I was excited for the return of Sopranos. It was slow but still great. The first show back for a season tends to be slow to bring everyone back into it. Entourage was also amazing. Thats a good set of tv Sopranos and then Entourage.
OMG, Holli. I am outraged. That is a significant difference in size. I knew the egg fit in my mouth easier this year. I doubt my mouth has gotten bigger.
so, how does Ben con Juliet into coming to the Island? just what we've already seen with the bus or do Linus and Dr. Eyeliner have something more up their sleeves?
Good question Palmer. I think we're supposed to believe mousey Juliet is so cowed by what they did to her ex and the implicit threat to herself and her sister that she agrees. Mabye Ethan turns on the charm and goes all Dr. Suave on her.
There's also the mad scientist allure. We'll let you do whatever you want and we'll give you all the money in the world to do it, and you can try to impregnante this young gentleman with the tissues, or me with the eyeliner, since I look like a girl anyway.
Aimee has lifted my banishment, so I return to you now at the turn of the tide.
Who do you think Juliet is being brought in to help on the island? Are the others finding themselves unable to procreate? Or are they hoping to get Jacob pregnant? Or does Ben just hope to get a hot piece of tail in the compound? Is she eye candy, and that's why they brand her with a candy design? They may have just as easily branded her with the Skittles S or the M&M's M.
Reading the last thread and this has convinced me to get a Cabury Creme Egg and some jelly beans.
I didn't even try watching the Black Donnellys. I love me some TV, and I think I could have gotten behind the concept, and if anyone had mentioned that Captain Janeway was in it, it might have pushed me over the edge, but I've been burned way too much with cancelled shows recently, and I didn't want to bother going down that road again.
i like Robert Picardo but Voyager did get pretty awful. i watched it for the first time in years when the finale aired. good god, that finale sucked donkey balls.
did you ever see "Nowhere Man" with Bruce Greenwood? now, THAT was a good UPN show.
i think smokey was looking at Juliet because it had never seen her before. There is always that pesky fence in the way. So the Munster had to size her up because it was a new mind to mess with!
Hey guys, love the show. I've been with you guys from the beginning, but this is my first time on the blogspot. I just want you guys to know that I nearly had a wreck listening to your latest podcast. I nearly lost it thinking about sawyer and the banana leaves!!!
Anyway, what did you think about Grindhouse? I had the pleasure yesterday. I think that was the most fun I've ever had at a movie. It was definately an experience.
Thanks, Nate. I know I almost had a wreck in my pants when Ralph mentioned the banana leaves.
Grindhouse deserves more talking than we can give here. I really hope Ralph and I give a detailed review on the show. However, I'll say this: I loved it. Mostly.
Palmer, it's like you're Gallant and I'm Goofus. Because I stopped watching the show for a few years, then caught up just in time for the finale and dug the crap out of it. I've never seen Nowhere Man, but I loved Invisible Man on SciFi, which was also cancelled before its time.
Holy shit Palmer - you are the first person I've heard mention Nowhere Man since it went away...what, 14, 15 years ago? Are you being facetious or did you really like it? I think I was one of 5 people who watched it regularly - AND it was filmed here in Portland. Kept trying to look out for film crews, but never did - they are a sly bunch.
Also, going back to the last thread. I was embarrassingly remiss in not mentioning another main attraction of re-listening to the MYOKOMw/SAS Bluestone episode, which is that you get Kim's lost diary where she answers the question I had forgotten the answer to and been too self-conscious to ask again - why Toronto is called t-dot. Just a kick-ass podcast all-around!
I can't believe I missed those old podcasts - what was I thinking? Agree that it would be good if they could be uploaded somewhere.
I'm not a sci-fi expert but I love my horror films and can't wait for Grindhouse. I've checked some Masters of Horror and The O'Quinn is in one of the upcoming Masters of Sci-Fi episodes.
Invisible Man was fantastic. I'm pretty sure that the blonde doc from that is married to Dr. Eyeliner from LOST. Oh, and I forgive you for liking Voyager. THIS TIME.
MB, no way am I kidding about Nowhere Man. That was a great show. Especially the freaky ending.
That kid looks as horrified as if zombie Paulo pulled the belt loop on the back of his pants and dropped a deuce in there.
i watched the 1st DVD of Nowhere Man. I wasn't into it. It might be because everyone was hyping it as an updated version of The Prisoner. The premise was cool and all, but it felt like one of those shows like Walker Texas Ranger or The A-Team which feel like the Stuntmen and 2nd unit pooled their money to make a show. Lots of explosions with people jumping off of trampolines. I think the fact that i knew it was cancelled before its time and thus had an unresolved mythology probably factored in there too. But The Monkees are one of my all time favorite shows, so what the fuck do i know.
Sopranos was solid. That commercial they ran for all of the new HBO series was kind of scary. So many new shows. I guess they're losing a couple this year but it seems like a lot to juggle.
