Holding his oar, just like Gilligan ...

Here's a clue. First name Alexandra.

Oh, and she's a British flagged ship.

Nope

She gets extra points for being in Forbidden Planet, though.

Any Canadians here? I was just watching a John Oliver show and he said "Canada is what you get when Britain and America have a baby and abandon it in the snow".

If she doesn't find the other strap I don't think you'll need to 'hunt' for anything. Can someone say 'wardrobe malfunction'.

If you look, I put the answer inside the quote. Unlike it usually is, this was no accident.

I wanted you to miss it and come up with more wrong answers. I succeeded so therefor I am a genius.

The Champions was a British production but it was televised in the US. I think it only ran one season because it was so stupid. These "Champions" were headquartered in Geneva and worked for the UN. The opening showed Lake Geneva with that silly fountain. Anyways in the first episode these guys crashed their plane in the Himalayas and bumped into some alien civilization who gave them special powers like ESP.

Maybe it was the Metrons.

As many of you may know, the US experimented with creating guided bombs using pigeons inside the bomb that were trained to peck at certain types of targets on a radar screen, namely ships. I have now perfected a mod that allows you to do the same thing, using a trained pigeon and your computer monitor.
If you wish to receive the mod let me know. You must capture and train your own pigeons, though. For a small extra fee I will send you a manual on how to do that. Wait, there's more! For another small fee I will include a monitor repair kit that also has everything you need to remove pigeon guano from you keyboard.

Imaginative...but pigeons are vulnerable to the falcon counter-measure.
The Germans used the more reliable parrot system, whereby the parrot would give voice commands.

My counter measure is called a storm window with a screen. Keeps the peregrines out and the pigeons in.

I think if I had it all to do over again, I would choose a career of teasing women's hair.

I might add the specialty of for women who want their hair streaked of doing that so that their heads don't look like chess boards moving at warp speed.

Here's a little favorite of mine, Suzanne Pleshette. You may remember her from Hitchcock's The Birds where she was one of the victims.
Anyways she played Bob Newhart's wife in The Bob Newhart Show which ran for six seasons. Bob Newhart was a straight man who didn't need a sidekick.
He could make anything seem hilarious. After that show he did the Newhart show, which ran for eight seasons. In it he was a New England innkeeper and the show was similar to Fawlty Towers except instead of John Cleese you had the straight man, Newhart, and nearly everyone else was crazy.
Anyways that show came to an end as all shows must, but this one had a twist. In the final episode Bob wakes up from a dream, the Newhart show and tells his wife, Suzanne Pleshette, who's in bed next to him, all about the dream where he was a New England innkeeper. It was flipping hysterical. In any case, I wouldn't mind waking up from a dream and find Suzanne Pleshette in bed with me.
