I figure if we can have, Damn this doper is hot threads, who’s your doper soulmate? threads and the like. why not this?
You’re on an island, you find enough food to keep 3 people alive for a long time (you dont have to worry about eating anyone).
Which dopers would you choose? Cecil is out because he is above the classification of doper, he is the perfect master.
Who would you choose, why?
I cant think of who I would choose yet, but I’m thinking.

I’d stick with **Airman Doors** and **Bomb Bay Doors** (aka Aaron). I know we all get along, and Bomb Bay needs someone to change his diapers. He gets cranky when he’s not changed.

Definitely **NoClueBoy** because I enjoy him (and messing with him) so much; and I guess the other would be either **VDarlin** or **tarragon918** , because we have a few things in common, as I recall.

Probably **Scott\_evil** and **Eonwe** … Both cool dopers.

**Diane** and **Zette**.
Those two would keep me in stitches, they’re effn hilarious and quite resourceful.

Who ever says the least and won’t kill me in my sleep.
Having said that, I know of one but won’t write her name down for fear of being slapped. The other I am thinking would be \*\* Mighty\_Girl \*\*. Just because of her thread in the pit on being lied to.
Even though I think she would kill me in my sleep if I screwed up.
Being new, I would have a better idea after the Houston DopeFest in February…

Damn, only two?
Well, I would have to say **Vivagirliewagesoffear** and **Kn(Idon’t eat much, really)ckers** because they are both female and I am male. Also,we seem to have similar interests.
But, if we could bring more… **FlammeX** for sure. Sure, she talks alot, but it’s usually on topic and of some value. **ShirlyUjest** because of the petite redhead factor. **Polycarp** because we need to have some sort of calm reasonableness among us. And **CalMeacham** so he could figure out a way off of this island and back to cyberlife.
A movie star… And the rest… Are here on **Flowerchilds** Isle!

I must be losing my mind.
**MY NAME ?** is mentioned in one of these pithy little popularity contests within the first few posts… I\*never \* get mentioned until page 5,346, after I \*whine \* about being forgotten:::::boo…hooo…sniff…sniff…blah blah blah…
Obviously, \*\*NoClueBoy \*\* is on drugs.
More crack, sir? 😃

I don’t consider anyone here to be a soulmate, but I would choose **Diogenes and Polycarp.**
But then, there’s also Tris…and Libertarian…and…

jazzmine and . . .? Ginger of the North? I’d definitely want a Canadian over a city person.

OF COURSE, Ginger of the North. What was I thinking? I’ve always been a “Ginger” in the whole, “Ginger versus Marianne” debate.

I’d go with Tomndeb, because he was a sailor, and might actually know how to put together a boat and get us off the friggin’ island!

Sailor so he could get to work on that raft, and let’s see… I’d want a youngish, non-smoking, drug free, big, heavy doper who doesn’t work out much just for the … uh…companionship because tubby people are jolly. Yeah jolly, that’s it. And glasses, they’d have to wear glasses I cold use as a lens to start fires for cooking fish we’d catch and umm… other stuff.

Probably **SPOOFE** and **Fenris** , one of the two most entertaining posters.

**Tars Tarkas** is one of my favorites here. I’d want him for the conversation.
And… uh… I really don’t know on the other. Preferably a woman but I can’t think of anyone else… I’m still trying to sort everyone out.

Are we going to be having sex with these people? Just checking before I pick, makes a difference you know.

I would pick, but I can’t pick just two and even if I had to, I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.

Hey, are you saying that talking a lot is BAD? Well, I guess it could be. In real life, though… I don’t talk that much. (well, it depends) But thanks, **NoClueBoy**. 🙂
I don’t think I can pick just two. Yes, I have one that I know I’d miss (insane humor, anyone? 😃 ), but narrowing it down to just two seems… like a task I cannot do at the moment. (or ever) So many intelligent, humorous people on these boards…

I hate to blow my own horn, but if this were really an option I should be on the list.
I may not be: Sexy, glib, overly intelligent, entertaining, a good conversationalist etc. But I did spend two years in the Peace Corps on a tropical island a mile long by 70 yards wide and I can keep you alive, dry, housed, reasonably comfortable and clothed until you get rescued (if you are attractive and female, maybe I was a little hasty on the clothed part).