We can't put the classic J.B. episodes up anymore - but they'll always be remembered as the best!
I'm with Kim too on the Dylan visits his grandma in Dallas story. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard when he tries to impersonate that old catatonic lady moaning, and the old guy shouts at her "quit talkin!"
No guys, it was me. I posed this crazy picture. It was too funny NOT to. (You can tell it's just a bunny's face photoshoped onto Santa Claus--I found it online)
I also posted it in honoUr of Ben. The last thread was over 100, so I dedided to make it easier for him to read
I have something I need to confess. I don't know why I think of myokomsas everytime I see Chuck Norris. What was the joke? I've always wondered but have been too embarrassed to ask.
Aimee--I was rudely awakened this morning at 4:30 in a panic to come into work. After my week of "vacation' another reporter booked her vacation, and my "boss" (the person whom I hate more an anyone on the face of this planet) forgot to schedule someone to cover her shift. More than likely, I'll be doing a split shift all week, so crashed from 9am-2pm (the time I reserved to do my editing.
Now I'm in the middle of my regular shift and I'm sooooooo groggy.
I remember Chuck on MYOKOM w/SAS very early on. In fact, I sent them a Chuck Norris story before the call in show, so it must have been a long recurring theme.
There is a specific reason Colin, that involves the real JB complaining. Apparently his wife is a high official working for the State Department or something, and his panties are all in a knot about the MYOKOM lies and propaganda about him. Which is silly because 1) everything they said was true because it was experienced firsthand by Scott & Steve, 2) there is no office of the State Department in Oklahoma (I checked), and 3) in prior conversations he's claimed to never have been married and current online websites claim the same thing.
If I got a call at 4:30 in the morning telling me to come in to work, I'd quit. But I can say that since I'm on vacation this week! (Now watch my boss call me in a panic wanting me to come into work!)
The other night at work, I had a patient named Charles Norris. Every time I walked in his room, I'd think "Chuck Norris. MYOKOM SAS. HeeHee." I don't know why I was so amused.
OMFG Aimee - thank you for sharing that. I cannot think of a more perfect final word from JB. This will make me smile like an idiot the rest of the day. wow!
Palmer - perfect scene. I've got to watch me more original Office.
that scene is even better for me because the office (as in my office) is going out to Go-Kart it up this weekend. i've got a one year old's birthday to go to though so i can't make it. it'll be worth it though cuz i'm getting the kid some stuff from wrybaby.com. i'm easily amused but some of that stuff is hilarious.
Man I wish I could get away with buying some of that stuff for my kids. That's funny. I wish my daughter could read - I would put the "No Whining" button on 24/7 an I could just point to it, without using precious oxygen to speak.
I love what I do much more than when I worked 50-60 hours and didn't have a kid. And I'm too Type A to work well part-time. I know, I've seen myself try.
At least you have the foresight and try - I literally think to do that every year and then forget. I'm not sure if the braincells are leaking out my ear while I sleep or...?
Actually, eeww, something about that just grossed me out - sorry!
Well MB, at least you aren't foaming at the mouth and bleeding from the ears. Maybe that is in fact what happens to us as we age and the sonic fence merely sped it up for Patchy.
This was indeed a novel way aspirin in psychology.. The gaunt countryman, with his battered hat and claw-hammer coat, was a prize of codeine an extraordinary nature.. 'Oh, well,' he says, 'let's wait and think about promethazine it...
Was as well, eh? Yeah it was law school or an MBA while I was bored waiting for my husband to finish surgery residency. I went the law route. I loved school, in fact I wish someone would pay me to go to school--I excel at it. Didn't like practice too much. Lots of law firm bs, face time and all that. And I was ridiculously overpaid which has spoiled me since no one in Memphis wants to ridiculously overpay me for the same amount of work in did in So.Cal. Now I channel all that mind power into LOST. Scary, huh?
we've been a provincial and unfashionable club since the 1950's, haven't won anything since 1973 and we're on our way back to the Premier League. It's pathetic and unhealthy to be obsessed with anything, let alone a crap football club. And a television show in its 3rd season(!)
congrats, elias. but look out for ads near the field for Apollo candy bars (Apollo chocolate bars for Kim) and ExposE (starring Billy Dee Williams). and if "Make Your Own Kind of Music" comes on the jukebox, know that the team is going to turn it around in the last few minutes. and someone will be smacked in the head with a cricket bat. but, eh, whatcha gunna do?
elias - Living in the hometown of the NBA's Portland Trailblazers, I can relate to the chronic disappointment. But my naiive hope seems to keep springing eternal each year. I choose (against my better judgement) to remain hopeful.
I was lucky that at the time I could get in state tuition in California that cost next to nothing. Because I am OLD! The sugar daddy thing helped too. I actually have several friends here in Memphis who've done law school part time. It's not undoable Aimee. If you can dream it, you can do it (or some such crap from Blades of Glory).
