A case alleging that Dodge City's police
chief poached deer has been sent to the Kansas Attorney General's
Jeff Wagaman, deputy chief of staff in the office, says a
decision on whether to file charges against Robert James should be
made within 30 to 45 days.
The investigation began in December when a landowner reported
someone was setting up a deer stand and using a spotlight, which is
illegal when hunting deer. Officers were called back the next
weekend where a deer had been shot.
A wildlife officer turned over his investigation on Tuesday to
Ford County Attorney Terry Malone. Citing a possible conflict of
interest, Malone forwarded it to the attorney general.
James continues to work.

So what would have happened had Bowlmor not swooped in to rescue AMF Bowling Worldwide, Inc., from bankruptcy last year?
That was one of the interesting parts of International Bowling Industry magazine's interview of Tom Shannon in its May issue.
Shannon is now the chief executive officer, chairman and president of Bowlmor AMF, the result of the merger of the two companies in July. Before the merger, Shannon was the CEO of Bowlmor, a chain of six upscale bowling houses known for its Las Vegas-style sports look and laneside food and drink service.
It turns out that Bowlmor was the only company to come forward willing to bid on AMF, which had fallen into bankruptcy for the second time in 10 years.
Shannon told the magazine that Bowlmor became interested in AMF "as soon as they filed for bankruptcy."
And what would have happened had AMF not found a partner to bail it out? Shannon told the magazine that he expected AMF would have had to liquidate its assets.
That means AMF would have had to sell its bowling centers or, more likely, just close them. And that would have resulted in thousands of lost jobs.
It's no secret that bowling houses have been closing every year across the country because of the financial difficulties they face.
Just recently, examiner.com reported the five-year anniversary of the closing of Rocket Bowl in Chatsworth, a true landmark that had brought bowlers and the social crowd to its grounds for 47 years.
And Rocket Bowl hasn't been the only area bowling center to close. Top bowler Johnnie Englehart recalls several dozen centers falling off the map for one reason or another.
His list included: Reseda Bowl, Granada Bowl, Victory Lanes, Encino Bowl, Valley Center/West Valley Bowl, Northridge Lanes, Rocky Mountain/Belair, Mar Lindo, Verdugo Hills Bowl, Grand Center Lanes, Sherman Squire Lanes, Burbank Bowl, Van Nuys Bowl, Bowlerland, Sunland Bowl and Panorama Bowl.
Quite an extensive list.
And when one considers it could have grown by all those AMF bowling centers if they were forced to close, it really would have marked a dark day for bowlers.
That's not to say that Bowlmor's appearance on the AMF scene has pleased everyone. Many AMF league bowlers have been disgruntled because they feel they haven't received the support they have in the past.
And they've shown that discontent by exiting for other bowling centers.
But the fact remains: AMF bowling centers still offer league play on most nights. And they still are trying vigorously to hold on to their league players and make them happy.
Better yet: the AMF centers still exist – despite some trying financial conditions.

Is it a general concensus that if you were put in an irritated state on a single antidepressant after the dose was increassed, you were diagnosed as manic. Bipolar I? No need for hospitalization. Then what if you suspected it was the antidepressant and besides being on one you are a normal functioning individual at all times, it was the anti depressant? Happened during on other trial also after increases of dose. After a period of 11 months medication free/talk therapy free and also alcohol/drug free you are still a normal functioning individual is it positive it's the antidpressant and not a diagnosis of bipolar. Any info would be very appreciated as The psychiatrist that diagnosed me will not give me clearance and he is holding up my options of certain descisions. This diagnosis is impacting something I really want to do with myself and I need clearance from this particular doctor. Had two other medical professionals see me during these times and they say NO I don't have it. But he is the one that reported it to me medical doctor hence in a permanent record. 11months medication free?

