Lines from Gilligan's Island that live in my head rent-free on a weekly if not daily basis even when I'm not actively watching the show:

• *shoots the gun* "HALT or I'll SHOOT- oh hi Skipper!"

• "I just want an eensy, weensy piece of rope"

"How big is this eensy, weensy piece of rope?"

"6 feet"

• "Hi Gillig-"

"NO NO NO NO NO NO-"

• "Need more magic POWDER!"

• "Remember Gilligan, mum's the word"

"Hello Gilligan!"

"Mum"

"Don't be ridiculous, Gilligan, I'm not your mum!"

• "But Skipper I can't be on camera because if I'm on camera the whole world is gonna see it and if the whole world sees it then the whole United States is gonna see it and if the whole United States sees it then my hometown is gonna see it and if my hometown sees it then my brother is gonna see it and if my brother sees it, he'll punch me 'cause I'm wearing his shirt"

• "But before you go I have a little something for you"

"A chrysanthemum?"

"No, a .45 chrysanthemum"

• "I WON'T BE YOUR PUPPET I WON'T BE YOUR PUPPET"

• "If I'm not telling the truth may lightning strike!"

*lightning strikes just then*

• "What am I thinking about now, Gilligan?"

"You're thinking about a Hawaiian girl in a grass skirt- *disgusted* oh, Skipper!!"

• "FREEEESH FIIISH"

• *in a bad Dracula voice* "Hello, I am the VAMpire"

• "We don't have an alcove, you SHNOOK"

• "Crossing the English Channel was devilishly hard you see, it was take one step and come up for air and then take another step and come up for air-"

• "Don't I get a tip?"

"How much does 1+1 make, kid?"

*holds up two fingers* "Two?"

*sticks a cigar in between his fingers*

• every song from the Hamlet episode but particularly the Toreador March ("Neither a borrower nor a lender be" etc.)

• and of course just the way Gilligan says "SKIP-PEEEEEEER!" and "PROFESSOOOOOR!"

For decades, men and women have participated in the Marry-Anne of Ginger debate. But since we're dealing with Funko Pops and I intend to collect all seven, I said;

I also picked up the Cinderella pop in Disney's 100th Anniversary line from Funko. I plan on getting the others, but Cinderella's is just so pretty, so I went with her first.

"Alouette" is a popular Quebecois children's song, commonly thought to be about plucking the feathers from a lark. Although it is in French, it is well known among speakers of other languages; in this respect, it is similar to "Frère Jacques". Many US Marines and other Allied soldiers learnt the song while serving in France during World War I and took it home with them, passing it on to their children and grandchildren.

Happy 90th birthday to the fabulous actress, singer, Playboy playmate, Frederick’s of Hollywood catalogue model and alluring atomic-era sex kitten Tina Louise (née Tina Blacker, 11 February 1934). Louise is, of course, best remembered for portraying movie star Ginger Grant on the 1960s sitcom Gilligan’s Island (and following the death of Dawn Wells – aka Marianne – in 2020, she’s the last surviving cast member). Show biz lore holds that the role of Ginger was originally offered to (and rejected by) Jayne Mansfield, but Mansfield’s most recent biographer Eve Golden says she found no evidence of this in her research (and argues “for one thing, Jayne rarely turned down a paying job – certainly not one that would turn into a three-year gig)”. And as Gilligan creator Sherwood Schwartz always maintained, “I knew I wanted a gorgeous tall redhead. Why red, I don’t know but that’s what I wanted.” The admirably durable Louise played Appassionata Von Climax in the Broadway production of Lil’ Abner, released an album of tinkly cocktail jazz (It’s Time for Tina) in 1957 and later made a vivid impression as one of The Stepford Wives (1975).
