    Please don’t hurt me, Stip!

    Shamballa: You da man!!!

    Stip, you ‘n’ me, separated at birth?

    Jammin’ Jaz: I owe that line to you. It’s one of my favorite lines ever used by anyone on this site. Hey, I want to add “best 1-liner by a theorist” to the list of awards! Since I don’t want to accused of plagiarism, can I offer to buy the right to use the phrase?

    I offer one golden ticket to any future, or past (this is Lost after all) rahft cruise. Do we have a deal?

    And please answer nicked’s question: who are you?

  8. nicked Aug 20, 2007 1:45 p.m. Comment: 8

    yeahhhh answer me ..;)

    who are you people…??

  9. shamballa Aug 20, 2007 1:55 p.m. Comment: 9

    Nicked, you may be old enough to have experienced this…

    Have you ever walked into a bar or pub full of regulars. You know, 7 or 8 folks that hang out their shootin’ the breeze (and eachother) all the time?

    You ask a question or make a comment and they kind of look at you for a second, grunt, and then go back to carrying on with eachother.

    It’s like that only online. :)

    Remember that scene where Sun is watching Jin beat a fish against a piece of wreckage… she has that sort of, “Ugh… that’s my husband?” look on her face? Like she’s really unhappy with him? It was in season one… does everyone remember that?

    I that scene right there… I’m the fish.

  11. jazprof Aug 20, 2007 2:16 p.m. Comment: 11

    poor Prof! :-(

    mebbe you’ll be returning in a future episode as a magic fishbone… :-)

    Stip…all yours buddy. “Cause I don’t need to say it anymore, just be it…

    Jammin Jaz,” heh, you know that thing that’s keepin ‘em from reaching the mainland…that’s me. I think Charlie may have changed my frequency though.

  12. Hexagon01 Aug 20, 2007 2:39 p.m. Comment: 12

    Well…if you’ve seen my profile picture, you know the answer.

  13. YouAllEverybody Aug 20, 2007 2:57 p.m. Comment: 13

    I’m the school teacher that blows himself up…..I’m pretty clumsy.

    I wouldn’t mind being Smokey, though….

  14. shamballa Aug 20, 2007 2:58 p.m. Comment: 14

    Seriously though nicked. I’ll answer your question.

    If I had to pick who I would want to be it would be Locke. I think he has the most potential to find out what the island is all about and gets to blow stuff up in the process.

  15. ProfOzone Aug 20, 2007 3:04 p.m. Comment: 15

    nick, that was actually my smartass way of saying that there isn’t a single character I feel I relate most to.

  16. hibiscus Aug 20, 2007 3:05 p.m. Comment: 16

    Once again, awesome picture Hexagon. It gives me Halloween ideas.

    I would be Claire because now that Charlie is gone she’s my favorite Lostie. I hope next season delves more into her character and what the importance of Aaron could be.

  17. shamballa Aug 20, 2007 3:12 p.m. Comment: 17

    Dear nicked (had to get a dig in on YKTN),

    I initially thought you were asking “who are you” as in us the regular kooks that comment here 24/7 and hijack threads at random.

    I understand now that it was a forthright question, realize the error of my ways and have answered accordingly (see above).

    Hopefully now my seemingly inane commentary on pub-folk might actually make some sense.

    It must be the ozone in the air because it has been one…weird…day.

  18. jazprof Aug 20, 2007 3:19 p.m. Comment: 18

    Yeah, I actually would have trouble naming a single character—I see some of myself in a lot of them, but probably the strongest identifications would be Sayid-Sawyer-Kate-Desmond.

  19. ProfOzone Aug 20, 2007 3:40 p.m. Comment: 19

    Amen, hibiscus.

  20. Jukin Aug 20, 2007 4:02 p.m. Comment: 20

    Who’s most like me in Lost …. probably Jack or Locke. I’m a take charge kind of guy but without the ego of jack and the “I don’t give a s—t about anyone else” attitude of Locke. What would I do in the Lost situation? KATE!!! :)

  21. shamballa Aug 20, 2007 4:04 p.m. Comment: 21

    No really Jukin. Don’t hold anything back dude. We’re all friiends here. :)

    I missed that post Annie79. I have some questions for you.

    Did you get to the island in ‘79?

    Do you and Ben still play tag around the old temple?

    Did Ben ever burn ants with a magnifying glass, experiment with chemicals, or seem even the least bit odd?

  38. lockeko Aug 20, 2007 5:47 p.m. Comment: 38

    definitely sawyer.

  42. lockeko Aug 20, 2007 5:53 p.m. Comment: 42

    definitely, sham, definitely, wait a minute rainman could figure out the numbers.

    but on the other hand, imagine…if u were kate…damn, i would touch myself all day long :) hihihi…no nick…dirty minded bastard..:)

  44. shamballa Aug 20, 2007 5:56 p.m. Comment: 44

  47. Stip Aug 20, 2007 5:57 p.m. Comment: 47

    Sham, I gotta go, but check out Thinker’s profile page. With a closer shave, he could pass for Richard Alpert.

  48. nicked Aug 20, 2007 5:58 p.m. Comment: 48

    richard is a freak man….time traveling slick bastard….:)

    You’re right LE. I bet Rainman could do it.

  54. lockeko Aug 20, 2007 6:17 p.m. Comment: 54

    I wonder if the radio signal hurley and sayid hear on their date is WKRP in cincinatti

  58. shamballa Aug 20, 2007 6:22 p.m. Comment: 58

    I guess your right LE. :)

    Not sure what I would do in that situation though. I’m befuddled. I’m used to my own equipment.

