Two Lists

In college, my buddies and I had two lists that were kept...these lists were written down, tracked and taken seriously. If you wanted to change an entry on your list, a meeting had to be called and the majority of list participators had to be present.

Those lists were called the Desert Island Five and the Get Off the Planet Five.

The Desert Island list were the 5 ladies (or in the girl's case, men) that you would want to be stuck on a desert island with. Rules were simple: 1. You cannot have a woman/man on your island if someone else already claimed him/her. 2. You could not include your "significant other". 3. You could pick someone from a specific era...for example, I might pick Audrey Hepburn circa 1960's as opposed to having her now...well, she is dead, but you get the point. 4. You had to have a Queen/King of the Island. This was your top banana.

So we had a draft and picked our inhabitants...there were changes over the years to the wonderful company we kept on our mythical island, but we kept the lists going and still make references to them.

The Get Off the Planet Five was a list containing the five people you would blast into outer-space, never to been seen or heard from again. The rules were very similar to the Desert Island list: 1. You cannot have a woman/man on your spaceship if someone else already claimed him/her. 2. You could not include people you personally know. 3. You had to have a driver of the spaceship. This was your first round draft choice. The one you would personally like to see disappear the most.

My lists? Well, if you insist.

Desert Island Five:
Queen: Alyssa Milano
Court: Elle MacPherson - Circa Early 90's
Court: Stephanie Seymour
Court: Charlize Theron
Court: Donna Reed - 1946

Get Off the Planet Five:
Pilot: Gloria Estefan (She has been the pilot since day 1)
Crew: Leonardo DiCaprio
Crew: Rosie O'Donnell
Crew: Jesse Jackson
Crew: The Amazing Jonathon - He earned the right to be on this list!

So with that explanation and confession, I am curious, who is on your Island and who is on your Spaceship? Remember, you can't pick someone that has already been picked.
