we never learned Gilligan's first name, but according to a book by producer Sherwood Schwartz, he and Bob Denver agreed that if one were needed, it would be Willie.
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.

I didn't even know where to begin with "strategizing" on the Ivy League question but was leaning toward Cornell. Looks like I made the right choice.

Of the Ivies, Cornell, Penn and Columbia get the least respect IMO (and I say this as a Columbia alum). The most famous are just as clearly Harvard, Yale and Princeton. It's interesting to see how the choices skewed on this question.

Re: TD 435 - Narrowing Nine (Final results)
Even with the last question being a mega sheep ... I WON?!?!? (I wasn’t surprised when I saw Des Moines sheep like crazy, but I was very surprised to see the final results as I kept scrolling down.) I’ve been playing these off and on for something approaching 10 years, and I’ve made the podium a handful of times, but never to my recollection taken the top spot. Thanks, clt013, for your excellent work in running what is now my favorite TD game. And congrats to the fellow boardies on the podium, especially my co-leader Ironhorse!

Re: TD 435 - Narrowing Nine (Final results)
Thanks for the TD. I'm very surprised to make 3rd place. I noted above that I was having a mediocre TD but it looks like everyone else was also.

I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.
