Alf series episode Somewhere Over the Rerun/The Ballad of Gilligan's Island

Alf:"I gotta go Willie sorry. It's almost time for Gilligan's Island."

Willie:"Better hurry. If you miss this Rerun, you'll have to wait 3 weeks before it's on again."

Alf(Sarcastically):"You know, it's people like you who drive quality programming off the air!"

I agree with the furry little guy from Melmac. Gilligan's Island is quality programming.

"Feeling CRAZY!

 

Got a special message for Bluenox, the seller who tried to deceive me with a Gorget Braid bait-and-switch!

 

Toby Keith's "How Do You Like Me Now?" just got a whole new meaning:

 

"How do you like me now?

Now that I'm on my way

Do you still think I'm crazy

Because I let you deceive me

With Gorget Braid bait and switch?

 

I've always dreamed about Mouse Braid

Now I have it, thanks to a crafted Mom

 

How do you like me now?

Now that I have my correct braid?"

# Warning: Beware of Bait-and-Switch Sellers!

 

"I want to share a cautionary tale about my experience with Bluenox from Pakistan. They advertised a Gilligan's Island hat with Mouse Braid, but what I received was a hat with Gorget Braid instead!

 

On the other hand, I've had a fantastic experience with Midway Cap in Chicago. What made it even more special was that my custom hybrid hat order was personally taken by Midway Cap's President herself, Merle Sbertoli! I ordered a perfect blend of Alf episode and Rescue From Gilligan's Island Reunion movie details, and they delivered exactly what I saw.

 

The lesson learned is to choose reputable companies like Midway Cap, where honesty and transparency matter. Don't fall for bait-and-switch tactics like Bluenox's.

Professor:"He says he likes you but you're not exactly the kind of girl he'd take home to mother."

Ginger:"Well, well, Hmmmph!"

Alf Somewhere Over the Rerun (1987)

Alf:"Hey Gilligan. That Mary Ann is kind of cute. How come you never asked her out?"

Gilligan:"Where would we go?"

Alf:"Ha ha ha! Where would we go? Ha ha ha!"

Skipper:"This little fella is easily amused Gilligan!"

Gilligan:"Yeah! I like him!"

Hey friends! I wanted to share my thoughts on my Skipper's hat. Some of you have said I should've splurged on the $249 Benford Yacht Hat from Inverness, Florida. But here's the thing: even that hat uses the same Gorget Braid style as the one I got from Pakistan.

 

So, whether I spent $78.29 or $249, I still would've needed my mom to modify it to get the screen-accurate Alan Hale Jr. Mouse Braid rope band style.

 

For me, spending less and making it work was the better choice. What do you think? Would you rather spend $78 or almost $300 for a hat that still needs modifications?

I don't know if I will do this. But I have an idea to ask Benford Yacht Hat if customers can order a custom made Mouse Braid rope version from them. If it's doable for them. That way, buyers can choose Straight Gorget Braid or Twisted Knotted Intertwined Mouse Braid. Their hat is already 99% Lancaster anyway. It only lacks that 1% which is a Mouse Braid cord. And BYH could also go on selling the catalog book Gorget version too. They don't have to cease their original design. This idea depends on one thing though, that is if they will do it, would they have enough customers that would be interested. If all they get is the Gilligan's Island Fan demographic, that might not be enough interest for them to agree to it. It might cost Benford Yacht Hat more than it's worth for them to do this, and then to not have enough customers who are interested in a Mouse Braid version. And their original catalog book Gorget Braid version is $249 + $17.05 shipping= $262.05, I'd hate to see what their version of a Mouse Braid hat would be.  Gorget Braid with BYH is already thru the roof.  Probably be $400 or higher for their Mouse Braid version if they agree to making this happen.  They feel $249 justifies their Gorget Braid version. I don't want or need anymore Skipper's hats. I'm perfectly content with the Sialkot Pakistan Bluenox eBay bait and switch Mom fixed up with Mouse Braiding. But this is just something I'm curious about. Wondering if it's feasible for Benford Yacht Hat to do. To offer both versions Gorget Braid and Mouse Braid.
