New Game-----"What Would They Use It For?" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

lm · 06-20-2008, 02:00 PM

I would like to start a new, silly game for the summer. It's called "What Would They Use It For?" (I can't think of a better name right now). This is how you play. You pick an item from modern day life and imagine the castaways had it on the island. How would they (or one of them, etc.) use it? Once you answer, suggest a new item. The only catch is that the answer cannot be used for rescue purposes (or that will always be the answer somehow). I'll start:

Post-its

The professor could use them to label his chemicals, etc. in his lab.

A taser.

A new way to deal with pesky headhunters!

A guitar

To help put the Skipper to sleep so he can dream how to convert the radio into a transmitter.

Might be used if Mary Ann's creepy boyfriend ever wrote her a letter in a bottle back.

A chia pet.

The Chia Pett would be used by the Professor to grow a neverending supply of salva hispanica, or "chia" to add omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidents, vitamins, minerals, and fiber to the castaways' diets. Gilligan might protest the harvesting of the "chia" from the Chia Pet, because periodically it would leave his little ram friend without any warm "fur."

Microwave.

as a warm foot stool

a Twister Game

kooky12 · 07-09-2008, 01:37 PM

The guys would give Twister to Ginger & Mary Ann as a gift and then watch the girls play a game for some thrills. As you can imagine, the boys' eyes would pop out as the girls' body parts popped out of their clothes, twisting around, one in tight shorts, the other in a tight dress. Finally the boys would need to run to the lagoon to cool down.

A Hummer (with a full tank of gas).

Turn it into a plane or boat and sail away?