I would not have the patience to go to law school part time. It would take too long to finish! It's bad enough that full-time takes 3 years, and even I would try to find a way to finish faster than that. I squoze out my B.S. degree in just under 2.
I'd much rather go with the sugar-daddy plan. Ben Linus is tempting, but I don't know if Mystery Island School of Law is even an accredited institution. My top sugar daddy choices are John Krasinski, Gerard Butler, and Jorge Garcia, because I heard he's single now.
I was about to ask if anyone had insight on getting money for school. Looks like you guys all had to pay for it. Since I now have time, I'm going to look into school in the fall. Now that I don't work full-time, I'm less likely to punch a nurse in the nose so maybe I can continue in my current field. On second thought, naw. Ironically, I've found a federal loan that would be forgiven if you go into the medical field and work in an impoverished area. Surely I can find something for the tech industry. Can anyone help me out?
Believe me, I know the difference between Trekkers and Trekkies. I used it in the pejorative sense, to show how low I had sunk by acknowledging my Voyager love that even the lesser of the two groups looked down upon me. But you are way too right about Seven and her storylines. Every Star Trek series needs a character straining to be human, and so much the better if they're also straining to explode their catsuit.
I failed to get Easter candy, or check the blogspot all afternoon. It got crazy wicked busy at work. I do not look forward to returning there tomorrow, unless those work elves I keep waiting for have finally done their job and mysteriously taken care of all my work in the middle of the night. Just to be safe, I better make sure I go in tomorrow.
I hope the writers don't forget about that throw-away line they gave to Tom in Not in Portland. I'm curious to see eactly what kind of history Juliet and Ben have.
~~~ TLI would like to issue a formal apology for the delay in broadcasting and would like to thank everyone for their patience and dedication. I expect the episode to be available soon. ~~~
Jimmy, take care. Don't let it go so long you need a shot like my mom did recently. Then she caught the flu I think from the doctor's office. Damn doctors. Oh wait, except for the one I'm married to. Actually I'm mad at him today too.
Back to the topic before the creepy troll. The guy that robbed the bank at the Master's was a very popular and well-liked kid in school. I heard he's actually won some Emmy's for his video production. He has two kids, one in my daughter's grade. Sad what drugs can do.
it's kind of weird to look back at high school and play "where are they now?" and see all the weird things people have been up to (like self-destructing). and i've only been out of high school for 8 years!
/have a bachelor's degree and still can't capitalize or use punctuation on the interwebs
I just back from the Coin Star machine. It charges you almost 9% to cash in your change but if you choose the iTunes card it gives all your money. I was asking the cashier if she needed to load an iTunes card from the slip or was the slip all I needed. She said she didn't know what an iTune was. Would it be kinda normal for a middle-aged cashier in Po'ville Alabama not to know what an iTune is? Or should I be shocked? Does she not watch commercials?

we need an evil easter bunny horror movie franchise. like Leprechaun but with Warwick Davis dressed up as a bunny instead.
/cinematic gold
steph, producer ryan should train some of those eagles to be his minions. that'd be pretty sweet.
Sopranos was pretty freakin awesome last night. Carmilla is like a co-dependent. She can excuse anything Tony does.
Too bad Bobby won't live long enough to see that little girl grow up.
I was excited for the return of Sopranos. It was slow but still great. The first show back for a season tends to be slow to bring everyone back into it. Entourage was also amazing. Thats a good set of tv Sopranos and then Entourage.
ben linus > tony soprano
yeah, i'm just stirring crap up. :)
Look at what those damn Others have been up to with their branding.
Holli
OMG, Holli. I am outraged. That is a significant difference in size. I knew the egg fit in my mouth easier this year. I doubt my mouth has gotten bigger.
yeah, i thought there was something up with the creme eggs this year. rat bastards.
thanks for that video, holli. made my day.
i'd also like to point out to everyone that now we have to eat them two at a time to make up for the size difference.
And they're 1/2 price today!
Holli
i really wish you hadn't mentioned that. delicious AND a bargain? this is going to be hard to resist.
some great sleuthing there by BJ. Cheers for that Holli.
so, how does Ben con Juliet into coming to the Island? just what we've already seen with the bus or do Linus and Dr. Eyeliner have something more up their sleeves?
Good question Palmer. I think we're supposed to believe mousey Juliet is so cowed by what they did to her ex and the implicit threat to herself and her sister that she agrees. Mabye Ethan turns on the charm and goes all Dr. Suave on her.
Holli
Rico... Sauve...!
Ah, so you think that Ethan was checking her plumbing pre-Island?
I'd imagine that if the removal of Edmund Burke didn't do it then they leveraged her sister against her somehow.
There's also the mad scientist allure. We'll let you do whatever you want and we'll give you all the money in the world to do it, and you can try to impregnante this young gentleman with the tissues, or me with the eyeliner, since I look like a girl anyway.
