Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
Hey, every Forum needs an idiot, why deprive this one, right?
That's right party people, the real St. Shady is headed back to St. J and to honor my return to the Rock, I am following up the critically panned Not-So-Deep STJ Thoughts countdown (http://www.virgin-islands-on-line.com/v ... =1&t=20329) from a few years back with another every bit as superfluous forum thread:
Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypothetical Questions
(Why 11, well because it's absurd and it's also the number days left until departure day.)
5/31/13
#11 - Assuming the guys at NASA remembered to carry the 1 and there is in fact a rather large, planet destroying asteroid headed straight for us, I would choose to spend the few remaining hours on Earth at the Tourist Trap on STJ because I would think it would be too tough to get a last minute dinner reservation on Zozo's balcony for the sunset of mankind. Plus, after the asteroid hits, there will probably be a power outage and I think Larry and Cheryl run their blender off a car battery. So we'd have that going for us in case we still wanted to drink a toast to world peace, which is nice....but also probably moot by that point.
6/1/13
#10 - Skinny Legs' Bleu Cheese Burger. Rhumblines Spicey Szechuan Tuna. Deli Groto's Coconut "Crack" Bar. All are outstanding in their own right and worthy nominees should I ever be forced to decide on just one STJ restaurant food item to subsist on for the rest of my life. But I've decided to take the esophageal pathway less swallowed, reaching deep down to muster as much gastrointestinal fortitude as possible and have boldly chosen the oft misunderstood, Conch Fritter, the ones served at Vie's Snack Shack by Vie herself to be precise. True, it's a risky proposition given the fritter's artery clogging efficiency and 28.5% chance Vie won't be open for lunch. But the critical ingredient in this Caribbean hushpuppy is found in abundance in the waters around STJ and the Conch Fritter usually comes with a variety of dipping sauces to keep my palette intrigued and my absurdly interdependent relationship with this marine mollusk ever so fresh.
6/2/13
#9 - Assuming Conrad Sutton offered a Delorean for rent with the optional Flux Capacitor fun package standard and I could actually find some place on STJ to get that bad boy up to the 88 mph required to make time travel possible, I'd go back to STJ circa 100 BC and put up signs along the Reef Bay Gut that read, "Take Only Memories, Leave Only Footprints." I mean seriously, just because the Taino Indians got to the island 2000 years before we did doesn't mean they should have the right to carve stuff in the rocks. Hey, I'd like to carve "54b Barfed Up His Spleen Here" in 3-foot type on that big Kapok tree on the Reef Bay Trail, but I don't because I know petroglyphs is just a fancy science word for graffiti.
6/3/13
#8 - I think we can all agree that the only thing really standing between us and getting a face tattoo is the proper incentive. And the proposition of being given a comfortable life on STJ void of any expenses or worries for the rest of our days in exchange for said face tat sounds like a no brainer. But what kind of tattoo would you adorn your face with? Sure, you could go with some obscure tribal marking like Mike Tyson. Or get "SPF 50" inked backwards on your face to remind you to put on sunscreen every morning when you looked in the mirror. But I think I'm going with a geographical outline of the island filled in with a brownish-pink hue. That way if I put on a few more pounds thanks to the stress-free lifestyle I'd just been afforded, people would just say, "wow, that guy has a really interesting birthmark on his face."
6/4/13
# 7 - You want to know what's really absurd? The 5pm Customs' curfew when you're returning from the BVI's. What's up with that? It's not like they close STJ or the rest of the BVIs. They're not amusement parks...or are they? Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm just as much of an American at 5:01pm as I am at 4:59pm. So if I'm elected "Govna" for the day, besides passing a law that makes it legal and mandatory to rub anyone's tummy who doesn't say "good morning/afternoon/evening" when greeting you, I'm also extending the hours of operations over at Customs and adding a drive-thru lane for boats. You know maybe Customs can have one of those menu boards out at the end of dock with the squawk box and you can order like a #3 that includes a stamp in your passport and a jumbo sized order of fries because who isn't friggin' starving for anything deep fried after a day out on the water? Oh, just a tip though, I'd ask the Drive-Thru Customs Agent to hold the body cavity search that usually comes standard with the #3.
6/5/13
#6 - If I could be any animal on STJ there's no question that I'm going with the winnebago of the animal world, the Hermit Crab. Depending on your tolerance for vertical ascents, you can live up high on a hill with a down island view or tuck your pincher in and just roll all the way down to some beachfront property. Plus, you could probably pocket some sweet crawling-around-money on the Hermit Crab Racing Circuit. If "rubbing is racing," I can't think of a better gastropod suited for MISS LUCY'S SUNDAY-SUNDAY-SUNDAY BRUNCH & HERMIT CRAB DEMOLITION DERBY!!!!...or if you're more into cross country racing, you could always participate in the charity race, 8 Tough Meters.
6/6/13
#5 - The ability to hold your breath indefinitely while snorkeling sounds nice. Unlimited patience at restaurants during high season could come in handy. And who wouldn't want to be able to snap their fingers and make any hour happy hour at Woody's? But while taking my morning constitutional today, it occurred to me that the STJ superpower that I covet most would be the ability to poop sand like the parrot fish. Besides being a cool party trick, I figure I'd be a real hit at sandcastle building competitions and I could sport a STJ Superhero name like, "The Beachmaker" or "Sand Blaster" or even "Deuce Maho," which could also double as a cool STJ porn star name.
6/7/13
#4 Assuming it pays well enough to afford a good living on STJ, I think the STJ job I'd most want would be: Lion Fish Interrogator. I could roam the Rock every day just waiting for my CB radio to crackle, "Car 54b, where are you? We have a 187 in progress, suspect: adult male lion fish, Salt Pond." And I would be like, "roger that, I'm in hot pursuit." Once I located the offending party, with the help of the cork and washer locator that a concerned citizen dropped, I'd point my lobster lasso at the perp and be like, "don't move a fin or I'll turn you in to fried whale plankton faster than you can say first degree sashimi." And If I couldn't get the little serial fish killer to confess with questions like, "what's a guy like you doing in a school (of fish) zone" and "why does your breath smell like blue tang," I just might have to resort to, yes, torture. Unfortunately, I don't think waterboarding a lion fish would work...that's why I always carry a surf board. Hey lion fish, it's boogie time.
6/8/13
#3 There's a box with a button at the Beach Bar. If you push it, two things can happen and everyone will know that you pushed it. There's a 90% the result of pushing the button will be good and a 10% chance it will be bad. There are also two yellow t-shirts hanging next to this box. The first one contains the words in big black type: "I PUSHED THE BUTTON AND WON FREE PAINKILLERS FOR ALL." Unfortunately I'm currently wearing the second t-shirt that reads: "I PUSHED THE BUTTON AND CAUSED THE POWER OUTAGE." Whoops, my bad...perhaps the bar is not the best place to host this box.
6/9/13
#2 "We regret to inform you that the boiler on the USS Norway exploded this morning and your cruise has been cancelled," said the cruise liaison in the baggage claim area at the Miami airport at 8am on a June Sunday, just two hours before we were to embark on a weeklong cruise. After the mother of all dock blocks, my wife and I and 3 other twenty-somethings couples somehow remained calm and arranged to book flights from Miami to St. Thomas and rent a last second villa, Inn Paradise, on STJ for the week. And as absurd as it sounds, this would be the day I would choose to be my Groundhog Day - a day that repeats over and over as you learn all the important life lessons. Though that day started off about as bad as it possibly could have and I had to go through feeling like someone was punching me in the gut for about five hours, I ended up discovering St. John because of it and learned so many good lessons about staying positive and open minded. I will never forget that first time I saw the view from our villa. I couldn't believe I was actually there or that there were places this beautiful on Earth.