The 34th Annual Watts Towers Jazz Festival, along with the 29th Annual Watts Towers Day of the Drum Festival, promises to turn the last weekend of September into a two day celebration of virtuoso music, vivid art, and irresistibly gorgeous food. Did I mention the events and the parking are free? The beloved yearly Festivals returns stronger than ever despite concerns earlier this year that state funding might have run out for the Watts Towers Arts Center. Instead, Artistic Directors Rosie Lee Hooks, Patrice Rushen, and Munyungo Jackson have assembled an exceptionally spicy mix of local talent with Bona fide Jazz Legend Randy Weston making a rare West Coast appearance.
Weston will be celebrating his 85th birthday and the publication of his autobiography. Although he began playing professionally in the forties, the esteemed pianist/composer established his musical Identity in the sixties as he began to prominently integrate African elements and motifs into his music. HIs elegant informed Afrocentricity influenced generations of musicians, and his compositions have been widely recorded.
But, that's Sunday. The Saturday Drum Festival presents a Drum and Percussion Summit, bringing together international percussion sensation Babatunde Lea, former Weather Report, Miles, Herbie, and MJ drummer Ndugu Chancler, and the versatile and well traveled Munyungo Jackson.
Opening the show, Danza Mexica Cuauhtemoc will explore ancient Mexican traditions. The Drumline Challenge pits Centennial High against Washington Prep in a hard driving percussion competition. The universality of percussion ensembles is further illustrated by the Japanese American group Taikoproject, and the drums, dances and songs of Senegal as presented by Balle Fette Bu Senegal. Fausto Cuevas y Sus Compadres bring the Afro Cuban heat. Hand drumming icon Big Black will perform his Black on Black Environmental Rhythms.
Sunday's lineup includes opening with a Yoruba ground blessing from Alaadun before the erudite Harold Land leads his trio in a tribute to the great Nate Morgan. A young quintet representing UC Berkeley's Young Musicians program will make its debut. Then, Babatunde Lea returns with a quintet that includes Gary Brown, former Rolling Stone Ernie Watts, Patrice Rushen, and Dwight Trible. Since this same ensemble recorded Lea's beautiful tribute to Leon Thomas, Umbo Weti, one can only hope we'll be hearing several songs from that collection.
Rushen returns to do double duty, this time with the Jazz Mentorship Program All Stars, which also call Ndugu and Munyungo back to the stage along with the sublime Benny Maupin, Jeff Littleton, and Dr. Bobby Rodriguez.
In this economy, you will not find a better or more effortless collection of musical greats performing all weekend in a more comfortable outdoor picnic setting. And did I mention it's FREE? For more information call 213-847-4646, or visit myspace.com/drummjazz.

How To Ruin a Good Wank
Ok, so there I was last night trying to get my wank on with some pron and everything's going fine, until i read one of the comments and the guy identifies the girl as a suicide from some TV show, and that was it, the wank was ruined... Not because she offed herself, but because now I had to find out just who the fcuk it was and if it was true, and sure enough there it was... Seems the crazy b!tch had killed her son and was under investigation. They also uncovered a bunch of pron tapes to boot and the case was never solved as the kids body hasn't been found, but i think it's obvious she did it... Anyway, her name was Melinda Duckett

I can't get off if I know that the subject isn't alive anymore - even if it's someone 'classic' who died a long time ago. Not only would I be soiling my pants, but soiling their memory too. I'm sooky like that.
Brittany Murphy, for example. There's no way I'd ever think of her in that way again. I just can't.

A while back, I had a day off from school, so I stayed up all night and slept till about 2pm.
I remember waking up with wood, getting ready for a wank. I turn on the TV to get a porn ready.
But there was crazy stuff going in the news, I couldn't even think about masturbating.
I looked at the calender, it was 9/11/01. I was only 19 back then.
Have fun wanking boys.

Football season is here, and you all know what that means! Bar-b-ques, get togethers with friends, drinks, and also, for those so inclined, visits to the local sports bars to watch the games.
In Walnut Creek, there are plenty of options. One of my favorite places thus far to go to is reviewed below.
Welcome to the Stadium Pub - located at 1420 Lincoln Avenue, Walnut Creek, CA.
This family friendly bar boasts the following features:
- 47 T.V. Screens
- 3 Big Screen Projectors
- Outdoor Seating
- Full Menu
- Full Bar Licensed
- 23 Draught Beers
- Great Belgian Beers!
They are open 7 days a week, which should please any sports fan! The hours are as follows:
Monday - Thursday: 11am - 11pm
Friday - Saturday: 9am - 1am
Sunday: 9am - 9pm
Their food menu is pretty good, considering it's a pub. Besides the traditional staples you would find at a pub, like fish & chips, burgers & fries, etc, you can find other selections of a different variety. For example, they have some of the best tasting ribs I've had at a pub! If you are hungry and don't mind the mess of bar-b-que sauce, get these ribs, as they seriously are tender and tasty!
The atmosphere isn't horribly loud, other than when people are cheering (or booing) the results of their particular teams, but with seating at the bar, around it, but also outside, you have plenty of options to enjoy a game, good food, and some decent company among friends.
So check out the Stadium Pub this season and see what you think of it!

