Hilarious and 100% accurate. Nice shot, sir.

This more or less sums up what I love about the current front office- Seems like their statements are always like that- "__fill-in-the-blank__ is exactly who we want for the job, but if he leaves/ declines, screw 'em. We'll find somebody else." Must be great to work for an organization where a guy feels wanted like that. Lols. On a side note, am I destined for Hell because I'm hoping Kinnear's surgery goes poorly and stays out for awhile? I'm curious to see what Chris does with the team while Joe's away.

You'll have to post that again mate, Can't make out your accent Lols... Eh fookin' newsflash, innit? We is nowt all monsta lorry driving mongs...

I Love that one dipshit on YouTube seems to speak for my entire country. Here's a fucking newsflash- we're not all monster-truck driving retards. Jesus, I'm so sick of hearing the entire world regard me as a belligerent, war-mongering, uber-Christian because I'm from the States. Fuck off.

I had a dream not too long ago that I was riding in a car with a couple of my high school friends and we saw a 10-year-old boy attempting to shit on some old lady's house. I demanded my friend pull the car over, at which point I exited said vehicle. I told the boy I didn't think much of him trying to shit on this nice old lady's house. He smarted off to me. I pushed him down to the ground and happened to notice a fast-food style container of salad dressing (in the pouch like, dunno if you have them over there) which I quickly tore open and poured all over him. He ran away crying and the old lady thanked me. I've read that Chantix causes strange dreams as a side effect. I can vouch for it with the above story.

Let me find a tissue. shocking of chelsea, typical of that smug fuckhole kenyon, and abramovich. typical like. a manager getting judged on results. Side that expensive ought to be able to win more than 4 of it's last 12. Manager or not. (and those 4 were WBA, Boro, Stoke, and Bolton. Stiff competition, there...) Fuck 'em. Hope they pull a Leeds and can't make the rent.

Hadn't seen those before. The space tiger made me lol pretty hard.

No kidding. I was pissed at him when he pussed out in Saving Private Ryan, now I'm pissed that he's witholding info! It's been another slow night at work (knock wood) so I've been on Lostpedia most of the night trying to get a handle on the time traveling. I guess one thing I sort of overlooked about the time traveling is that in The Constant (the one where Desmond is flipping between '96 and '04), Des is only traveling in his mind- his body isn't going anywhere, it's just his consciousness. The whole constant as a yardstick/ watermark/ bearing point makes sense that way I guess. What's confusing me now is the Losties aren't doing the consciouness time travelling, they're actually time travelling- mind and body. According to Lostpedia,'s summary of The Constant, the rat (and Minkowski, apparently) has a brain aneurysm because, "She couldn't tell the difference between the past, present, and future." Now, why exactly waking up and not knowing what day it is leads to an aneurysm is anybody's guess, but it seems like to me, I'd be a hell of a lot more confused if my mind was traveling into different versions of my body based on age than if my mind and body both made the jump into a different time... However, seems like several folks who are currently jumping with both mind and body are getting the nosebleeds, so I guess that's pretty confusing as well. Still bugs me we're nearly a quarter of the way done with Season 5 (Ep 4 of 17) and we're still more or less spinning our wheels on getting the jolly 6 back to the damn island. EDIT: Oh, and if anyone needed proof that the LOST writers didn't have all of this stuff pre-planned- WALT. The whole Walt thing has totally been fucked from the beginning. They were making him out to be all-important, then forgot about him I think because he got too old in real life to be part of a story that has only been taking place for 104 days or so. If they'd been planning from the beginning, they'd have shot all of his scenes in advance so he was still a kid instead of a kid then suddenly a boy in his early teens.

You know what's funny to me about this whole thing? All Ashley really had to do to make money on this thing was not fuck this up. That's it. Do you have any idea how many professional sports teams/ clubs would kill to have loyal fans like Newcastle fans? Folks who year in, year out will attend the games no matter how good/ bad the team is? Buy all the new merch? Buy season tickets? Support the sponsors? Last time I looked, even with all the drama of this season, NUFC still boasted the 3rd highest average attendance in the Premiership this season. 3rd highest for Christ's sake! (behind only ManU and Aresenal, BTW) Honestly, it might have taken a little more time than selling off decent players and turning a profit via the transfer window, but seriously- all that fat bastard had to do was pay off the debt and just not fuck up. He didn't even really have to succeed. Amazing.

