Desert Island

Gailh · #1 12-19-2004, 06:51 AM

I'm sure we've discussed this before but if you were stranded on a desert island which member of the band (past or present) would you want to be stranded with you and why?

I would choose John because he would be a good laugh and I think he would be very practical in terms of building a shelter, looking for food etc.

Christine would also be a good choice for the same reasons but I think John would be physically stronger and able to protect me from wild animals etc.

Mick would be quite good because he is so tall but I fear Lindsey and Stevie would be hopeless. Stevie would be good fun but I think I would have to do all the work and Lindsey would probably just whine that he hadn't got his guitar with him or something.

Any thoughts?

i would have 2 pick stevie tho, even if she wasn't good @ finding/building shelter or finding food & such, i would risk mayb not lasting as long if i picked another more useful bandmember, just 2 sit & chat w/ the enchanted one

Are you sure about that? John's short, too, so he wouldn't be very good at gathering. Christine and I could make coconut and banana wine, scratch Mick's name on the side of the decanter for a laugh, get lit, and retire to our cave.

Hey, a fella can dream.....

I'd have to take Mick just because he's so tall he could reach coconuts with ease. Not to mention that he'd be able to make music the easiest since he's a drummer. Just find a few rocks and we'd be jammin' like it's after a Survivor reward challenge.

I'd take Stevie. With only two people on the island, it would be important to have someone there to keep the conversation going, and I'm sure there would never be a quiet moment. Besides, being around that much ocean/desert, I'm sure she would be able to knock out a few thousand extra songs from all the inspiration. Plus, platforms could be used as hammers for building shelter and for bashing wild game over the head for dinner. Chiffon = fishnet. And all the big flashy jewelry could be used to signal rescue planes, or start a fire if we got the angle to the sun just right.

I'd never take Lindsey. I'd be at the hut trying to make coconuts and grub worms different, and he'd be lying around practicing the guitar!!!

Yes John is kind of short but I think he said something in his Q&A about wood working or something like that so he would probably be able to build a shelter. He can probably catch fish as well. If he caught them I could bash 'em over the head and then he'd have to do the messy bit but I could cook them (if he'd made a fire that is)

Actually I don't think I'd be all that much use on this island!

Stevie would be helpless. Mick would drive me nuts with all his talking. John would be too quiet. Christine would be tough and dependable. But, I think Lindsey is the only one I'd want to have sex with, so he wins. I can gather food, kill animals, and build stuff by myself. Then again, that Billy Burnette was kind of cute too.

however, i would pick Lindsey.

See Sparky's reason above.

this is really stupid -
but i'd have to vote for Lindsey and Chris because they'd be able to have a conversation about something other than Fleetwood Mac (or themselves).

Lala · #11 12-19-2004, 02:54 PM

My gosh I don't think I'd want to be with any of them. I can't see any of them being of much use on a desert island. If I had to pick it would probably be Stevie but I'd make her sing to me all the time. Hey, I'd settle for an Ipod with all of my FM stuff on it!

WelshWitchPMD · #12 12-19-2004, 03:09 PM

I think while Lindsey would whine a lot I still would pick him. It might get cold at night and I would rather cuddle with Lindsey to keep me warm.

Who knows maybe we could find a practical use for his hair.

Sparky has the right idea.

Stevie would be useless and work my nerves after awhile, I think. It would be cool at first, tho, oh, and no romance. Mick, like John said, talks too much for my liking, so no. John would be cool to have around, but he's more like an uncle figure, so no romance there. LOL!! Christine would be fun too, we could have some great girl talk or something and she has a great sense of humour, again tho...no romance. Jeremy would be a great choice, if it were like 1969 or something. I'm not into cults, thank you. LOL Peter,

, before the LSD took over, sure.

Danny, sweet, shy, Danny...from what the rest of FM members say about him, I don't think he'd be fun to be around.

Bob Welch would be cool, but yeah, no romance. Bob Weston was a cutie back in the day, and I think he's not bad today...so he's a maybe. Don't know much about him, except if there's another gal on the island, he would cheat on me. LOL Rick Vito and Billy Burnette, don't know much about them, but I'm sure they'd be nice to be around. Bekka, nice gal, I'm sure, no romance.

My choice: Lindsey.

He's hot and he'd keep me entertained by finding various stuff on the island to use on his record...when we finally got rescued, even tho I'd try everything in my power to make that NOT happen.