#1 If there was no St. John...well now that's just too absurd to dignify with a response.

Re: Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
I love this,54b!
I second the Tourist Trap for all the same reasons AND "Merry" Mary would still have a smile on her face while serving us food that was "made with love"!
If I couldn't make it there, I'd grab something yummy from Sam and Jack's, as much beer as I could carry from the Tap Room and make my way to Frank Bay to sit on the beach and watch the lights go out on St.Thomas.

Friends, they go away then they re-appear...I believe there is Magic here.
Re: Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
"where on STJ are you raising your glass to toast the end of the world?"
I tried that. I was at the Beach Bar's "End of the World" Mayan Apocalypse Party back on December 21st. What better place to be at the end of all things than the Beach Bar, right?
But then the lead singer started pitching for their gig the next night somewhere else. Hey, does he know something I don't??? That's when I started to have second thoughts...
All the best,
Kevin

Re: Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
I would have to be on my very favorite beach...Honeymoon. Not sure I like the new stand because I used to pretend it was my beach which is hard to do when there is a concession stand behind you. But then again at least I could be sitting in one of their comfy chairs. I would stop at Sam and Jack's and get one of their Wolf sandwiches...the one with the shrimp...yummy. And I would eat the whole thing...I wouldn't split it with my husband like I usually do. After all..it's the end of the world so who cares about calories. And on that note I could drink all the painkillers I wanted and not stop at one...or sometimes two when I am feeling adventurous. And my whole family would be with me and we would dance....remember we had a lot of painkillers....You know I might just try this so I will be ready for the end of the world..kind of a test run.
After all practice makes perfect.

Re: Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
Since we are going for absurd, I think I'd like to be exploring the bow of the RMS Rhone when it all ends. If it happens while at 75 or 80 feet it would end quickly. I wouldn't have to be concerned with whether I had sufficient air to get back to the boat.

