Lost

I think this guy is actually 15.

So I was falling down at my Sidewalk Tweetup and my phone went to this blogsite web post about things this booty would tell her 17 year-old self and I started rolling around on the sidewalk thinking about my list.

So here are the things I would say to the me that is 17 and these are in an order that is not particular for you.

Oh also I grouped them in a way that is how I think the conversation might go.

- Keep working and your muscles will happen to you.

- I guess one day you will have a time machine and do this too.
- Don’t make any paradoxes happen, like come to see you tomorrow and not that the same time I’m here right now.

- Sell PCBM at 1.90 cause the next day it’s going to have one of those bad days and go to .00019 and stay there forever.
- Just stay away from penny stocks in general maybe?

- Hey can I cut you on your arm and then like we will see if a scar appears on my arm in real-time.

- Look what I did to our shoulder with a tattoo. lol

- You should invent Twitter and get money dollars for doing it.
- Also you need to make up Lost and Gossiping Girls because people love those shows.

- That time you break your face – don’t do that one. Also that’s a spoiler so I can’t tell you when that happens.

- One day Bill Walton will play your daddy in a movie.
- Oops spoiler space – sorry about that one, Lil’ Bri.
- Can I call you Lil’ Bri.
- Hey Lil’ Bri we should go see Mom and Dad right now and give them heart attacks. lol

- Where is our girlfriend and is it weird if I go on an excitement date with her tonight.

Those are all the ones I can think of right now but maybe I will do another part to the list later.

Would you say anything to a 17 year-old me and if you did would it be exactly what I did except maybe a little different because he’d be all like “who are you lady”. lol

How To Play My New Game Lost Tag

by Brian on June 22, 2010

in Lost,TV

I was having Lost fun on Twitter with @JoannePistonFan and @ahhhhlee when a new game decided to come and live inside my head.

It’s a cool one for sure called Lost Tag and here is how you play at it.

Instead of being “It” you get to be “Jacob” and you have to chase everyone with a water bottle.

You still try to do a tag on someone but not like a hit or slap – you need to touch them on their shoulder in a way that is gentle.

When that happens everyone has to stop and look at you and the new Jacob and pretend to have tears happening while the new Jacob drinks some water and you use your sensitive look on them.

Once they take a sip you tell them “Now you’re like me” in your destiny voice and the game starts again only the new person is Jacob.

Also while you’re doing this the new Jacob has to be acting like maybe it is going to be too heavy of a life burden or they lose two points.

At the end whoever has the most of their points left gets to be Desmond. There are ten rounds.

Don’t think I won’t play this next time there is beer or Fresca For Men inside me and other Lost fans around.

How to Swear Effectively

by Brian on May 27, 2010

in Friends,Lost,Misc

So a few people have asked when I’m gonna write something about the Lost finale.

I loved it like crazy, but don’t know how much I have to say about it. I thought it was amazing.

Once again, they managed to do something that nobody predicted yet still “fit” perfectly. This is my favorite image from the episode.

Anyway, a lot of you who have read me for years know I’m not a fan of “easy” toilet humor and excessive swearing for the sake of doing it.

It’s not that I don’t think these things can be funny, it’s just that swearing for the sake of swearing doesn’t work for me.

I was having a broadband real-time dot com chat with @kristinbrennan yesterday that addressed this further.

me: Hey Kristin

Kristin: hi b
Kristin: why are you calling me that lol

me: lol I wanted to to see what would happen

Kristin: haha no one calls me that
Kristin: except you, right now
Kristin: even my mom calls me kb

Kristin’s new status message – deathblog :( 4:13 PM

me: What does deathblog mean

Kristin: i feel like crap
Kristin: i think its allergies but im not a doctor so i have no idea what my neckup’s problem is
Kristin: but im like sore throat, clogged head headache that no matter what i take wont go away
Kristin: its just not fun

me: How long have you been like this

Kristin: the headaches have been all week
Kristin: so i took a clartin like a normal person thinking it would help
Kristin: and excredrin didnt help. i think i stuffed too many pills into me at once :(

me: Sometimes they get stuck and won’t work cause there are so many
me: And you are so little

Kristin: is that true or are you being silly
Kristin: i’m super little :(

me: No it’s not true

Kristin: oh i hate you lol
Kristin: i actually believe you for a second

me: But KB it sounds like you probably have f***ing AIDS

Kristin: LOL!!!!

me: Can I put this on my blog

Not much more needs to be said other than figuring out what KB’s “neckup” is.

You may remember we run a company together – at the next board meeting I will bring this up.

With last episode’s revelation of who Adam and Eve are, I thought it would be interesting to go back and look at the original scene that introduced the corpses (corpsii) in Season One.

It doesn’t go anything like I remember – I guess they did some improv actoring on the TV show set.

KATE

Any idea how long this Ferrari has been -

Jack gently runs his fingers over the Ferrari’s hood. It’s super sexy for Kate to look at.

JACK

A day or two. It’s a red Ferrari.