I don't know, man. This time-travelin' thing needs some more well defined rules or something because right now it just seems too all over the place. I mean, I realize it's a show about a island that can jump in space-time, but you still have to have at least a sembalance of rules to make stuff like this work. I don't want to give it away for those who haven't seen it yet (it's on Wednesday nights here in the States), but the guy who has been MIA for this season so far is time traveling now too? Eh? How the fuck's that work? How's he even alive?

Man, I tell ya, this season 5 needs to get a hell of a lot fucking better in a hurry. These first four episodes have been much shittier than any other season I can recall. I hope this whole season isn't all about the rigamarole bullshit to get the O6 back to the island. It's already getting tiresome.

This thread has been immensely entertaining this evening. Made the work-night go by much more quckly.

No doubt- even when LOST has been shit, it's still better than 90% of what else is on. For what it's worth, I didn't really think Season 3 was bad at the time. I do now because it all feels so tacked-on and unnecessary. Hopefully, that will change in the future and even Season 3 will become important.

Wow, I hope no one explains to him that AIG has taken a whole LOT of my government's money while continuing to support the front of the ManU kit or he'll really be disappointed.

I hope your 'IMO' turns out to be true that we're not 'down' but nailed to the bottom 5 - 6. I've been very lucky for the past 2 seasons having seen every Newcastle league game plus some cup games via the Fox Soccer Channel and the Setanta channel be it LIVE(mostly live) taped-delay or repeat. If we go down it's all over, FSC does not show Champions league games and Stanta usually one a week and you know that won't be us every week. QFT.

I'm really hoping we hear about how the go-kart outing went a couple of weeks ago.

Well that sounds official. Doesn't at all give the impression that they have no idea what happened. Lols...

Yeah. I thought we were laughing about Gobbler's Knob. The name Gobblers Knob is meantioned throughout the film. Right. Er, you know it's a real place, right? Otherwise I don't know what we're on about.

Don't worry, it doesn't. That wins!

Yeah. I thought we were laughing about Gobbler's Knob.

Charles We'HardlyKnewYa

Yup. It's funny to us even.

Hello?

Yeah, season 3 was by far the worst season so far. Season four is actually pretty solid.

Probably not, but I'll give it a shot! Like pretty much everything else on the show, it's not been fully explained yet, but it seems as though the Oceanic 6 were not meant to leave when Ben turned the big ice wheel in last season's finale, so the theory is the island is skipping around in time because the O6 are not present. Ben and Co. want them to go back to the island so it'll stop flailing about like Jose Enrique trying to call offisdes. It has not been officially revealed. There is a ton of speculation about it on the net. Personally, I think it's a monument to/ of the natives from the island (like Alpert?). The island appears to have healing properties, at least when it comes to Locke. He's been shot a couple of times now and turns out to be fine in a few hours/ days. As to why exactly, who knows, but apparently the island wants him to walk, so he can walk. It probably has something to do with him being the leader of The Others/ Jacob/ whatever. Join the club. I think the first season was somewhat mapped out- at least to a storyboard level. Maybe they didn't have every detail worked out, but I think a lot of it was. Not wanting to repeat a Twin Peaks kind of deal where once viewers got to see who killed Laura Palmer they stopped watching, the writers just kept on introducing new stuff. Around season 4, the powers that be realized they'd introduced too much crazy shit and they needed to start wrapping things up. This is when everyone sat down and decided there would be six seasons of LOST. With everyone on the same page, they could start wrapping up small stuff, but have a solid timeframe on when to make the big reveals and not risk the Laura Palmer phenomenon. Sure. They're bad and usually dispelled by anyone who watches the show closer than me, but I've got some.