Holli

I didn't even try watching the Black Donnellys. I love me some TV, and I think I could have gotten behind the concept, and if anyone had mentioned that Captain Janeway was in it, it might have pushed me over the edge, but I've been burned way too much with cancelled shows recently, and I didn't want to bother going down that road again.
-Ben
you like the Janeway?
/the sisko is the man
oh, and Ben recruited Juliet for one reason only:
FoxyBoxing with Kate
the dude is crafty.
So was Smokey taking pictures for Ben's use?
Holli
you're damn right! polaroids so you know it's not a cut and paste job.
/ben is a perv
//god bless him
He's always thinking three moves ahead. Even if two of those moves involve him spanking it while watching Kate and Juliet fight.
I like me some Voyager. I know that makes me an oddity. Even the Trekkies look down on me.
-Ben
(Blogger won't let me log in as Ben. I assume it's heard me badmouthing it.)
i like Robert Picardo but Voyager did get pretty awful. i watched it for the first time in years when the finale aired. good god, that finale sucked donkey balls.
did you ever see "Nowhere Man" with Bruce Greenwood? now, THAT was a good UPN show.
i think smokey was looking at Juliet because it had never seen her before. There is always that pesky fence in the way. So the Munster had to size her up because it was a new mind to mess with!
Hey guys, love the show. I've been with you guys from the beginning, but this is my first time on the blogspot. I just want you guys to know that I nearly had a wreck listening to your latest podcast. I nearly lost it thinking about sawyer and the banana leaves!!!
Anyway, what did you think about Grindhouse? I had the pleasure yesterday. I think that was the most fun I've ever had at a movie. It was definately an experience.
Thanks, Nate. I know I almost had a wreck in my pants when Ralph mentioned the banana leaves.
Grindhouse deserves more talking than we can give here. I really hope Ralph and I give a detailed review on the show. However, I'll say this: I loved it. Mostly.
Palmer, it's like you're Gallant and I'm Goofus. Because I stopped watching the show for a few years, then caught up just in time for the finale and dug the crap out of it. I've never seen Nowhere Man, but I loved Invisible Man on SciFi, which was also cancelled before its time.
Ben
Holy shit Palmer - you are the first person I've heard mention Nowhere Man since it went away...what, 14, 15 years ago? Are you being facetious or did you really like it? I think I was one of 5 people who watched it regularly - AND it was filmed here in Portland. Kept trying to look out for film crews, but never did - they are a sly bunch.
Also,
going back to the last thread. I was embarrassingly remiss in not mentioning another main attraction of re-listening to the MYOKOMw/SAS Bluestone episode, which is that you get Kim's lost diary where she answers the question I had forgotten the answer to and been too self-conscious to ask again - why Toronto is called t-dot. Just a kick-ass podcast all-around!
I can't believe I missed those old podcasts - what was I thinking? Agree that it would be good if they could be uploaded somewhere.
I'm not a sci-fi expert but I love my horror films and can't wait for Grindhouse. I've checked some Masters of Horror and The O'Quinn is in one of the upcoming Masters of Sci-Fi episodes.
Invisible Man was fantastic. I'm pretty sure that the blonde doc from that is married to Dr. Eyeliner from LOST. Oh, and I forgive you for liking Voyager. THIS TIME.
MB, no way am I kidding about Nowhere Man. That was a great show. Especially the freaky ending.
Hidden Agenda
That kid looks as horrified as if zombie Paulo pulled the belt loop on the back of his pants and dropped a deuce in there.
i watched the 1st DVD of Nowhere Man. I wasn't into it. It might be because everyone was hyping it as an updated version of The Prisoner. The premise was cool and all, but it felt like one of those shows like Walker Texas Ranger or The A-Team which feel like the Stuntmen and 2nd unit pooled their money to make a show. Lots of explosions with people jumping off of trampolines. I think the fact that i knew it was cancelled before its time and thus had an unresolved mythology probably factored in there too.
But The Monkees are one of my all time favorite shows, so what the fuck do i know.
Sopranos was solid.
That commercial they ran for all of the new HBO series was kind of scary. So many new shows. I guess they're losing a couple this year but it seems like a lot to juggle.
Juliet's got a lot of 'splanin' to do.
andrew.
We can't put the classic J.B. episodes up anymore - but they'll always be remembered as the best!
I'm with Kim too on the Dylan visits his grandma in Dallas story. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard when he tries to impersonate that old catatonic lady moaning, and the old guy shouts at her "quit talkin!"
w00t! an Aimee appearance!
now, where the hell did you girls find that Easter photo?
Sorry; I've actually been doing...gulp..work today...
I didn't post this thread, so I have no idea where the photo came from!
Aimee - oh well - that's too bad. is that also true of the Grandmother Bingo episode? (sorry if I'm prying too much)
I forgot to say b4 - welcome back Ben. Glad you decided to stick with the blog - wouldn't be the same without you.
