The Ultimate Desert Island Question

I've heard a lot of desert island questions in the past. They usually go something like: If you could take one person with you to a desert island (or, alternatively, one CD, or one movie, or one luxury, or one book, etc), what would it be?

So I thought I'd ask the ultimate desert island question of you lot: If you could go to one desert island and bring anything with you that you currently possess, what desert island would it be?

Frasier Island, off the coast of Australia.

I'd bring... my sand bucket and pale. You know, like in case I get bored or something, I can make sand castles! :D

@Veh, what's Frasier Island like? You don't exactly make it sound like a thrilling tourist trap, but that's okay. ;)

Actually Fable, Frasier island is one of the ... if not the most beautiful island in the world. Of course I'm biased since I've been there many times, but it's truly an amazing place.

It's an island made of sand (like most I'd assume ;) ) but the life it sustains is amazing. Tropical mud crabs, varies bird species and uncounted vegetation species. If you could go anywhere, it's one of the nicest places you could.

But hey, everyone likes sand castles, so ;) Plus, I could rule the little crabs.. I'll build them houses, they can gather food ;) :D

*happy sigh* ;)

Hmmm, well I haven't been to any desert islands, so I really couldn't say... :rolleyes:

@Veh maybe the crabs could live in the sandcastles... :D

I would bring my boat, but I don't have one! :(

I would take my computer, but no power. :(

I would take my CAR! :) yeah that's it, but it wouldn't fare too well in the sand :(

I would take my couch, that's the only thing I think I could make use of. :)

Well, you could always install a power unit. And a septic tank. And some phone lines. And... ;)

What do you need a couch for when you have nice sandy beaches?? Maybe a blanket, that sand gets everywhere... ;) :D

Our first date:

Mr. Weasel: "Hello can you swim?"

Mrs. Weasel: "Yes I can"

Mr. Weasel: "Will you marry me?"

Mrs. Weasel: "If your name isn't really Weasel I will"

And lies wherever it can, too :p :D

@Weasel - so you and your wife were already related on your first date? :eek: That explains a lot... :p :D
