Whatsit a commercial for?
Yup. Broke my heart a ~wee~ bit. :-(
Lookit the bottles they're holdin'. *grin*
We tend to say it whenever encountering something incredibly stupid or inane. :-D
Izzit Guiness? Or is that just wishful thinking? I can't quite make it out!
Mmm...Guiness...
Say... about LOST... question:
How come there's all those other people there... like some little town or something? The only episode I watched they looked like they were in some kinda town.
So... I'm thinkin'... how lost can they be? Wassupwitdat?
Sounds like a plan to me.
*sigh*
His were probably the hardest to watch last year, too. Last week's one bothered me a bit as well 'cause I'm one of the few who actually *like* Jack, though I wish he'd take a chill pill now and then.
Yup.
Drink beer straight from the bottle!
Brilliant!
It's the way they say "brilliant" that's catchy.
They've kinda settled near the beach on the island where their plane crashed. Some folkses made shelters out of wreckage and trees and stuff.
But they don't know where the island is or how to contact any help and they're wayyyyyy off their charted path, so no one has been able to find 'em.
No real town. Can't say more without spoiling stuff...
I just found it so totally implausible I couldn't hack it. Oh well.
Oooh! I got a cool post number! It was the year I graduated from high school!
What Rosie said. Just an unbeliavable, for me, premise and execution and everything.
Evenin'
I'm on ~painfully slow~ dialup at my mom's. The signal from the wireless I usually ~borrow~ from thenayber wasn't very strong. Perhaps because it's snowing here? Anyway...
osage - the story I posted the link to on the Yahoo site was about a woman who had her high school ring returned after 30 years. She believed it stolen. I posted it with the title "It Wanted to Be Found."
dialup. Windows98. I'm signing off.
I'll check in when I can.
1976 was a pretty cool year, too...
LOL! I had to laugh because something like that actually happened to us. Just after we moved to MA, SirKit went to an outing with his work group at a local lake/amusement park place. He was walking back to his car, when he looked down a found a man's class ring. We looked at it when he brought it home, and it was from Purdue Univ. That was amusing enough, because SirKit taught there for a year just after he'd gotten his PhD. Anyway, the only thing I knew to do was to call the school's alumni office to see if I could figure out to whom it belonged from the date and some initials inside it. Amazingly, they gave me the name and phone number of a guy with those initials, and I called and left a message on his phone. I hoped it wasn't a wrong number because the person receiving it would have been vey confused.
A few days later, we got a call from the man. He lives here in MA, and had lost the ring almost five years before. He was really confused when he heard that the ring had been found in the parking lot because he'd lost it while waterskiing on that lake! The only thing we could figure was that they must have dredged the lake at some point and dumped the sand onto the parking lot. It was cool to be able to return it to him.
Yeah, 1976 was cool, too. We moved to FL that year for SirKit to start Grad school! See how old I am! ;o)
And 1979 is the year our first bambino came along! Ahh. A walk down memory lane!
I was born late that year. And the next two were born in '78 and '79...
