“Stuck on an Island With a Bunch of Queers”

Not really, but does anyone remember Rudy from the first season of Survivor. Me and some buddies used to make fun of him with his Wisoncsin accent saying that his Navy SEAL buddies would have something to say to him about being stuck on an island with a bunch of queers. :)

At any rate, I am hesitant to follow this pattern of naming 10 people who I’d like to have with me if I’m stranded on a deserted island, but since Duncan, Jeremy and now Christina have all named me, I think I need to follow suit – even though there is no way for me to bring everyone who means anything to me on the deserted island – so it’s a skewed opinion poll.

But here goes:

Nicole – My wife, my life, my everything. I almost lost her once. I won’t lose her again, even if it means being stuck on an island.

Darren Rowse – The Rowsemeister. I wouldn’t be where I am today with blogging if it wasn’t for Darren and him giving me the opportunity to blog on his site. Darren would be the guy on the island trying to figure out how to make a buck off of berries and twigs.

Jeremy Wright – Jeremy’s a longtime friend and despite the fact that he likes to hear me grovel and apologize, I refuse to do it anymore. Jeremy has been a friend, a nemesis and a motivator. A superhero all in one, but George Bush remains the Decider! Jeremy would be the guy who would somehow manage to sell the berries and twigs that Darren was brainstorming a business plan on.

Mark Cuban – The ultimate guy. Young and rambuctious with all the business and sports savvy that I want. One day with Mark would mean that I’d make a billion dollars and establish the first professional sports franchise on the island. Mark would be the guy who would buy the berries and twigs and create a shelter from them.

Matt Craven – Matt, for trusting me to be a columnist at Blog Herald and giving me tremendous latitude despite the fact that we are also competitors. The ultimate decent professional. Matt would take the role of the journalist, always telling everyone what everybody else was up to on the island.

Duncan Riley – Duncan, because he is blunt like me, and in a guarded setting like that, I can pass the mantle of being the “Bulldog of b5″. We could chain Duncan to a stake and let him bark away the wild boars and creatures looking to invade the camp. :)

Jeremy Zawodny – Jeremy, well, because he’s Jeremy. No doubt he would be trying to figure out how Yahoo can find us on the island before Google could.

Christina Jones – Christina because we need chicks on the island, and because I would be satisfied in knowing that she would be tirelessly trying to find a way off the island without bugging me every second of the day to tell me things like, “We ran out of wood for the fire, what do you want me to do?” :)

Michael Hampton – Michael would be there because I’ve grown to tremendously respect the guy as an incredibly diverse guy. He can do blogging well. He can do WordPress well. He can criticzie the government well. He’d be hearing the french woman’s voice and tirelessly trying to get everyone to figure out what the significance of it is.

Scott Goldblatt – Scott because he’s a friend of mine and an Olympic swimmer… So we can send him swimming to find help. :)

Thanks mate – i’d love to be stranded with you too (as long as there was an internet connection of course).

Funny how most of the lists like this are from bloggers who name their partners but then almost completely opt to take only guys with them! :-)

You know how it is… it’s like taking Computer Science in university for the Chicks… You’d be looking in the wrong field.
