Gilliganus? Comedy gold submitter!

 
valkore 2006-02-03 12:12:04 AM  
Trolling the ocean depths for decent headlines, are we? My balls submitted this with a better headline.

 
bkennedy 2006-02-03 12:13:27 AM  
I squinted hard, thought of bouncing ass cheeks, shot a better headline into a wad of tissue paper.

 
Mr_Smartypants 2006-02-03 12:15:42 AM  
Gilliganus sounds Roman.

giliganethes
giliganopolous

/wow, look at all those Grecian urns!

From dictionary.com:

Usage Note: The verbs founder and flounder are often confused. Founder comes from a Latin word meaning bottom (as in foundation) and originally referred to knocking enemies down; it is now also used to mean to fail utterly, collapse. Flounder means to move clumsily, thrash about, and hence to proceed in confusion. If John is foundering in Chemistry 1, he had better drop the course; if he is floundering, he may yet pull through.

//As far as you know.

I would like to hit Maryannus.

 
Nothing But Net 2006-02-03 12:17:42 AM  
Which brings up the eternal question:

Ginger or MaryAnnus?

 
trappedspirit 2006-02-03 12:17:58 AM  
Uh, submitter, Gilligan had absolutely nothing to do with the SS Minnow (A fine ship name) going down. It was the storm. This headline is an insult to Bob Denver and all that he represents. I now surround you with gunmen and demand appology.

 
Nothing But Net 2006-02-03 12:18:52 AM  
Damn you hexane, damn you to Hellas!

Am I the only amused that the oceanographic institute is named Woods Hole?

/I thought so

 
foo monkey 2006-02-03 12:23:21 AM  
Did oil hit the Gilliganus?

/got nothing.

adadkbar93: Gilliganus? Comedy gold submitter!

Except the Greeks don't use Latin/Roman names. Try "Gilliganopoulos".

My father was born and raised in Athens so I think I have a clue here. ;)

Mr_Smartypants: giliganethes

Has my vote.

 
Discordian36 2006-02-03 12:30:57 AM  
Shogun

Is that a warship foundering? Where's the pic from?

 
trappedspirit 2006-02-03 12:31:50 AM  
Yes, considering how much "Wood Hole" and an oceanographic institute have in common, the ranking on the clever scale for this one is...

"Beavis and Butthead"

 
Vandal7000 2006-02-03 12:32:37 AM  
There is a mildly humorous joke to be made by calling the Professor Archimedes.

/well funny for total geeks
//which isn't funny at all
///except when they snort, that's kind of funny

 
ZekeMacNeil [TotalFark] 2006-02-03 12:34:31 AM  
Are they sure it wasn't the Achille Lauro?

 
neelb420 2006-02-03 12:38:56 AM  
my bad

 
Good4u [TotalFark] 2006-02-03 12:39:02 AM  
Normally I tend to try and avoid bandwagon jumping but I've got to say...

submitter gets a big F MINUS for that headline, wtf was that? Grammar anyone?

 
Tenebreux 2006-02-03 12:39:30 AM  
Gilliganus = Latin.
Try again.

 
Vinyl 45LP 2006-02-03 12:40:58 AM  
If it was a Greek shipwreck, his name would be Gilliganos, not Gilliganus. Ramblings of a drunk classicist.

 
lollygaggers! 2006-02-03 12:42:40 AM  
Paedophile_Deluxe beat me to the grammar nazi thing.

 
Vinyl 45LP 2006-02-03 12:42:55 AM  
I guess I should have looked at the comments before posting my comment. I thought I was the only one who would make this "witty" comment.

 
lollygaggers! 2006-02-03 12:45:44 AM  
his name would be Gilliganos

and the Skipper would be...?

 
bounty 2006-02-03 12:46:36 AM  
Damn, I thought for sure submitter was gonna try to use "captain's log" there when I saw the word log...but didn't...well played...The double, double, reverse psychology.

 
trappedspirit 2006-02-03 12:51:09 AM  
It could be a Greek transforming into a Roman bumbling 2nd officer.

 
surfnazi 2006-02-03 12:52:34 AM  
I think the big question that no one has asked yet is, "Are they still alive?"

 
shogun 2006-02-03 12:52:44 AM  
Discordian36: Is that a warship foundering? Where's the pic from?

Google Image Search for 'ship sink'....

 
trappedspirit 2006-02-03 12:56:36 AM  
I thinking the bigger question no one has asked yet is, "Where did they bury the suvivors?"

 
LondosHair 2006-02-03 12:56:58 AM  
Was Submitter drunk?

 
Persepolis 2006-02-03 01:01:04 AM  
Farking greeks.

/also, theres that butsecks pic in almost everythread, but a thread that mentions anything related to the greeks, it should be obligatory.
//greeks suck.
///I'm still bitter over the battle at marathon.

 
LincolnLogolas 2006-02-03 01:04:59 AM  
Gilliganathos, please, he was Greek!

Naukleros.

Unintended Foundering In the Gilliganus?

 
tarvuz 2006-02-03 01:56:30 AM  
The Greeks stopped being Greek after THE Macedonian kicked ass. According to my Macedonian coworker.

And Vinyl 45LP even beat me to the Gilliganos smackdown.

This kind of thing isn't supposed to happen at 2 AM dammit!

 
sleekjunk 2006-02-03 02:07:31 AM  
Gilliganus...woo hoo!!!

 
panoplos 2006-02-03 02:36:32 AM  
"I'm still bitter over the battle at marathon."

I would be too. Id also be bitter about the 300 Spartans who wiped out the "immortals" at Thermopylae, and Alexander the Great spreading Hellenism throughout the barbarian Eastern Empire.

/Yes, im Greek.
