I am proud to announce that none of us would try to leave the island and go back to his/her regular life. Also we have a few scavengers among us :D

We're using the Cds as sun reflectors to signal for a beer drop not a human extraction. :)Joj Y. edytował(a) ten post dnia 17.01.09 o godzinie 19:20

1. You are to crash on a desert island, and you can choose 5 records to take with you. Quite unfortunately, there's no power on the island so you use the records as plates. Or mirrors... or something. Anyway: What would be your way of spending time on the island (until you get resued or hunted down by local savages)?

Also, would you consider eating a turtle in this situation, even tho they are so cool?

I'd spend my time learning how to brew palm tree beer and I'd use turtles as a means of transportation.
2. Your doctor informs you that after eating a slightly old turtle, you have only 350 more years to live. How would it affect your life? How would you break it out to your heirs?

I'd say sorry to have to put them through 300 years of extra hell!
3. Due to the new goverment regulations you are not allowed to spend your christmas the way you usually do it, under the penalty of Celine Dion. What other way would you choose?

I'd rejoice at the new government regulations and promptly eat my own underwear.
4. An original way to use a sponge? (This is not a yes/no question).

You could paint it red and stuff it down your trousers
5. You recieve a form. The 'name' section leaves you about half a page of space. There is a note 'fill out with crayons'. How would you react?

Also, what song would come to your mind?

I'd draw a large picture of a fish and whistle "love will tear us apart"

Thanks to Kuba Nowak for these somewhat bizarre questions!

1. You are to crash on a desert island, and you can choose 5 records to take with you. Quite unfortunately, there's no power on the island so you use the records as plates. Or mirrors... or something. Anyway: What would be your way of spending time on the island (until you get resued or hunted down by local savages)?
Why do you guys all believe your desert island would be full of palm trees, coconuts and turtles? Look what Daniel Dafoe’s indoctrination has done to people!
With my luck, I’d crash on a desert island near the North Pole and spend the rest of my life building a gigantic Snowman.

Also, would you consider eating a turtle in this situation, even tho they are so cool?
They’re cool. So what. Everything is cool on my island. My island is the coolest place in the world.

2. Your doctor informs you that after eating a slightly old turtle, you have only 350 more years to live. How would it affect your life? How would you break it out to your heirs?
Sorry, but I am not ready for washing my CD plates in cold water for the next 350 years. That would ruin my manicure.

3. Due to the new goverment regulations you are not allowed to spend your christmas the way you usually do it, under the penalty of Celine Dion. What other way would you choose?
I’d celebrate Christmas burning all Celine Dion’s albums. I am taking them to my island.

4. An original way to use a sponge? (This is not a yes/no question).
Put the grass seeds in those tiny holes, water and fertilize the sponge regularly.

5. You recieve a form. The 'name' section leaves you about half a page of space. There is a note 'fill out with crayons'. How would you react?
Spontaneously.

Also, what song would come to your mind?

Crazy by Seal. Good there are seals on my island.

Kuba thought the sponge is as valuable as brain in nutrients, and I gave him a lesson... that's all about it.

Or mirrors... or something. Anyway: What would be your way of spending time on the island (until you get resued or hunted down by local savages)?

My first thought was 'Oh, my! My preciouis cds (Pearl Jam's Ten, Alanis Morissette, Lenny Kravitz, Ania Dabrowska and Bryn Christopher) as plates? No way!'So I'd use some bamboo leaves as plates and wait till they (??) establish electricity on the island.
My way of spending time - looking for food and drink and making friends with turtles.

2. Your doctor informs you that after eating a slightly old turtle, you have only 350 more years to live. How would it affect your life? How would you break it out to your heirs?
I'm boring - I'd just tell them the truth.

3. Due to the new goverment regulations you are not allowed to spend your christmas the way you usually do it, under the penalty of Celine Dion. What other way would you choose?
I join the guys and head for Ibiza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. An original way to use a sponge? (This is not a yes/no question).
Throwing it wet from a balcony into ppl walking.
5. You recieve a form. The 'name' section leaves you about half a page of space. There is a note 'fill out with crayons'. How would you react?
I'd give it to my son (a 2-year-old) and have him fill the form.

Also, what song would come to your mind?
T Rex Children of the Revolution. No idea why...

The most intriguing set of questions so far. Next week we return to pets and wannabe lottery winners.
1. You are to crash on a desert island, and you can choose 5 records to take with you. Quite unfortunately, there's no power on the island so you use the records as plates. Or mirrors... or something. Anyway: What would be your way of spending time on the island (until you get resued or hunted down by local savages)?

Also, would you consider eating a turtle in this situation, even tho they are so cool?
Five records? I'd take Wagner's Parsifal - that's four CDs, and a little Talk Talk to boot.

My way of spending the time? I would try to make some coconut alcohol, perchance write rhymes with a stick on the wet sand, Keats-like. After a couple of weeks I wouldn't rule out soliciting sexual services from the local monkey population.

