So, you're stuck on a desert island, á la Lost.

You were riding on a ship with Prince and his entire back catalogue of music (including all the unreleased songs) on board. He was also carrying all his old outfits and every picture of him ever taken.

Sadly, after the pirates sank the ship, Prince drowned. But he did tell you that he loved you just before losing his grip on that door (or whatever it was that you were floating on) and then sinking into the freezing waters. Luckily, you ended up on this glorious beach with many odd characters who later investigated weird sounds in the jungle and encountered many contrived storylines, etc. etc. etc

Despite all the bizarre mysteries, you are allowed some Princely concessions.

So...

1. Which 7 Prince albums would you keep?
2. Which 3 unreleased songs would you rescue from the vault (sorry, that's all you can have)
3. Which Prince outfit would you cling on to for nostalgia's sake?
4. Which Prince pic would you keep by your bed to remind you of him?
5. You suddenly remembered that last bit of advice that you gave him before he let go of that thing you were floating on. What was that advice?

After 3 years and 19 days...


6. The authorities rescue you and ask you to describe the person who had been clinging to your make-shift raft (they found his fore-fingers frozen onto it where you snapped them off) in exactly five words (Why? I don't know). What five words would you use?
7. Once back in the civilised world, it turns out that you are now the sole owner of Prince's entire catalogue of songs. What would you do with them?
8. You're suddenly given three options by the United Nations. Which do you choose? You can only choose one.

a) You must rid the earth of Dirty Mind, 1999 and Sign O The Times. They will never be heard of ever again by anybody.
b) The Vault must be destroyed and when that happens, by the power of Greyskull, all the bootlegs in the world will instantly dissolve along with any mp3 recordings of them. ALL unreleased recordings in everybody's collection will cease to exist.
c) You can revive the 50 year old Prince who will retain all his creativity, but a) and b) will BOTH happen.

9. You arrive back in 2008 and take a look at the Org and realise that threads like this are taking place. How would you react and what would you suggest in order to make sense of it all?

dude.

what.

the.

fuck.

i can't play. if i were stuck on a desert island with bob saget, why then i would have answers for you. but, it's not like that, is it?

Good try. But I don't feel like imagining.

InsatiableCream said:

Exactly!

i'd never do that to bob saget probably not to prince either.

You may well emoticon, but I'm fully aware of your fundly wobs.

Haystack said:

Look here Haystack....words don't have as much power as u think they do...maybe u should study a little less wizardry, and take your imagination into a friendlier place....Our hearts are too light for this weight.

I thought I'd just have to give my top 5 albums...

KidaDynamite said:

mods, if you've seen all the other shit threads in this forum, you'd understand haystack's fine thread here deserves to be a sticky.

I think the Org isn't ready for this thread yet...

Tho' the title is !!!

You have got the greatest imagination I've ever hear of, go do something with it. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

If Prince was stuck with me on a desert island, he wouldn't need any outfit.

Dayclear said:

It's not wasted on the Org I have a readership of hundreds here.



Mind you, so does everyone else

InsatiableCream said:

you know that is just too much stuff this time of day for my brain to handle

Fuck it! I'm going to do a proper answer to this.

3. Which Prince outfit would you cling on to for nostalgia's sake?Cloud suit
4. Which Prince pic would you keep by your bed to remind you of him?The Lovesexy cover pic
5. You suddenly remembered that last bit of advice that you gave him before he let go of that thing you were floating on. What was that advice? Don't loose go cos you'll sink into the icy cold waters.

After 3 years and 19 days...


6. The authorities rescue you and ask you to describe the person who had been clinging to your make-shift raft (they found his fore-fingers frozen onto it where you snapped them off) in exactly five words (Why? I don't know). What five words would you use?Funky, worthy, memorable, genius, misunderstood
7. Once back in the civilised world, it turns out that you are now the sole owner of Prince's entire catalogue of songs. What would you do with them?Keep them to myself and fuck the rest of the fans
8. You're suddenly given three options by the United Nations. Which do you choose? You can only choose one.

a) You must rid the earth of Dirty Mind, 1999 and Sign O The Times. They will never be heard of ever again by anybody.

c) You can revive the 50 year old Prince who will retain all his creativity, but a) and b) will BOTH happen.
a). Sacrificing those albums is the smallest price to pay.

9. You arrive back in 2008 and take a look at the Org and realise that threads like this are taking place. How would you react and what would you suggest in order to make sense of it all?

Let them roll until Prince announces his next project - then let the new games begin.

Gosh. And my 'dessert' island thread was the one that got locked.
