And now we get a character
who once would have seen this coming
and, in the current century,
would have been played by Alan Cummin.
The cardboard ‘Nut tells of danger,
coming out of the skies above,
but Hammond won’t give it all up;
it’s extra danger that he’ll love.
It’s all in their location,
the laws that they knew they would break;
And who thought that Doctor Hammond
would respect Law, for goodness sake?

And what’s a Pocky?

(EDIT -I note the filter has had a go at a certain Actor's name. I can see why so I'm 'typo'ing it.)

Ah. Looked up Pocky.

It's a chocolate dipped biscuit stick.

In the UK and the rest of Europe, they're sold as 'Mikado'.

Think so ... They're a versatile crew, aren't they?
And now I know why you need a "pocket-protector" - to store your "pockys". This comic is so educational!

And, yay, Tarot joins the cast. But who is playing Esteban? I must know.

Breaking laws always brings payback
This time it's a storm to give them a smack,
A massive amount of crazy hubris,
It's plain to see that this
Is what's going to botch the plan.

Don't delay the car tour,
A "wise" plan, well, that's for sure...
It would have been good to plan an escape route,
But from Hammond's reaction, one's existence is in doubt.
Hammond, yeah, you're crazy, man.
You're a wonderful person! You can do this! Yes, you, person reading this!

Eh, the weather forecast isn't helping... The Jurassic Park is right on an island accessible only with boats and helicopters... :? Nice to see Tarot also here. :) So, the park has been made there because of taxes and laws issues, that's typical... :P And wow, you'll do the car tour the same, how risky. :roll:

Maybe Grape has a collection, she is a cat after all, or maybe some of the participants brought some boxes to the Sandwich house.

They easily could have raided a recycling bin because they are bound to have a ton of cardboard.

Now we segue seamlessly into "Let's Imaginate: Gilligan's Jurrasic Park Island" as Gilligan (Tiger),Skipper (Bino),The Howells (King and Bailey),Ginger and MaryAnn (Sabrina and Daisy), and The Professor(GK) are washed up ashore. Lets watch as Peanut sings the theme song..."Now sit right down and you'll hear a tail(see what I did there?)A tale of a faithful trip...a combination of sitcom cheese and Spielbregian delight..."(etc etc)

You know, I think the series would have been a lot more better if they DID have dinosaurs on Gilligan's Island. :D
