Just Sit Right Back and You'll Hear a Tale...
I've just been tagged by the Desert Island meme.
Skeet chose me as one of five blogger companions to be stranded on a desert island with. Unfortunately, I assume I can't choose Skeet to be one of mine… pity, there's a gal who knows how to get rid of bugs. And I'm thinking that deserted islands probably have bugs. Me no like bugs. Though Skeet did say that she would try to get the island wired and cabled so me so I could keep up with Battlestar Galactica. Now there's an idea that works for me. So who will I select to keep me company on my deserted island with satellite hook up?
1. Kat — I don't know if Kat does the meme thing, but I think every community needs to have someone who can keep things real. And nobody keeps things real as well as Kat does. Then there's the added sarcasm bonus. Life without a hefty dash of sarcasm is just plain dull. I don't much like dull.
2. Brett — Do you know why they don't send donkeys to college? Because nobody likes a smarta$$. Unless they're actually funny… which Brett happens to be. And if I'm gonna be stranded on a desert island, I'd better have someone who can make me laugh so hard that I spurt coconut milk through my nose. I don't know if Brett's a memer either (is that even a word?), but I'm taggin' him anyway.
3. Patrick — If we're gonna be on a deserted island, I assume there will be a lot of cooking by campfire. And I definitely want ghost stories around that campfire, so Patrick's the man for that.
4. Robyn — And speaking of cooking, I think it would be smart to invite along someone with a blog full of yummy recipes. (You should see her oh-so-easy mud pie recipe… my mouth is watering just thinking about it.)
5. Terry — I figure anyone who celebrates Alfred Hitchcock Day must be the kind of grrl I can have a good ole pop culture conversation with. And if we're stranded there for a year, that'll be a must. Pop culture stuff is oxygen to me.
As Skeet did before me, I'm promising solar-powered laptops with coconut-wireless connections to my fellow castaways. I mean, we ARE bloggers after all. I might be able to live without my Tim Horton's coffee (oooh… bad example… okay, Timmie's will be air dropping coffee onto the island, too)… let me try this again: I might be able to live without my car, but not my computer.

I've looked up the definition, but still do not know how a meme works.
I apologize but it appears that you have invited a virginal meme to your island, so I may be more valuable as a sacrifice to the volcano gods . . .

Heh! Insteresting how differently our minds work, isn't it? I picked for survival skills first,then a little fun and brain food. you've got one gal with recipes & everyone else for play, lol! You gonna starve, but at least you'll die laughing. ;0)
Brett, while a "virgin" sacrifice may have its uses, I can help you "lose your virginity" if you like. Your mission--should you choose to accept it--is to pick 5 bloggers that you would choose to be stranded on a desert island with, blog about why, and inform the people that you picked.
And as skeet pointed out, you can make your choices for different reasons. Apparently I've opted for the live-fast-die-young desert island approach. I guess I wouldn't last long on "Survivor." LOL

Hitchcock is pretty "old" pop culture. I could not give two figs about what passes for new pop culture (if it's blonde, gyrates, and considers lingerie appropriate attire, then I refuse to read or talk about it). So you might want to reconsider me.
HOWEVER! I would make a pretty good therapist, and I guess after some time on the island we might need an Ann Landers to keep everyone in line, especially if we lose computer access for any period of time.

Funny you should say "old" pop culture. This film studies class I took recently used films that were a minimum of a decade old or more and I knew all of the films well. All of my younger classsmates thought I was SOOO knowledgeable about movies. And I was thinking: yeah... those movies. Ask me about what's out there today (or what's on the radio, for that matter) and I'm clueless.
But I would certainly welcome your therapists abilities. I hadn't thought of what might happen if we lost satellite or internet for any length of time... horrors!
