A few days ago I posted the long lost original theme song to Gilligan’s Island. It has been pointed out to me that several things about Gilligan’s Island never made it to the general audience. Here’s another. I can’t imagine why it never made it?
Safe for work, if you want to try to explain it to your supervisor!

These are actual quotes by sports commentators on television. See if you can guess which sport they are referring to?
OK, 3 and 5 is are trick statements. But the rest are fairly sport specific.

This girl has been floating around the ‘net in many formats of late. First she showed up on a friend’s blog as a feature of the two reasons they came up with to live in Los Angeles. Now, according to my human resource director, she’s applying for a job at my small rural company in the middle of nowhere, Kentucky. I asked when she starts. This gal’s getting around a lot it seems. I’m not really sure why that is? But, if you have any other examples, I’m more than game to post them here. The internet is such a silly place.
Just gotta watch this. Totally creeps me out. There is extreme violence and indifference to pain and suffering that I can not imagine any human exhibiting. Not sure why I am posting this here. Something compels me beyond my resistance. I know I must tear myself away, but I just keep being drawn in farther. Must, click, off.
I tried to get Toys’R'Us to allow me to sell some of their toys due to occasional references I make here.
They turned me down. Imagine that?
One of my all time favorite songs has been around a while. Last Date by Floyd Cramer. Cramer recorded this song in 1960. It reached #2 on the charts and stayed in the charts through most of 1961. With this song, Cramer defined a new style of piano play called “slip note”, that little jump you hear from note to note in the melody. His songs were very polished by Chet Adkins production style. Together they developed a sound called “countrypolitan”. I liked that sound a lot. The music was more innovative and the recording was more involved while still allowing the musician to showcase their country roots. The sound and Cramer’s career were tethered throughout the 60’s and 70’s. As country music hit a very ill-defined and poorly managed stretch in the mid 70’s, Cramer’s career finally stalled. He stayed active in the music industry, establishing a music program at East Tennessee State University. At the end of 1997, Cramer passed away. However, Last Date is still played to this day, and I still love it.
Here’s my version. It’s basically the same as the original. Just got some more modern sounding instrumentation:
Floyd Cramer made over 50 albums. I’d suggest just starting out with his greatest hits.
Now, I did not know this, but the song everyone knows by heart that is the theme song to Gilligan’s Island was not the original song used. Every now and then, Collegehumor enlightens me to very important issues, and this is one of the biggest finds yet there, the ORIGINAL Gilligan’s Island theme song:
It was eventually rejected because the Minnow wrecked in the Pacific and Calypso music is from the Caribbean. Doesn’t really matter much to me, both songs are fun.
This weekend Miami, FL and Florida International got into a brawl of a football game. I mean that literally. Final score of the brawl was FIU 18, Miami 13. However, the final score of the game was Miami 35, FIU 0. FIU for the most part has played a powder-puff schedule, and lost every single game this year. Now, believe it or not, their line-up will be severely depleted, assuring that a team that can’t win, won’t. They may as well scratch this season and let the remaining players transfer to any school that would have them.
However, the biggest loser in this one IMO is Miami. Years ago Miami was a power-house that played all the biggest teams in the country and crushed most ruthlessly. Then it became kind of apparent the reason they were winning was because they could care less if their players ever attended a single class. And, they came accross as thugs. The NCAA stepped in, "corrected" the situation, and Miami was a power no more. Lesson given, to be successful, you had to check your ethics at the door. Lesson learned, flaunting the intent of college football will get you burned ( a lesson not learned at many schools, including Kentucky ). Although not the scary-bad team they were in the 80’s amd 90’s, Miami looks like it’s resorting to it’s old ways again. Look for the NCAA to get involved with this before it’s over.
I don’t know how to put this in words, it’s so awful. I was mortified. Needless to say, this is NOT to be seen by anyone under the age of 10! YOU ARE WARNED!
The Chairman of Disney released a statement that the persons involved in this event will be dealt with harshly.
