One more vote for the Professor.

[Zshot]

Remember the episode where they had the beauty contest...

as they were "training" the prof. had Mary Ann swim in the lagoon and he had a fishing line attached to the swimsuit...

Then the swim suit was "reeled off"...

Ahhhh, my favorite episide could have been sooo much better!!!

Comedian Paul Rodriguez, re: Gilligan's Island:

"What's wrong with Gilligan AND the skipper?

Why has no 1 nailed Maryanne yet?

If there was a chicano on that island, we

would have overpopulated it...

'yeah, Mary Ann! Yeah, Ginger!..

what the heck-bring Mrs Howell over...'

and this professor can make a radio out of

a coconut, but can't get their *** off the

island...."

[Pirate1974]

OK, all you Mary Ann fans. You don't want to miss out on this.

A pair of "authentic" Mary Ann denim shorts, signed on the back pocket by Dawn Wells.

Only $39.95 (!)

It doesn't say if they were actually worn by Mary Ann or not. Better hurry. Supplies are limited.

Dawn Wells has made an entire career out of being Mary Ann.

[Hopefull]

Smart is sexy.

One more for the professor.

[Yanagisawa]

I contend that Maryanne is winning by a landslide because, as red-blooded American males, (I cant speak for the women) we may fantasize about the luscious, dessert-like Ginger, but always come home to the meat and potatoes girl-next-door.

[firebee]

where did you find MaryAnnes shorts?

Have you told the whole story, or is there more to come?

My bid is $100.00

The prof is gaing ground in the vote tally!!!!

Thurston hasn't gotten a nod yet, Gilligan has a vote and so does the Skipper......

Ginger (no relation to our GingerTea) is hangin' in there

MaryAnne is kickin' some serious tail.........

but watch out for the prof...........if he can turn a coconut into a radio, the possibilities are endless

I wish I had a good story about how I got my hands on Mary Ann's shorts.

Unfortunately, the truth is not quite that interesting:

[firebee]

Ginger.....5

MaryAnne..........26

Mrs. Howell.....1

Skipper......2

Gilligan....1

The Professor.........5 write-ins!!!!

Is it the shorts or the midriff baring shirts that are giving MaryAnne the runaway vote?

PS. How many of you ladies voted for MaryAnne?

I voted for the Professor, honestly I did. Think ole protruding forehead Loy boy would smoke me outta the corpse for that

Actually, I would have liked to have talked to

whoever wrote the lines for the Professor.

There was this one episode, see....

(Warning: Star Trek nitpicker on-duty)

they found a "map" on how to get off the island..

The Professor studied it for the ocean current

info.

At the end of the episode, the Professor explained

how he had misinterpreted the map.

Professor, to Gilligan & the Skipper....

Prof: "..cuneiform, which was the oldest form

of writing, was invented by the Assyrians.

But I read it as though it were buoustrophedon,

you see?"

Gilligan: "Yeah, I see. I also hear pretty good,

too...But I didn't understand a word you

said."

Skipper:"I have to admit, Professor, some of those

words went over my head, too."

Prof: "Well, basically, all ancient forms of

writing went from right to left. I read

from left to right....."

---------------------------------------

It was when I was reading thru FF Bruce's

"The Scrolls & the Parchments", some years after

I saw that, that I next saw the word

"boustrophedon".

Boustrophedon neither "goes" from right to left

nor left to right. It keeps on going from

whichever side you stopped.

For example, say you wrote one line left-to-right,

like we do. At the end of the line-if you were

writing like boustrophedon-you would end at the

far right of the page, then begin the next line

of writing below that, on the far right, & write

across to the far left. The next line would go

beneath that, & go back from left (where the

last line ended) to the far right.

I don't remember if the word "boustrophedon"

translates into "turning" or a related word.

-------

I imagine that whoever wrote that line in the

script had no idea the show would reair enough

for someone to actually catch that line, &

realize it was wrong.

Daffy Duck:

"...leaning back on their balalaikas, playing

their samovars...."

(Really, Daffy? They leaned on their guitars while

playing their big teakettles? Shouldn't they

"lean back on their samovars, playing their

balalaikas"?)

--------------------------------------------

So, what's the current standings?

Will the winner face off against the winner from

another show?

(like that old commercial?)
