Cheers... I'll listen now!

Kim-
good catch re: kate being a vegetarian - totally didn't remember that!

Thanks for the podcast and all the hard work, Kim, Aimee and mb! Will get to it this afternoon.

Jordan said...

Woo Hoo! Can't wait to get off work so I can listen! And don't worry bout the delay. It's all good. You guys rock.

I'm going to repost something I posted in the last thread after it died.
-----------------------------------

Hey guys. I need some advice. Especially from the lawyers in the audience.

Let me explain the story first. Remember a couple months ago when those Aqua Teen Hunger Force signs from the cartoon network show caused the Boston bomb scare? Well anyway, about a week before that I found one of those signs on the side of the building that I work at. I knew what it was and thought it was funny, so I took it. After the Boston deal, I tried to sell it on ebay. My auction was up to $1,000 with 4 days to go and then ebay took it down. They contacted me claiming that the Cartoon Network and it's parent company Time Warner claimed that me selling it violated intellectual property rights. Which to me was a bunch of crap. They were just trying to snuff out the story in the news. Whatever. So I didn't sell it. I ended up giving it to a friend as a gift for his birthday. Now, months later I have received certified letters in the mail from some law office in downtown Seattle. The letter states that they are aware that I came into possession of it and tried to sell it. They are asking that I return it to them. I ignored the first letter and now have received a second one, which states that if I don't resond in 7 days, they will take further action. I'm trying to figure out what I should do. I don't see exactly what they have on me or what they can really do. Would it be best to just continue to ignore them? Or to call them and say, "Hey, I don't got it. Leave me alone."? This is suck crap. They were ultimately responsible for the vandalizing of my work, yet I am somehow in the wrong? This is so annoying. What do you guys think I should do?

PalmerEldritch said...

ignoring it probably won't help. let them know, politely, that you did not sell it but instead got rid of it (believing that it was abandoned property and left behind as an act of vandalism) and are no longer in possession of it. if they keep pressing you, ask your friend if you can have it back so that you can shut them up.

alternately, forge a vigilante identity and use your powers to thwart their every move and bring justice to a world polluted by ne'erdowells and petty crooks.

memphish said...

I don't want to be called for practicing without a license, but I'd write them a letter stating that you did not sell the item and that you disposed of it.

memphish said...

I need a spoiler ruling. Will I be able to listen to MB's segment after this Wednesday or are there more forward looking spoilers?

Holli

mb said...

K&A -
Re: Smokey - I agree that the flashes Juliet saw were probably the same thing as what it did with Eko and Locke. Not sure why it would have looked just like white light to Locke, but in "23rd Psalm" the flashes happen while we're literally looking out at Eko from inside Smokey, so I would imagine that that is what the flashes are like from Smokey's perspective, while to the person looking at it they are brighter. I can't remember but did Kate even mention anything about seeing the flashes? Maybe they are only perceived by the person getting scanned (or whatever it's doing). That would explain why Charlie didn't mention anything about flashes during his and Eko's encounter.

memphish said...

I can confirm there is no Ninja training in med school, but there is plenty of time to watch Dallas re-runs. C=MD

mb said...

Holli -
THERE ARE more forward looking spoilers (to the end of the season) - I went through a lot of stuff this time to play catch up. However, I do them in chronological order pretty much, so you could stop it after you've heard the Left Behind stuff.

memphish said...

Good to know MB. Thanks for adding to the podcast. Good work so far ladies. We have a new Canadian word - washroom. She was in the bathroom, maybe the Ladies' room, or in Iowa the Little Cowgirls' Room.

Holli

mb said...

Jordan, I meant to say before - I second Holli's suggestion to send a letter, since the written word is king in the legal world. I would imagine it's the most effective means of communicating with these people.

International-J said...

HOORAY, More TLI!

elias said...

"I. Cannot. Stand. Juliet."

Laughed mucho when I heard that one.

memphish said...

I claim the book! I'll shoot you an email Aimee.

Jordan said...

Thanks for the advice guys. I didn't mean to take this off topic. Back to Lost and the awesome Kim and Aimee. Again, can't wait to listen ladies. I'm sure the wait was well worth it.

