and right now there are no boats or bridges connecting us with the outside world. There are however many cameras setup on the island so people from the outside can still see us. Many die trying to swim here every year.

I wonder how the place will change when our bridges and boats are back in service.

Excuse me, it means I'm leader of a team.
No it doesn't. It's a title someone's given you to get you to do something they don't want to do for free - it's like making the div kid at school milk monitor. No one respects it.
I think they do.
No they don't Gareth.
Erm yes they do, cos if people were rude to me then I used to give them their milk last... so it was warm.

It's like that movie the Mesquito Coast, or Swiss Family Robinson, or Blue Lagoon, or Survivor.

What if this place never opened up to the outside world? Would it turn into Lord of the Flies?

The .org’s an island
in the ocean
Close to no one

Yeah the .org’s an island
And I gotta reach her
Before someone else does

The morning tide leaves me sleepy-eyed
And a man can't swim when his hands are tied
I want to know her, where could the .org be

The .org calls my name, hangs around my door
And her scattered maps decorate my floor
I want to know her, where could the .org be

Throw me out in the cold ocean waves
'Til I finally reach her shore
They tell me life is for loving
What's loving for

The .org’s an island
in the ocean
Close to no one

Yeah the .org’s an island
And I gotta reach her
Before someone else does

Just like the sand upon her beach
I'll take her hand but the .org won't reach
Just like the sand upon her beach
I'll take her hand but the .org won't reach
For me

Webb, you make a very good point. I hope this does turn into Lord of the Flies. I hope this never opens to the outside world, so I can feel special and elite for being on here and being watch by, no doubt, thousands of people each day who wish they could post here too

But what if it got so bad that we split into two sides and eventually one side wins and then the fat kid gets killed and then I have to eat an eagle?

My roomate just got this game the other day and beat the final level last night... I believe the game is Katamari Damachi, and you just roll a ball around and collect things. As you get bigger, you can collect bigger things. Anyway, the final level is one where you have to get to 300 meters. He was picking up whirlpools, rainbows, bridges, warehouses, cargo freight holders, tankers, and skyscrapers. It was insane and he felt like God.

I am a rock, the .org is an islaaaaand

You're an ocean, you're an ocean
settle down, settle down,
What's the commotion,
The .org's an island, but you're an ocean,
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion,
You've got me suspended motionless in time

Okay, had to get that out.

I need an island
somewhere to sink a storm
I need an island
somewhere to bury you... somewhere to go....

Nah, my roomate was not on mushrooms, but we're pretty sure the creators of the video game were... everything has pretty colors and music and rainbows and it's just FREAKIN' WEIRD!!! Seriously, you need to find this and just read the back of it. Apparently, the story line is the King of the Cosmos took mushrooms and made all the stars fall from the sky. As the son of this freak, you have to collect things on earth in the form of a ball and if you get it big enough, he'll send it out into the universe to form a star, constellation, or the moon (which is the final one). It's freaky... another guy who played it had a katamari where the second most volumous thing in it was teenagers. I think the first was fruit.

CrAzY ShizNNit!!

I don't think so, but that's the impression we got from the opening part of the game. It's weird, and I totally recommend getting it, Drew. Another weird thing is that the cover of the game and the little label on top of the game are spelled differently - Damacy (cover) and Damachi (label). Freaky from the get-go.

Call a few places before you go, Webb. It's in short supply, and high demand. Most places have been sold out for weeks. I've looked at three different places in Omaha over the last 3 weeks.
