You're trapped on a deserted island...
having survived a shipwreck. The maelstrom devoured your vessel, and you floated atop an empty barrel for at least a day, bobbling toward the shore at sunset. All you possess are your ragged clothes, a rusted pocket knife, and knickers full of sea salt. Ashore you find little vegetation, at least nothing that appears edible.

You know you must either find a way to survive the island, or you must fashion a means of escape, risking the torrential waves in an effort to return to civilization.

In the distance, on the outer edge of the beach near a cove, you see two figures! They're waving frantically in your direction. Your feet amble through the sand as you approach them, a hint of hope swelling in your belly...

Which DU'ers would you most want to see at the end of the beach, and why???


:popcorn:

4. My picks
puerco-bellies : I imagine the dude is good at the survival stuff.
crim son : she could use a vacation and I would need a drinking buddy if puerco-bellies can figure out how to make something with alcohol.

7. Any two DU-ers who were heterosexual females close to my own age.
I mean, let's face it: I'm on a desert island; the primal physical drives will take precedence over smooth civilized concerns. :hide:

16. I'd take just about any two as long as they were either:
edible
sexy
good at figuring out the whole food and shelter in the wild thing
unwilling to resort to cannibalism

Or any combination of the above. :)
