Are you implying a crown does not make a Queen?
(please note my Beauty Pageant Judge DAW status)

I have to agree that the high school jacket is really lame. The banner however depending on it's size could come in handy...remember until they traded all thier shelter for more rice, that Colby's Texas flag was a great shelter therefore being one of the best luxury items of all time.

The following is a test of my sig pic...if it doesn't work then this post will self destruct in 5 seconds

It's a nice-looking sig pic... however, it's 142 pixels in height. (right-click on the picture then click on "Properties" on the popup menu)

Some time ago (I'm sure well before you ever found this place), a request was put out to reduce sig pics to a maximum height of 60 pixels to lessen the amount of time it takes to open up threads and scroll down to read user's comments.

One idea is to have the "Survivor" and "Overlord" sandwiching the picture on the sides instead of stretching out over the picture? You can always put out a call to one of our bluemen, IceCat, who is always creating some amazing sig pics.

Sorry Pepe,

I'll have to see what I can do to get it down to size....sandwiching is probably the way to go...just really liked the way the arch looked

Zeta Crown: Is that anything? Like Zeta, warrior princess but spelled wrong? Does she have a magic bracelet too - like Wonderwoman?

Pepe, are you really Bill Gates?

I'm thinking "Zeta" as in Catherine Zeta-Jones and the one you're thinking of is Xena, Warrior Princess.

>Pepe, are you really Bill Gates?

Oh, I wish... his money, that is, not his looks.

If that's in reference to the sig pics -- it's not me, it's the blue men who passed that down before the start of S4 (I think it was) as there were complaints about huge sig pics taking up too much space. Don't shoot the messenger.

Pepe, I would never shoot you. Challenge you to a duel by slapping you with my glove, maybe, but shoot, never!!!! And my Bill Gates reference was only to your seemingly vast knowledge of this computer mumbo-jumbo. Now I have to try to get my pic down to 60 pixels (never did quite know what a pixel was) -- darn thing's at 80. hmmmph.

As for Zeta - love the husband; hate the commercials - but didn't know she had a crown. (Thus I thought Zeta was a misprint, and the crown belonged to someone with superhuman powers - like Tina had over Colby or Amber had over Sir'rist.) Ah yes, back to Catherine - Probably has a doll named after her who drives a Porsche that some guy named Michael bought her. And to think I grew up with Barbie and Ken, and at the time Barbie had a one room "dream house". Again, I say hmmmmph.

Bring 'em on, Burnitt. We're ready for the next bunch here at SB.

Zeta may have something to do with a sorority. Like Alpha Beta Gamma Zeta, etc...

Seeing all this discussion going on, it got me to wondering just what the hell is a Zeta crown. So I googled it up and found this crown...

And it's apparently part of a frat thing for the Zeta Tau Alphas (Eta Kappa).

So, great, we've got a Jughead coming onto the show. Bash on!

I suppose we should keep in mind that MB probably denied the castaways the opportunities to take some better luxury items along. Often the castaways are stuck with their third or fourth choice. I couldn't even think of five things that they would even allow me to take that were actually useful. My first choice: Listerine.

Zeta IS a sorority thang. Shame on us for not reading each and every post on this thread. See above for more information on the Zeta crown. However, had we read the whole thread, we wouldn't have been able to express our opinions in the creative way we did. So it's apparently a wooden crown. Hmmm the jacket and teddy bear are looking good right now.

Steffigurl: While Burnitt does choose what they can take, the choice is from among the things contestants bring with them. I can see bringing a golf club, a book, a journal, a flag, a piece of clothing, deck of cards, picture of loved ones, etc. A wooden crown -- I see kindling.

Actually, we have to give a little credit now that the first episode's done to Shawna and her EDIBLE massage oil - it's basically cooking oil and that can come in very handy for making horrible things actually cook (e.g., tortillas made out of that grain they all have, etc.). May not be as stupid an item as previously thought.
And what's with the flag/tarp exception? I thought after Colby used his flag as a tent those things were disallowed. Obviously the plasticky "believe in yourself" banner will be a great shelter, or cover for wood as suggested last night, etc.
