    Stranded on an Island

    I am reminded of the old Farr Side Cartoon where one person dies and he is greeted in heaven with a gift...:Welcome to Heaven, here is your Harp" and another person dies and he is greeted in hell...."Welcome to hell, here is your accordian".
    So, if you are stranded on an island for the rest of your life, and you had to pick one of these options to be stranded with you, which of these would be the lesser hell?

    My God man, have you no sense of decency!!! I go with Jar-Jar as the lesser evil. I retain the option of flinging myself into the ocean.

    I am with Elmo. He's cute and he's little. So I can tell him to shut up if I need to!

    Since Catherine Zeta Jones is not an option, I have to go with Barney for the same reason that EyeManFla listed.

    I go with the band Newsong for the same reason EyemanFla and Jim stated about Barney. Christian groups are very tasty with the right barbeque sauce.

    I'm with Eyeman,
    Have you seen the dinosaur ribs Fred Flintstone eats. Big enough to flip a car. Also if it was cold enough, one could pull a Han Solo and hollow him out like a Tauntaun.:D

    Elmo - Too furry to eat. Annoying as heck. Strong possibility he has a tickle fetish.

    Jar-Jar - He's so stupid he'd actually try to tell you how to season him for eating. Only problem is it'd be darn near impossible to understand a word he said. Besides, he's so clumsy he'd probably get us both killed early on.

    Newsong - Hey! I just thought of a new way to keep Saddam "entertained" in jail. Now just because cannibalism's a not socially acceptable doen't mean it's off the table in the right circumstances, but I don't like to be outnumbered. There are like 6 or more guys in that group, and the odds are some of them might embrace "the other white meat" around the same time I do.

    Barney - Man cannot live by bread alone. He could, however, live off a big dinosaur for quite a while - might could even invite the guys from Newsong for a cookout! :D

    I vote Barney.
