“Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
a tale of a fateful trip,
that started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship.”Gilligan’s Island – Gilligans Theme Song Lyrics | MetroLyrics
Now that you have the Gilligan’s Island theme song stuck in your head, too…
With so many tales to choose from, how can we pick just one? There’s a tale of two cities, a tall tale, a short tale, fairy tales, folktales. Enough tales to shake a tail feather at.
Looks like it’s time to get up and dance now.
Or if you’re feeling some Tina Turner.
Or if you’re feeling particularly spicy…
Come on now, get up and shake ya tail feather.
Doing a little couch dancing around here, and now my kids are horrified that their mom might do anything except cover her ears with this sort of sound pouring out of the laptop. (Just kidding, they’re at school, I’m not giving them that sort of fodder for future counseling sessions.)
Linda’s stream of consciousness prompt pumps up our Saturdays. This week’s prompt is “tale/tail.” Go on, y’all…shake a tail feather.

Gilligan’s Island was pretty good. The characters were a riot: the Howells, the Doctor, Ginger, Mary Ann, The Skipper, and Gilligan.

Craziest thing…they managed to make a long running tv show set in a single location. Story writing had to get pretty creative when you think about it!

It really would have to be creative and they were quite an ensemble weren’t they?

Funny…when I saw Linda’s prompt, the Gilligan’s Island theme song immediately began to play in my head. There’s nothing wrong with couch dancing or dancing of any sort, so please go ahead whether your kids are present or not 😀

Ha ha – play that scene from the Blues Btothers and say: “behave or we’ll do this at your graduation party.” I love that movie.
