...sets up signal fires

... completes first batch of insect repellent...

... stockpiles ripe coconuts and plantain

...checks for fish in tide pools to have for lunch ...cooked with verdes in plantain leaves with coconut ... and washed down with coconut water. Save the coconut shells for cups and the husks dried make good tinder...

... uses vines to help climb a tree and then secure to a branch for the first night...

Alas, due to low ratings the show was cancelled after declaring Susan the Ultimate Survivor Ecuador. Consequently, there are no funds to fly her back to Florida, much less award her Persol Sungla$$es, which are rather painful to lose or sit upon;~) It *was* good gruesome fun for the whole family before Country Boy was devoured by blood-thirsty Sharks.... And it was intended as a distraction from the Trump USA thread, which is still going 'strong' but holds small promise for ANY survivors or Gouda... Good luck with healing your 'pet' Subaru DL; maybe it's time to leave childish things behind and move to EC to hang with the Grups;~

BREAKING (REAL) NEWS: After Ocean voted DL off The Island, Country Boy, who had been written off as chum, came to his team-mate’s rescue and dragged them both ashore! What a turn of events! ! (And inexplicably, DL choose as his one personal item a Subaru with a blown head!?!) Now we’ve got actual teams: RED, Captained by the Heroic Country Boy, and BLUE, Captained by the Indomitable Ocean:))) Backing up Country is DL and Reem, who hate each other but must work together to win, while Ocean has her trusty pal Hopp at her right hand, and perhaps Sin, who is laying low with a piece of string and a coconut trying to communicate with extra-terrestrials in Vilcabamba;) And here comes Wind Hag (with a broom), Moriarity, and the Red Neck Rough Riders barebackin’ it on Dolphins! (Sorry guys, the Dolphins violate the Rules as per the Original Post/Contest Rules.) However, all the newcomers are allowed one personal item (as defined in said rules). So what’ll it be boyz? A Dull Machete? Sunscreen?? TOILET PAPER??? GAME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post a Reply

00abuse

Well, if I get a personal item, I wanna machete.

...first, get Sue to help cut down some select vines and leaves and small trees...

...build shelter from the wood..

..brew Ayahuasca from the house and leaves..

Sit in shelter and drink the second of the above.. Aya

....then, ..hell, then, I'd probably feel all warm and fuzzy the next day, so I'd go see PA's team.

If Rem helped, we could do things with DL's Subaru ...wonderful things

First, we bash all four side windows out.. just, "shmampksh!"
...and really leave no glass unsmashed

Then.. then we rip the damn seats out.

...rip them, and cut them up with a razor knife.. pulling the batting out and everything.. ..strip em.

THEN we take the steel wire "fence/cage like" structure that makes up the springy little card seats apart, collecting the wire cage stock.
....then, out of each busted out window, make an entrance/no exit, hole at the end of an inward funneling form, 5" in diameter, from the seatcage.

We sink the Subaru in the water.
...we have our badass, 4 wheel drive, FISH Trap

So, we get KevM45 to moderate the deal between Country Boy and. The Moderator.. over the PPPP issues, that naturally arise, when opposing teams attempt to co - own any seafood related industry together. ...a recipe for disaster, I say. I've seen it up and down the river over years.

...madness...

..anyway.. PPPP... or..
Procured Pescado Parcelling Problems... or, How to Split Up the Fish)

So.. KM can moderate the terms on how we split the fish. We can work shifts hauling the damn thing up each few days.
DL supplied the Sub..
It was my design..
So if we spit the labor it should be even.

..ok. so now we can reliably eat

Great App that allows you to know where a twitter post comes from, ie from what device.

As most folks know already, the Twitler-in-Chief uses an Android and his staff an iPhone. This allows everyone to follow which @realDonalTrump tweets are really from the twit and which are from staff members.

For example the moving tribute to the late John Glenn, Senator and Astronaut, that was from an iPhone.

The 17 hours of ranting the people of the world were assaulted by yesterday, came straight from the android.

Speaking of which... don´t you love the response from El Presidente (frmr) de Mexico Vicente Fox?

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/01/07/former_mexican_president_fox_trolls_trump_on_twitter_are_you_a_legitimate.html

"Fox started out by talking about one issue that unites pretty much all Mexicans: the wall. As he has said before, Fox wrote that “I am not paying for that f*cken wall” and called on Trump to “be clear with US tax payers.”

Fox added in another tweet that “Trump may ask whoever he wants” but there was no way Mexico would “pay for his racist monument.”

So far, Fox was just repeating the message he has been uttering for months. But then, for his final tweet, Fox hit Trump with the latest intelligence report about how Russia worked to help get him elected and combined that with one of his favorite topics: Trump’s loss of the popular vote. “Sr Trump,the intelligence report is devastating,” he wrote. “Losing election by more than 3M votes and in addition this. Are you a legitimate president?”

@ Ocean - as per my point, no one quite understands the first-time-in-all-of-history power that this particular 'push' technology affords an international celebrity who also happens to be the 'Leader of the Free World'. And relative to that significance, ALL details are meaningless. Economy + repetition + scale = IMPACT. And my numbers were no exageration: somewhere between 500 mil and a Billion people (half the planet) do or will own cell-phones during the next four years, and whatever the Prez of the US has to say they will hear DIRECTLY, for better and worse. As regards staffers' 'influence', Strom Thurmond was on life support for the last 10 years of his tenure in the Senate, which had little impact upon 'his' staunch defense of Truth, Justice and the good people of S. Carolina. Trump is not on life support, and he has/will have unheralded access to the hearts and minds of many millions of people. Es Verdad.

And as regards The Wall ("All we are, is just another brick in...") - MX would be absolutely delighted if all the Central Americans who traverse their country headed toward gringo-land were *truly* dis-incentivized. It would be more effective is such deterent stetched from Brownsville to Mazatlan (and by extension the Baja of California), but that would only suggest another major land grab of MX by the US...
