged 20 whom he wants you to marry. The two of us can live in idyllic paradise for the rest of our days.
Now it's up to you...
I haven't watched Lost.

Good morning, I'm here via Michele. Heh, I loved your show, and we still talk about your "Manoeuver" (yanking down your little velour shirt)
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Jean-Luc, it is too early for my brain to work so hard! I guess I would need:
ReplyDelete1. a large supply of dry matches
2. loads of fresh, clean water
3. a knife (preferably carbon steel)
4. a book on surviving in the wild
5. a tent
Michele sent me.
Hehehe
ReplyDeleteMichelle sent me. I'd swap the toilet for the toilet paper.
Have a nice day!
1. The big knife of course
ReplyDelete2. Sunblock-I tend to burn if I spend more than 5 min out under the sun
3. Insect repellent-I also git bit to easily
4. Flares-To start up a fires, scare away preditors, signal any boats or airplanes, etc.
5. A nice warm, waterproof sleeping bag-to zipper myself into for sleeping or for when storms hit.
Can I just be completely impractical rather than repeating the big knife thing again? *grin*
ReplyDelete1. A huge fridge, working, of course stuffed with goodies.
2. My computer with connection.
3. A mosquito net - (I could see myself typing away under one of these and I really think they are romantic)
4. Hugh Grant
5. An endless supply of white wine (chilled, of course in fridge above)
Now THAT might get my book written... Actually, better scratch Hugh Grant if I have work to do...

OH - - - I forgot - - - - this would make it six things, but the Cap't will forgive me. On the off chance that there is no tribe of natives with a handsome young stud...I'd hope to have Jean-Luc {I can call you Jean-Luc can't I?}along for the duration. He seems to handle being stranded pretty well...he's done it several times...{{{smiles innocently}}}

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Thought I'd return the favour and check yours out. Have to agree with you on the working lavatory thing... digging holes doesn't quite cut the mustard.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteMy 5:
1) a guy named Friday ( any other day will do btw)who is handy with survival stuff and is cute
2) my son
3) laptop with connection
4) toolbox ( with tools!)
5) first aid kit with anti-mosquito spray
Well, I'll bite.
ReplyDelete1. ESPN
2. Conjugal visits
3. A beach chair
4. A library

I think that just about does it. Visiting from Michele's
Tom Hanks already living on the island with all the skills needed to survive. :)
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me, sort of.
Here I am again from Michele's. It's fun reading everyone's answers to this question. :)
ReplyDeleteDeja vu. Michele sent me.
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me - again!

ReplyDelete2. A computer with Internet access
