Febuary 4th

Say you were stuck on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. A genie grants you two items and one Outlooker. Which items, and which outlooker, would you choose and why?

41 comments:

  1. The answer to this is simple.

    For the items, I choose two diet cokes.
    The outlooker, Mebus.

    Upon arrival at said island, my first course of action would be to show Mebus my diet cokes.
    Then, I would hide the beverages at an undisclosed location, far away from the pesky Mebus.
    I would wait until the first day that extreme thirst set in, retrieve one diet coke, and consume 9/10 of it in front of Mebus. I would pour the other 1/10 on the sand for dramatic effect.
    Mebus, now obviously enraged (not to mention quite parched), would demand the second diet coke.
    The whole purpose would be for me to have a little refreshment, and the satisfaction of watching a frantic, thirsty Mebus stomp around the island in a fit of diet coke-needy rage. All of this would serve to keep me entertained while I obtain a nice, all-over, even tan.......ladies? ;)

  5. The two items I would choose are a box of matches and ten thousand gallons of water.
    Box of matches, because my survival skills are worth nothing.
    Water so that I wouldn't get dehydrated.
    For the outlooker, I would bring Ana so we could use our not-so awesome survival skills together and in our spare time, I could teach her everything I know about writing articles!
    That way, when we get off that god dang island, we would both have shared knowledge in how to write articles :)

  6. I would bring a camera and a reporters notebook (with an attached pen) with me to an island in the Pacific Ocean. With these items I could document my time on the island and learn more about this craft.

    As for who I would bring, I could never choose. I would never choose. I love you all too much to ever make a choice like that. I would bring every one of you so I could enjoy your lovely company and continue to learn from you, as I do every day.

    <3 Gracie

  7. my camera and a 300 mm lens because my camera has the 18-55 right now.
    I would bring Kev so we could use his unusally white flesh to reflect off of the sun and signal the helicopters to save us.

    ReplyDelete
  8. TK, that way he could teach me how to swim like a pro and he's into all that outdoorsy man-shit... I would then bring an airplane and a flight intructer so he can teach me how to fly... or he could just be a partial sorcerer and give me big feathery wings.

  9. i would take two diet cokes(for obvious reason) and kev d'olivo. we would shotgun the diet cokes and turn into island men.

  10. I would have a knife and a buttflap.( to warm my genitals) The knife would be to survive and to impress jon. I could tell him how i survived on an island with nothing but a buttflap, a knife, and Gracie. I choose her because i do not know her well but she is always willing to talk. In addition to that i feel like no matter how hungry i get i will be happy because she is there!

  11. Items: A magic wand &
    a computer with Internet access

    Outlooker: Chris Putman

    Reason: The magic wand would supply the food and shelter and everything else we need to live... because I am magic. And Chris is too. But we don't usually tell people that. The computer is just so Chris could play WoW. He is kind of addicted to it. I like Chris and that is why I would bring him.

  12. First of all I would most definitly need my cell phone because I can't live without it! Second, A book because I love reading and it would pass many hours of boredom. As for an outlooker I would bring Emily because she is amazing and she is the outlooker I know the best!

    ReplyDelete
  13. If I were stuck on an island I would choose to bring Haylee, who else? Together we would come up with an immensely intricate plan to escape, involving a piece of dental floss, and canoe, our items of choice. We would use the floss to clean our teeth after consuming an abundant amount of coconuts, and ever-so-cleverly use the canoe to escape.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Two items- DJ stuff (including music and speakers and power sorce) and Fridge (with unlimited food supplys)
    Outlooker- The sophomore girls or Gracie because they are all smart and Gracie is just an awsome person that can figure out away to get off the island.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I would choose two of the nicest copy editing pens and Nicole Pinto. This is because you all create errors, and we still must fix them regardless of the fact that we are stuck on an island.

    ReplyDelete
  16. A pinwheel, a soccer ball and Naomi

    ReplyDelete
  17. NICOLE IS A BLASPHEMER. MY POST MEANT TO SAY POPE LOREN M. JOHNSON JR.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I would take a box of bunny crackers and a bag of cherries. If I'm going to die, I should at least be able to eat something delicious while I'm waiting.

    For an Outlooker, I would take Sarah.
    Because you can't eat bunny crackers without Sarah :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. My two items would be a freaking boat and a dingy. My Outlooker would be Travis, because he can swim. When I'm back home and you all are playing cards with Gracie in a tent, we'll see who made the best choices.

  20. This is difficult. I refuse to choose just one person. GOSH! NOT FAIR! I require a list.

    Of course, I’d bring Stephanie-lynn because of my sisterly obligations, but that would quickly devolve into a wretched war in which she would probably eat me and I’d attempt to harness her ability to climb trees. I would be the aristocracy, and she would symbolize the peasants. I would be the slave-owner, she would be the slave. I would be the academic elite; she would be the day laborer.

    I would bring, of course, a giant book which contains all of the Harry Potter series, and a stuffed bear. That way, when I’m afraid for my life, I could immerse myself in the world of magic and other such trivialities while snuggling with my bear.