Aimee - I'm sorry but work is harmful to the health of this thread - we can't have you doing your job
i too did not post the photo either. i am not sure how many people have access to the page, but i am sure we can figure it out.
the person who posted that picture is the SAME person who IMed Michael on Funkatron Island last season. dun dun dun!
That basically leaves Craig, Dylan, and possibly Kim? Unless Sir Benjamin posts sometimes.
maybe it was dylan and the picture is from one of those japanese horror movies? :p
It was also posted extremely early in the morning, so that's another clue. I suspect Japanese Pete.
i also suspect japanese pete. unless craig or kimberley were up late.
ben does not have the password. i think that aimee is the only one that i gave the password to.
ralph, you'd be a Madman to give the password to ben.
No guys, it was me. I posed this crazy picture. It was too funny NOT to. (You can tell it's just a bunny's face photoshoped onto Santa Claus--I found it online)
I also posted it in honoUr of Ben. The last thread was over 100, so I dedided to make it easier for him to read
K
PS> Don't hate me
I have something I need to confess. I don't know why I think of myokomsas everytime I see Chuck Norris. What was the joke? I've always wondered but have been too embarrassed to ask.
lol...don't hate me because I'm a bad speller.
also ben, don't hate me because I'm razzle dazzlin' ya
and blogger don't hate me because TLI: Left Behind will be up...tomorrow :(
~K
Ralph, you never gave me the password, Craig did. Kim, we should've assumed it was the Canadian all along...how's the editing going?
it is indeed a deeply disturbing picture.
perfect for Easter!
that means i have never given anyone the password. cool. Kim, the picture is terrifying.
Steph, Chuck Norris was just another recurring joke on MYOKOM w/SAS. I can't remember when exactly it originated.
Aimee--I was rudely awakened this morning at 4:30 in a panic to come into work. After my week of "vacation' another reporter booked her vacation, and my "boss" (the person whom I hate more an anyone on the face of this planet) forgot to schedule someone to cover her shift.

Now I'm in the middle of my regular shift and I'm sooooooo groggy.
I remember Chuck on MYOKOM w/SAS very early on. In fact, I sent them a Chuck Norris story before the call in show, so it must have been a long recurring theme.
Aimee, why can't you post the Jonathan Bluestone episode(s)? Is there a specific reason....or is it a secret?
Is there a MYOKOM embargo?
Jimmy, I hope you're feeling better.
Holli
don't forget about mark zimmer and his segway, people.
There is a specific reason Colin, that involves the real JB complaining. Apparently his wife is a high official working for the State Department or something, and his panties are all in a knot about the MYOKOM lies and propaganda about him. Which is silly because 1) everything they said was true because it was experienced firsthand by Scott & Steve, 2) there is no office of the State Department in Oklahoma (I checked), and 3) in prior conversations he's claimed to never have been married and current online websites claim the same thing.
Good ol' JB...
But anyway, we can't post the old JB episodes.
If I got a call at 4:30 in the morning telling me to come in to work, I'd quit. But I can say that since I'm on vacation this week! (Now watch my boss call me in a panic wanting me to come into work!)
April
Aimee, that could possibly be the funniest thing I've ever heard. Wow.
When it comes to JB, you really can't make this stuff up.
The other night at work, I had a patient named Charles Norris. Every time I walked in his room, I'd think "Chuck Norris. MYOKOM SAS. HeeHee." I don't know why I was so amused.
JD remind anyone of this guy?
Wow. That's amazing that JB heard the podcast.
JB, rather.
Palmer, that's awesome. Gotta love the original Office.
who claims the kablamo on the next post?
OMFG Aimee - thank you for sharing that. I cannot think of a more perfect final word from JB. This will make me smile like an idiot the rest of the day. wow!
Palmer - perfect scene. I've got to watch me more original Office.
DAMN - KABLAMO!!
....late again MB - shite
MB, congrats on the post there.
that scene is even better for me because the office (as in my office) is going out to Go-Kart it up this weekend. i've got a one year old's birthday to go to though so i can't make it. it'll be worth it though cuz i'm getting the kid some stuff from wrybaby.com. i'm easily amused but some of that stuff is hilarious.
This is about the funniest Lost related thing I've seen:
ChuckNorris
Elias, I stumbled about the Lost Chuck Norris facts a few weeks ago, but completely forgot about them. Thank you for posting them!!
My 2 favs:
- The Numbers are Chuck's favorites, in memory of how many days old he was when he made his first 6 kills.
- All the people on the show with missing limbs ran into Chuck at one time. They were the lucky ones.
Man I wish I could get away with buying some of that stuff for my kids. That's funny. I wish my daughter could read - I would put the "No Whining" button on 24/7 an I could just point to it, without using precious oxygen to speak.
LMAO - Laughing hard again. had not read the Chuck Norris facts b4. god thats good!
I think this is that time of day when all the people east of me are finishing work and trekking home. I always notice a lull around 2pm my time.
Yeah mb. I notice that as well.
I'll keep you company, mb. I've been home all day. Well, except when I went to WalMart to try to find half price Easter candy.
