— solarchap
A shameless bird being killed with 2 stones….
First, I use this as a platform to say cheers to ozzig, dabs, lockeko for their comments, the old faithful users are the best! But where is the rest of the clan gone? some very good new users on here too, but too many to mention, but Angelocomet & Lost-Dbutz are among them.
It is still a ‘tale of two cities’ in regards the Trolls though.
Second, if you want to see penguins fly as advertised in the title then goto: (90 seconds long) http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/epeng001.shtml?src=ip_potpw
if you are a non U.k user, goto youtbe instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYVBaTD0zqw
I tie it in very loosely to LOST as penguins are black & white, and in this video they fly to a tropical island, DHARMA’s resourcefulness knows no bounds!
cmon, a) it’s BBC, so you know it’s good, And B) it is a bit of fun
will be available to watch for six more days only on bbc i-player.
Hi Solar, Just to let you know the Player says it only works in the UK!
Some of the long time theorists are still around, in watch mode only! Some of us, like Ozzig and myself in are in here for the long haul.
We, like you, are longing for the return of many of our old friends and theorists, to join us once again, along with some very good new theorists who are making positive contributions to the site.
The black and white of things, are after all, only shades of grey. The lines between them, become more distinguishable as time evolves, with a good eye!
Stick with us! +1
Ah Dabs, I did not know it only worked in the uk!
ok so I have just found it on youtube:

sorry about that! (I will edit my not-a-theory and include it now cheers)
‘the black and white things are after all shades of grey” see thats the type of excellent thing I have missed from the good contributors on this site! nice one :-)
you have to admit thought, when I grew up reading about bily-goat-gruff, little did I know in the real world as an adult (MANY years later I might add!) there are real life Trolls and they are vile and I don’t mean that in the Vortice sense!
Cheers Dabs good to know some old faves are stilla round! if Jac
Thanks for the cheers SolarChap. Glad to know some of us old-timers still count for something. Why, I can remember when ProfO was still running around in those little Lost diapers…(see, if he was here, he’d be able to call me out on that !) But AC is all grown up now, a regular oldster. I would tell you how old, but I’d have to check his teeth first, and I doubt he’d let me……
solarchap & dabs: I guess that I’m part of the old guard and have never left. This site is still the best on the net for Lost ideas. I only speak for myself when I say ‘Never say die’!! Long live LT!!!
Ok, now I saw the vid, that was great! I’m always watching nature and science programs but never saw anything on flying penguins!
Solar, Many thanks for fixing the Player! That is a cool video!
See, now Thardie be one of the old-timers, Solar! We knew you hadn’t lost us, Tharde!
Darn, those penguins look kind of funny, it could be the brandy though….
And by the way, much as I would love to look at theories right now, and we have a lot of good ones of late, I’m just not in a theorious mood. We should kudos some of the good new posters here.
and the old guard start emerging…..
Tharde you are definitely old-school! good to ‘see’ u!
glad u got to see it dabs, it’s quite mad isn’t it, and yes I can see now AC has been around a while, but not long enough for his free bus-pass yet! he should be given one anyway for his insightful inputs.
ozzig, “Why, I can remember when ProfO was still running around in those little Lost diapers” LOL thats the funniest ever!! made me lough of loud literally!! where is the Prof? where is Kat?
and it’s got me all teary-eyed reminsicing about Kat, Stip, Sleepz, mrssawyer, shell, pg18, & of course I see we still have holystickman & risebysin which is great. I’m sure there are others but I’m tired , it’s 1:38 a.m over here in blighty.
In ‘them days of yore’ I’m pretty sure the only troll was the infamous ‘steve’, he seems to have spawned a monstrous offspring.
Some many users now, hard to keep up with them, “Things change so quick these days dearie..but a change is good as a rest etc etc
To all the old-guard. and to all the new-guard, and to those somewhere in between, it’s always a pleasure :-)
I’m fairly new to the site… and I get the sinking feeling that i am one of these trolls i keep hearing people reference…… well….. AM I !!!!!!!!! Is it one of those things where if you dont know who the sucker is at the poker table its probably you? Someone please explain what a troll is too me.. Just a dummy?
Solar, a few of the oldies, but goodies have left, and may return in future. Many are still around and post occasionally You have mentioned some of them above.
There are some very good NEW contributors as well. I would be remiss, not to name them, but am afraid I might not get all of their names.
How about if we just say, hello to all of the old and new alike!
I hope your studies are going well!
wikid, cheers dabs, 4 weeks to go until final exams….can’t believe it, all these years of studying/drinking & now I am going to have to get a job!
what_now, I wasn’t sure if you were asking a serious question, or if it was trollish-rhetoricalness, so I looked you up, checked your theories and, no you are not a troll from what I can see!