    Can I hetero-locate instead? I’d have no problem with that.

  59. shamballa Aug 20, 2007 6:24 p.m. Comment: 59

    Or… 97X Bang! The future of Rock-n-Roll.

    if i knew what that was I would probably say go for it.

    Thanks for your understanding, nicked. It’s the ozone apparently.

    @ prof, What?

  63. lockeko Aug 20, 2007 6:55 p.m. Comment: 63

    if I didn’t already say sawyer, I might say Jin, b/c he makes you laugh even if you don’t get what he’s saying. Plus then I could pee on Thinker/hurley’s foot.

  64. lockeko Aug 20, 2007 6:59 p.m. Comment: 64

    if prof says fred does that count?

  65. laurieloop Aug 20, 2007 7:11 p.m. Comment: 65

    I guess I would say I’m a combo of Kate and Hurley…tomboy-ish and ready for adventure, but feminine…also I have curly hair and I say Dude way too much!

  66. shamballa Aug 20, 2007 7:16 p.m. Comment: 66

    Well, boop boop de doop laurieloop. ;)

    LE, Prof was responding to one of nick’s comments from about 2 hours ago.

    I think captain my captain is having connection issues.

  67. Annie79 Aug 20, 2007 7:22 p.m. Comment: 67

    sham: to answer your questions:

    1- no

    2- yes

    3- yes, yes and no, not at all….

  68. shamballa Aug 20, 2007 7:33 p.m. Comment: 68

    LMAO!

    Thanks Annie79. That took a while. I was worried. I thought Ben might have found out about your unauthorized use of the computer and…

    Damn that Dharma 70’s equipment! Tell Ben they need to upgrade, and not just washers and dryers.

    :)

  69. Annie79 Aug 20, 2007 7:44 p.m. Comment: 69

    sham: And just how do you know if I still see Ben?

  70. shamballa Aug 20, 2007 7:54 p.m. Comment: 70

    Cause you still play tag?

  71. laurieloop Aug 20, 2007 8:04 p.m. Comment: 71

    I was wondering that myself sham…especially because I’m a geek. Why did they upgrade the washer and dryer and NOT the computer? I know Sayid mentioned something about the motherboard being replaced, but I find it hard to imagine why they wouldn’t upgrade the hardware. I guess it’s the geek in me…

    I guess you could say I’m a little bit Sayid too…

  72. iwishiknewwhatwasgoingon Aug 20, 2007 8:05 p.m. Comment: 72

    I’ve gotten a little lost trying to figure out what’s going on in this thread, so I’ll just say who I think it would be most fun to be on the island, Hurley.

    I think Hurley gets to be involved in pretty much everything but is never really in danger. So he gets all the benefits of being on the island (adventure, sun, tropical weather, and a great view) and none of the drawbacks (being shot with spear guns, being tortured by a surgeon and a real Iraqi, being exploded, drowning in a submerged station, being mauled by smokie, etc).

    Also he has a sweet van full of beer. Seriously could life be better?

  73. Annie79 Aug 20, 2007 8:05 p.m. Comment: 73

    sham: sorry, these posts are so far in between it’s hard to keep up!

    Laurie, you reminded me of an old Donnie and Marrie Osmand song…

    I’m a little bit Niiiiiiki and he’s a little bit Paaaulo!

    But seriously, there was a theory about that was posted awhile ago laurieloop. Not too bad, here ya go.

    http://lost-theories.com/theories/2007/aug/16/new-washine-machine-and-dryer/

    If me being here all day on my day off doesn’t prove I’m a geek too, then I don’t know what else would. :)

    And with that I say good night all… That’s all folks

    oops…guess I missed that one…typical noob mistake. Thanks!

  77. laurieloop Aug 20, 2007 8:40 p.m. Comment: 77

    Well….it still really doesn’t explain why replacing the W&D was more important than the computer.

  78. shamballa Aug 20, 2007 8:50 p.m. Comment: 78

    This is true. Maybe annie strong-armed Ben into the appliances.?

    And as Ben would say, “I lied”.

    I’ll be here for a bit yet.

  79. laurieloop Aug 20, 2007 8:53 p.m. Comment: 79

    I need to get tips from Annie on how to strong-arm major appliances. My dishwasher is making a funny noise!

    Ben lies?

  80. lockeko Aug 20, 2007 8:53 p.m. Comment: 80

    guys, if you were stuck with another dude in a stinky hatch for months on end, you would see why they needed a new washer and dryer. Pluse the commodore rocked

    I’d buy a few of those bobbing water woodpecker things to type the keys for me.

    Rainman could do it.

    also moving to the announcement thread, ladies may I hail you a cab?

  101. iwishiknewwhatwasgoingon Aug 20, 2007 10:01 p.m. Comment: 101

    wtf,

    Wouldn’t Hurley be the best guy to hang out with? Though I would say maybe Charlie would be a lot of fun as well and perhaps also Jin. It would be kind of fun to try to figure out what he was saying and then just say random things back to him to see what he can catch.

    iwikwwgo - Agreed Hurley and Sawyer are my fave’s they make me piss myself with there one liners, Answering the question however I think I would be a combination of a few characters, Sawyers good looks, Jacks Seriousness, Hurleys Humour, Lockes Mystery and Bens cunning.

    OK OK OK calm down I’m probally most like one of the walk in walk off characters that no one is interested in……………..

  104. iwishiknewwhatwasgoingon Aug 21, 2007 9:04 a.m. Comment: 104

    sleepz.

    I must admit, as much as I think it would be great to be Hurley, I would probably be more like Gary Troup and fall into the engine on the first episode.
