The Ballad of Gilligan's IsleDo forgive me if I've got any of the lyrics wrong. It's been a long time, and sometimes, your neural net makes the wrong connections, influenced by the many other events that have impinged upon it during the intervening years.
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship
The mate was a slightly flighty type,
The Skipper brave and sure
Five other people sailed that day
Upon the ocean blue, upon the ocean blue
The weather started getting rough
The tiny ship was tossed
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost
The ship set ground on the shore of this
Uncharted desert isle
And here's a list of all that ditched
On this deserted isle, on this deserted isle
[I'm sure I've got the list wrong, they can't all be women.]
So this is the tale of our castaways
They're here for a long, long time
They'll have to make the best of things
It's an uphill climb
The first mate and the Skipper, too
Will do their very best
To make the others comfortable
From their tropic eagle's nest
So join us here each week, my friends
You're sure to get a smile
From seven stranded castaways
Here on Gilligan's Isle

OO1: I am dining with some (younger) [entities] to whom you are apparently a mythic figure from ages past.And thus endeth the transsubscription.
HWRU: [displays consternation] WHAT? How come?
OO1: Something to do with [life-transference specialist parasites]. I couldn't quite follow; it was abstruse. [pauses] Or [mystical] arts.
HWRU: What? [Life-transference specialist parasitism] and/or [mysticism]? How old are these younger [entities]?
OO1: I estimate about 10 [unspecified periods of time] younger. It is hard to tell nowadays. I feel antediluvian.
HWRU: Ten [upot] your junior? That would be a [cohort] from the [ages] after I left as a [minor servitor class entity] and before I arrived as a [major power]!
OO1: I don't think you [inflicted educational function upon] these...
HWRU: Hmm. My first [cohort] was about 10 [upot] after that — [date redacted].
OO1: No no your reputation has reached these mortals in other spheres.
HWRU: Goodness. Or the opposite.
OO1: The tones were as of journeymen speaking of a noted sage of old.
HWRU: Do I know any of these people? [grins]
OO1: I don't think so. But they know OF you as a Great Old One.
[redacted]
OO1: I was quite amused when your name was invoked spontaneously in the middle of conversation concerning creatures that go bump in the night.
NSOO: HWRU, in the Room of Staves at the College of Wyverns, people compare you to Dorian Gray.
OO2: Hahahaha! So, the Great [name redacted] has achieved immortal status akin to [name redacted]... Another one for the pantheon!
HWRU: Oh dear! Oh dear oh dear! I am undone! (Or at least, Unnamed.) [laughs out loud]
