You could make a poll after you get anwers
who/which person /poster on this board would be able to stay in the middle of nowhere -on a desert island ,like in 'Lost" with who ....

I like the idea SwayStones. Maybe up the ante using a Survivor style format where members can be voted off the board after a series of death defying, online group challenges. Who would be the dude who extinguishes the torch ala Jeff Probst? Gazza?

If stranded on a desert island and left to my own devices, I'd probably just have this playing in my head non-stop.