The Daily Mail will now spin it and report of tax payer's money (Gift Aid contrib) being handed over to foreigners.
Hats off to "DMReporter" who created a spoof Twitter feed for Liz Jones's trip to Somalia to cover the famine. For those not conversant with Jones' unique brand of self-obsessed, humanity-hating columns suffice to say that even Daily Mail readers occasionally feel the columnist needs medical help. Her recent work detailing her …
The Daily Mail will now spin it and report of tax payer's money (Gift Aid contrib) being handed over to foreigners.
Her article on getting the jabs for Somalia was hilarious. Complaining that she couldn't get the jabs at short notice at a surgery she wasn't registered at who didn't know here medical history.
Punctuated with typical "I didn't pay my taxes for these jobsworths to tell me what to do" type nonsense.
...there's brief summary here
What Mrs Jones (Miss? Ms? I don't know.) fails to understand is that, even if we had a completely private healthcare system, she wouldn't have been able to just waltz in to her doctor's office the day before leaving and demand jabs without providing medical records.
She's actually a very good example of the entitlement mentality that causes so much trouble.
I think it was the NHS rant she did the other week, where she complained bitterly that the local NHS doctors surgery wouldn't let her queue jump for Hep A and Hep B jabs the day before her trip to Somalia that bought the insane old harridan to the attention of those of us normal enough to never venture to the Daily Mail's website.
Good work though. I'm sure a lot of other celebs would see the joke and match the donations, so how about it Liz?
You missed how the only reason she had to go to the NHS was because she f**ked up with her private healthcare. She managed to piss off the "jobsworth" receptionist further by explaining that she didn't need to be registered and that they couldn't possibly require her medical notes.
Waste of oxygen, turns into an (accidental) fundraiser - I'm torn!
This t-shirt says it all really
Captured the tone and sense of self-importance of that mad woman perfectly.
Would have given her a homeopathic vaccine and told her she was vaccinated against everything.
I'd never heard of this woman until now, but she's just fantastic
All this time I thought these people were exaggerations so lefties (myself included) could poke fun at Mail readers. But they actually exist, and they're so much worse than I imagined! And then they send her to Somalia to cover a famine?!? Sweet Jesus, it's like Christmas in August.
She's not left or right, she's the Axis Mundi.
Very funny. Poking fun at the Daily Fail *and* all for a good cause!
Donation sent.
The tweet about people thinking she was Princess Di was p[articularly amusing.

Character bio: Bender Bending Rodriquez age: 1057 (Head), 4 (Body) job: Ship's Cook voiced by: John DiMaggio Bender is a Unit 22 Bending Unit and was his mothers 1729 th son. His father was killed by a can opener. Comprising of 40% Zinc and 40% Titanium he later attended Bending State college where he majored in Bending and minored in Robo-American studies. He became a legend for his pranks while being part of the house Epsilon rho rho. He then took up a successful career in bending Girders but tried to kill himself when he found out they were for suicide booths. He was saved by Fry and later took up the job of ships cook at Planet Express. His other pastimes include watching TV, smoking cigars and stealing. To be able to function properly he needs the chemical energy from alcohol, so excessive drinking is mandatory or he will become sober and unable to control his body. Magnets stuck to his head make him sing like a folk singer. Actor bio: An actor well-known in animation circles, Billy West is one of an increasingly popular breed - actors heard but not seen. Tops in the voice-over business, some of West's most famous voices include those of Ren & Stimpy, Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in the feature film Space Jam and the official voice of Woody Woodpecker, as well as years of providing celebrity voice impersonations on The Howard Stern Show. Some of his animated projects include: Histeria!, Catdog, Detention, Voltron, Rayman, Project Geeker and Men in Black. Amongst other things, West has been the in-show announcer for the Screen Gems Network, the voice of George Jetson for Radio Shack, Marfalump for the Pepsi/Star Wars ad campaign, various claymation characters for Brisk Iced Tea and the Red M&M for the millennium M&Ms campaign. A self-proclaimed Mel Blanc devotee, West recalls that even as a very small child he would listen to people's voices on the radio and imitate them. His big break came in 1988, when he landed the role of Cecil in the cartoon Beanie and Cecil. From there, he was noticed by the creators of Ren & Stimpy, who brought him on to portray the dim-bulb feline, Stimpy; later, he also took over the role of the psychotic chihuahua Ren. It was at that time that he supplied an array of outrageous characterizations for The Howard Stern Show.

