In 5 years I will be dropped in the middle of an island and told to survive

**BENESSE** · 12-28-2012, 12:02 AM

TheUnknownPoet is yanking everyone's chain...making $hit up as he goes along, and pretty sophomoric, too. (or is it moronic?)
Now, we generally we catch this early on, but it's slow around here, what with the holidays and all so I can see how a "live one" can get people going.

I was wondering the same thing until I got a headache from trying to figure out what kind of crack that dude was smoking.

Looks to me like he's nothing but a smart ***. A few people have been actually trying to figure him out so they can help and uhm.... yeah...

I think he's been sniffing glue, just from the way he sounds. LSD is is a little more thought out.

It's called a "fruitcake toss".

The OP is a fruitcake and everyone is tossing it around and giggling like little girls.

It is much the same as a "troll toss" only a troll toss has less giggling.

Usually, with a troll toss, the insults have come out by page three and someone has been banned.

I think he's getting a bit upset at all of the ribbing. We're not taking him seriously. Really? We're supposed to take a self-confessed drug-induced fantasy seriously? How does that work?

He doesn't have to worry about being dropped on an island. I drop kicked him through the goal posts of life. Not much of a survivor that one.

**jaydentor** · 12-28-2012, 01:26 AM

Lol. I've missed you guys.

Let's see now, where did I put that violin? Does anyone know the words to that great Oldie: "Just a Matter of Time?"

Rick: In have enjoyed reading some of your posts and sharing information, I hope in a respecful and courteous way, with other people here.

I hope you enjoyed your stay on Swains Island. While I never made it there myself, I have met a few people from there. They tell me that the fishing is great and that even a "papalagi" (white man) can learn to survive there if he is willing to listen and learn. You probably had a lot of opportunity to husk coconuts with a "mele'i" (sharpened wooden stake) and to use your "sapelu" (bush knife or machete) to clear brush, cut palm fronds, and collect firewood. Perhaps you had a chance to learn about starting a fire using the Polynesian fire plow method. You can then make the "umu" (oven using hot stones) to bake taro, bananas and breadfrui. I know little about wearing the famous hong, but you know that the "ie lavalava" (wraparound or sarong) is comfortable to wear.

Boredom could be a problem, but a wise person will bring to Swains Island his "Tusi Paia" (Samoan language Bible), a copy of Milner's Samoan-English Dictionary, and perhaps Proverbial Expressions of the Samoans. Those three books will be a good way to pass the time and and improve Samoan language skills.

I hope the person asking about tropical island survival will remember that some peoples actually do live there and have done so successfully for thousands of years. I am fortunate to have lived in both Western Samoa and American Samoa. Although no place is perfect, Samoa is a decent place with people who are generally kind and helpful.

Man we sure get some doozies around here

**crashdive123** · 12-28-2012, 07:27 AM

Just a young man that hasn't quite grown up yet.

**ClayPick** · 12-28-2012, 07:53 AM

Well that went from amusing to arsinine quick. The ironic thing is, with a little show of common sense he had the chance even if it is a little out of his temperature range.

Hey, I thought only Jesus did that.
I am in awe!

Ahhh yes, an Island! I recall back when I was selling insurance I qualified for a convention that took place on an island...Honolulu! They put us up in really nice rooms at the Hawaiian Hilton Village where Don Ho lived and performed! Now that was survival....those prices were ridiculous!

Is that an opinion???? You know that Rick charges for those right?

**Desert Rat!** · 12-28-2012, 01:14 PM

To bad he's gone I wanted to hear what he was going to buy with the $100,000.00!

I seem to recall a country song: "Drop kick me, Jesus, through the goal posts of life." So no, it's not an opinion, it's a fact.
Jesus is gonna be mighty surprised to find out Rick's threading on his turf.

**crashdive123** · 12-28-2012, 05:19 PM

I'm familiar with it, I think Rick gives Him a discount for his opinions.

Yeah but Rick's "special," that's why he gets the "Holy Hong!"
