Gilligans Island -- I have questions!!

[braalian]

Mary Ann or Ginger?

That is the only Gilligan's Island question that matters.....

It ranks right up there with Chili - Beans or no Beans?

Ginger.

And beans. no-bean chili is good for chili dogs and nothing else.

There, just answered two of life’s pressing questions for you

 

[Thunk]

It was about as believable as Lost In Space.

DANGER...DANGER Will Robinson!

 

[braalian]

You can have Ginger.

I'll take Mary Ann

Yikes, is it too late to change my vote to Mary Anne?

 

[1srelluc]

Ginger.

Damn straight!

Mary-Ann....Ginger would get jealous and the jealous sex would be 87 times better.....You have to think strategically.

Ya gotta admit...the robot was cool! So was the jet-pack.

I feel bad for Mrs Billionaire. No one ever wants to bang her.

I have QUESTIONS!!!!

1. Why couldn't they be found? Don't boats and ships have beacons on them or location devices?
2. WHY were two millionaires on a private "for hire" tour boat instead of their own yacht??
3. Why did two millionaires bring several trunks of clothes for a 3 hour tour???
4. Why was a movie star wearing a sequined gown on a boat tour?
5. Why weren't all the smoke from the fires they made for heat and cooking ever seen by fishermen, cruise ships, or naval vessels?
6. If they were close enough to get a clear radio signal on that small transistor radio, SOMEBODY HAD to have seen them from one of the other islands or flying over, or crusing by.
7. How did their clothes stay so fresh and new?
8. Where did all the other clothes they wore come from?
9. WHY would a professor bring his LAB EQUIPMENT on a 3 hour cruise?
10. WHY was Maryanne SO FREEKING ADORABLE????

Because it's not real. It's fake. It's fiction. That's pretty much all there is to it.

Soon as you start trying to drag reality into something fictional thats a sure sign you need to stop because you've ceased to enjoy it. If you let reality invade something intended to enjoy and escape reality then you're not enjoying it anymore. Not every single thing needs to be cross examined and picked apart.

The people on this island were smarter than us. Who did they listen to? The Professor or the Millionaire? If they were MAGA idiots, they would have put all their faith in Mr. Howell.

Life imitating art

President Luthor is an event seen in several worlds of the Multiverse when Superman's nemesis Lex Luthor becomes President of the United States. This happened in the mainstream DC Universe, where Lex Luthor became the 43rd President following Bill Clinton (instead of George W. Bush).

I have a question​

The what and why of you being unable to understand entertainment

"Suspension of disbelief" refers to an audience's willingness to accept and overlook the implausible or fantastical elements of a story for the sake of enjoyment and immersion. It's an unspoken agreement between creators and audiences to temporarily set aside logic and skepticism

It must be a sad, little life when every topic, regardless of how whimsical, is viewed through the narrow prism of parochial politics.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Indeed, but the MAGA barbarians would pillage artistic expression as well.

"Enjoyment and immersion". The very definition of Gilligan's Island.

For me, it was in syndication. Early 1970's. I walked home from school, eighth grade. Gilligan's Island came on at four, and I got my one Sundrop of the day, at four. I was up against it. Homework, chores, reading. But for half an hour I could immerse myself in a fantasy. And the beauty of Gilligan's Island, you could be one of the castaways, and even that word, could you use it now? But you could also be one of the guests.

And yes, for a male, going through puberty, Ginger and Mary Ann were top of the list. Looking back, I ended up marrying both of them. But I have to give it up to Ginger, Tina Louise. I have a transgender friend. Male transitioning to female. He loves beautiful women, because he wants to be like them. He was a huge member of the Tina Louise fan club, and she knew it. At signings and appearances, she would call him up. She sent him private messages, communicates with him often. And yes, I should be saying her instead of him.

Gilligan's Island was sheer genius. The depth of the story, the seven deadly sins only a beginning.

Ginger loses every time not only because she was always covered head to toe in an ankle-length gown, but because she was vain and selfish. Mary Ann was the girl next door: sweet, giving and unassuming.

The only realistic thing on that show was that there were no rats.

You mean you didn't take serious the Howes bringing a suitcase full of prescriptions and millions of dollars, the professor bringing a library of science books, or a Hollywood actress bringing 450 changes of evening gowns all for a three hour tour?

That is about the dumbest analogy ever, I mean really stupid, I hope you are higher than a kite when you wrote this. That would explain your stupidity.

Elon got a little too cocky. He forgot most of his customers at Tesler are liberals who believe in climate change.

Are car insurance companies covering vandalism?

Who besides President Howell the 3rd has purchased a Tesler in the last month?