Does everyone here work 8-5?
I work all the time; I'm a SAHM.
Holli
Does anyone know what Twitter is? I have an account but I don't know what it is.
Oh, Holli. I don't know which is worse- a sahm or working full-time. I'm now a little of both. I work part-time.
I love what I do much more than when I worked 50-60 hours and didn't have a kid. And I'm too Type A to work well part-time. I know, I've seen myself try.
Holli
Oops - I say that and then I disappear :) Thanks Steph and Holli and Jordan and...hell thanks to everyone!
I work 9-5 and then occaisional weekends at a freelance job
Steph - good idea on the candy - is that for next year or immediate gratification?
mb, I intend to save it for all year, but candy doesn't stay around long if it's near me. I have a HUGE sweet tooth.
We're now off to tae kwon do. Man, if I knew this took such a commitment, we would have done something else, as far as extra-curicular activities go.
At least you have the foresight and try - I literally think to do that every year and then forget. I'm not sure if the braincells are leaking out my ear while I sleep or...?
Actually, eeww, something about that just grossed me out - sorry!
Well MB, at least you aren't foaming at the mouth and bleeding from the ears. Maybe that is in fact what happens to us as we age and the sonic fence merely sped it up for Patchy.
Holli
Go kick some ass Steph - you can do it
LOL - wonder why he was thankful.
Holli - what did you used to do that you were working 60 hrs/week?
This was indeed a novel way aspirin in psychology.. The gaunt countryman, with his battered hat and claw-hammer coat, was a prize of codeine an extraordinary nature.. 'Oh, well,' he says, 'let's wait and think about promethazine it...
Lawyer; litigator in fact.
Holli
I thought that might be the case (no pun intended) my wife was a trial lawyer.
Oh you've got to be kidding me - we're getting spam blogs now?
Was as well, eh? Yeah it was law school or an MBA while I was bored waiting for my husband to finish surgery residency. I went the law route. I loved school, in fact I wish someone would pay me to go to school--I excel at it. Didn't like practice too much. Lots of law firm bs, face time and all that. And I was ridiculously overpaid which has spoiled me since no one in Memphis wants to ridiculously overpay me for the same amount of work in did in So.Cal. Now I channel all that mind power into LOST. Scary, huh?
Holli
No wonder you're a Lost super-fan - all that mind energy. Are you Jacob?
No because then Shephard would be on the list.
Gotta run. Hubby home.

I know it's totally inappropriate to mention this here but Haway The Lads!
My beloved Sunderland have finally put a smile on my face.
Congrats elias! Were they expected to win?
i hope dupa jasia calls in next week to tell us about Aspirin.
i used to read my spam e-mails as beat poetry. it's amazing how well that works.
I am so trying that Palmer. You've just made my wife's night a living hell.
we've been a provincial and unfashionable club since the 1950's, haven't won anything since 1973 and we're on our way back to the Premier League. It's pathetic and unhealthy to be obsessed with anything, let alone a crap football club.
And a television show in its 3rd season(!)
congrats, elias. but look out for ads near the field for Apollo candy bars (Apollo chocolate bars for Kim) and ExposE (starring Billy Dee Williams). and if "Make Your Own Kind of Music" comes on the jukebox, know that the team is going to turn it around in the last few minutes. and someone will be smacked in the head with a cricket bat. but, eh, whatcha gunna do?
elias - Living in the hometown of the NBA's Portland Trailblazers, I can relate to the chronic disappointment. But my naiive hope seems to keep springing eternal each year. I choose (against my better judgement) to remain hopeful.
#107....
hehe nice one Palmer! I suppose I'll provide that assist.....
Oops, I threw a brick.
you've earned yourself a kablamo. use it wisely (and promptly).
I'm so jealous Memphish! I wish I had time to go to law school, but there's no way I could do it and you know...afford to live at the same time.
If anyone out there wants to be a volunteer sugar daddy for approximately three years, I'll take volunteers.
I missed the KABLAMO and my computer crashed. How f--ked up is that?
ben linus will hook you up, aimee. all you have to do is visit Mittelos Bioscience's lab. it's... not in Portland.
Aimee addressing the court - I think you're onto something. I can see that. You could go by your porn name - Terminator Wheeler. That totally works.
Off for home - talk to you all laterz
I was lucky that at the time I could get in state tuition in California that cost next to nothing. Because I am OLD! The sugar daddy thing helped too. I actually have several friends here in Memphis who've done law school part time. It's not undoable Aimee. If you can dream it, you can do it (or some such crap from Blades of Glory).
Holli
Ben,
I like me some voyager too. There were 2 great seasons of that show
There are three words that describe why those seasons were great. "Seven of Nine" not only was she hot, but her storyline was great.
And who cares what the trekkies think. Beside they call themselves trekkers now.
Hey,
That horrified kid looks like Larry "bud" Melman. RIP.