TLI just gets better every week. I liked the music, the blogspot wrapup and the bookclub.

GREAT job on the spoilers mb. Thorough and entertaining.

I think that caller neal sounds like michael "pull my finger mate" caine.

Stephanie said...

I have a legal question and I agree that answering this question does not create an attorney-client relationship or whatever the legal mumbo-jumbo is. The guy that robbed the bank at the Master's- the rumor is he owed money to drug dealers. He couldn't pay so they gave him a gun and drove him to the bank and forced him to rob it. Is this a plausable defense?
I'll have to listen to the podcast in the morning. My iTunes was busy all evening downloading Friday Night Lights.

PalmerEldritch said...

MB, congrats on the spoiler section. good stuff.

ralph, jimmy, check your OLP feed and pronto! giacchinoey goodness.

i love that we second guess every word choice that kim makes and blame it on her canadianess. poor kim! but washroom was an odd choice. should've said The Shitter. good call on Aunt Hilde. Salem is my hero.

aimee, not only did i read a book late last week, but i ordered more. and sure, they're not LOST related but you've re-ignited my desire to read by setting such a good example. i would love for you to end a book review with "...but you don't have to take MY word for it" sometime and then end with the Reading Rainbow segue music.

Anonymous said...

Seriously, is washroom that odd of a word?

PalmerEldritch said...

as an aside, that Chris guy on the Official LOST Podcast is a trip. either he's still a little nervous on camera or he really has the world's most exaggerated facial movements.

cool guy but i'm not entirely convinced he's not a Muppet.

PalmerEldritch said...

hmm... maybe it IS a canadian thing. :)

everyone i know knows what a washroom is but we all say bathroom or restroom (or worse). washroom seems a little... old fashioned? i attribute it to your overall radio voice classiness. which i'm a fan of, worry not.

Jordan said...

I've listened to bits and pieces of TLI. Good stuff girls. You guys are rock. I love TLI so much, I wanna take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant. That was a 30 Rock reference if anybody caught it.

Cool idea for the book I sent ya Aimee. Sweet knowing it's getting better use than sitting on my shelf as proof to my friends that I can read. That was a Seinfeld reference btw. ha!

Anonymous said...

Kim,

It's not that 'washroom' is that odd a word. It's just odd enough to remind those of us in America that you're a neighbor to the north, or to put it in LOST vernacular, an 'Other'. But not one that we're scared of, or don't trust. No, not THAT kind of other. More like an 'other' that could whip up a kick-ass podcast one day, then fly off on your jet the next day to alert your fellow others to potentially annoying and bothersome traffic delays.

And Palmer - Have you seen the crazy faces of Dr. Jack Shephard that Matthew Fox can contort his (coconut-sized) melon headed face into? TOLP Chris isn't even in the same league.

mb said...

Thanks for the nice words Goofball and Palmer, hopefully I won't be half-asleep this week when I record :)

I also wanted to say, for you who do listen to the segment, that clicking on my name here in the blog will take you to my Lost Initiative Spoiler profile where you can email me or link to the Spoiler blog and post any info you've heard (that I can follow up on). I appreciate any info.

MB, I agree with you about the Smokey "flashes", I think Kate saw them, but because her head was down, she wasn't affected by them as Juliet was

In honor of Juliet knocking up a field mouse fellow, until Memphish can find us a better one: Mad Scientist Name Generator

/dont forget your title before your name!

probune said...

Wow Kim and Aimee really hate Juliet.

That makes me sad. :( :( :( :(

memphish said...

Palmer, we're apparently cousins.

I'm Intillectual (no that's not a type) Franken Jaminson.

I don't really like that. I prefer Velvet, Lollipop or Nathalia.

I was looking for a Spy Name Generator since I think Juliet is a spy, but the best I found was an Austen "Danger is my middle name" Powers one which just comes up with a middle name and is pretty lame.

Happy LOST Day and
Happy Birthday WESH!

memphish said...

In the previous post type is a typo. I meant typo. Need more coffee.

