Your own little island

[Cimbri]

If I was rescued I would use my experience to create a screensaver...

Edit: Spell check

I'd name my island "Mojotronicaland," elect myself President, and start writing hundreds of messages for "message in a bottling" purposes.

Then one after the other I would cast my bottles into sea. Rather than requesting help, the messages would pose philosophical questions, some intended to be silly, some intended to be serious. Then I would wait for responses to drift in.

Hmm.

I would be fine until the tree started making sarcastic remarks about how much weight I had lost and then I would be forced to cut it down using my teeth. This would destroy one one source of food, resulting in my slow death. But i would have the moral victory :vampire:

I would wake up and get ready for school.

or maybe it was once a large island with many trees, and was slowly erroded away until it was just the one tree

Or maybe the tree is actually a secret nuclear missile painted like a tree, placed on a tiny 9 sq. m. isle, in the middle of nowhere. If that was it, my plans of world domination need not cease.

First, I'd use my teeth and nails to carve the tree into a shovel. Then I'd use the shovel to dig into the island. I'd keep on digging for a while, eventually creating a large cave in the mountain that peaks above the water to form the island. In the mountain I'd most likely discover nuclear warheads and a nuclear missle launcher (you always find those in underwater mountains). I'd take a missle out and bring it back to the top of the island. Then American forces would detect me with my nuclear arms. They'd try to force me into exile (even though you can't get much more exiled than on a 10x10 sq. ft. desert island), but I'd knock them out with my shovel (forgetting about the nuclear warheads). I'd also steal a communication device (preferably one of those cell-phones with games on it, and a walkey-talkey, of course [life's better when your cell-phone has a walkey-talkey]). I'd use it to call all my friends to come over to my island. I'd then steal their boat and ride off to shore.

It's so simple, really.

In my post I explained the TREE as the missile.

I believe you said *maybe*. As I was gnawing on the three with my teeth and nails, I discovered that it is in fact a perfectly normal palm tree.

 

[General Brown]

I'd take it over and build a underground bunker. Then after a year i'd take some cyanicide

 

[Dishwaters]

I'd vote for the tree as President, then spend the next four years complaining about it.

Thats the best one.

Then, as the unsuccessful candidate, you'd claim that YOU invented Presidency, Palm Trees AND Deserted Islands?

I'd climb the tree and growl at passing seagulls, just for kicks, then panic. After three fiddy hours of trying to think of a way to save myself (and doing this: <-- Tree trunk), I'd cut my own arm and go a' shark attractin'... :suicide:
