The "Island"
MrEvers:
Well, it's not like I'm planning to wear it all the time.

How can you passionately hate something you know nothing about?
Tekumseh:
Follow the link and maybe you'll get what I don't like - it was not the TV-series I meant. I just never watched an episode, so any reference is useless for me and I would look rather puzzled. Maybe my interpunctation was not the best to make that point, so the joke I made might have been ... lost *g*
Xar:
Am I the only one who immediately thought about this and wondered what was the connection with Hawaii and EF? ^^'
MrEvers:
I say we exploit any sci-fi connections with islands. ;D

This thread reminds me of an anecdote.
A biology teacher tasked the class to write an essay on elephants. One of the pupils didn't particularly like elephants, and didn't know much about them, either. However, this person really knew a lot about ticks! So, the essay delivered by this pupil began with: "Elephants are large mammals with thick, wrinkled skin. In certain places, various kinds of ticks manage to take hold in folds of the skin. One particular species of tick found on elephants is [...]", continuing with a detailed, very informative essay on ticks, their metabolism and life cycle. Much to the dismay of the teacher, who really wanted to honor the well-researched and nicely written essay, it still had to be formally graded as an F. No matter how well done the essay was, it still totally missed the point.