I would not have the patience to go to law school part time. It would take too long to finish! It's bad enough that full-time takes 3 years, and even I would try to find a way to finish faster than that. I squoze out my B.S. degree in just under 2.
I'd much rather go with the sugar-daddy plan. Ben Linus is tempting, but I don't know if Mystery Island School of Law is even an accredited institution. My top sugar daddy choices are John Krasinski, Gerard Butler, and Jorge Garcia, because I heard he's single now.
I was about to ask if anyone had insight on getting money for school. Looks like you guys all had to pay for it. Since I now have time, I'm going to look into school in the fall. Now that I don't work full-time, I'm less likely to punch a nurse in the nose so maybe I can continue in my current field. On second thought, naw. Ironically, I've found a federal loan that would be forgiven if you go into the medical field and work in an impoverished area. Surely I can find something for the tech industry. Can anyone help me out?
3 hot actors for sure. But think big:
MultiBillionaire
Steph - in England the government paid for us to go until recently. They even used to give us student grants.
It's still only about £1000 p/a to go to Oxford or Cambridge, if one is smart enough to get in.
Wow, Elias. Anyone can go to school, free? I'm sure I'll find money. I'm determined that way. Now I just have to decide what take.
Goofball,
Believe me, I know the difference between Trekkers and Trekkies. I used it in the pejorative sense, to show how low I had sunk by acknowledging my Voyager love that even the lesser of the two groups looked down upon me. But you are way too right about Seven and her storylines. Every Star Trek series needs a character straining to be human, and so much the better if they're also straining to explode their catsuit.
I failed to get Easter candy, or check the blogspot all afternoon. It got crazy wicked busy at work. I do not look forward to returning there tomorrow, unless those work elves I keep waiting for have finally done their job and mysteriously taken care of all my work in the middle of the night. Just to be safe, I better make sure I go in tomorrow.
I'm still locked out of my blogger password.
-Ben
We can get blogger spam, but Ben can't log in. Isn't the new blogger great?
Holli
blogger spam is mildly amusing but i think i'd rather have Ben posting than the spam guys.
maybe we could compromise and have ben post spam?
Ben posting spam is sure to be entertaining complete with colorful words.
Happy Lostnesday Eve.
Happy Wesh Birthday Eve!
Two blogspot birthdays in two Wednesdays. Wow!
I think Wesh's avatar is in response to that bunny photo on the front.
Holli
Wesh's avatar is legendary. It's even appeared in a dream of mine a looong time ago.
Domo Kun is the man. I watched all his commercials once. Crazy stuff.
10 minutes of Domo Kun thanks to a quick YouTubing.
Does Seaman Speed get to watch commercials like this all day?
/Obligatory Japander.com Link
Joe Montana rules.
I hope Jimmy or Kim posts a podcast soon. That bunny scares me more and more everytime I see it.
Holli
This is for Kim and work situation.
Holli
aimee, check out the Schwarzenegger commercials. they are fan-freakin-tastic.
The bunny picture makes me think of this. If this doesn't work, I give up.
so, who saw 24 last night? gotta love jack bauer going apeshit on terrorists. but, yes, Walker (Texas Ranger) could take him.
this season has been a bit disappointing but last night was a 'Classic Jack' episode.
although, i'm not sure how anything would ever top the neckbreaker in the sports stadium at the end of season two.
p.s. i miss Desmond's 24 character's girlfriend from last season. :(
I agree Palmer. I mucho agree!
i also miss kim and aimee. i need my TLI fix. too bad that kim got roped into covering someone else's shift the other day. i hate stuff like that.
after lengthy deliberation I have decided that I am ready for a new TLI Podcast.
I hope the writers don't forget about that throw-away line they gave to Tom in Not in Portland. I'm curious to see eactly what kind of history Juliet and Ben have.
~~~ TLI would like to issue a formal apology for the delay in broadcasting and would like to thank everyone for their patience and dedication. I expect the episode to be available soon. ~~~
Steph, I'm guessing that Ben & Juliet both dated the same guy in high school.
and they had history class together?
aimee, we forgive the lateness of the podcast. but let's get some french in the next episode. ga-row!
Ça te dit de rentrer chez moi et de faire des choses que je raconterai de toute façon à tout le monde?
Le francais est la langue plus sexy a mon avis. Je prevois avidement le podcast.
Yowzers. Not sure if the proper answer to a question like that is "Oui" or "Wheee!"
/wokka wokka
My thoughts exactly.
Sorry folks - I just trashed my last comment b/c I realized it may be spoilerish for some. My apologies!
Ooohh, mb, do you know the history?
Speaking of high school...
I went to school with this guy. Crack? Do people still do this drug? I thought Meth was the happening thing now.
steph, you went to high school with the guy who robbed the bank at the Masters?
was he cooler then or now? :p
Meth is so five minutes ago.
what are you on now then, aimee?
/i keed i keed
That was my question too Palmer. What drug are all the cool kids doing?
