Desert Island Discs: The Borrowing

[Charger]

Hahah!

But hey...drugs are bad mmmmkay....!

So lets just agree that I really did go fishing...I just suck at it (too) so that's why I got nothing.

[Zzzptm]

Man, I feel like I need to apologize deeply for the actions of the fictional me that scratched the fictional record of JtS'... I'm not joking, I really do feel remorse over such a thing!

Jack, I am sorry. To make up for it, I'll permit new Amazon Prime same-day deliveries to replace broken or damaged records. It's the least I can fictionally do to make things up to you.

[Jack the Stripper]

And I’m sorry for smacking you over the head with my shark club. In hindsight it was probably an overreaction on my behalf but I really couldn’t control myself. Hopefully it’s a wake call to everyone of what can potentially happen if an album comes back to me scratched.

Day 9 - Kilo borrows Paranoid from Jack, and listens to it as he sips some beer. Fairies Wear Boots begins, one of Kilo's favourites he thinks. Ozzy's dulcet tones wail out...

"Going home late last <<Click>>
Suddenly I got a <<Click>>"

... ah crap! Kilo notices blood on the sleeve and realises Zs has already borrowed it!

Charger finds a pretty mermaid... he doesn't mention this to anyone... this may go someway to explain why he didn't catch any fish!

Vyn has made a wind powered generator from bamboo, dodo feathers and hot pants from a box that washed ashore... he could power a light bulb... if we had a light bulb.

Fair dinkum, mate.

Day 23:

The realization that we are actually stranded out on an island is starting to set in.

Thel and Jack spent an entire evening debating the qualities of crunchy Cheetos versus puffy Cheetos. It got heated at times and in the end nothing was solved. There being no Cheetos at hand, and all that.

Z was off communing with nature somewhere, and I was sharpening the end of some reinforced bamboo spears against the grinding wheel I had set up on my wind-powered generator.

Kilo came running into our communal area and exclaimed in a rushed voice that we needed to go help Charger haul in this giant fish he was wrangling with!

With Z trying to find perfect balance, and Thel and Jack way down the Cheeto-hole, I grabbed one of my fish spears and headed out with KDC at a trot.

Alas, we ran upon Charger walking back to the main camp. He had a few fish scales on him, and the glazed look on his face and general dishevelment, he had obvious had quite the struggle. Kilo asked if the fish got away, and by glazed reply Charger shook his head "no". Kilo and I traveled on, but could find no indication of a fish on shore.

I have decided to hold off from borrowing any vinyls from Jack for a while.

[Zzzptm]

Dude, there are trees on the island.

They need hugs.

So do the bushes, but they're a bit trickier, especially the ones where the vipers like to nest. Gotta come at them just *so*...

Day 42 (hat tip to Douglas Adams...)


Zs has decided that we need a fiscal system and suggests that we use leaves as currency. Vyn slaps his forhead and Jack offers his shark club to Vyn. Vyn takes a deep breath and declines the offer.

Jack suddenly understands the meaning of life, but forgets about that when he sees some fish which look strangely like Charger. He scoops them up in a net and deep fries them in batter...yum!

Kilo discovers a bush with some multi-coloured berries. He eats some of them which have a weird effect, the world starts spinning and he spends the rest of the day face down clutching the ground screaming "I'm going to fall off the Earth!"

Charger has found a secluded pool and now spends most of the day having baths, although he would prefer a shower. He spends most of the nights away from camp and strange moaning sounds can be heard from the far side of the island.

Thel realises he has a signal on his phone, and orders an album with next day delivery from Amazon. A drone arrives the next day but it's gone rogue and won't give up the package so Thel throws rocks at it until it's destroyed!

[Zzzptm]

You misunderstand! Not just *any* leaves, but *these* leaves!!! Because they come from a tree of which there is only one of on the island, we won't have to worry about inflation!
