And don't forget that the captain was a veteran of the Pacific theater in WWII, back when the Navy paid as much attention to the Geneva Convention as the Japanese did on Luzon when it came to interrogatin prisoners...any question on how he maintained the loyalty of his "little buddy"? Michael, if you are dropping in and feel a bit confused, then you'd better do some research on afternoon TV, as a newly-minted American citizen, "Gilligan's Island" is part of your cultural heritage now. …not to mention the highly Freudian significance of those coconuts that Gilligan was always dropping and fumbling about.

Gilligan and Mary Ann, too obvious. Ginger's type always goes for the money. The Professor was a gynophobe, Ginger to threatening, Mary Ann too sisterly (freudian hang-ups there) plus he needed a benefactor. The Howells? there's a volume in itself. Thirston? old money, private boys school made for a loveless marriage and a cold bed. Mrs Howell wanted passion, yes...that's it. But who? Gilligan as pool-boy? Once again I'm going with...Just too fricken obvious. Ginger? Mary Ann?, there's some danger. Mary Ann, a nieve playthink. Do n't entirely bet on it, but she is the wildcard in this Rubics Cube of sexual highjinks. The Skipper? That ol' swabbie? From the gutters of Rotterdam to the brothels of Bangkok, animal-vegetable-or-mineral he'd do the Island. A three hour tour? An uncharted Island in the 1960's? A little buddie? Exotic visitors "stranded" yet always managing to leave alone? A passenger list that included money, glamour, the girl-next-door, etc... Am I saying it was all a setup? the "Skipper" had the muscle, Thirston the bankrole. Just thought I'd put that out there. @ Ralphieboy

During the last Presidential race I picked up a condescending elitist vibe from him. Was it just me? Perhaps I did n't apply myself at community college chef school (a man's gotta eat) and most my renters gots better stuff than me. My advice to Kerry, put some spam and velveeta on yer foot befor yous says what yous thinks. Hats off to Preis for keeping a lonely vigil. Along with RB. Like wheat, olives and wine, the trinity of mediteranean cuisine we have sustained this site. Enough. I gets sentimental when drinkin Nightrain and frying balony. Gots to send the old lady to Walmart fer another can o' Sterno. Kerry does seem to be wearing a long face, once again.

Nope, no Kerry jokes but heres a German Joke: A Turkish man gets on a train in Germany and sits down next to a little old German Lady. After a while they begin talking and the Turkish man starts saying that there are already 2 million Turks in the country and there will soon be 3 million and growing while the Germans are decreasing because of lower birth rates and goes on talking about how they will make Germany a muslim country and so on. When he's done the old lady turns to him and says: "There used to be 3 million Jews in Germany once" Kerry? you mean the most productive undercover Republican operative on Roves’ payroll?

After posting #34 it vanished. Post #26 was up the day I posted it, then it vanished for two days before reappearing. Maybe this should be named ‘Missing German posts’. After posting #34 it vanished.

If the missing Germans dont show up soon it will be christmas time and we wont hear from them for another two months. But since we have squatters rights anyway: looks like the Bundeswehr has made the news in the last couple days. One item the German press is buzzing about is a photograph of some Bundeswehr troops posing with a skull, probably in Afghanistan. In other news the Bundeswehr is undergoing its first reorganization since 1945 to turn it from a defense force to one that can be used as an international peacekeeping force.

He is now known as "Spewin' Ewan". Better hope that the Son of Jeb does not get caught relieving himself outdoors at a frat kegger, or he will get stuck with the monicker "George Pee on Bush"...