    However, I’d much rather have a warm body to snuggle up to…

  21. items: a sack of potatoes and a gallon of fresh water.
    outlooker: pinto "O!"

    reasons for...
    POTATOES: a human can survive by eating potatoes for his/her whole entire life (scientifically proven)
    H20: i dont want to dehydrate...
    NICOLE: my ghetto partner. "A!" & "O!"

    ReplyDelete
  22. Item 1: Mary Poppins Bag, really that thing fits everything.


    Item 2: Toiletries. If I have to be stuck on that damn island, I am not getting scurvy! Also, in the toiletrie bag would be Ian - because hey... procreating with any Outlooker? You would all choose Ian Clark. Rawr.

    Outlooker:

    One of these two...
    Skylar Griessel or Nicole Pinto because they're wild women. :)

    Skylar because she could belly dance to the natives and because she is sexy!

    Nicole because she is my better half, the Jekyll to my Hyde, the pica to my spacing.

  23. My two items would be an airplane and a parachute.
    The outlooker i would chose is whichever outlooker that can fly a plane...and wouldnt mind sacraficing the parachute to me if something were to go wrong with the plane

    ;D

    ReplyDelete
  24. I change my mind.
    I still want Ana as my outlooker, but my two wishes would be a ton of water and cruise ship filled with the rest of the outlookers :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Laura is so right! I would probably eat her and let her harness my ability to climb trees like a squirrel or something. She is the academic leader and I am the slave. I can be the peasent(s) because I am strong. ASK GRACIE!!! Laura is a cuddle bear so yeah she will need the warm body.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I would take my basset hound and a spear, so I could hunt wild picas in the wilderness. I would probably take Loren, because he could tell me wich fish are edible. Also, loren has magic powers, so he could transport the rest of the Outlook to the Island. And then we could have a barbecue.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oh, and I would take my girlfriend 'cause she's cute.

    ReplyDelete
  28. A charged satilite phone and a perfect baseball-sized diamond

    Chris Putnam

    I would make a call to arrange our transportation home.
    The perfect baseball-sized diamond to fund my trip home and the rest of my life. Many outlookers would recieve a cut of the money I would get from the diamond and my Dad would be happy because he could retire. The outlook would be all color and 1/4 the adds. I would have all the camera gear I could want and I would go on many advetures with my friends.

  29. So I probably shouldn't reply to my own post. Whatever.
    My Outlooker of choice would have to be Naomi because she makes all of my burdens bearable. And since being stuck on an island is kind of a burden, she'd come in handy.

    I'd need my ninja stick and monkey fist too.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I would pick Riley, so we would never run out of diet coke. Also, I would bring two yard sticks, and we would have an epic dual till forever. Food? When Riley or I hacked off one of our limbs, we would roast it in the Pacific sun with some pineapple and have a grand ol' feast, until we bled to death. Then we would write our saga on palm tree leaves and set them in the ocean in empty diet coke can, so that the whole world would know our tale.

    ReplyDelete
  31. then again I just might just scoop up the entire outlook room in an effort of love and strand us all together for a paste-up of island+beach frolicing. then everyone would come together at the same island and we would get all of the cruise ships and jounalism utensils. and when we get fed up of each other we can all go home

    I like this idea better

    ReplyDelete
  32. Alright, I change my mind. I'm bringing Jenna because I can swim faster than her and I do not want to be eaten if my boat and dingy sink.
    Plus, if there are no sharks she is wonderful company. (: I love me some Jenna.

    ReplyDelete
  33. And NO Travis, I do not think of my girlfriend as an object. I respect her as an individual. And she's real cute.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I changed my mind. If stranded on an island i would bring Raquel. Then I would bring sleeping pills and a microwave. I would use the sleeping pills to drug Raquel into a long sleep so I could surgically remove her braces and use to sharpen a stick in case of war against the human-eating monkeys. Then I would use my survivor man skills and conquer the island, unlike the people on lost. After I would transform the microwave into radio, radioing people to ship me my Teen vogue magazines. Ending my day I will lie on my cocoanut trees leaves and tan the day away. =]

  35. Actually, if Sky and Nicole are spoken for - I pick Tyler.

    He doesn't sass me like the rest of you do.

    ReplyDelete
  36. If I was stuck on an island I would most deffinatly pick the one and only Amanda Helenberg to be with me. She always speaks positive and I won't have to worry for too long. However, after several days I assume I will begin to wonder what will happen to us. So Amanda and I will search the entire island for any sign of humans. Along the way we may run into a few situations which we are lucky to have even survived through, but of course we will.
    Amanda and I will have walked around the entire island and not find a single clue of humans, but once we get back to the very place we started we will notice a ship on shore! Of course we forgot we had that with us when the plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean for reasons that are unknown. Also, on our ship we find a cake the size of the poop deck (of course it won't be covered in poop).

    We will make our way back home and everyone on Outlook would be so thrilled to see us alive!