Jack feels something VIBRATE in his pocket. Slowly removes his CELL PHONE. It is also RED.

KATE

Your cell phone is red. Like the Ferrari.

Jack slowly opens the phone, then looks at it – unsure. His screensaver is a picture of LOCKE.

LOCKE’S VOICE (O.S.)

Hello! I love Ferraris!

Jack carefully drops the phone and starts DRUMMING on his knee with his hands. He turns towards the entrance.

Locke is there, and he has a vacuum cleaner hose that stretches for MILES behind him.

Okay talk to you later.

Lost Adam and Eve

How Lost Ends Some More

by Brian on April 7, 2010

in Lost

119054_109If you haven’t read my previous How Lost Ends post, this fits snugly in with that hypothesis, so looking at that might be a good thing.

Unfortunately, it invalidates my Kate Has A Wig In Her Bag guess.

Anyway, I had a feeling about the Sideways world last week but never wrote about it because I couldn’t really pin down what I was trying to say.

This week’s episode with Desmond hit it, and I now think what I was trying to formulate is correct.

Just to verify, I said this on March 31st.

Oh oh oh oh oh I think I know what the sideways world is all about in #Lost. I’m gonna have to write at this.
8:13 PM Mar 31st via UberTwitter

Spoilers for last night’s ep, as well as speculation spoilers, obviously.

How Lost Ends

by Brian on March 24, 2010

in Airplanes,Lost

00031332These are my current thoughts after watching the Richard episode of Lost.

This is pieced together from various conversations I’ve had on Google Buzz and small private message board I frequent.

For the record, I don’t look at any spoilers, including upcoming episode titles or anything else.

There are spoilers in what follows for any episodes that have already aired, and also what I guess you would call “speculative spoilers”.

This may be a little jumbled also, but it all ties together.

How Lost Ends (Spoiler Free)

by Brian on March 19, 2010

in Fatheads,Girls,Lost

Claire Lost WigIf you haven’t noticed, I’m a Lost enthusiast, and based on this week’s episode, I’m now positive of how it ends.

I took to IM with this anonymous “Girl” in order to lay out my theory.

Since this is just an educated guess that uses my charm and intelligence to happen, it’s technically not spoilers.

Brian: I loved when claire was trying to kill kate and sayid was just watching like “hmmm that is interesting” lol

Girl: Omg claires wig kills me everytime

Brian: It’s like they just set it on her head
Brian: And like also kate’s wig

Girl: Is it a wig?

Brian: Yeah she keeps it in her backpack
Brian: We never see it I just think it’s there

Girl: LOL
Girl: Lol omg

Brian: That’s how the show ends

Girl: We finally see the wig

Brian: She puts on a blond wig and swims away
Brian: Hurley is like “who’s that” and charlie’s ghost is like “dunno mate some blond lass”

Girl: Lol does charlie pop up from the water or is he on land

Brian: He’s sitting on Jacob’s shoulders – it’s the twist

Girl: Oh ok

Brian: I know you hate when I do this but this is very much going on my blog lol

Girl: Uuughhh lol

I asked her afterward to hop on the phone – I needed to confirm that the last thing she said there is indeed pronounced, “Ooooog-hehhhhh”.

It is.

I’m pretty sure my current run of Dick Vitale Fatheads are gone, but keep sending the ideas – I may get more, who knows.

Civil War Forever

by Brian on February 2, 2010

in Lost,Retail Stores,WSM?

IMG00750You’re aware that I can go pretty much anywhere and find things to amuse myself with.

At times, this includes actual amusing things, and that’s like an exciting thing to have happen.

It’s usually at Borders, where I pretend to write and instead mess around on various hot and exclusive instant messaging platforms of some note.

Brian: This dude in Borders is laughing at something on his laptop and this woman reading “Civil War Times” is looking at him dismissively lolol

Girl: Omg lol

Brian: It’s not like there’s hot new civil war news lolol
Brian: The South – Fighting Mad! (And what it means for you!) pg 25

Girl: Unsure which side you are on? Take our quiz on page 46!

Brian: General Lee – He’s Just Like Us!

Girl: Is she wearing arm warmers
Girl: Like leg warmers but for your arms

Brian: Nah it’s a pink sweater with some kind of sweater vest
Brian: I want to start a magazine about people who read that magazine
Brian: Like we could profile her

Girl: Dude you should just start a magazine about people in borders
Girl: And sell is exclusively at borders and like people who read it and find that they are featured in it can bring it up to the counter and prove it’s them and they get like a prize or something

Brian: Lol
Brian: You know I am putting this on my blog thx

Girl: I hate when you do this trick ttyl

Once the lady left I went and picked up the magazine – there was only one copy on the shelves.

Perhaps the most interesting thing was a sizable “Note From the Editor” right at the front that warned readers there was a scam going around wherein people would call them and warn that their subscriptions were up, and that they needed their credit card numbers right away.

Says something about their target demo, which is primarily premature and naive historical enthusiasts. Not sure how you measure that.