UFC fans can't resist a great fight on PPV on a Saturday night. On Sunday, Fox Sports shared how Brock Lesnar is really worried about his friend Pat Berry's health. He is so concerned that he tried to convince UFC President Dana White to force him to retire. He wants him to put his health first.
Pat has not been fighting in the UFC lately but has still been doing kickboxing. Of course this is enough that he could get injured again. Pat Barry has dealt with some head trauma over the years. He was knocked out in a fight a couple of years ago. After that Dana White spoke out saying, "Brock Lesnar called me and begged me to make him retire. He said 'I don't consider too many people my friend, and I consider Pat Barry a friend, Dana you've got to get this guy to retire'. I said listen he's a grown man, Brock. What am I going to do, there's only so much I can do."
A doctor may decide to make Pat Barry retire at some point. They want to make sure that they are financially secure before the give up the sport they love so much. It is also their career and the way they put food on the tables. White isn't forcing Pat Berry to retire, but of course he will talk to him about it if he needs help making a decision.

College Hockey:Halfer's Hat Trick Lays Groundwork For Connecticut College Win
Coleman Nets Game-Winner Shorthanded In Third
AMHERST, Mass. — Connecticut College senior wing Pete Halfer scored three goals and junior defenseman Matt Coleman added the shorthanded game-winner with 9:50 remaining as Amherst lost to the Camels 5-4 Friday.
The teams spent most of the game on the power play, with 21 penalties called for 58 minutes. Amherst rallied from a 3-1 first-intermission deficit with two goals in the first 1:35 of the second period, and after a Connecticut College goal, the Jeffs tied on a goal from senior tri-captain Chris Orszulak with 4:39 left in the third.
Amherst junior forward Darren Reaume had a goal and two assists in defeat, while senior defenseman Jim Smith added a goal and an assist. Sophomore center Mike Hasenauer had four assists for the Camels.
Connecticut College first-year goalie Brett Roth, making his first career start, turned away 34 Amherst shots.

Today we'll be examining another entry in the growing trend of "moonshines" on the market by Midnight Moon. You may remember my previous reviews of their strawberry and apple pie flavored products. This one is of the unflavored variant. By this point, I'm certain I don't need to explain what moonshine is to any of my readers. That said, we'll proceed directly into the review.
I'm honestly a bit disappointed here. Although I knew this was the base of the flavored products and is the formula of a family that were actual moonshine runners, moonshine this is not. You'll probably remember that I explained in the previous two product reviews that Midnight Moon distills their spirit more like a vodka than a corn whiskey. I had no idea to what degree that held true until I tried this. The nose smells exactly like that of a standard vodka on the market. There is nothing at all that screams this is a traditional sugar or corn based moonshine as someone buying it for that reason should expect. There was a faint hint of corn in the nose, but that was it.
The flavor is similar as well. There is a faint base note of corn ethanol, but again I have to point out, moonshine this is not. In the interest of being fair, if this was marketed as vodka, I would have given it a much higher review as it tastes clean and smooth. Unfortunately, it is not being marketed as such, and as moonshine it falls flat on its face. I hope Junior Johnson's marketing department reads this article and comes to the realization that it is disingenuous to sell something that is clearly one thing as another completely different thing. I picked up a 750 ML bottle at Spec's Wine, Spirits, and Finer Foods here in Houston for 16.83. Whether you do should be dependent on what your expectations of it are. Don't buy this if you are expecting corn whiskey, that's for certain.
Rating: 1 out of 5
Suggested Tasting Method: As replacement for vodka in any vodka cocktail or chilled neat.

I believe the php.ini file is to blame but I do not have the understanding necessary to repair.

