Lets all chip in
 
ebay apparently does sell everything.

yesman065 07-31-2007 12:07 PM

I am totally in - Where do I send my $20.00?

glatt 07-31-2007 12:12 PM

That's pretty cool.

yesman065 07-31-2007 12:13 PM

Oh, and uh - who's got a boat? - I'd like to actually get to our island.

Uisge Beatha 07-31-2007 12:17 PM

You know, yesman's not far off; with 4819 members in the Cellar, we could get it for $165/member. :D

i think we've found our treasurer. :D

elSicomoro 07-31-2007 12:25 PM

My parents have friends that live a few hours from there in Kittery (across the river from Portsmouth, NH). And they have a boat we could use.

Shawnee123 07-31-2007 12:32 PM

I WANT. I WANT! Let's start a commune. I'll bring the kool-aid.

I suppose I could stay in the office and handle that. I wouldn't be going to the island myself since I have ex-in-laws near there. :headshake

If you guys buy the island, I'll bring the lobstahs.

I'll bring the suga:)

wolf 07-31-2007 12:41 PM

I love it, but I'm not going until there are flush toilets and high speed internet.

My spirit of adventure only goes so far.

I am a little concerned about the "rock the size of an office building." Does it spoil the view, or is it the view?

I don't know...

Rogue Island sounds like a formidable foe.

Takes a lil lookin, but you can actually see it on the aerial map!

rkzenrage 07-31-2007 02:18 PM

Let's just get a helicopter while we are at it, fuck boats.

Weird Harold 07-31-2007 02:38 PM

$ Amount for shipping is unspecified. That's where they get ya. On the shipping.

Shawnee123 07-31-2007 02:40 PM

Maybe I need to play a big lottery tonight. If I win I'll buy the island and you can all come play.

Wait we would need to land it somewhere safe - -
ooooh we could all rappel down

xoxoxoBruce 07-31-2007 02:49 PM

Are you people nuts?
Do you realize Summer up there lasts 3 days... not in a row. Great if you want to raise Polar Bears.
And it faces the open ocean... North Atlantic. You know, icebergs, Titanic, Vikings.
Find some place warm where we can get naked.

yesman065 07-31-2007 02:53 PM

Way to shit on our party Bruce - man that was a cold dose of reality!

There are literally dozens of islands for sail, in warm, sunny places. A little more money, but pleasant year round, with wahines, trees, wahines, coconuts, wahines, fresh water, wahines... you know, necessities.

Don't worry about the Vikings. I'll handle them; they're my people, so no problem.

My high school mascot thingy was a Viking, so I could probably do the old school song and soften them up.

There you go! We'll tackle anything with teamwork. I'd say we ought to have just about all the resources we need between all the folks here. But, um, how do we work the time-share. :rolleyes:

True dat. This one is even in the good old USA.

limey 07-31-2007 03:41 PM

I went somewhere a little like that recently - Sanda Island (faces the Atlantic from the other side and I can see it from my house (weather permitting)).
It was FAB and we're going to holiday there as soon as we can organise it.
True, there is a pub ... :D

elSicomoro 07-31-2007 03:46 PM

I claim dibs on building a pub and running it. I will be happy to hire some of you as employees though. :D

Shawnee123 07-31-2007 03:48 PM

I'm a great bartender, but I was kind of planning to be Mayor, since I'll be buying it with my lottery winnings. There will be all kinds of rules...NOT!

Uisge Beatha 07-31-2007 03:48 PM

Excellent! We have a pub and the beginnings of a local economy already. This is looking better all the time.

elSicomoro 07-31-2007 03:56 PM

UT and some of the other folks can help set up our IT infrastructure. Bruce can be the crotchety town elder. Griff can help us build shit. Rich can be the cook at my pub.

What else?

Shawnee123 07-31-2007 04:01 PM

:girlband: We'll definitely not long for live music with all the musicians around here. Ram Island Rocks, baybay!

:vikingsmi

yesman065 07-31-2007 04:12 PM

Perhaps we could rename it something creative and different like - uh "Cellar Island" - never mind, even I don't like it - I'll just start the rock collection when we get there.

Cicero 07-31-2007 04:15 PM

I'm in! Wooo-hoo!
I do think we need a tropical paradise instead so I can swim. I want coconuts.

Oh- sign me up for 1 cyber-cafe owner. (I make great sandwiches too)

Oooh, I've never been in a Casino. Can I work there?

elSicomoro 07-31-2007 04:40 PM

A casino would be cool, but it could spoil the island a bit...bring too many retards in. Shawnee, you have to make sure that our island doesn't become like Nantucket.

Yeah, Mayor is good for you, 'cause I remember you wanted to 'start a commune and you'd bring the kool-aid.' Heh, no Jonestown cocktails for us! :D

rkzenrage 07-31-2007 06:06 PM

Can we make it our own country?
Oh man... this is gonna' be great!
I get to make some laws!!!!!
"You only get to wear rubber, patent leather, glass, plastic and fur in Cellartopea!"
I call dibs on building the dungeon, missiles and launcher!

Will it be like Hooters attire??? I have the handbook already.

I shouldnt have to chip in as much, gonna cost me a small friggen fortune to get there

monster 07-31-2007 07:36 PM

We'll send the heli for you.....

Can I be the fire chief? And put a jacuzzi at the bottom of the pole?

Who said you had to pay at all? The per share cost was based on 4819 members, and we already have 9 more than that. That gives us a current surplus of $1485, which could go towards your travel expenses. :)

A firefighting monster sure sounds good to me. Since there shouldn't be too many fires to handle, you ought to have spare time to keep helping with dishing out new user titles. ;)

monster 07-31-2007 07:55 PM

Can I be chief arsonist too? I likes a good fire.....

My high school mascot was a Trojan. Despite this, we had a surprising number of pre-graduation pregnancies.

RK, and I were thinking of recreating the giant rubber duck from France. I suppose if we have any yellow PVC left over we could....

Hey that gives me an idea could all the women on the island be big breasted bimbo robots, like in The Stepford Wives?

DucksNuts 08-01-2007 05:44 AM

I knew what you were on about Harry ;)

Griff 08-01-2007 06:26 AM

That is really a stunning place. I could build a fabulous timber frame there. They mention that its a designated bird island, that may make building a non-option... Maybe security could deal with the bird/seal problem? ;)

Heck, just break the seal and let the birds out - no more problem!

I changed my mind. I don't wanna be Mayor. I like Griff's idea better. Shall we have elections?

btw, Griff, will you bring me a goat? I think a Maine island would be a perfect place for a pet goat.

Griff 08-01-2007 09:31 AM

I do have a number of spare goats at the moment but am dubious that man and goat can live in harmony on a small island.

glatt 08-01-2007 09:38 AM

Harmony? Who said anything about harmony?
