FREEZE, DEAR FREEZE... Do not worry girl! You are the MAIN WOMAN in charge of ALL ALCOHOL. And with your shipboard training... very very valuable. With your vast skills there will always be work for you to do... from lighting the fires (can you do that with the rubbing sticks thing?) to evening entertainment round the fire.... song and dance routines, keeping everyone under control when they had too much to drink. Also the first aid is very very hand, cause I got an idea no sane doctor is going to volunteer for this jaunt! There's no gold plated golf clubs for an incentive, and we not going to be dealing in money.... currency will be Cowrie Shells.
FUNOLDIE.... Sure you can come too.... we will be needing Certified People, specially ones with your skills! Needless to say, that isolated lifestyle will drive some people a little bit nuts, and then you can be in charge of them..... You will however be required to construct your own lunatic asylum in which to house them, and their care will be entirely in your hands.... We also reccommend that you live in your DIY loony bin, so as to not encroach on land that can be used for more constructive use.
MALTESEKEN.... Unless you can brew the alcohol.... there aint gonna be a bar to tend..... So if you can get hold of some recipe books on the subject, like brewing bananas, or pineapples, or mangos, then you IN fellow! Maybe you and Freeze can be in charge of ALCOHOL?
KONIGSBERG... yes you are accepted. Able to catch fish barehanded is a far superior skill than any offered so far. And your knowledge of edible herbs will be invaluable. Climbing trees? Guess maybe that could be useful, if we need to raid the bird nests. Oh yes, there is one field that will be most useful for..... I once heard of an ingenious way to harvest birds for eating. When the chicks hatch, you climb up under the nest, and tie a string to each ones foot. The mother continues feeding them till they leave the nest... and with their foot tied to the branch under the nest.... they NEVER going to leave the nest... SO, we got a caretaker to feed our future food, till its required. THEN .. when we need roast bird... you climb the trees and fetch a bird!
ZEUS... Good, we will need snorkelers to catch fish. Building huts is good too. Also the First Aid is good. If we lucky enough to acquire a qualified Doctor, you will still come in handy, to do the minor treatments.
Doubt very much we would need to keep the "race" or "tribe" going though... we dont plan to spend the next 100 years there! But should we never be rescued..... yeah, reckon that skill could be put to some sort of use.
Storytellers we will need. With no television or radio, we will need entertainment.
Unless you are specifically trained in the arts of Witch-doctoring, we dont see any need to scare the bad spirits away... there should'nt be any.... we not going to have any politicians on this island.
KHAFFASH.... Of course we are serious about this! We need your skills input so as to finalise who exactly will be comming on this expedition of survival. We cannot wait for your entire CV. Thanking you in anticipation of hearing from you again..
No way.. its stupid to be shy, because no-one but yourself knows how you feeling. I wrote a realy long epistle on this subject, and then my finger touched something on the pc and wiped it all out.... just as well, now I dont have to feel embarrassed that it all went into print for you all to see. Somehow I think I got a special Guardian Angel that watches over my stupidity and only allows me to go just so far, and no further.
Yeah, aint you heard|? KK is looking for a Pole? Whether its North, South, or Polish... as long as its a pole. Of course, he could just go and remove that bent old pole hanging from the rafters in Cybas Pub.
Lordy lordy... definitely not! Just plain BIER! Otherwise even the "Derelict Drinking Den" will be destroyed... and then Cybahippyy is going to find us all drinking in some open field somewhere.... with Freeze stationed at a couple planks balanced on old tin cans...serving homebrewed JF!
We are putting together a team of 50 people, to be completely cut off from civilisation for a few years, to be based on an unspecified tropical island, and are looking for diverse skills to enable this community to function.
If you feel you have a skill to offer, apply with a description of how you think what you have to offer will benefit the group.
The island has a good supply of clean water, an abundance of tropical fruit, a good temperate climate, arable land, and a small forest. Participants can only bring what they personally can carry.
No need to pick on Freez's spelling.. its a difficult name to recall the spelling of anyway. And you were able to decipher axactly who she meant .... so its no big deal.
Well, put it this way... they dont have faces... or mouths to scream, or eyes to see the knife blade, or ears to hear the screams of their neighbors (okay I know vegetable life does see and hear and feel these things... but its out of our realm.. so therefore not to concern us... like if we could see spirits and ghosts etc)... So we eat them. We dont eat our dogs and cats and canaries. We eat creatures other people have killed, cut up, packaged and displayed in sterile containers.... Are you representing the legal team for vegetables? What would you suggest we eat then?
Unlike the "war games".... on this one I agree with you two above me here... wholeheartedly. There is just something missing from ones life when one is alone.
Ooooh! This is what I love about the new Derelict Drinkin Den... just SO much fun! Here's another suggestion for next weeks game..... GOLF.. yes, we do the rounds of all the pubs, with our score cards, and however many gulps it takes to drink a bottle of beer is the whatever its called you mark down in golf....starting and ending at the 19th Hole at Cybers, so the lowest score is the winner... huh? can we play that next week? I dont think we should have any more pole dancing or mud wrestling... its getting too messy in there... so the more time we spend outside the better, maybe.
Love and the Perfect match..... that is something we all searching for...? and hoping to find... somewhere, some time. Sometimes you think you found it, but it was an illusion, just another mirage in the desert of disloyalty and fickleness. Is loyalty and honor something that has been bred out of people? Is life moving too fast, that love has become like a fast-food product?... a drive-thru convenience store? The slightest hiccup in a relationship, and the declarations that were fervently declared yesterday are forgotten? But we still search relentlessly.. maybe because we are designed to do that?
I think that females generally are mostly looking for a loyal person? This seems to vibrate gently thru most threads on the subject.... but perhaps its a trait that has been bred out of men?
