The Meme, Lost, Brad Radby

So looks all of youse – it looks like I’ll be going off the grid for a bit – probably will post tomorrow morning and then I’m off for a week.

I have to do some vague transitionary thing that will remain vague in case my stalkers are watching/reading, and also because I’m out of jokes.

Between writing two books, a screenplay, and being on Twitter since December, I’m out of fingertips and jokes.

I’m pretty sure I’m out of words altogether, which is why I end up posting Becky chats.

Herein we continue the quest to give Devin Harris a nickname, Becky deals with the tumultuous world of the Philadelphia Airplane Station, I enjoy Dancing with the Stars and its Communist females, and we discuss potential Lost endings.

Becky: Meta time
Becky: There’s a rapper named Devin the Dude
Becky: And The Dude is also one of the greatest movie characters of all time
Becky: “The dude” could also describe “the man” as slang
Becky: Hence
Becky: The Dude
Becky: Ehv

Brian: I dunno The Dude is like sacred ground for some people
Brian: I don’t think you can give that to Devin Harris

Becky: Why not
Becky: He’s larger than life!
Becky: He makes miracle shots!
Becky: his name rhymes with heaven!
Becky: Devin sent

Brian: See now there might be an interesting thread
Brian: How about Angel lol

Becky: I would prob stop short of sacrilege
Becky: I can’t pull it off bc I am jew

Brian: I’m athiest I can do whatever I want
Brian: But I understand the name needs to appeal to those who believe in Santa, et al
Brian: How about Santa?
Brian: What about Bunny

Becky: I’m going with the dude
Becky: That’s what I’ma call him
Becky: The rapper makes it so the lebowski fans can’t get too pissy
Becky: And lebowski makes it so the rap fans can’t get too pissy
Becky: Plus it will be fun to yell “THE DUUUUDE!!!”

Brian: That won’t go meta

Becky: Well then *I* won’t go meta

Brian: You have to go meta

Becky: Fiiiiine
Becky: The Meme
Becky: Under protest tho!

Brian: No we can keep coming up with them and then put it to some kind of vote

Becky: A devin harris nickname poll

Brian: I like Bunny personally – still from LeBowski but an untapped resource

Becky: I am NOT emasculating my Devin
Becky: No sirree

Brian: But he is kinda like little like a kid

Becky: No
Becky: I am putting my foot down!

Brian: What about Puck

Becky: Nothing effeminate!
Becky: Like from the real world?

Brian: No like the midget superhero who was really tough

Becky: Actually he bears a striking resemblance to Chris Anderson
Becky: it has always bothered me that I couldn’t figure out who birdman looked like
Becky: Now I realize it was puck all along

Brian: Did you fix the airplane station yet

Becky: No is still broke :(

Brian: Uh-oh
Brian: How do you fix it?!

Becky: I don’t know :(
Becky: I guess be in it a lot
Becky: But I don’t wanna do that

Brian: Are you in it right now or in the hotel
Brian: Or was this a day trip

Becky: In the hotel
Becky: I just went to the gym and showered
Becky: Both sans berry, myyy bad
Brian: Whatchoo doing tonight are you going to motown philly

Becky: Sure am!

Brian: Dancing with the stars starts in 3 minutes

Becky: You <3 softcore porn

Brian: One of these couples is a couple in real life nobody wants to see that
Brian: They put that chick who got screwed over on the Bachelor I approve of her too

Becky: Yah I read up in Us Weekly or People or something my mom or roommate brought home that I would never purchase myself but secretly enjoy when someone else has it

Brian: Yes of course
Brian: The two replacement chicks and the two communist chicks are great

Becky: Ummm ok
Becky: Whatever you say
Becky: I’m not watching so I guess I have to defer to you
Becky: Again

Brian: We are like Jack and Kate
Brian: I am crazy and insecure and you let me think I’m the alpha dawg anyway
Brian: LT is up

Becky: So who is my Sawyer then

Brian: God I love this communist chick

Becky: You love russkis
Becky: I think I’m like 1/3 russki
Becky: So I bet you 1/3 love me

Brian: Yes it is true
Brian: Did you find a shirtless man

Becky: No, you are supposed to find him for me
Becky: Evry time I go looking for one, I find trouble instead!

Brian: Is iggy in town

Becky: Andre?

Brian: Yeah maybe he would take his shirt off for you

Becky: Those guys can all get wayyy hotter chicks than me

Brian: Now you are being like Kate!

Becky: Nuh uh not even!

Brian: I am not Sawyer at all :(

Becky: It is ok, kate and jack will end up together in the end

Brian: I think Jack will be with his family and Kate will learn she can be strong and alone at the same time

Becky: No
Becky: They’ll end up together
Becky: It is their destiny
Becky: !

Brian: Nu-uh
Brian: Why do you think so?

Becky: Just seems that’s where it’s heading

Brian: Yeah I think that’s why they won’t do it

Becky: I think there is too much there for them to NOT do it

Brian: Yeah there definitely needs a payoff but I feel like it’s too obv or clean for Lost

Becky: Just the fact they haven’t filled in the “what happens with them and aaron when they first get home” blanks
Becky: Leads me to believe the fill-in on that will eventually lead them back together
Becky: At least as a story arc
Becky: Plus the fact there are only like 30ish eps left
Becky: Everything from now on has to tie into everything else
Becky: In all honesty I’d bet one of em gets killed off
Becky: But if not
Becky: Paydirt

Brian: I want to say Jack dies and becomes Jacob but that seems obv too
Brian: Only like 24 eps left
Brian: 16 next year and 7 or 8 this year I think

Becky: Oh my damn
Becky: (This is my jam)

Brian: I think this seasons cliffhanger is going to take everything we think we know and gut it

Becky: Or gunt it even
Becky: Which is wayyy worse

Brian: True dat
Brian: What are you doing now

Becky: Finishing the pitcher of sangria

Brian: Then what will happen to you

Becky: I wish I knew$

Brian: Ominous!

And that was it – I’m pretty sure she’s dead.

Hey – if anyone wants to read the current draft of the second book, shoot me an email and I’ll send it to you. Would love some feedback.

It does tie in to Prelude to a Super Airplane, but it definitely stands on its own, as well. It’s also a quick 100-page read.
