Would you relocate to Gilligan's Island if you had the chance?

[raccoon]

I would!

[patricia92243]

1. I can't think of even one reason why anybody would. n/t

[taterguy]

2. Because some guys would want to be stranded with MaryAnne of course

[cloudbase]

19. Darn tootin'!

Keerist, I'm getting old.

[seemunkee]

4. fish, coconut, mangoes and a weekly visit from some natives

or some other wacky character. Sounds like fun to me.

[raccoon]

5. No reality TV, for one thing.

You could forget about the current administration...

[Nickster]

3. Funny, I actually went to the island that they used in the opening shots

of Gilligan's Island. It was a great place to picnic and swim, but I wouldn't relocate there, too many tourists.

[AllegroRondo]

6. Only if it was like the TV show.

plenty of food and water, decent living spaces, nice weather, the occasional entertaining escapade. Not bad, actually. And the radio always worked.

[Throwing Stones]

21. I'd go, but I'd probably get voted off the island

what, with trying to redistribute the Howell's wealth and all.

[Beausoir]

7. Not with that huge crazy spider that lives in that cave.

[Bunny]

8. Oh, I could definitely hang with The Professor!

He's such a hottie!

[wildhorses]

12. isn't he just

:loveya:




















hoss or the professor...decisions! decisions!

[Bunny]

13. Hmmm..

Why not both? :think:

[Book Lover]

9. This post reminds me of a joke...

"I grew up in a little town in West Virginia, and let me tell you, Doc, if you only have a year to live, move there."

"Why?"

"Because every day is like a freaking eternity!"


(with all due apologies to folks from VW, etc, etc...)

(ps - I think it would be a nightmare to live on Gilligan's Island)

[raccoon]

15. Sounds like Brigadoon. nt

[meegbear]

10. You bet! You can never have enough banana cream pies!

:thumbsup:

[Joe Fields]

11. Only if Ginger and Mary Ann come with the deal.

[Javaman]

16. no Ginger. Maryanne and Jennie. (I dream of...) now that's some must see tv. LOL nt

[Joe Fields]

20. No, must see would be you and Mrs. Howell. lol

[Javaman]

25. aaahhhhhh!!! that thought just burned a hole through my head...

:scared:

[KamaAina]

14. What the hey. It's closer than the mainland!

I seem to recall them saying "250 miles from Hawai'i"; the mainland is at least 2,400.

[Maine-ah]

17. HELL YEAH!!!

:woohoo:

[NewWaveChick1981]

18. I might.

I mean, it'd be getting away from it all. :shrug:

[guitar man]

22. in a hot minute

:evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin:

[Cobalt-60]

23. Absolutely

A tropical paradise where I could study under the professor, drink in the vision of Mary Anne and Ginger, hang with the Skipper, Gilligan, and the Howells?
I'm off!

[chknltl]

24. Can I take my Hi-Def TV and my X-Box 360

...and do I get Mary Anne too? (If not, I'll trade her for a cable modem.)

[realisticphish]

26. depends

are Mary Anne and Ginger the age they were THEN, or the age they are NOW?

Just asking ;)

[InvisibleTouch]

27. You bet.

I used to watch the show as a kid, and never could figure out why they wanted to be "rescued." There they were in a tropical paradise, secluded from the world, self-reliant, no one to hassle them - why on earth did they keep wanting to leave? It seemed like that island was big enough that they could each have their own little private corner if they got on each others' nerves.

Then again, my priorities have always been a little bit different than everybody else's.