  37. SECOND PLAN-

    Items: 2 rulers.
    Outlooker: Kev

    Me and kev will lay on the beach all day growing out our nipple hairs and measuring them with the rulers periodically.

    THIRD PLAN-

    Items: Holy water, gun
    Outlooker: Ben

    I haven't talked to him much but Ben's hair leads me to believe he can protect me and utilize expert survival strategies on the island.

    Once i have befriended the elusive Ben, I will roam the island, converting all of the natives to Christianity with the holy water. If they refuse to accept Jesus into their lives, I'll shoot them with the gun.

  38. Screw Naomi, I'm taking Angelina.
    She's the only one who could make me crazy enough to actually kill some wild animal and eat it raw. Then we'd snap formations all over our kill. Like a barbaric hunting ritual, spattered in blood and snapping our fingers in circles around a piece of pink bloody meat.
    Yum.

  39. I say this is terrible. I'm not dumb enough to get stuck on an island. I can't really answer but I'll try...my two things would be a pillow and a book (islands provide well for their animals, so I assume I could survive with that)I couldn't imagine choosing... that's ridiculous. Instead I'd bring you all for your qualities:

    Hannah- because she's my little drop of sunshine on the cloudiest of days and is hairy and she knows me rather well so if I got annoyed she'd see it coming and hide before I even thought about cannibalism.
    Sarah- because she says bunny and is one of the most admirable persons I know (: she is always herself... no matter how strange
    Loren- I love and hate you. Therefore, we'd get along smashing.
    Amanda- bahahaha ha ha. Need I say more? Oh yeah! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ha ha ha.
    Jenna- Your free spirit and sass would make me forget about the island and let me just dance.
    Chris- Putnam. I don't need to say anymore.
    Micaela- Your taste in music and your smile would make me think the world was there with us. Why would it matter that we were deserted on an island right?
    Alex- haha I love the things you say. We could talk about girls and sports... even though I don't much like either, we could.
    Emily- well... we'd have a lot of time so maybe I could just soak up all your artsy knowledge (: your graphics are brilliant and I'd enjoy getting to know you better.
    Gracie- because your so understanding and sweet... I'd want to get stuck on an island with you.
    Kev- everyone picks on you because they're jealous, let me tell you why... if we ever get stuck on an island.
    Lance- I'll fly on a jet pack... and we could sneak a frisbee in (gasp Nicole, a third item.) and play frisbee ON JET PACKS!
    Laura- Lordy lord. We could just talk... for hours... :D and days, months however long it takes Nicole to decide to take us off said island.
    Nicole- your so strong, I count on you (maybe a little too much) and lean on you... your always there and I know that if we were on an island, we'd both just become barbarians and like it.
    Riley- I like sitting next to you at paste-up (: we could just drink diet coke and talk about U2.. I know nothing on the subject and would love to learn.
    Skylar- :D your just damn cute. We could rock that island.
    Stephanie- I'm sure we'd just dance around to our scary rap music and act like the true g's we are :D
    Travis- I disappointed you at paste-up. I'm quiet aware... I'd probably spend the whole time on the island saying sorry.
    Stephanie- YOUR my cute associate! I'd teach you indesign and you'd tell me more crazy theories. For such a young age you seem so confident in your ways and I envy that, tremendously.
    Haylee- your the BEST PR manager Outlooks ever seen. You made my PRing look like a joke ten minutes into the job. Lets converse. :) and make thank you cards? I like doing that for you.
    Raquel- I don't know you that well and gosh darn it I want to! Let's build leave hammocks and talk, about anything.
    Nick- My man marky mark. Hot damn. :D
    Angelina- Girrrrrrl you and I would just talk about our favorite subject... BOYS :) and RAP... cause that's MY JAM.
    Naomi- I love when you get in my face and act like your going to insult me... and then say something all sweeet :) so on our island, please repeat!
    Xandra- I'd love to get to know you. Let's do that.
    Ian- haha we basically already have a plan, let's make that NEWSSSSSSSSSSSSSpaper :)
    Amanda- we could build a map of washington, then plot out all the counties and their county seats, then mrs. miles would come pick us up in an indan canoe and we'd have to answer questions to get to paddle for a yard.. we could make it back to land right? Let's see.. what congressional district do we live in?
    Lennon- Sparkling apple cider, chips ahoy chewy cookies and all these things that I have done. DUH :)
    Rachel- All I know is that your reliable? So maybe your the Outlooker that everyone SHOULD bring :) I bet. That's the best choice. NICOLE I choose Rachel.
    Ana- I don't know you very well... but I'm sure you'll fit in beautifully. Let's get to know each other on our island :D
    Ben- Your on my staff :) I want to know you well. BONDAGE. no no not like the nasty kind. I mean BONDING TIME!!
    Ms. Cowely- I love talking to you. Your an incredible advisor. SO if we get stuck on Nicoles island, please advise me :)

    So Nicole, my answer is this. I'd bring every Outlooker because even though I don't know them all so well, they are all important AND they all have something unique to offer. SUCK E.I.C. nobody's going to your stupid island alone :D :D
