I had raunchy doggy-style fantasies about Mrs. Howell, including her foppish, impotent, pompous husband looking on. She had that "hot upper class lady" thing going... :excited:


Sorry... TMI.
I'm laughing whilst being creeped out, thanks Frank. :lol: :blueunsure:

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
I politely avoided the topic of her recent troubles with the law. We talked about the character archetypes on Gilligan's Island, and about the innovations of the producer Sherwood Schwartz.

I mentioned that we had just been talking about the show since there is a local commercial real estate agent named Gilligan with a lease sign on a local shopping center. She said "Ugh, what a terrible name to do business with!". She told me she'd be in Scottsdale in a couple of months for her high school reunion, and asked where the shopping center was, so I told her. :)

The dogma lives loudly within me.

What was so funny about him running into Dawn Wells yesterday -- the day before we had seen a real estate agent's sign named Gilligan. We thought it was funny and were talking about the show and the archetypes of the characters.

edit: Oh, I see IT beat me to it.

As a kid, Mary Ann was so much more accessible. She was the (hot) girl next door. You could relate to her. She's who you'd hookup with if you were on the island. Whereas Ginger was the tall, imposing, intimidating, ediface of womanhood. Hell, you didnt even know what half of her equipment was for! You'd break something trying to navigate that sucubus.

As an adult, the tables turn. One becomes clearer on the appeal of Ginger. Also, I found watching the show high as an adult is an entirely different experience. Its a whole new show. And its hysterical. The professor has the most incredible timing as a comic straight man, just unparalleled. Also, through those hooch tinted glasses, good god Ginger is a nympho! She's forever purring to be stroked. Always standing by some rock in the jungle in her beaded evening gown like a hooker trying to lure one of the men into satsifying her needs. You really dont quite get that as a kid. But as an adult, shees hose that woman down!!

Funny that so much more opens up when you pair the Gilli with the Gangi, since it turns out they were into that.

Phlebas - I had no idea the professor was Mary Ann's professor. Wow, that opens up new territory! :hair:

The weirdest part for me was the supply of clothes everyone brought for a 3 hour tour. Ironically, the crew were the ones who ought to have had their whole wardrobe aboard, whereas they were the only ones who wore the same thing everyday.

THANK YOU.

Saying you prefer Mary Ann because she's the cute, accessible girl next door doesn't make you sound wiser or enlightened because everybody freaking says that. I think we can all agree that of the two women, Ginger was much more forward. At some point in time she was coming on to everyone, prob'ly even Mary Ann. And c'mon, it's not like she was bad lookin'.

Ginger gets a bad wrap because "I prefer Mary Ann" has become the "right" thing to say.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

What leads you to believe I was trying to sound 'wiser or enlightened'? Just giving my opinion.

Dunno what set you off, but hope everythings ok at home.... :shrug:

I know man. This is just one of my favorite arguments about nothing. Everyone says they prefer Mary Ann, for the reasons already posted. It's like a sin to even admit Ginger's even attractive or something, and I guarantee you some people are lying to themselves about their preferences.

It's not a sin to prefer the movie star, for cryin' out loud. So she was more forward. Is that a bad thing? And don't give me inaccessible, you're on a deserted island.

Actually, I guess I've heard the question posed often enough, but I cant say I'm aware of any one argument being predominant like you say. Maybe too much hooch for me and the memory is going. :hair:

If there's a political sway to vote for mary ann, I dont know about it, but that aside, I do think it makes sense. Since we all discovered the characters as children. Whats a little boy gonna do with that mountain of a woman?? And as an adult, I have gotten horny for Ginger, but still you carry around that inner child who chose mary ann first. The cards are really stacked against Ginger (in spite of Ginger being really stacked herself).

(and inaccessible isnt meant as in physical access. Its meant as ability to relate and connect with)

But I think the BEST was when Mary Ann got knocked in the head and thought she was Ginger. When she dressed up in glamour wear and did the boop boop be doo stage show as Ginger. WOW! Hot as frick! Also in that episode, one of the funniest stoner moments, when all the guys were trying to teach Ginger how to walk like Mary Ann.

I know, but see I disagree with that. I think that's an unfair assumption and doesn't give Ginger enough credit on her part.

Hahah, can't say I've seen the show while high but I can definitely imagine how the dynamic would change drastically.

We used to peruse the church hymnals when we were high and ascribe naughty meanings to the titles of hymns. :lol2: Being high in church is a weird feeling, though.

I'm sooo going to Hell. :unsure:

Reminds me of a line from Arrested Development. Ira Gilligan, the accountant hated being called by his last name.

George Bluth: Gilligan has put the money into IRA's.
Ira Gilligan: It's Ira, sir.
George Bluth: Oh, sorry Gilligan... Gilligan has put the money into Ira's.

I never got high in church. Actually, I never really got into that stuff. But, I did smoke cigars with my best friend in a Sunday school room. I had keys to the church because I played the organ, so it was a good place to do untoward things after school. Man, that room reeked for weeks!!!

Although I can't weigh in on this from a guy's POV, I think that's an excellent analysis.
