I hereby coin the term "Gilligan's Island Quests"

[Bigfish]

This is official notice that I am coining the term "Gilligan's Island Quests" in reference to the daily quests, that, much like the plot of Gilligan's Island, are different every day, but seem to start repeating themselves after you do them a few times. Much like how the shipwrecked crew and castaways never get off the island, all those jeweled trinkets you keep hunting for all over Northrend to ship to the undermine will never get there and the shipment will inevitably always be one trinket short.

fishing dailies, cooking dailies, heroic dailies....

the only different between those and the "normal" dailies is that you get to choose your normal dailies.

Well - they actually did get off the island once - only to make the same mistakes and end right back up on the same island. lol

I do believe that was a made for TV movie, and thus not part of the official Gilligan lore.

When I first heard the term, I thought it would be all those quests that make you get really weird ingredients to make some gnomish contraption. "If you bring me 30 bat ears, 15 murloc spit, and 3 hardened yeti droppings, I'll craft a [Helm of Uselessness]." Think the professor and his coconut powered nuclear submarine made from some palm fronds and a couple pieces of bamboo.

So it's apocryphal in the canon of Gilligan's Island?

Yes, yes it is. Everything after Gilligan and the Goddess is blaspheme! Oddly enough there are three movies, two of which involve them being rescued only to return. The third involves the Harlem Globetrotters. The first movie is the one referenced.

I do love me some new words. Sounds like it would be a good arena team name too

Would that make Ogrim's Hammer the SS Minnow?
