swamprat Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Seen a question on a pizza box that asked. If you could only have one possession what would it be? Now not using family or religion or things like that. What would your one material item be? I'll let you know my pick later.

swamprat Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 OK! The accesories can be included. The wife can not! I said no family. It has got to be a material thing.Dave, I know a kangaroo and a mate might be the same but they are not a material object. Lets have fun! Give me your best!

swamprat Posted January 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 My choice was a still. If everybody has to give up everything but one item I think there will be a huge demand for my product. Swamprat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamprat 9636[/snapback] I said " Knife" not "wife" you Twit ! The wife would be the first to go ! & if I sampled the product of that still of yours ........Well the Ugliest Roo in the world would start to look good (come to think of it if ya spend enough time out on your own .....Hell you do'nt even need the product of the Still ) Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I would say a 1917 Enfield bayonet. Big enough to chop down a pine tree and to use as a short sword, strong enough to pound a nail or keen enough to cut a rope, long enough to make a spear.

ShooterTom Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Well your still helped me to decide. Id keep a warehouse full of toilet paper. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamp_thing Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Since accessaies can be kept with it, I am suprised no one has said their rifle, bayonet and ammunition. That would be my chioce, you would be afforded protection, a means for food, a way to clean the food and the bayo could cut the necessary limbs to make shelter and other needs. The uses are limited only by ones imagination and skill. swamp_thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'd "still" keep some toilet paper handy. I have run out before the paper work's done, and it ain't pleasant! Of course in the old days there were plenty of corn cobs to serve the purpose. Where has all the corn cobs gone? Gone to places where I'm not. When will we ever learn, when will we ever learn. fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emul8 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 You are welcome to share my ATM card with me, horsefly! Actually, I didn't even have to think about that response...it was automatic...I don't know what I would do without my beloved ATM card! We may not be able to get everything we'd need, but I'm sure we could get enough! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I want to amend my post about land---make it 40 acres and a mule. My father started out with that, and turned it into 400 acres and a Deere. Without the land, there is no place to put this thing you call a ATM. And you don't own the ATM, so it is not really yours, is it. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emul8 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Well fritz, yes and no...the ATM card, which is what I said I would keep, not the ATM itself, is in fact mine...it goes to my account and it's my money in there, so yes, it really is mine. None of the ATMs are mine, in a purely ownership sense, however, they sort of do belong to the customers of my bank, as a matter of convenience...and as there are plenty of them around access to one doesn't have to be limited to my land. Besides, while land is great, if you don't have money to start with you can't really live off of it. My ATM card, linked to the funds in my account makes it fairly simple to live whilst developing any resources I might need in the furtherance of my well-being. Finally, 40 acres and a mule is technically two items, therefore you are trying to cheat! Maybe you're just jealous because I came up with the best answer here?

fritz Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 OK, forget the mule. But I take exception to the idea that without money to start with, you can't live off of it. A lot of people did, but maybe they lived in a different world. I misunderstoond the question---it is today (or tomnorrow) that we need one material thing? I still would want the land, abeit without an ATM on it. fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShooterTom Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Well if you get to change. I want to change mine from a warehouse full of toiletpaper. To a whorehouse full of toiletpaper and then hook up with Rat and his still and we'd have a good money making operation going. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamprat Posted January 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Emul-8, You can have the ATM card, however you cannot have the bank account. That would also be two items. Now had you said unlimited cash! fritz, You can have the mule since I said accessories are included. Besides I need your corn to run my still. Swamprat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emul8 Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Well, since you are changing the rules to include accessories, then I submit to you that my bank account is an accessory to my ATM card...and a mighty fine one too as it doesn't make me look fat. And, if we are going to be splitting hairs, then of course, I don't blame fritz for taking exception to my statement about not being able to live off the land without moola. What I meant to indicate with that is that if one were to acquire a parcel of 40 acres of essentially raw, unimproved land it would likely be very tough to manage without money. Now, if we're talking about the "perfect" parcel, that would be different...but come on, how likely is THAT in TX? Just kidding, fritz!
