TDOS Draft to End All Drafts - Round 20

[Bricklayer]

Uh yeah. Oops. Lemme find my list...

 

[Bricklayer]

So...I lied a little with my last pick. Well, not so much lied as misdirected. I really do think plam trees suck. Ridiculous little bushes pretending to be trees. And this constant I want to go someplace disgustingly hot and humid for vacation fetish is completelyludicrous. But that said, I got me one place like that too:

Kauai

You've got one of the most famous coastlines in the world, the Pacific's deepest canyon, the wettest spot on the planet, waterfalls, jagged mountains used in 1 out of every 10 movies made, premiere surfing beaches if that's your thing, all wrapped up in one little 20mile x 20mile spot of the greenest land you are ever goign to encounter (hence its name "the Garden Isle"). Last time I was there I told my dad I was just going to buy the place. Haven't quite got there yet, but figure I'll just draft it instead.

Kauai

Beautiful island. Isn't that where puff the magic dragon lived too .

[pdxKingsFan]

Nice pick Brick.

 

[D-Mass]

Great pick, Brick. Wife and I went there for our honeymoon and loved it. Can't wait to go back.

 

[Jespher]

atxrocker has timed out (18 hour clock).

SacKings7 is on the clock. PM sent .

 

[SacKings7]

I figure I'll have to eat at least semi-healthy on my island (or at least have the option to) so I'm gonna go with this, since I love it:

Subway

The entire menu, including the drinks and chips/cookies. I almost took chips here, but I was gonna take this eventually so there was no point in wasting a pick.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

When I'm time travelling it is probably best to leave no footprints, so this skill might help:
Invisibility

I have a hard time coming up with positive actions I would do with this power but there's no doubt it would be a good time... so let the nefarious acts of no-goodery commence.

 

[D-Mass]

Next up...

WATER-SKIING

Even though I'm an avid snowboarder, I've never really taken to wakeboarding. In the water, I'm old school. At UCSB, I was on the tournament water-ski team...actually, we were more of a party team, but we skied sometimes...

 

[kingsnation]

Pick coming..

 

[kingsnation]

Had a few ways to go with this pick, and decided I needed some music.

The Beatles

I don't want to get into any music debates (Feel free to voice your opinion in the Last Band Standing thread..), but IMO - one of the greatest, if not the greatest band to ever play music.

 

[Jespher]

Löwenherz has timed out (18 hour clock).

Capt. Factorial is on the clock. PM sent .

 

[Löwenherz]

Wow, that's amazing. I left for work not even on the clock. Got back from work and had timed out. Ya'll are brutal in this one.

OK, enough stalling, my next pick is:

California

Spoiler

 

[Jespher]

OK, enough stalling, my next pick is:

California

Can't argue with that one. Easily my favorite state as it has just enough of everything you could want (Coast/Mountains/Rivers/Lakes/Cities/Country/Deserts/Rainforests, etc.)

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Even though it's summer now, I have to go with an all-time classic. I prefer Levi's myself, but any kind will do in a pinch...blue jeans.

 

[kings4lyfe32]

Im in NYC until thursday, so if I come up again feel free to skip me until then, I think im only down 1 pick? and I dont know if i can draft this but lets try it

edit : forget that, Ill draft my PS3

Can't go wrong there

 

[AleksandarN]

The computer

Poker

All forms of poker including strip poker. Hey I got all these pretty ladies I am sure they will have time to play a little strip. Also when I get bored I can atleast play all the pros.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Sometimes it's nice to relax in the evening with a nice glass of single malt scotch. I usually prefer the Speyside and Highland offerings, but every once in a while it's also nice to have a good, smoky Islay for a change. My budget normally limits me to bottles aged 15 years or less, but here in fantasy land I'll start moving up to 21 and beyond. And despite the ice cubes in the picture below, I'll have mine neat -- no reason to lose that rich complexity to chilling and dilution.

 

[Löwenherz]

I'm not interested in building a harem like some of you all seem to be. So, now that I have my home state secure, I'm going to add the quintessential California girl:

Marisa Miller

To be honest, I know next to nothing about this woman personally. What I do know is she's beautiful, a California native (Keep Santa Cruz weird folks), a surfer, an active representative of the Cancer Society and the Surfriders Association, able to avoid any scandalous stories about her from second hand celebrity gossip and she appeared in Sports Illustrated wearing merely a painted on Sacramento Kings jersey. Could have picked any team, went with mine.

And sometimes, that's all you need to know. Quality over quantity my friends

 

[Löwenherz]

Can't argue with that one. Easily my favorite state as it has just enough of everything you could want (Coast/Mountains/Rivers/Lakes/Cities/Country/Deserts/Rainforests, etc.)

There's a reason we have 55 electoral votes.

 

[kingsnation]

Sorry for the delay, pick coming..

 

[kingsnation]

Next pick...

John Madden Video Games

It's been a constant in my life since I was just a kid. It bridges generations. Arguably, the most popular sports game ever. I love these games!

 

[D-Mass]

Next up...

NEWS

Just about any medium is fine, but I have to stay informed. I'm a bit of a news junkie, and I'll often find myself staying up most of the night to follow a news story on the other side of the globe. I just feel that to be a good global citizen, you need to keep yourself abreast of conditions throughout the world.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I have a crying baby... pick will be up this evening when mommy comes home.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Sorry for the delay... in any event as I was writing a different pick and still agonizing just what kind of world/universe/fantasy island I was residing in it became obvious... my next pick would be Fantasy Island.

Why settle on one place when I can have a lush island paradise that has the ability to transform itself to any place I want to be? Yeah this is like rubbing the Genie's lamp and wishing for a million wishes on your first wish, so what? Not only do I get a location, I get Tattoo as my personal servant.

 

[SacKings7]

Telekinesis

Am I the only one who thinks this would be the coolest thing ever?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

No. I think telekinesis would be pretty sweet, especially used in subtle ways like buying season tickets and making sure all the important shots go in or becoming a FG kicker that never ever misses.

 

[bozzwell]

Sailing

I have a super yacht (Eclipse) for transport and partying, but for recreation nothing beats sailing.