In the back of the mag was a political cartoon that I’d guess 14 people on Earth would understand – luckily I was one, and I laughed so hard, and then I had something to bond with the laptop guy about.

FULL CIRCLE MONDAY IS WHERE I’M COMING FROM.

While you wait for Lost to start tonight, here’s the conclusion to WSM? – my Rocky Balboa moment to be sure.

{ 8 comments }

Umm…if you missed the Colorado Balloon Crisis…I don’t know what to tell you.

Falcon Heene balloon

At the start of the movie, Falcon Heene is a little boy and it says “OCTOBER 2001″ in exciting writing on the movie screen, and the audience is all high-fiving and doing cool fist-pumps together about the creative liberties they’re already seeing happen.

Well, Falcon is hanging out with his family at a secret government place with Falcon’s dad, who is Bruce Willis, and Bruce is testing his important new excitement balloon for his government boss, and that boss is a Senator, and he is Keanu.

Bruce thought it would be a nice activity to have the whole family test the balloon together, and so Falcon goes in the balloon so they can do that, and the balloon crashes into a lake, and the lake starts on fire, and that’s because the lake was filled with gasoline.

Everyone but Falcon and Bruce dies, and Keanu waves his finger like “no-no-no”, and that means no more balloon experiments for Bruce, and also Falcon does some crying about his dead Mommy.

So then like it says “OCTOBER 2009″ and Falcon is graduating from high school, and now he is Shia LeBeouf, and he is always bitter at the world, and especially at Bruce.

This is because Bruce went on Wife Swapper and swapped some money to get Falcon a new Mommy, and that Mommy is Eva Mendez. After Falcon’s graduation party, Bruce and Falcon are cleaning up, and they yell at each other about who is a man now and who is not, and that’s the meme.

The yelling stops when they hear important cars drive through the front of the house, and they go to the living room to see who would do that, and the important cars are Keanu’s, and that’s because Keanu is the President now.

Eva wears booty shorts.

Keanu’s men grab Bruce and Falcon and Eva and take them to a secret lab to work on a new balloon that can save everyone, and Falcon is wondering what everyone needs to be saved from. Keanu won’t say, and then he gives Falcon some kettle corn and sends him to watch Dancing With Some Stars, and that’s another way to make Falcon feel like he is not a man.

Well Falcon sneaks around and finds out the plan, and he is like, “No-no-no-no-no-no-no!” because Keanu is making Bruce build a new balloon just like his old one, and Keanu will use that to crash the balloon into Lake Denver, which Keanu’s men are filling up with gasoline.

Falcon uses a Google Wave trick to make everyone think they’re in virtual reality, and when they are confused he steals the balloon and launches it, and he is in it when it does the launching.

Keanu is mad now, because Falcon also called the paparazzi, and they are making the online internet go crazy about this wild balloon kid.

Keanu puts guns in Bruce’s face, and so Bruce calls Falcon and tries to tell him how to drive the balloon, but Falcon is all like, “Oh now you think you’re a good dad, well let me tell you a thing or two about your booty wife.”

Then Keanu brings up a viral video on Falcon’s screen, and it’s of Keanu’s men pouring soda all over Eva, and also teasing her with chainsaws and calling her names that are not nice.

Keanu says that if Falcon doesn’t crash into Lake Denver, that they will keep doing that, and also they will start doing it to Bruce, and then Keanu will cancel Lost when there are only two episodes left to go.

Falcon swallows real hard and that’s like time for a montage, and now the internet is really loving on Falcon hard, and the montage goes on for an hour.

When it’s over, Falcon is like, “No-no-no-no-no-no!!” because he is about to crash, and he asks Keanu to explain why he wants to kill Lake Denver so bad, and that’s because Falcon wants to at least have solid reasoning behind his exciting balloon death.

Keanu says he hates lakes, and that’s when everything starts to go crazy on the computer screens, and the balloon crashes into Lake Denver, and that’s in 3-D.

The paparazzi is so excited to have a dead kid to talk about finally, and like there’s a man running out there so he can be the guy to pull out the body, but he falls down, and the internet likes that one a lot.

Everyone takes their shovels and pops the balloon, but all that’s in there is some kettle corn. They are all like “wtf” at not getting to be famous heroes on TV, and the paparazzi shows everyone that on their touchscreens.

Back at the secret lab, Keanu isn’t sure what’s happening, and we know this because he is screaming that he isn’t sure what’s happening.

That’s when Falcon jumps down from the attic, and it turns out Balloon-Falcon was just virtual reality. Real-Falcon says he was doing a trick so Keanu would admit his evil plan, and maybe people won’t vote for him again.

They have a fistfight, and Falcon wins the fight, and Bruce admits he’s a man, and gives him beer and a passport. Also, Bruce gets diabetes at this part, so they go to the hospital, and Eva meets them there.

Falcon starts throwing up for the paparazzi, and so he touches Eva’s booty and him and Bruce like wink at each other for their cool way they figured out to be on TV, and that’s the twist, but nobody cares because for sure Falcon will have more adventures.