OC legend resident ASRock guru, Nick Shih, has been frolicking his magical overclocking fingers over a new motherboard, the ASRock Z87 OC Formula. The Haswell-based motherboard has been spotted through a new photo, just a tease of things to come.
There are no details on the motherboard, but one would gather that it was put under some overclocking pressure at CeBIT, and should be fully unveiled at Computex in June. Enthusiasts and power users alike won't have much time to wait, with under three months left until the big event in Taipei kicks off again. You can be sure we'll be covering Computex and the huge Haswell launch from all vendors very closely, so watch this space!

Specializing in Luxury & Lakeside Properties.
Fannin Professional Services & Window Cleaning operates on the high end of the spectrum. We provide a custom service to every property, knowing that each one is unique. Fannin Professional is the most prestigious service of its kind. Specializing in Custom Tempered Glass, Luxury Homes, Lakeside Estates, Pella Storm Windows, and 4+ story homes.
Offering more than just a window washing service, our highest goal is customer satisfaction and property maintenance. From window cleaning, window blind cleaning and gutter cleaning to wood polishing, pressure washing and caulking, our service provides the highest degree of diligence and care.
All properties are thoroughly inspected for problematic elements and reported during all services performed. Safety of your property as well as those in and around the property is our highest concern. Fannin Professional Services operates with safe equipment designed to perform work without damage and leave an unmatched level of service. Full Liability Insurance so you can rest easily!
Professional Window Cleaning
Window washers typically clean the windows only and skip the frame and sill, especially if the window is in an area that usually is not visible. Our Professional Window Cleaners start by brushing spider webs, knocking down dirt daubers' and wasps' nests around the window first, next the window frame scrubbed down and cleaned. Then, the window is cleaned with non-abrasive tools and a simple soap and water mixture. After the window is finalized, the dirt and remaining soap and water is cleaned up leaving the sill and tracks just as clean as the frame and windows. Water is a resource, and Fannin Professional Services is so Eco-Conscious that they pour any remaining water from the buckets on trees and grass. Don't fall for advertising gimmicks like "waterless window cleaning" or "water fed poles make them cleaner." All it takes to clean a window is the right tools and some elbow grease.
Rain Gutter Cleaning
When it comes to Rain Gutter Cleaning, safety is the highest concern. Using equipment that is designed to prevent damage is a must! Fannin Professional Services is equipped with ladders that will not damage your roof, gutters, or walls. Gutter and Downspout cleaning is not always as easy as one might think. Depending on the Roof type (metal, shingle, ceramic or tile) and pitch, the safest way is not always easy. Our Professionals have experience to make the best decision for every situation. It is important to have Rain Gutters checked on a routine basis to prevent unwanted damage, pests, and smells.

Try Ram's Duty Free at Jalan Ampera Raya corner Jalan Pejaten Barat, Jakarta Selatan.
Hi friends,
Where can i find jack daniel in jakarta ? Any Liquor Shop in sudirman or is it available in malls like Ambassador or Sogu
i just saw some malls name onine and Ambasasdor is one of them
Try Ram's Duty Free at Jalan Ampera Raya corner Jalan Pejaten Barat, Jakarta Selatan.
can indonesian buy at dfs? been wondering about that and is it that much of a difference, price wise i mean..
yes they can. it is slightly cheaper.
If you want JD, JB or SC, and do not mind to pay the duty, and don't want to travel far then opposite Grand lucky supermarket, (not far off Jl Sudirman, close to Semangi Driving range,) there is a small shop that sells all of these and sometimes other Bourbons as well.
Just park in the Grand Lucky car park, the shop is opposite the entrance to the store.
Not as cheap as DF but they always seem to have stock.
officially unless you have diplomatic status you are not entitled to buy DF, but of course this is Indonesia and sometimes you can, sometimes you cannot
As a stranger give it welcome.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy

Android Honeycomb is set to raise the bar a fair bit with syncing music on your Android-handset to the cloud, impressive, eh? It has even been tested by syncing music to the cloud, removing the Android's SD card with a new one, and then tapping "stream music" which will stream your tunes from the cloud.
This is a great addition to any Android users phone, in the case of a damaged or lost phone, being able to sync directly from the cloud has many benefits. But what of pirated music being stored on the cloud? Would people feel safe with their illegally-obtained Britney Spears mp3's sitting on Google servers somewhere in the world? I hope you wouldn't... Hold It Against Me, if you'll pardon the pun. (Britney fan #41413 signing off).

