Okay girl, cough 'em up, this topic is for you! Ladies and gents, step right up, name your top five. Living or dead, male or female, for whatever reason you want them- what 5 men and/or 5 women (so you can have 10 total but no more than five of each) would you want to be stranded with? Methinks Le Setz will be on many islands....

Hmmmmm.. okay, firstly five men

1. My loverly boyfriend of course - for obvious reasons but mainly because he's so loverly
2. Macgivor - so he could chisel me a tv from a boulder and turn palm fronds into antennas.
3. Jamie Oliver - he would be the resident farmer and cook for the rest of us.
4. Tim Minchin (Aussie comedian) - he'd have to be stranded with his grand piano though, he'd be there to make fun of the situation and sing songs.
5. Brian Setzer - well he'd be the muscle of the group

Now five ladies:

1. My high school drama teacher - because she's funny and small, so we'd send her up the palms for coconuts.
2. Ellen Degeneres - because she's AWESOME!
3. The polynesian pork bun lady down the road - because she makes good pork buns.
4. My year nine maths teacher - REVENGE!!!
5. Oprah - well how long are we gonna be stuck on an island before they use all that money Oprah has to find her.

Jeez, Kid, great list - the reasoning behind Oprah is brilliant! And you added a fictional character, MacGyver, which I will totally allow. Hell, I may have to steal that.

Men
1. My hubby, of course- if I'm stranded on a desert island, chances are it's because we went on a cruise together!
2. Le Setz and an acoustic guitar (or his Gretsch and a solar powered amp?)
3. Nat "King" Cole and a piano (imagine those jam sessions, eh?)
4. Rickipedia and his entire CD collection (I figure he was DJing the cruise, and hey, we've still got that solar powered CD player!)
5. Just realized I don't need MacGyver- I want this guy, Josh Bernstein. He'd be super-useful. He's a real person! He's former host of The History Channel's "Digging For The Truth," a wilderness survival expert and quite easy on the eyes. Do a google image search and thank me later girls.


Women
1. Angelina Jolie. Don't ask.
2. Ella Fitzgerald at her vocal best. She and Le Setz and Nat can have a GRAND old time.
3. Kid Setzer. Gotta have a concert-going buddy.
4. Either Rachael Ray or Giada De Laurentiis or someone similar to make amazing meals (stealing another page from Kid's playbook here).
5. Marie Curie. We need a brilliant woman on the island!

1. Brian
2. Brian
3. Brian
4. Brian
5. and a box of twinkies...

MacGyver isn't real?!

Hehe, I was almost going to say Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz because she'd be able to wish us home

Well that's because the Wizard of Oz is AWESOME!!

Nothing better than my fiancee & i with the Stray Cats playing my favourite songs...

Darrel Higham with Imelda May, Baskery or KT Tunstall as support should be more than enough ;-)

Alright, I'll take the bait on this one.
My five male choices:
1. William Peterson a.k.a. "Grissom" from C.S.I.
2. Setzer-Bill & I will need music for our eternity together
3. Rickabilly & his thousands of CD's (ok---technically I think we just want the CD's for our solar powered mp3, but Rickabilly is the owner, so I suppose it's a set). Setzer will need an occasional break so Bill & I will need music to set the mood when Setzer is resting. Thoughtful....aren't I?
4. Tom Hanks--I'll want someone who makes me laugh.
5. Sean Connery---have you HEARD that English accent? Sigh.....

My five female choices:
1. My best friend, whom I've known since 2nd grade. She has a doctorate in biology, so she could help us "live off the land." Teach us which bugs & plants to eat.
2. My grandmother. She became widowed during the Depression and raised 3 children on her own. She's been a source of strength for me my entire life, and I miss her dearly.
3. Rachel Ray--it's my fantasy and I have NO intention of cooking! Wait a minute....she's prettier than I am. Nope, scratch that, Julia Child! My fantasy, remember??
4. Christa McAuliffe--she was such a brave person. Would love to have been able to tell her what a great inspiration she was for women, and what an amazing path she walked back in 1986.
5. my niece---she's young, and I don't have any daughters, and there's so much I have to teach her about the world. she's also very resourceful, so I have no doubt she'd be effective in getting us off the island.

Now that I have the irrational fear of air/water travel....off to bed!

next day: After a few good hours of slumber & some hot coffee, I realized while showering Sir Connery is of Scottish decent...not English. My brain is old, and sometimes data files get mixed up. My apologies....I knew better than that!
