Bobby Thompson and the shot heard round the world is pretty retro.

Bob better go back and nosh on a small mammal from one of his snares, and forget about those two stiffs.

That would be Bob Thompson from….MARGARITAVILLE!!!! Drinks on me!! Man what I wouldn’t give for some seniorita’s and Herb Alpert right now.

Sure it’s not MacGyver?

I think it should be Wilson!

They won’t pick a name till tomorrow, “Friday”.

It would be a nice twist if, once Bob Thompson gets back home, he turns out to be a billionaire competitor of Sedgwick’s father. And he will now have a special grudge to settle.

Okay, they did save his life, sort of. It was more like they refrained from not saving his life.

If he had said “I Got a Name” – it would have been Jim Croce.

Yes, mr Thompson, they are as dumb as two bumps on a log.

Christian Science Monitor, January 3, 2003 “Sit right back & hear a tale of finales”“…Bob Thompson of Shady Side, Md., opted for the pop-cult fusion approach. He suggests sending the six on a one-way cruise, à la “Gilligan’s Island.” On their deserted isle, our castaways would take up various occupations: “Ross could find himself another monkey … Monica could become the world’s foremost chef for cooking lizards and seaweed,….”https://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0103/p13s02-algn.html

Apparently he gave up his naming rights when he arrived on that island.

Gotta sympathize with Mr Castaway—err, Bob Thompson. I’m not surprised that Sedgwick is so obtuse, but i am a bit taken aback by Jarvis’s suck-uppy attitude….
