This is so dificult, to pick only one, but it is a really interesitng proposal i think it shows alot about who you are, well I guess I would choose

m) an endless supply of blank paper and endless supply of pencils (or a typewriter)

but let me at least tell you my second choice, which was almost the winner in this contest.

z) a basketball and hoop

Later on I guess you should tell us your choice.
By the way I really enjoy this fantasy game, it is fun and nice.

- when you are alone, there is a vast emptiness... nothing can fill it up like writing...

- all the books would end some day... but when you write, it never ends...

- you are the one who create the world there...

- you have always someone to talk to... dialog...

- you will never end... even when you die... perhaps one day someone will be trapped there on the island like you... and s/he finds your writings... and you live through her/him...



funny... i was on a desert island... writing a very long letter... when i noticed your questionnaire coming to me in a bottle...
:)

love this kind of game... desert island games have been my favorite since my childhood... all the time i thought of a situation on a desert island... and then decided what should i do...
later i used them to decide how much i can trust people or love them...

thanks as ever to both...

hb,
great to have such a long communication from you

TC said...

Tim,

I'd go for

l)
q)
and
s)

I hate to be like a big-eyed kid before Christmas, but what the heck, please throw in

t)
and
w)
too.


Once upon a time, before I became an ancient cripple, I'd have picked
z)
hands down... and for that matter, if the game were two-on-two, with you and me and Mariana and HB, and no scorekeeping, I'd throw away my inhibitions and aches and pains and take that one as my eternal choice.
