If you were hypothetically stuck on a desert island, how would you answer these questions (and why):

(1) What forum member would you want to be stuck with?
(2) Which one numismatic book would you want to have?
(3) If you had a computer and could only get one numismatic website (the PCGS and NGC boards don't count), what would it be?
(4) What professional dealer would you want to be stuck with?
(5) What forum member would you prefer not to be stuck with, but would play a good Gilligan to your Skipper, and at least would be entertaining?
Always took candy from strangers
Didn't wanna get me no trade
Never want to be like papa
Working for the boss every night and day
--"Happy", by the Rolling Stones (1972)

    (1) What forum member would you want to be stuck with? Lucy seems like a fun person, heing so hep and all.
    (2) Which one numismatic book would you want to have? Krause's World Coins -- to get more fires going.
    (3) If you had a computer ... one numismatic website...? Teletrade, so I can keep current on what material dealers couldn't move on their own.
    (4) What professional dealer would you want to be stuck with? The biggest one availlable in case we runout of coconuts to eat.
    (5) What forum member would you prefer not to be stuck with, but would play a good Gilligan to your Skipper, and at least would be entertaining?
    Any WANNABE dealer. If I did get stuck with such an individual, I would obviously change my dealer choice (above) to Laura for the entertainment value of it all.