Eat a turtle? No. I'd sooner organise turtle races, complete with a drag strip and a dune track.
2. Your doctor informs you that after eating a slightly old turtle, you have only 350 more years to live. How would it affect your life? How would you break it out to your heirs?
My doctor? No, I would ask Joj for a second opinion :)

As I don't intend to leave any heirs, it wouldn't pose a problem. 350 years more? Yes, I can imagine myself by the end of that period: the last heterosexual guy on earth, driving a nuclear-power sports car. Tempting, despite the boredom of living so hopelessly long.
3. Due to the new goverment regulations you are not allowed to spend your christmas the way you usually do it, under the penalty of Celine Dion. What other way would you choose?
>
Celine? I'd volunteer to be electrocuted or I'd electrocute her. Celine, die on.
4. An original way to use a sponge? (This is not a yes/no question).
>
Let it soak, leave it like that, and grow some colourful fungi. Or else, in the summertime, immerse it in icy water and throw it at some sunbathing dames.
5. You recieve a form. The 'name' section leaves you about half a page of space. There is a note 'fill out with crayons'. How would you react?

Also, what song would come to your mind?
I would try to draw some pictures representing memories dear to me. Something entertaining, like a city landscape full of partying people, maybe with my name on a neon sign in the background.

A song? I could draw while listening to

You know, there's this street close to mine, called "ul. Gościnna", and there's a lady sunbathing in her garden, I see when I go out for a walk...
I thought, this idea of yours, could be a nice "ice breaker".
I'm gonna try it this summer, and say "hi".

Wow... you went for 30 posts without banging the local fauna.
Anyway, you people scare me.
Here are the correct answers;>.
1. You are to crash on a desert island, and you can choose 5 records to take with you. Quite unfortunately, there's no power on the island so you use the records as plates. Or mirrors... or something. Anyway: What would be your way of spending time on the island (until you get resued or hunted down by local savages)?

I would enjoy myself. It's like vacation, but without random people calling you to do stuff.
Also, even thou NOONE ASKED what records I would take with me*, I'd probably choose classical music. Every other kind of music would get really really boring after a short while.

*how does it work exactly? You see the engines on you plane explode, so you think "Oh, f*ck, I'd better start those ITunes downloads"?
Also, would you consider eating a turtle in this situation, even tho they are so cool?

No. Too cool.
2. Your doctor informs you that after eating a slightly old turtle, you have only 350 more years to live. How would it affect your life? How would you break it out to your heirs?

It wouldn't probably. I'd maybe push some stuff planned to do a couple of years.
As for the heirs, the greedy, non-existent assholes, I would wait till I'm 95, invite them in and gave them sealed envelopes to open when they get back home. The would say "ffffff*ck you". Such a nice person I am! I care.
3. Due to the new goverment regulations you are not allowed to spend your christmas the way you usually do it, under the penalty of Celine Dion. What other way would you choose?

I was thinking pizza, but count me in for Ibiza. But we have pizza.
4. An original way to use a sponge? (This is not a yes/no question).

Pet it. Hug it. Call it George.
5. You recieve a form. The 'name' section leaves you about half a page of space. There is a note 'fill out with crayons'. How would you react?

I would write my name in crayons. Duh.
Also, what song would come to your mind?

Dance Commander. It always comes. Never invited.

Now, the sponge thing:
I was not saying that it is as nutritious as a brain. It just looks like a brain. What I was saying is that a sponge can be a meal if you soak it in some valuable dishwater for some time. And no, I don't want to go back there;>.

Kuba Nowak:
[...] Also, even thou NOONE ASKED what records I would take with me*, I'd probably choose classical music...
Yez, I asked the very same question to myself...
"Why don't I take some classical music with me?"
"Vivaldi had never bored me to death (!)"
"I would die to listen to the 5th symphony till death"

Edit. Oh, I am kind of joking of course.

Just... I can't really understand why exactly people have that idea of: "with classical music I could go to the other side of the universe, but with rock, I'd get bored easily, I guess" thing.

Maybe one of the reason could be, that people don't like to listen to classical music that often in their daily life, and that's why they haven't had the chance to memorize every bit of intricate details in those musical pieces yet, and that leads to the false assumption of classical being "more of a universal" music....
Yeah, it's a wee bit more complex music than your regular P. Diddy song, but it is a piece of music at the end, not the greatest creation of humankind.
Well, maybe some of them are. heheilter K. edytował(a) ten post dnia 21.01.09 o godzinie 17:15

That is exactly why. The only way I listen to classical music today is when it muzaks around. That's why I'd take it. Either I'd appriciate it as people in bow ties do, or it would be a background for the usual monkey humping. I know the rock music I listen to everyday (and I love it), but I wouldn't take it with me to the island having only 5 cds to choose.