Steph, to answer your question. It's essentially a case of two wrongs not making a right. It won't get him off, and in fact might make things worse given some of the crazy drug laws there are on the books.

hmm... anyone know aimee's whole name and whatnot?

PalmerEldritch said...

if so, get that girl a mad scientist name!

Holli, we're still fighting that War on Drugs, right?

mb, your spoiler segment was very entertaining. What happened on the Alias-Superbowl episode? I'll look into it.

Aimee...you're Master Isabella Jaminson

aimee is lost said...

What info do you need?

My name is Aimee Partido. I'm a female (the last time I checked.) I like walks on the beach, sunsets, and watching Lost. I talk in my sleep, sometimes I snore, and I cry at movies. My favorite color is blue, I don't know my natural hair color anymore, and I have not had plastic surgery.

aimee is lost said...

Palmer, you'll need to be the judge on which one to go with since I've got two names now.

memphish said...

If you're a Jaminson you can be related to me and Palmer. I don't know if I'd recommend it or not though.

Holli

International-J said...

Master Jacob Stein

Oh no, guess we know who Jacob is now!!!

Mike Campbell said...

Ralph you might want to listen to the Official Lost Podcast again. Michael Giacchino is on talking about scoring Expose

memphish said...

If you've got 5 minutes this Star Wars Parody is pretty funny. Search your peelings; you know them to be true.

Holli

PalmerEldritch said...

that's awesome, jonjon. we'll have to be extra nice around you so you don't send the Others after us.

Was Steph posting her own name or Aimee's? I was under the impression that Steph is Lorita Lankanotvitch and Aimee was Isabella Jaminson.

We Jaminson's are a vile bunch. We're nothing but trouble! Evil scientists all.

memphish said...

Mahahahaha!

wait... how many times did you watch the episode? :)

ew. meeting in half an hour. boring. maybe i'll fake a massive cerebral hemmorage and go hang out by the coffee.

I'm currently writing a short story and I needed to come up with a phone number to use, and so it came to me that I would use:

481-516-2342

our special numbers

PalmerEldritch said...

hope that's not anyone's real phone number...

/jenny, jenny

International-J said...

481 isn't a real area code

memphish said...

That Video OLP is great. So nice of Giachhino to pick up Jimmy's slack this week. Hope you're better Jimmy.

The bass player was obtuse, but I wish I could make my eyes do that.

Holli

PalmerEldritch said...

that's too bad about 481 not being a real area code. i love that 867-5309's around the country were getting calls looking for Jenny.

memphish, anyone can do that with their eyes. you just need about two gallons of coffee.

memphish said...

Then bring on gallon #2 and a mirror.

Holli

Stephanie said...

Best OLP ever. No no pants joke. Very interesting that Giacchino creates the music with the film and not the script. I always wondered how that worked. Nice to finally put a face with the name. It maybe just me, but he seems VERY young. Very impressive.

memphish said...

Every time I hear Juliet explain her "if I can make you believe we're in it together, I wouldn't be left behind" thing it's less and less plausible. I hate Juliet.

Sorry Holli, but I'm afraid Juliet's going to be around for a while!

BTW-Kim, I sometimes use the word "washroom" and I'm not from Canada!

PalmerEldritch said...

actually, i've heard Canadian(s) refer to it as "the WC." which is not Worange County and full of teenage angst but just the Water Closet.

Thanks for kind word Steph!

RE: the Alias-Superbowl episode thing - I was actually wondering about that too (it was a quote from Kristin at E!Online). I'll do some research today and post it on the spoiler blog @ lostinitiativespoilers.blogspot.com (or just click on my name in this blog).

Benjamin said...

Guys, I was watching some of Series 2 of Look Around You last night and they made a throwaway reference to a fake saint name (as they often do) and I thought about it again while listening to TLI on the way to work this morning: St. Cerberus.

Oh, and I don't think I said anything about one of the Others in gas masks looking like Juliet. It doesn't sound familiar.

AND I STILL HAVEN'T GONE TO THE STORE FOR HALF OFF CANDY. This busy week at work is stealing my soul.

