This week’s assignment from the League: Deserted island

league deserted island

I love listening to the Atomic Geeks podcast, and a topic they return to fairly often is the deserted island concept. So, to blatantly rip them off, here is this week’s assignment for the League of Extraordinary Bloggers:

—

You are stranded for 10 years on a deserted island. You can take with you the following:

One food item (in a never-ending supply), one movie, one game, and one pop culture character. 

—

(And be sure to checkout the Atomic Geeks Podcast if you aren’t already a listener!)

The League is always open to new members! Got a blog? Write a post in response to the weekly challenge, and you’ll be included. It’s that easy!

REMEMBER!:

league logoOnce you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)

    Spoiler alert: The final series of Misfits ends with me spiriting away Rudy Wade to our own little island.

    Another fun topic! Good job, Brian!

    Here are my choices. It would definitely be okay to have a bad attitude on my island…

    What a fun assignment for the week! Is it sad that right about now I wish I was actually on a deserted island?

    This was a fun assignment! Without giving too much away:

    Goats, arachnids, turtles and orange sweaters…

    Fairly straightforward choices, but the simple ideas are the best, right?