A post Christmas present for homeowners
If you're like most people, by now Christmas 2012 is just a faint haze in the rearview mirror of your life. But whether you know it or not, all homeowners received an after Christmas gift in the form of a little more equity tied up with a nice fat bow.
Everybody in finance and the real estate industry waits for the monthly Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20 city index of home prices. The report that came out right after Christmas was the strongest since 2006, showing a 4.3 percent increase in residential home prices from September to October of 2012. Even more impressive is that since January, sale prices are up 6.9 percent, which is the largest year to date gain since 2005. These numbers were so good they beat the projected increase for the September to October comparison of 4 percent.
A separate index released the same week by Lender Processing Service, Inc. showed that national home prices were up by 5.2 percent for the year 2012 through October. All of this news is encouraging after there were several previous artificial starts to the real estate recovery, but since spring the market has gained speed and has held on to it. Real estate professionals and economists are optimistic that this is showing a sustained market recovery that appears to really be the turning point this time.
Helping the market along are the continued low interest rates, which are turning some renters into homeowners. With rents steadily going up and fewer rental units available, monthly rental rates are climbing. The monthly average rental rate across the country was $1,044 in October of 2012, which was up 3.7 percent from a year ago. Although banks still have high lending standards with strict appraisals and even stricter income histories for borrowers, they do have money to lend and are promoting home mortgages. In addition, they have been more aggressive at modifying loans and moving potential foreclosaures into sales by approving more short sales.
Also helping fuel the market is a sudden and unexpected low supply of homes available. A combination of homeowners keeping their properties off the market and anemic new home construction are both contributing to record low inventories. Some areas of the country are experiencing multiple offers with properties frequently selling above asking price.
Some of the hardest hit regions in the country analyzed by Case-Shiller show very high increases in selling prices that may be unsustainable going forward with growth rates expected to level off in 2013.
For example, Phoenix, which was 46.2 percent down from the market peak, is now showing a 21.7 percent increase from a year ago. Miami, which was 46.6 percent down from the market peak, is showing an increase from a year ago of 8.5 percent. Detroit, down 37 percent from its market high, is now showing a 10 percent increase from a year ago. And Las Vegas, which was down 57.3 percent from its peak market is showing an 8.4 percent increase from a year earlier.
However, even if the appreciation rates do experience a flattening out, with rents going up and more buyers running after fewer homes, we could still have a very positive outcome for homeowners who are ready to test the waters.
So if Santa didn't bring you exactly what you wanted on Dec. 25, maybe what Case-Shiller brought you on Dec. 26 has softened the blow. Besides there's always next year.