PalmerEldritch said...

ben?! you remembered your password? hot damn. congrats, man.

Benjamin said...

No way, bro, I'm stuck posting under my Google account, rather than my Blogger account. If I can find a way to add an avatar to the Google account I just may never look back.

PalmerEldritch said...

Seek your answer from the Oracle of Google.

PalmerEldritch said...

hey, can you go off to Blogger.com and click the Edit Profile link on the right side? maybe the Photo URL thing does something?

Ralph- said...

Aimee, anything that has not yet happened on Lost is concidered a spoiler. I had no idea that there was a Dharma Flashback, sounds really cool....

Ben is Batshit Crazy when it comes to his sense of humor, i think that is why he understands me so well. I wish that we could be more natural on the show. i was hanging out with him on saturday and realized that if any of the listeners got to hear us when we were hanging out, it would be a totally different experience.....anyway, He has been trying to get me to watch the film version of Catch 22 for years. Maybe i will give in.

Great show. You are my favorite active Lost podcast.

OK, ladies, set phasers to cute.

p.s. ben, it works. i think.

by the way, two days ago, stevi sat on the bed and looked at pictures and videos of Knute the Polarbear for about an hour and a half.

even when Knute was swatting at his trainer's face, she was like, Awwwwww he sooooooo cute.

PalmerEldritch said...

they're cute until their 1300 pounds and ten feet long and stuck on a tropical island. at that point, they abduct mr. eko and it's time to burn their face off.

just sayin'.

Danielle said...

Mine is Master Isabella Lankanotvitch.
I love this shit!

I think I'm back? Apparently there's a new Blogger and I had to upgrade or something? All I know is I gave them my SSN, mother's maiden name, and blood type.

Ralph, I think there's still some of James' paint in my garage....

Ralph- said...

unless he had more than one bucket, i took it and asked james if he still needed it. he said no, so the one i took was tossed

elias said...

Catch22 is one of the best books ever - irreverent, crazy and tragic. MASH(1970) encapsulates this more than the film of Catch22, but it's still worth seeing, if only for some nice comedy cameos from Orson Welles and Richard Benjamin.

I was listening to some classic TLI and came across Jimmy calling in doing an impression of his Aussie ex. Great stuff.

Hello everyone...this is my first post...this is Tiger Concord from the last podcast. Sorry to beat a dead horse, but where can I get a wrestling name? Though I'm sure it can't be cooler than my porn name.

Welcome Appaullo. Glad you're here. The Wrestler Name Generator is here and today we have the Mad Scientist Name Generator as well.

PalmerEldritch said...

appaulo, Wrestling Name Generator link. I think it was Holli who first posted it. good stuff.

PalmerEldritch said...

ha! she beat me by mere minutes.

PalmerEldritch said...

hey, what's up with the distinct lack of hype for tonight's episode? is it because there's little to no chance of mud wrestling? anyone got any predictions?

my prediction: the Others give Juliet an extreme makeover and straighten her curls in order to endear themselves to her and keep her on the island.

memphish said...

And Ty Pennington will cry.

Holli

memphish said...

So we know Juliet's main job is to impregnate men, but do the Others multi-task? Ethan was a plumber and a surgeon. What will Juliet's secondary job be? We know it's not cook.

Any predictions?

Jordan said...

I'm totally digging not having any clue whatsoever as to what tonight's ep is about. Alls I know is that is Julie-centric and the crap from the trailer. I'm sure this is going to take off from her last flashback. So that would mean we would see her introduction to the island possibly? Also probably some stuff back home with her sister. As for on the beach in now time, I guess it's going to be the whole "we don't trust her!" deal led by Sayid and Jack defending her. Hopefully when Jack defends her, Kate tries to get back at him by making out with Juliet. I can dream, can't I?

elias said...

funny that. Sawyer's job is to impregnate women - Kate, Analulu (before she croaked), Sun (my theory), and Nikki (also my theory).

elias said...

The lack of hype is good becase there will be some major reveals about the Others. I predict the blogspot will explode after this episode.

Also Ben & Juliet will be together but she thinks about Zeke when they're f--king.

