OK, events have made the following discussion essential. This is one of those Ginger or Mary Ann thingies. Zsa Zsa or Eva? I will weigh in on this at the outset. I was totally and completely adoring of Eva. Don't even try to tell me that Zsa Zsa filled in for Eva on Green Acres, not even one episode. Simply not possible.

Neither one did a damn thing for me. Can I have Mary Ann instead or is that not a choice?

Que?

Orm,

A quintessential question asked of "red blooded American men" (RBAM) of our age range is the perennial "Ginger or Mary Ann?" Meaning, if you were stranded on a dessert island (or even if you weren't), would you prefer to avail yourself of the company of 'Mary Ann' or 'Ginger'-both roles from the popular television show "Gilligan's Island" from the 1970s.

Mary Ann is a rustic farm girl ("The girl next door") with homespun charm and good looks. Ginger hails from the Hollywood high finance set and is a sultry blonde.

My unofficial polling shows >80% of the aforementioned RBAM will choose Mary Ann.

Given the choice, Warspite1, being neither red blooded nor an American male keeps asking prying questions about the Skipper's personal life.

warspite1

Prying questions? My dear Chickenboy its called the art of seduction, a form of which that requires a degree of sophistication and subtlety that you wouldn't be able to attain if your life depended upon it. Yes, I must confess, after a few well chosen words in her delicate ear, the skipper and myself were getting along just famously......

Surely you must have some sort of equivalent Swedish comparative? Which of the two ABBA women? Which of the members of the Swedish bikini team? Something?

Not that I am aware of.

And I think the Swedish bikini team is a US invention with women from US.

I have to advise you of this. My mother, who was as total a teatotaler as there ever was, made this thing for guests which she called "Russian Tea". Now this was neither tea nor Russian, but everyone was on tinterhooks until it was served. She had a very nice silver tea service which she used for this. Essentially she took the leftover juice (if I might call it that) from cans of pears, peaches and whatnot and heated it up.

OK ... as long as she permitted said juice to ferment first!

I remember, somewhere in the '80s, being at a home game of the Cardinals, the visitors being the hated and despised Mets. 9th inning, bases loaded, Tommy Herr hits a walk off grand slam. Sweet.

As a Mets fan

I do have to admit that I really liked the Cardinals teams of the mid 80's,
they were fun to watch. I caught Cardinals opening day in '83 when I was in St. Louis to catch my MAC flight to Okinawa.
I went a few days early to explore the city and was in the Arch and noticed the traffic going to Busch Stadium,
walked over and got a nosebleed seat for the game. Had a couple of beers at a bar in LaClede's Landing (sp?)
afterwards and it was flooded for a couple of blocks up from the waterfront.

Though Ginger was a ginger, ie redhead. I never saw the appeal in high maintenance women and Ginger was definitely high maintenance.

I just looked up Gilligan's Island on IMDB for the heck of it and Ginger and Mary Ann are the one two from the cast still around.

It's amazing what it takes to get a forumite from 2006 who has a grand total of 125 posts thus far to post again. I don't remember specifically the flooding of that year but I do certainly of 10 years later. There was this Cajun restaurant I frequented name of Guidry's. It was not far from the river and in '93 it was somewhat under water at some point. I remember it being reported in the Post-Dispatch, with pictures, that they were harvesting crawdads from out of the floodwater, from inside the restaurant, and cooking them, and dare I say, eating them. That was just awesome. Needless to say, that restaurant never re-opened and I don't have a good place to go to get good Cajun or Creole. That is simply not acceptable but I don't know what to do.

Either Ginger or Maryanne would be fine. Both would be better.

Unfortunately with my luck, I'd be stuck on an island with some guy with a beard who belches, farts, picks his nose and scratches his backside.....or some gal with a beard who belches, farts, picks her nose and scratches her backside.

Actually this is my second login here on the forums, first one from 2004 got lost in the ether.
Always been more of a lurker than poster though, when I've had questions about this game the answers
for the most part have been already been given by some of the very knowledgeable people here.

Edit: Just did a search of the member list and my old login is still there

didn't realize that I'd joined

remember it... Would be nice to go back to that one.

Well put it this way Ormster. Mrs W is 4'2, has a humpback, a clubfoot, more body hair than bubbles the monkey, but with a receding hairline and suffers with a skin condition so bad that she's known as the Singing Detective (not to her face of course).

But hey, beauty's only skin deep right?

Well in addition to being somewhat "aesthetically challenged", Mrs Warspite is not exactly well read, nor is she particularly good at explaining things, given her lack of patience and notoriously sharp tongue and even hotter temper.

I did, rather absent mindedly, raise the question at the breakfast table one morning but was met with such a stream of invective that I have vowed, for the sake of my own well-being, not to bring the subject to the fore any more.

Mrs Warspite's considered opinion the Bismarck question

[Drags on her roll up cigarette] "Bismarck? Bismarck? What the **** is a ****** Bismarck? Eh? Just what is you ******** going on abaht nah you no good sack of ****.

Well I don't know too much about her family. There were some shady looking characters at the wedding but I didn't feel I really wanted to exchange pleasantries if you know what I mean.

Well put it this way Ormster. Mrs W is 4'2, has a humpback, a clubfoot, more body hair than bubbles the monkey, but with a receding hairline and suffers with a skin condition so bad that she's known as the Singing Detective (not to her face of course).

But hey, beauty's only skin deep right?

So she's from that alternate universe in the Twilight Zone episode?
