An idea

[quiregrrl]

Is it just me who didn't know that the little raised patch of grass next to the footpath fountain at Taylor Square is called Gilligans Island??





Having only recently found this out, I am now finding myself really wanting to organise a flash mob of folks dressed as the characters from the iconic eponymous TV show to converge on Gilligan's Island, sing & act out the entire theme song and then depart again...


Gilligan


The Skipper too (Jonas "The Skipper" Grumby)


The Millionaire (Thurston Howell III)


And his wife (Mrs Lovey Howell)


The Movie Star (Ginger Grant)


And the rest*

(Professor Roy Hinkley)


(Mary-Ann Summers)

[yes perverts, Mary-Ann flags red bottom :)]


* I always thought it unfair that the Professor and Mary-Ann were relegated to "the rest" when everyone else got an individual mention... mind you, the Prof could build a radio out of coconuts but couldn't figure out a way to fix the boat so maybe he didn't merit a mention...

Aaaanyhow... I think I may have to try and organise this at some point... just for the sheer stupid frivolity of it! Anyone in?

You didn't? I have some recollection (many moons ago) that there was even a club there called Gilligans ...

[quiregrrl.livejournal.com]

Nope, I had no idea...

Gilligan's used to be the cocktail bar upstairs at the Oxford Hotel across the road, but I never knew there was a connection...

That would be fucking awesome!

Ohhhhh! sounds like fun!!!

Don't think I have anything to wear to match any of them though :)

It used to have a palm tree that metho drinkers would sleep under... the Council formalised the 'locals' name in the late 90s I think.

With that red bandanna top, I suggest Mary Ann is prepared to switch :)
