If you were in a bomb shelter, and were allowed to bring only three things(one person, one album, and one food item), what would they be?

A person, an ALBUM, and a food item? Does the food item have to be non-perishable? Is the album a music album or a photo album or something? I'd take my husband, because he'd probably be with me anyway and because I love him. I'm not sure on the album, because I don't know what kind of album we're talking about. . .and for food, I'd take Mom's noodles if I could conceivably keep them in good condition. I'd take something that would last longer if I couldn't do
anything special to preserve my food. I assume water would be provided. . .

If I was in a bomb shelter, and was allowed to only bring 3 things (one person, one album, and one food item), what would it be...

This question comes from clasic rock 94.7...certainly, this is not a easy question...for the album, no contest, Guns N Roses....appetite for destruction...their lead singer is a flaming a..hole...but that album is my favorite album of all time...

One person...that is really difficult...I would say my brother...but he would want to hang with his wife...and I can not fault him for that...that being the case, I would say...a friend of mine who is into pro wrestling, and the Dallas Cowboys...which is totally my bag...

Food...that is a really easyone....Taco Salad...

Hmmm . . .Person: the closest and most logical would be to give up my spot for my friend Lori and her 3 little kids (they all equal one full sized adult). Album: probably a CD of early chamber music.
Food: probably some multi-nutritious shake, bar and lots of water.

I'd bring my husband. I wouldn't bother with music and water.

No books allowed? A pox upon your paltry bomb shelter.

If everybody's only allowed to bring the same 3 items are we assuming that all bombshelters come with stereo systems? And only one food item? How long are we expecting the containment period to last?

The album would be "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" by Smashing Pumpkins. The food item would be a pre-prepared hamper with all the essentials I'd need for at least a week or so. I couldn't choose just one person cause there's too many people who mean the world to me,
so I'd let the Gods decide who accompanies me.

Egads I hate these kinds of questions.... always leave me wanting to add more options! The person would be my daughter... the album would probably be (this is a tough call) Blind Faith... and the food would be bananas ~ I've learned they are the perfect food.

Well, first of all I'd bring my husband. I have no children so there would be no heartache over "which child should I save", etc. As for the album - that's a hard one. I'd probably go with the score to Handel's Messiah. I could listen to that forever. Food? Oats, I guess. (I'm thinking of survival here. If it were just for a little while, I'd bring a lot of pre-cooked pizzas. Love cold pizza.)

First off, I'd give up my spot in the bomb shelter. I'd like Linda and Rob to go in, but that's up to them. If I HAD to be there, I'd bring potatoes and probably a mixed CD I'd burned of all of my favorite illegally downloaded songs.

My fiance, Love songs album and Chicken Express chicken (yum!)

Stephanie, 25

My husband, REM Fables of the Reconstruction, and Diet Coke.

One person... I love you, mom, but I'd bring my wife. One album? Do you mean photo album or audio album? I don't get that one... Change it to one ITEM just for the sake of argument and my item would be (other than some clothes) would be a radio with fresh batteries and one food item would be a big bag of potatoes (I really hope I'm not in this bomb shelter for very long!)

I would bring my mother, my Avril Lavigne CD, and some powdered cheese that could be mixed with water, like the kind in Mac&Cheese, to help prepare food.

Person - the one who would otherwise launch the bomb.
Album - Something tranquil, perhaps Baroque or one of Enya's.
Food - Cheese.

with only one food item, i hope the bombing would be over soon. I guess I'd bring my buddy Zig, god knows what album i'd be cool with for that whole time. I guess I'd have to bring some Simon and Garfunkel to calm myself down, and as for the food, I'd bring the biggest steak money can
buy. can Zig bring a steak too? Maybe I could get him to smuggle in some Johnny Cash, too.

I would like the three things to be my husband, and two sons. But if it is One person, my husband; One album, Warren Zevon -Excitable Boy; and One food, chocolate.

That's a ridiculous question, but I would bring my husband, U2's War album and peanut butter.

Tracy, 24

I'd bring my son, Crosby, Stills and Nash Greatest Hits and Asiago cheese bread from Panera Bread.
