what would you take?
i assume food and drink are there in abundance,never heard it mentioned!

[theboyfromxtown]

Only 8 records!

You're joking...I dont wanna go to no desert island!

Let me think about this.

Can records be CD's and does the luxury item have to be something to play them on

What about u Tamla?

[ladyvanaye]

Isleys, EWF, Al Green, Prince, James Brown Jackie Wilson, Otis Redding, The Eagles, The Crusaders for music, My 8 Track Player cause it the most original piece of stereo equipment Ive had since youth hood, My Range Rover as the luxury item, and the family photo album as the book. Pictures are worth a thousand words even if Im talking to myself. .

[soulster]

I'd take a hard drive on my entire music collection. Why should I have to exclude anything? Of course that means I would have a decent stereo to hook the drive up to.

[tamla617]

sunshine...
you cant have a juke box,unless its only got 8 records

[tamla617]

its hard isnt it?
8 records i'd got 10 down before i knew where i was!
i dont know if a human is a luxury,but a woman would be! probably illegal within the desert island rules actually,thinking about it.

i'll change it to

i dont think drink supplied is alcahol,so a never ending case of beer!its all fantasy!

[soulster]

8 records soulster

Then i'm not leaving town!

[sunshineonacloudyday]

tamla617:
Wha? No jukebox! I can't help it that the luxury item I've chosen to bring holds 80 records. Besides you yourself have cheated by bringing "various" artists and multiple song albums when your instructions call for "8 pieces of music."

The jukebox is going with me. And when soulster's hard drive crashes, ladyvanaye's Range Rover runs out if gas, y'all will be swimming over to my place to party with my jukebox. [[tamla617 can bring the beer)

[tamla617]

sunshine...
you got a deal!i dont know whats gonna drink more you or the range rover!

and i did say records btw and somehow you managed to read 8 peices and multiply by 10! rofl!

cant believe we're half way to a mutiny before we set sail either.soulsters jumped already
