Desert Island Luxury - 500k prize! (in Contests)

Ok, you're washed up on a desert island, no help in sight. What is the one luxury you're going to want with you. Anything you like (so long as it's PG).
Multiple entries allowed, but only ONE luxury per entry.

500k is the prize - I'll let this run until I see one that I like.

;)

with out a doubt it would have to be my girlfriend i couldn't live without her and seeing we do everything together if i was on a desert island she would already be there anyways

A water purification plant that functions indefinitely.... :D

Jessica Alba

A fully functional mansion with high-speed internet, unlimited stockpiles of food, and a staff to wait upon my every need. This may seem like more than one luxury but in fact it all fits inside and is part of one mansion. =)

A freaking long bridge.

O, and please do not tell my wife my answer.. If she asks I typed her of course.:)

cookie dough! or maybe some cake icing

A pony!

Sirius (or XM, I'm not picky) sat radio receiver with a hand crank (and a life time subscription) but this is only because I wouldn't want my vinyl records to suffer the trauma of life on a desert island and I don't think I could build a raft large enough to carry them all.

A towel.

an ant farm! :P

wait a minute...this is a trick question.

I don't need any luxuries! I rock all by myself. :D

ill take with me my own PDA!

I'd bring.. a boat. ^^

A magic book that can become any novel I want to read. Not one of those ebook things 'cause I like to turn pages.

how about a gun to commit suicide?

Bah, depressing!

I would probably want an endless supply of booze. If I can not get off at least I can get smashed!

Fine, you have a gun. However, you did not ask for bullets. Oops.

So you bludgeon yourself to death with it?

A guitar. and two picks.. Incase one breaks :D

iPhone; use google maps to figure out where I am, call for help, and play CB in the meantime :) Given I have service at that island =/

A hammock.

toilet paper };-)

Diapers for the children, so I can populate my island. Women follow me wherever I go, so that's one luxury I shouldn't even need to ask to take. *grins*

Toilet paper because people forget its a luxury !

A pair of ice skates

mary anne and ginger

a MEGA yacht with everything I need on it :D

Not quite a luxury, but a machete. Infinite uses.

A short wave radio, no cell phone is going to connect from a dsert island but mine can get in touch with any passing ship or plane within 30 miles, haha!

My buddy Wilson.

ok then, an oven that has a unlimited power scource and heat so I can bake my brains. see a loophole ranger?

ChapStick

a heavy rock. i'd stand on top of a cliff, position the rock on a tree so the slightest vibrations would drop the rock, and stamp my feet. the rock will knock me unconsious, an I will fall of the cliff. If my internal bleeding did not kill me, I would drown in the water. =)

some hot dogs. I'd barbecue them on top a volcano, eat them, then jump in

a sword. I would chop a monkey's head off, and drink fruit juice out of it.

a hamburger

a very nice camera

a ryhming dictionary

hmmm running out of suicidal thoughts

I know! a tv that would only show the history channel! that would make my brains ooze out my ears

5 mill CB$

A MP3 player loaded with Jimmy Buffet's greatest hits

fireworks

(kenyan, your post crax me up)

A computer with that 40+ GBPS fiber optics connection so I live the rest of my CB2 days in style ^_~

or was it 40 mgps?

A Lime... for the coconut

An airplane with full fuel and a manual telling me how to fly it.


(I would pick a direction and go until i see civilization)

I would bring


rum!

I would

drink your rum!

I think there should've been a limit (e.g. something you can carry? something that can survive hours under water (let's get away from the "i'll call for help" cliche ;) )

Luxury eh? Not something that helps survival but makes the survival more pleasurable? A large bag of roasted coffee beans with a perfect one-way freshness valve. Mmmmm I love that smell!

Bast!

So I could brush up on my spelling...

And tell the difference between a bowl of ice cream and where you are stranded...

The line "you're washed up on a desert island," sort of removes the possibility of having anything that's not water resistant with you, doesn't it?

Along with my towel, I'd like it to be a desert island resort :)

A spoon so I could eat the Dessert island sounds good anyways !

my Reaper ofcourse

So many choices (much limited by the PG specification...).

Sitting on the beach with a good beer sounds tempting.
But it doesn't quite cut it..
Hmmm... how about a twenty foot yacht?
Or is that cheating?
Wouldn't mind a phone call, call in to work to say that I wont be in tomorrow, or the next day, or the next... instead I'll be sitting under a palm tree drinking out of coconuts (can you tell that it's Monday?).
Yeah, that's my choice. Good old Mondayitus.

hmm...I want 5 frozen TV dinners

A state of the art, top of the range, GPS internet ready mobile phone. With a direct debit paid for subscription with unlimited internet access, and a solar powered battery recharger.

CB while on the desert Island!

Among other things. ;)

A lighter so that I can start a fire at night to cook on. Everything else can be built.

the soul of johnnywas

ill take with me my outdoor kitchen to cook the local wildlife

:O

A guitar, THREE picks, and a BBQ with coals.

I'd want a waterproof swimming suit with a body temperature regulation system which also filters nutrients from the water so I can escape back to reality and play CB again

I'd want to be able to breathe water so I can dive down and se spongebob

I want to find a Guyver Unit washed up in the sand with me.

GGGUUUYYYYYYVVVEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!

*Whoomp*

A sock puppet. :)

TWO guitars, FOUR picks, and TWO BBQ's..

That is unbeatable.

Enough materials and manpower to turn the island into a resort.

I need sunblock infinite sunblock or a couple cases i burn easy!

some baked beans

assuming the island is a nice warm tropical paradise... and even if it wasn't, I'd go with THE 41oz 7-eleven coke Slurpee with a white spoon straw.

lol zeadron thats what i am drinking right now!!!!

I'd take a molecular reconstructor powered by a cold fusion device.

It is a luxury, even if it doesn't exist, right? :P

Comrade Ranger beat me to it.

The Baroque Cycle.

I hope to be stranded with Oprah, however, as it will be nice to be lost with someone who is most-assuredly going to be found.

this little multi tool right here:

http://www.gerber-tools.com/Gerber-Diesel-Multi-Plier-1470.htm

it is the diesel multi plier tool, what more does any one man need?

A Swiss Army Knife.

My initial thought was that I'd bring my camera, but since O Rly already said that I'll have to go with my trusty copy of Robinson Crusoe.

Thanks for all the entries. As I'm moving house very very soon I'll be without my internet access for a few days, so I thought I'd wrap this up.

There were a few really good entries, and if I had more cash I'd spread the wealth a little more. As it is, I'm splitting the prize two ways. One response made me laugh out loud, but it would be meaningless without the post before it.

"Dathron, August 19 10:13 PM EDT

I would bring rum! "


" o Rly, August 20 5:04 AM EDT

I would drink your rum! "



That got me (although special mention to Ranger for Miss Alba...)

QBJohnnywas (Bank Of Johnny) 213.152.230.220 o Rly (O Rly o.O) $250000 -- winner 5:23 AM EDT

Awe, Good job guys..

I was sure the guitars would win! Especially, in your contest of all people ^.^

If I'm stranded on a desert island I'll remember your entries!You can never have enough picks!

I think a combo of the guitarand picks, the rum and Ms Alba might work out for the best......;)

JW,

You can have enough guitar picks but never enough cowbell.

Haha, great contest JW! ^_^ Hurray!

woah...thanks! :)
