[The Swollen Goiter of God]

We didn't forget him. We mentioned him in the early days. We just didn't have any way to contact him.

[Dalty]

I left him a trail of breadcrumbs.

[Adam54]

Omi just posted in the Gas Price Roundup thread again. Apparently gas has fallen to less than $3 in Texas.

Also, can we call it? Has Omi won CA Survivor?

[Jubbers]

It was $2.95 here today. I think it dipped down because so many people are still stuck in their driveways - large decrease in demand.

[Dalty]

So you think he is wondering where the f*ck everyone is?

[Adam54]

I admire him, trying so hard every so often to keep the place alive. He's like the guy on Lost who had to push a button from time to time.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

You mean Locke? No, wait. He was the guy who was pushing everybody's buttons all the time.

I only saw two or three episodes.

[Adam54]

I think his name was Desmond? He was a British fella who was the centerpiece of what was easily Lost's best episode. He lived in a bunker under the island and had to push a button on a computer every 147 minutes or something like that to keep the whole place from going kerblooey.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

Now you've gone and spoiled the whole damned thing.

[Adam54]

Hey, at least I didn't tell you whether or not the whole island went kerblooey or not.

SPOILER ALERT:

It does. Sort of.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

Well, at least the ending isn't some sort of hokey philosophical rumination on the nature of consciousness and acceptance, where it turns out they've been dead all along and were trapped in purgatory.

[Adam54]

SPOILER ALERT....

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

I was just joking, but I wouldn't put it past them. I know at least four of the knuckleheads involved with that show's writing.

[Adam54]

Wait. In all sincerity, you haven't actually seen the ending? Because you pretty much described it shot for shot in that paragraph.

[Quasar]

Goits will never watch Lost. He will also never watch Game of Thrones.

[Mal Shot First]

Game of Thrones? More like LAME of Thrones!

[Dalty]

Game of Thrones teabags Lost whilst Lost is sleeping, and takes pics on its camera phone and e-mails them to Lost's mom.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

Wait. In all sincerity, you haven't actually seen the ending? Because you pretty much described it shot for shot in that paragraph.

I haven't, but I have heard it compared to the ending of St. Elsewhere, and I knew Jakester hated it. It also just seems like the dumbshit kind of ending one would expect from that gang of dumbshits.

[Quasar]

So I wasn't involved with the Lost discussions at the time because I was behind, but I've heard the "they were dead the whole time" thing many times, and I'm not sure I get it. From what I understand, they were never dead while they were on the island (except for the ones who actually did die while they were on the island). The "flash sideways" deal from the final season was where they were hanging out living other lives in some kind of purgatory-like place, but there they were dead and just hanging out until everybody eventually showed up. So is that last season flashes "the whole time" everyone keeps referring to? Though I don't really understand why it was referred to as a "flash sideways", because it happened in the future after they'd all died. (Though Desmond did manage to flip over to the purgatory-type world in one episode.)

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

I'll come back and explain it to you after I've watched the show.

[Quasar]

I'd like the answer by tomorrow night, 'k?

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

I flashed sideways and answered you already. You won't get to the answer for another five years or so.

[Quasar]

By tomorrow night, mm'kay?

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

Can't. I have to return some videotapes.

[Quasar]

Just do it. (Mm'kay?)
