Ah, but coincidentally enough, Gilligan's head on a pike is
exactly what the Professor needs to create a global
positioning system, a transmitter, and a yacht.

(Actually, I have a very good Belgian friend.  But I'll be 
sure to use this as ammunition to embarrass him by pointing

out that his countrymen are inept at recognizing bad 
American sitcoms from the '70's.)

Which is more embarrassing?  Not knowing the difference of
bad American sitcoms from the 70's or admitting that you
know why John Ritter pretended he was gay?

I would kick a lot of butt on You Don't Know Jack against
my Turkish friend.  I took full advantage of the fact that
I have nearly every Brady Bunch episode memorized (no
matter how many hard drugs I take to burn those synapses). 
He was a killer at Scrabble, though.  Americans take the
English language for granted, e.g., "Let me aks you
something."