How far can progress march in a 15 year span? If one compares any video game released today with Bandai America's 1989 offering, Adventures of Gilligan's Island, the answer should be measured in eons. It must be justified up front that the only reason to play this single-player game is not just to experience but to see how long one can endure intellectual torture. A player cannot fully appreciate how far programming has come and how brilliant game scripting has advanced, unless one immerses fully into the world of Adventures of Gilligan's Island. This title is particularly poignant for this reviewer, as I was part of the team that helped market the game. The price was set at $49.99, perhaps the ultimate insult to one's intelligence, beyond the actual game itself. To be fair, a Sherwood Schwartz license didn't come cheap -- and Bandai America acquired the rights to the title because of the upswing in classic sitcoms from the 1960s. It was, in essence, a good idea gone bad. Programming was done by the now defunct Human Entertainment, a Japanese developer, that originated the hugely popular Fire Pro Wrestling games. So... this was an inherited piece of merchandise with a trending angle: Gilligan's Island as a video game? Why not? As a broadway musical... hey, now wait just a minute!
Adventures of Gilligan's Island is a game of hide 'n seek, where you wish Gilligan would hide as he tails you (assuming the persona of the Skipper) throughout the course of the game. The labyrinthine structure of the game is lame and tame. But then, if the game was designed to emulate the sitcom of the 1960s, maybe this is the perfect send-up for the iconic series. A closer look at the storyline, told episodically through game levels, reveals a darker and disturbing side to the play pattern. Here are some highlights, which are really lowlights, but there's nothing that transcends these moments, so you gotta go with what you're served. Plus, sadly, there's no Ginger.
Gilligan gets into trouble, forcing you as the Skipper to waste time to rescue him. So the game has heart. Personally, in hindsight, I would have left Gilligan in the tar pit; I would not have thrown him a rope; I would have allowed him to be pulled limb from limb by the gorilla; I would have partaken of the native soup made from his boiled head... indeed, I would have let Gilligan drown, set the table for the cannibal to eat him, and made sure the monkeys and snakes had their fair share of his gamey body. If Gilligan were a Tamagotchi, I'd never feed him or clean up after him. Get the picture? But that's not the way the game is supposed to be played.
The fact that the game has elements of cannibalism, featuring a headhunter you can clobber with a club, a wild gorilla you can beat with a club, a wild boar you can pummel with a club, and yes, even Gilligan who you can bash with a club, you instantly know the level of programming you're dealing with in this mis-stewed, half-stirred offering. I cannot recall one episode of Gilligan's Island where the Skipper runs around the island toting a club -- and using it on whatever comes his way. Unfortunately, as much fun as it could have been, the programmers did not make it possible for the Skipper to club Mary Ann, the Howells, or the Professor. Having dined with both Dawn Wells and the recently deceased Russell Johnson, I'm actually glad that the digital version of the Skipper is not allowed to club these nice, wonderful folks.
From the get-go, players should know they're in trouble with this game when the task at hand is to build a hut -- and Mr. Howell declares, "A Howell never does any work that requires manual labor. Go find a contractor and be quick!" Though the throughline of constructing a shelter is ambiguously conceived, along the convoluted pathway to achieve the goal, the Skipper must outmaneuver wild boars and avoid monkeys and snakes, all while eating bananas for nourishment. After crossing through mud swamps, a non-perspective waterfall, and enduring flat, uninspired written dialogue (remember, this was 1989 on the Nintendo 8-bit platform), the Skipper is then tasked with locating Lovey's wedding ring, which apparently gets lifted by a bird and taken to its nest. Along the journey, Gilligan repeatedly declares that he has a really bad feeling about things. As well he should.
The Skipper compels Gilligan to climb the tree and fetch the ring. Gilligan is rewarded by Mr. Howell with a "jar of caviar" -- a necessary item to have later to complete the adventure. Of course, the Skipper must club the gorilla that has purloined the transmitter. But as sitcom irony would have it, Gilligan then steps on the transmitter. A key in the nest is also found by Gilligan, which will be used to unlock a treasure later in the game.
But the real treasure is in the plentitude of trappings from this sitcom's tropes that are plundered relentlessly by the programmers: as the Skipper progresses to future episodes (levels), the castaways encounter annoying natives, pitiful pitfalls, voodoo curses, and a heinous headhunter. Nowhere, though, does one encounter the curious Japanese soldier portrayed by Italian actor Vito Scotti, or the obliously adorable Jungle Boy, played by Kurt Russell. Along the way, the adventure offers up the wonders of walking through mazes, solving mind-numbing puzzles, and overdosing on verbose Gilliganisms. Consider the characters' speech is texted onto the screen, you'd think the phrasing would be kept to a minimum. But it spews forth vapidly and voraciously. You may wonder, where is all this leading? Well, it's leading to grave disappointment as the Skipper beats a walking skeleton with a club while the skeleton beats the Skipper with a femur. That's the big battle royale on the island. After beating the skeleton to a desiccated pulp, it transforms into a treasure box wherein is revealed the missing stone statue, which holds mystical wishing powers that can get them off the island. But of course.
As you'd expect, the Professor knows the chant to get the wish to work: Guni Guni Gugu Sarumo Ochiru! But as fate would have it, Gilligan wishes for ice cream and declares that he could eat a mountain of it. The game concludes on an existential chord: In the lagoon, a giant floating ice cream cone appears, surrounded by a flock of seagulls. The game dares to pose the ominous question: Will the castaways ever get off the island? Stay tuned! Stay tune, indeed. No one of sane mind would return to this game, so one must assume the castaways are forever lost in their lame-game limbo.
For anyone who would care to passively watch this game be played (which has to be more than a 3-hour torture versus interactively working through the game), this mighty morsel of a movie of the game play can be viewed on YouTube -- because everything esoteric is on YouTube. If you doubt this assertion, click here.
There's one jewel of a text line that appears repeatedly throughout the game, which resonates philosophically: The scenery would look better if we weren't shipwrecked. Could any empathetic soul ever tell the castaways the truth? That the scenery would look heavenly, even shipwrecked, if they existed in an Xbox 360 version.
