A formulaic, boiler-plate television show where the same basic plot or premise occurs each episode but in a different way, (i.e. The crew of the Minnow come up with a plan to get off the uncharted, desert isle, but Gilligan screws it all up.). Notorious examples are how-to shows where some contractor or contracting group comes to a house, shows a plan, does the work, and then, “Oh… my… God,” shows the owner the result. Other examples are Eureka, American Chopper, Curb Appeal, and Save My Bath.
You know, that reminds me of that one American Chopper?
Which one?
The one where they decide to create a really cool, one-off motorcycle, but they make sure not to give themselves enough time before they plan on showing it, so the dad and son keep getting into arguments, Vince does all the work, but somehow they manage to get the chopper finished in time for the show. And Mikey is just weird.
Oh, well that narrows it down a lot. That is a real Gilligan's Island show.

Get the Gilligan's Island show mug.A Riker’s Island green cup experience — A short prison experience designed to make a weak co-conspirator flip on his bosses and “rat up” — meaning inform our co-conspirators higher in authority and more deeply imbedded in the organization under investigation.
Tennis great Boris Becker just finished two years in prison and he said: “ It’s a different lifestyle; it’s a different world…The only currency you have is your character and your personality — literally — and you better make friends with the strong boys because you need protection , you need a group of people to look out for you”
To which I say: YIKES!!!!!!!!
If you are weak A Riker’s Island green cup experience will not only make you flip; it will also make you a gold medal winning judicial gymnast!!!!!!!!

A Riker’s Island green cup experience may have caused Allen Weisselberg to flip on Donald Trump. Four months is a real jail in theory is short time. As an actual experience, and facing more charges it’s actually unthinkable. Flip hell!!! Allen Weisselberg probably not only flipped; but is now also probably a gold medal judicial gymnast!!!!!

Get the A Riker’s Island green cup experience mug.Riker’s Island green cup — part of a basic personal kit an inmate receives upon entering Riker’s Island prison. This cup has a multipurpose function allowing an inmate to shave, brush his teeth, drink water, or make a hot beverage to drink — using prison ingenuity — while in his cell. Often when prisoners “graduate” — leave prison — they bring their green cup with them both as a memento and a reminder.
You don’t ever want to be put into a position where you have to use a Riker’s Island green up; or, to actually learn and experience how useful and versatile it is in the life of a prisoner.

Allen Weisselberg is drinking out of Riker’s Island green cup. Let him sip out of it for a bit; because If they sweat him a little and threaten him with more time; he may just flip on Donald Trump.
You know how they do new prisoners who don’t know how to jail; have no clout; and, no set to have their back. There is no such thing as soft time or short time on Riker’s Island.

Get the Melanie's Island mug.Arguably the best Nintendo game ever. First released in 1995 for the SNES as a sequel to Super Mario World, it has ever since been a cult hit, and has spawned two sequels, "Yoshi's Island DS" (2006), and the most recent one, "Yoshi's New Island" (2014). It's even rereleased for the Game Boy Advance, along with "Mario Bros.", in "Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3". Yoshi's Island is about a specialized green dinosaur (Yoshi) trying to get Baby Mario to reunite with his brother to go home. It has the greatest gameplay, music, and graphics of any Nintendo game. "Yoshi's Story" is a prequel, and "Yoshi Topsy-Turvy (Universal Gravitation)" and "Yoshi Touch & Go" are spin-offs of the Yoshi's Island era (The first three games in the Yoshi series, which are two puzzles and a shooter, are released before Yoshi's Island came out and changed the series). Nothing can ever beat the first Yoshi's Island, not even Minecraft or FIFA 14.
Touch fuzzy, get dizzy.
Yoshi's Island is better than Minecraft, Call of Duty, and Battlefield combined!

Don't bother emailing me the changes tomorrow. We'll be camping in the Adirondacks so I'll be on "Gilligan's Island" until Sunday afternoon.
