Okay my mind never tires of these, "You're stranded on a desert island and you get one...." type scenarios. Most of you probably hate them. But here goes...
You're stranded on a temperate island. Averages 70-80 degrees. By the gift of God or magic, you are able to keep one large trunk with the following choices:
1. An adequate supply of one pipe tobacco to smoke frequently.

2. One pipe that you currently own (don't worry, you get free pipe cleaners)

3. One alcoholic beverage to savor on special occasions

4. One book/book series (other than the bible since even I'd name that first)

5. One small item for a hobby or entertainment (i.e. musical instrument, cards).

6. One non-perishable food item to open to celebrate your first year of survival.
I'd choose:
1. McClelland Christmas Cheer

2. Savinelli Punto Oro Mister G

3. A decent scotch

4. Harry Potter series (somehow that felt less nerdy than LOTR but now I don't know...)

5. A recorder- decently easy to play, require almost no maintenance, not much to break or wear out.

6. Something sweet like Hostess Cupcakes

1. Low Country Black or Butera Pelican (hard choice)

2. Ryan Alden strawberry wood billiard (easy choice)

3. MacAllan 30 whisky (really easy)

4. Either the Discworld series or the Harry Dresden series (hard choice)

5. I suppose my tuba doesn't count as small so I would take my Ibanez accoustic since electronics are out (If I have to...)

Hey Peck, Kate is already on my island, see above! :D
We've been talking all morning about the 13 inning Baseball game last night between LSU(8) and Ole Miss(10). She was so nervous about the game's outcome she had to constantly adjust her grass skirt. :wink:
But, if you have to have her, I'll trade het for one of those custom pipes of yours and let Alexandria Daddario take her place.