Anonymous said...

predictions...
-juliet lies a bunch.
-Sayid says something menacing in a soothing voice
-Jack tells Sawyer "we're not going to discuss this" and then blows the conche and gives a stirring "live together die alone" speech
-Hurley asks Desmond why he didn't see something coming and Desmond shugs "it daent work like dat"
-Charlie blames Desmond for something
-we only see the Others in Juliet's flashback
-Aaron cries
-Sun still has a few dagger-glares left for Sawyer
-i will spend a long time composing this post and there will be a new episode hype thread up already.

i guess the big question is where the new conflict will arise from. Right now the Losties & the Others are semi-peacefully separated. Locke is presumed to be off on his own volition, so no rescue parties are necessary at the moment. Who will be proactive about reengaging? Will the Losties strike out after the Others' resources in order to get off the island? Will whatever Juliet divulges about the Others prove to be so awful that the losties adopt a pre-emptive strike mentality? Will the Others try to kidnap someone else? Will the island or Munster create a common problem that will force an uncomfortable truce?

i'm looking forward to tonight. i'm expecting some big insight into the Others.

andrew.

International-J said...

I think when Sayid finally personally introduces himself to Juliet he will say,

"Hello, my name is Sayid Jarrah, and I am a torturer."

and Juliet will respond by saying.

"Umm, yeah I know."

and they'll chuckle and have sex..wait never mind

PalmerEldritch said...

i just hope that we learn about the Book Club that Juliet was in. this is what inquiring minds want to know.

i just used a LOST-learned skill. my furnace was getting cleaned (not a euphemism) and i could hear the guys talking in the garage about my furnace. so, i went over to the door to the garage to eavesdrop a bit. i then remembered our dear Juliet and put my cell phone's ring to off. don't want to have your hiding spot given away by an errant phone call.

juliet will never live that one down. way to go, Dr. ex-Mrs. Burke.

Jordan said...

One thing you forgot Andrew:

-Claire will get mad at Charlie and say, "I don't want you around my baaybee!"

elias said...

hehe Andrew - I like 2, 3 and 4.

This is my prediction for the episode.

Anonymous said...

I don't know what to expect for this episode. I'm hoping something bad will happend to Juliet, and Sayid catches her in a lie.

I sadly don't think Juliet will become the lying backstabbing bitch I'm hoping she will be, and she will eventually be trusted by the 815ers. She's going to play on Sun's emotions when she finds out she's pregnant, she's already 3/4 of the way there with Jack--I don't think she'll ever win over Kate, and if she does, I'm out!

PalmerEldritch said...

there's some deep seated hate of Juliet, kim. did you once choke on a toothpick in a grilled cheese sandwich or something?

elias said...

Gotta agree with you Kim. I don't hate Jules but if she is fully accepted it would be outrageous. and not very dramatic.

mb said...

I would love to add to this conversation, but I know too much. "If I told you everything - you'd kill me"

mb said...

Kim -
I am not a Juliet hater, but I still think Juliet's got an extra face in her somewhere. If she sees a way off the island and it means selling Jack or the 815ers out, I can see her doing it. I don't see what Jack can offer her that would come close to comparing with getting off the island and seeing her sister again. But - there's a lot of season left I suppose.

P.S I was, of course, NOT basing this on any spoiler material. Just thoughts.

PalmerEldritch said...

i predict that juliet will be about to sell the LOSTies out at some point and then have a change of heart at the last minute and save the day.


or did she already do that when she saved Kate and Sawyer? hmm...

Jordan said...

Whatever ends up being the final verdict on Jules, I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that there will be more than few teases to make you think it's going the other way.

PalmerEldritch said...

juliet goes the other way? sweet.

PalmerEldritch said...

happy birthday, wesh. and thanks for belgian waffles and for fries.

Jordan said...

Hey Wesh. So you're in Belgium? Funny, a friend of mine was just telling me about some travel show he was watching where they were showing some famous statue in Brussels of a urinating child. The show called it the "Eiffel Tower of Brussels". lol. What's he talking bout dude?