Re: Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
I would get a huge bucket of pain killers and a bleu cheese burger from Skinny's, to go. Then I'd go out in a dinghy and maybe chase the sunset. I for sure wouldn't follow the rules about where I can't bring it. And since that asteroid apparently has its own moon, I'd moon it right back. After all, it's the end of the world and I'm buzzed on pain killers... I no longer care about the size of my a$$.

I think I'd want to be on top of that castle at the top of Calabash Boom, listening to Ri-Ri's "Drink to that"

Re: Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
WHEW!!!!! We all made it! That was (over a million miles away) close! 
"So what STJ menu item can't you live without since this hypothetical absurdly stipulates you can only have one food item for the rest of your life?"
I am SO with you - CONCH FRITTERS!!!!! Since Vie's has NEVER been open when we've visited (sigh.....), I can't speak with any authority to those, but I've had them all over the island, and I'd honestly take them wherever I could get them. And you're right - the various sauces make them even MORE fantastic!
THANKS for doing this, 54b. You always crack me up!

Re: Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
B54: Love this thread.
Answer to Absurdity #11: I would spend my last moments on the porch of my villa on Bovacap Point while eating pizza from Casa Roma and chasing it with Cranberry and vodka. The most absurd point being the possibility that I could ever actually afford a Villa on STJ for longer than 2 weeks at a time.
Answer to absurdity #10: You nailed it with the Conch Fritters. However your culinary GPS has gotten off course and if you listen closely you will here it saying "recalculating, recalculating" make a U-turn at the tree in the middle of the road by Vie's and drive back to Coral Bay to Aqua Bistro where the best fritters on the Island are really sold.
As you may recall the Conch Fritter Olympics were held in STJ in 2012. This was a sanctioned event where Aqua Bistro took the Gold, Ship Wreck Landing took silver (although the scoring was skewed by some underhanded scores of 10's by the Russian judges and Vie's took the Bronze.
We have only 2 nights remaining on STJ for this trip but are enjoying every moment. I can't wait to read the remaining B54 Absurd Hypotheticals over the next 9 days.

Re: Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
54b
You are asking such difficult questions that a girl may have to get the water bottle back out of the frig that btw I remembered did not have water in it after taking a huge gulp to rehydrate ( as I exchanged the contents of a passion fruit glass rum bottle so I could go to St John Spice and get vanilla!) whew was that the best run- on sentence ever!!! But I hope you got the visual !!
Anyway back to the test-
#11 I'm drowning at Leinster , liking for eagle rays!
#10 a little more difficult but since I'm this is "absurdity 101" and since some of the wait staff has dubbed me "the cookie lady" - I am going with my own chocolate chunk or white chocolate cranberry orange cookies!
I don't eat many but I am making quite a lot for those who
Give us the good stuff!! Don't worry I will have some for you 54B!
Can't wait to hear #9-#1 ... And to meet you!! ( this could possibly be the finest car barge ride ever!)

Re: Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
This is awesome!!!#11 would be Tourist Trap because I'd like to die laughing and 54B's wit pretty much guarantees it!
#10 Blaine and I agree would be Candi's ribs, but Vie's conch fritters are a close second.
Thanks for the laugh, and looking forward to more

Re: Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
#10 -- Well as much as I love Vie's conch fritters and Skinny's bleu cheese burger (which I chose for my asteroid-watching last meal), I have to say I love me some of Miss Lucy's paella. There's enough goodness in there to last a good long time.
#9 -- After checking out the St John timeline, I've decided to visit in the late 1960s since the sewer system was established by then and I could visit the Tektite Project. I could see the island pre-building boom and pre-Hugo and Marilyn. I'd buy up some land, upon which I'd build a small and sturdy house (to hopefully last through Hugo and Marilyn.) Post-Marilyn, I'd hope to expand it a bit while keeping it modest and funkily Caribbean with little pods for additional bedrooms.

Re: Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
Sorry for the delay today, I was busy getting a face tattoo of STJ on my cheek...just kidding
Love all the responses so far. What's funny is despite absurdity, you can still find out what people really love about STJ. The lesson learned of course, "idiots like me, while unpredictable and dangerous when given unchaperoned access to the internet, can still serve a purpose."
1 week to go, baby!

It’s not about yesterday or tomorrow...It’s about today, for come what may – Sun, rain, or hurricane – we've only time for a smile, and none for sorrow
Re: Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals
#11 - at my own house in Estate Rendezvous! 
#10 - the BBQ pork nachos at the Tourist Trap. Eating those for the first time was a religious experience!
#9 - late 1950's to early 1960's when curvier figures were in style. If I am living down there full time, I think I will put on a few lbs!
#8 - probably a turtle. I still get so excited every time I see one!