TROLL: Troublesome Regurgitative Obnoxious Loathed Lonely
Sad pathetic creatures, not dis-similar to Gollum, who spend their time spewing foul and rancid detritius at the expense of us all.
Nice vid solar!LOL
Whatnow, I don’t think you’re a troll!! But that’s avery good question! What indeed is a troll! The line of distinction is so often blurred! But you are not a troll.
Hey solarchap, nice to hear from you! I guess my category would be “somewhere in between”. lol
Amazing video, thanks for sharing and good luck with your finals!
Solar, Keep up the drinking!!! Looks like the education hasn’t hurt you a bit either!! lol
Congratulations, and Good Luck on your endeavours, although you will hardly need any luck!! Seems like you have all your bases covered!
Kudos!
Thanks solarchap!
SolarChap, I really liked your Cancer and Immortality theory, you should do some more on that!
Annie you can be old with me, I need the company. Dab is too perky. I feel like Kathy Bates next to Reese Witherspoon. Or maybe I should just go to bed now…they say things look different in the morning.
Ozz, You are bad, you she-devil!! And you are way off base with Perky!!! lol It’s called feisty, Ozz, feisty!
But, it’s all good, so I’ll take it! lol
ok now I quirt fixing my typos it taskes way too long. Solarchap is all your fault you hould have done this on a weekensd when it was ok for me to get drink. I think I;ll go listen to some ACDC now, mood music to brighten my soul, Hells Bells here I come!!!!!
thanks for the shout out solar. You’re an allright kinda cat.
Okay, I get it now Ozz, you’re drunk, so by morning I will have turned from “perky” back into “the biatch” again! “Same old song and dance”! Aerosmith. lol
hi everyone
i agree with lockeko hope the old members come back soon
peace out.
mmmuuaaaaa to dab
What is this? A M.A.S.(Mutual Admiration Society) or a forum on Lost Theories? Quit your ego stroking and get back on topic!
Im new. Praise me dagnammit. I’m spethal.
LMFAO @ wtfsignmeup hehe, thats what my window sticker says :) :)
Seeing Terry Jones of Monty Python fame was a bonus. Great BBC spot. Thanks solarchap.
“They’re old Soviet robot penguins. They were used to spy on US Nuclear submarines under the icecaps. I have one in my basement but I can’t get it to work.” — ClownFight, YouTube user.
What’s that!? A distress call for the return of the old users?
Oh… bugger… My name wasn’t mentioned. ;)
Look up in the sky..its SuperSham!
DD, I hope ClownFight was joking.
I think I have to be classified as an old new member. However, I think the important thing, whether new to the site or otherwise, is to make sure your posts are not past it.
Or as Indiana Jones would say: “It ain’t the years, honey, it’s the mileage.”
I think I’ve done a lot of mileage. But at least I’m still beautiful! ;o)
Thanks for the kind words, and I’ll second my nod of approval for the vocal, active “old guard” still manning their posts.
Wow man, I feel like i’m back in season2 times and I’m loving it!
Annie & shams, i have flagellated myself for not putting your names, but in the monty-python sense and not the da-vinci-code sense!
Let me big you both up right now,…Shams, you are man who can hold his own and are verbose in a bombastic style! Nice picture!
Annie, if there was an award for the ‘most welcoming, most sanguine, most inviting, most nice said things to users, especially new users, then that award would be yours. solid staunch old guard, the pair of you!
Could never bring myself to call you biatch dabs, thats why i have always called you dabs! Feisty is good!
ozzig…..”Kathy Bates next to Reese Witherspoon.” LOL you have an inventive mind! too much AC/DC and Courvoisier can do that!
The daddler, do you mind :-) we are all lovin this egostroking Purrrrrrrr!
WTF! another solid contributor howzit goin!
el nino how the devil are you!
Double D…”do you know flight velocitites of swallows? European not African of course!”
AC Thats what I’m going to tell the ladies from now on!
Jax…you are indeed ‘spethal’ and I like you rname coz its singular but pulral and i have ambivalent feelings about it!
ok I guess we should all get back to some theorising now and keep the daddler :-) and everyone else happy, but what a wonderful nostlagic moment, I shall print it out and keep it for my dark moments when I need some reminding that this site and it’s users, are like LOST in that the seasons may change in unexpected ways but it’s always been about the characters really.
Keep rocking
im fine solar good to see you back.
sham i made a fool of my self i tought you were gonna leave the site for good. my bad