Holli
Substance D?
Aimee et Kim,
N'inquiétez-vous pas.
Nous attendons avec patience. Nous vous aimons TLI toujours.
P.S. pardonnez-moi pour mon français qui SUCKS
Steph - didn't mean to tease there - I do not know their specific history. I'll send you a message on MySpace
D is so 13 years ago.
Holli
damn it. of all people, I should have referenced Can-D as the drug of the future.
Is Can-D half price after Easter?
Holli
I think eating disorders are the drug of choice today.
You might as well face it; You're addicted to LOST.
/cheesy ass commercial
Thanks for the well wishes, Holli.
There will be no midweek guys. Bronchitis. Have been lying low from the blogs, life etc for a few days. Normality should return shortly.
Great to see the blog so busy!
J
Jimmy,
yikes - that's no fun - sorry! Are you feeling better?
Bronchitis?! You mean those huge long-necked dinosaurs? They have those on the loose in Seattle? That's crazy.
/wait... what?
Steven Spielberg presents (but won't direct)
JURASSIC PARK 4: Terror in the 206
Jimmy'd kick all ass as the star!
Yes! He would expound the Chaos Theory of Music!
Jimmy, take care. Don't let it go so long you need a shot like my mom did recently. Then she caught the flu I think from the doctor's office. Damn doctors. Oh wait, except for the one I'm married to. Actually I'm mad at him today too.
Holli
Holli,
Hell hath no fury like an attorney who's pissed off. Word.
Dude... Bronchosaurus v. the Fremont Troll. I'd pay money for that movie.
/has friends in Seattle
Yeah MB, lucky for him he doesn't really even know it yet. Hopefully I'll be off the ledge before he gets home.
Holli
Palmer - I'd pay $$ to see that movie as well - even though I don't know what the Fremont Troll is?
You could have your kid serve a summons for you - that would get his attention. (I thought about doing that to my wife as a joke)
Fremont Troll
First found out about the troll in '94. Had no idea that there was a murder and crash there in 1998. Apologies to anyone affected by that.
But, beyond that, it's a cool troll statue abducting a VW bug (not WV bus) under a bridge in Washington.
I actually live 3 blocks from the Troll. I am a Fremont lad :)
Yes, thanks all.
Funny to see my own hood on the blog! Cheers for that, Palmer.
Oh yes! I've seen that thing! A friend of mine used to live over there (near you Jimmy), it just didn't register in my brain.
That would actually be some cool CGI to see it come alive and maybe smash up thru the bridge!
Back to the topic before the creepy troll. The guy that robbed the bank at the Master's was a very popular and well-liked kid in school. I heard he's actually won some Emmy's for his video production. He has two kids, one in my daughter's grade. Sad what drugs can do.
it's kind of weird to look back at high school and play "where are they now?" and see all the weird things people have been up to (like self-destructing). and i've only been out of high school for 8 years!
/have a bachelor's degree and still can't capitalize or use punctuation on the interwebs
Yep, it's amazing to see the ones you expected great things from, end up strung out. Some you hardly even noticed, do well. High school sucks.
I just back from the Coin Star machine. It charges you almost 9% to cash in your change but if you choose the iTunes card it gives all your money. I was asking the cashier if she needed to load an iTunes card from the slip or was the slip all I needed. She said she didn't know what an iTune was. Would it be kinda normal for a middle-aged cashier in Po'ville Alabama not to know what an iTune is? Or should I be shocked? Does she not watch commercials?
"What's an iTune?"
that's fantastic. not for you who had to deal with it in real life, but for the rest of us to giggle at.
I did giggle, palmer. I couldn't gage just how funny it should be.
i've got 100 something bucks worth of coins at home in a Lindt chocolates plastic jar. i should really use that to buy something. don't ya think?
i've got a fever and the only prescription is a next generation console. too bad they're so freakin' expensive. sadness.
Buy a bunch of Dharmalars swag! Or take your wife out to a nice dinner.
Your choice.
I think I meant gauge.
I'm not married but maybe I can spend it on the girlfriend... She'd want an XBox360 or PS3, right? Right?
OK... Maybe not... :(
And where's the TLI swag, buddy?
Buy your girlfriend a Dharmlars thong.
nikki and paolo thong?
actually... paolo and thong aren't the greatest combination knowing his gastrointestinal powers.
Is there really a Dharmalars thong?
http://www.cafepress.com/dharmalars
you'll look great!
/shudder
A Paolo thong is perfect for hiding a bag of diamonds in.
Holli
MB is considering one for himself?
Or his wife. Mother's Day is the next big gift giving occasion on the calendar.
Holli
dharmalars thong + rump shaker on CD + mother's day gift = sleeping on couch
Aimee...there's no need to bring that kind of horror onto this thread. I'm not into giving people nightmares
That's right up there with the Low-Fat Vegetarian Cookbook my husband gave me when I was 7-months pregnant. Yes he's still in trouble for that one.
