If you were stranded on Monkey Island

If you got stranded on Monkey Island, shortly after Guybrush left after the first game what would be the first thing on your list of things to do?

I would most certainly go and let down the poor monkey from the totem pole... can't remember his name.. JoJo?

    Don't do that! You're going to change the course of history!
    (Spoilers for Escape)
    If you let JoJo down, JoJo Jr. will never go to bury him, he won't get the ability to speak and think like a human, Guybrush will never figure out Monkey Kombat and will never leave Monkey Island, so the entire pirate population will be bent to Ozzie's will.
    I mean I didn't like Escape all that much either, but that's no reason to let Ozzie win.

    Well, if Guybrush left on the Sea Monkey, the first thing I'd do is sail away on Herman's hidden ship..... :)

    I'd go directly to the Caverns of Meat under the giant monkey head, scream "It's meaty and dangerous out there!", and promptly collapse in fits of laughter.

    What is this, Desert Island Discs?

    Well, I'd bring some U2, Jimi Hendrix, some Elbow, and one of Michael Land's soundtracks...

    wait, I might have missed the point of the thread.

    I would go swimming, and then eat some bananas while im on the beach.

    Maybe throw some rocks at the corpse of Herman´s mate, on the pond...

    Later, i probably should give him a proper burial...maybe try to train some monkeys to do it for me...

    I'd be like: "OMG!! I'm on Monkey Island!!"

    Then I'd probably go and try finding out the secret.

    I'll probably join with Herman and be insane and what not...keeping the pants on of course.

    I would set about building a tropical paradise resort, staffed by evil cannibals, and then shoot a reality-tv-show about the outcomes.

    I would immediately rename it, "The Island Nation of Lena_Piania!" and declare myself Queen. Then I'd grab a coconut or something.

    Try to get off the isolated island in the middle of nowhere, of course. Unlike Guybrush, I'm pretty sure that I can die, even though I haven't done so even once yet. And I'm not too fond of being stranded.

    It made up part of our english coursework. We actually had to make up structured points for objects and music we would take. (i chose music wise: The National anthem, to remind me of home and objectwise: A photobook, so i wouldn't forget who i was.)

    I'll probably try to play along and try to escape somehow...

    You are stranded on a tropical island.
    You see a banana tree on the beach you're standing on.
    There is a boat besides you, alas it has no oars.
    There is a jungle north.
    There is a note near your left foot.
    > Read note
    You can't read it, perhaps you need to pick it up first
    > Pick up note
    Item picked
    > Read note
    It reads "Welcome to Monkey Island"
    > Pick banana
    You try to stretch yourself to get a banana, but miserably fail. You hear monkeys laughing nearby. You notice a banana over the sand behind the tree.
    > Look around
    You see a banana tree on the beach you're standing on.
    There is a boat besides you, alas it has no oars.
    There is a jungle north.
    There are no monkeys around
    > Eat banana
    You're not hungry
    > Eat banana
    Maybe you'll need it later
    > Eat banana
    OK, eaten. Your potassium level raises along with your shame for not peeling the banana before eating it
    > Examine boat
    This magnificent boat is incredibly sea-worthy. Unfortunately for you, it has no oars
    > North
    You step into the jungle
    You see lots and lots of tropical trees, tropical plants and mosquitoes
    There is a path leading north.
    There is a rock nearby.
    > Kill
    Kill what, Einstein?
    > Kill self
    Hmmm, suicidal tendencies. Feeling lonely?
    Still, I can't comply
    > Kill self
    OK. Behind a tree appears an ancient statue. Dazzled by the golden idol on top, you fail to see the poisoned arrows that were fired by another idol below the golden one. You die miserably alone. Game over.

    Are you sure (Y/N)?
