What do I do for a living?

tracker — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:24:49 GMT

I�ve often wondered what our members do for a living. When I read the posts, my mind makes a mental picture of the writer and gives them certain attributes. Sometimes I am given some help with photos posted. I gather small tidbits of information and add them to my mental file. One thing that goes thru my mind is �what do they do when they are not posting�? How do they pay the rent?

Let me give an example:

I really enjoy MSHL posts. His posts are well written and can be very funny. He can ...

Put a face to the name!!! Post your pics :)

This is his interview if you haven't read it yet:

Last season the Lost team came over here to film scenes to work around your schedule, didn't they?

"They brought over the stars, directors and DOPs, then paid a lot of money for Connaught House and a restaurant beneath Tower Bridge. I was doing Spamalot at the time. They asked me to take the time off and go over [to Hawaii], but I didn't want to because I loved my time on Spamalot and I didn't want to miss a day. I expected they would ...

Favourite age?

TheHolyStickman — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 23:12:56 GMT

As I guess your all pretty bored waiting for Lost to come back from its vacation, I thought I start another one of these things.

What was your favourite age/ or age you are looking forward to and why? I myself don't have much to choose from; thirteen years and the first couple I can't remember. Lets see what ages I've got to look forward to.

Mine is actually this year so far. I've had to go to school for a week and I've had six weeks off, I discovered music in this time. I didn't ever ...

MollyCocktail — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 23:26:10 GMT

You thought you'd seen the last of her, but she's back. That's right, Ana Lucia. Michelle Rodriguez is confirmed for at least one episode of LOST,

the question is... will she appear as an island ghost, or does this

mean there is at least one character flashback in our future.

Some

fans may not be overly excited about this since she was one of the

characters fans couldn't wait (seemingly) to get rid of. Her exit was

made bitter-sweet by the conjoined exit of Cynthia Watros. The

Mystery of the 4 Toed Statue Solved?!

JWLost — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 09:05:48 GMT

http://lostroom23.blogspot.com/2008/04/did-other-woman-give-us-4-toed-statue.html

I don't know if any of you have seen this article or not, but I found it extremely interesting because it brings us back to the Greek mythology which obviously has a heavy part in Dharma all of this new Dharma stuff on the ARG.

Basically, it says that the combo that Ben gave Locke to open the safe in "The Other Woman" are co-ordinates. 36 15 28 will put you on the Greek island of Rhodes ...

From DarkUfo - SPOILER from Season 5

CosmicJewels — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 22:39:17 GMT

I think this is the rock formation they are talking about.

The rock formation from where Walt was held.

Quoting:

"Someone on set said that the scene they filmed previously was the set up to the shooting and chase and that involved Locke and Alpert running across the island to a rock formation with a square in it from a previous season. The guard said the Alpert character retrieves some sort of device on the way to the rock formation and he uses this device along ...

Lost RiffTrax

Lateralus — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 02:57:47 GMT

Anyone who is a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 will love this!

http://www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax/lost-season-1-pilot-episode

You can view a little sample on that page.

I was able to find a torrent download of the pilot with the rifftrax already synced up if anyone's into that. I'm not too comfortable putting a link for that on here though.

I've bought a few rifftrax before and its pretty easy to do, and way f'ing hilarious!

5.9 "Ghost In The Machine"

JWLost — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 04:05:08 GMT

Readers,

We've passed the half-way marker and everything you think you know... you have no idea. In this episode, the first episode ever to not have a person as the centric force, the focus is on the future of the island and the future of everything at stake.

Rules are broken, surprises are around every corner and deaths are inevitable as this cliff hanger to rival all cliff hangers plays out.

The Island Will Never Be The Same.

Meet the Liger

Shamballa — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 04:54:27 GMT

This isn't a joke or photoshop job. A liger is a cross between a male lion and female tiger. They get enormous because they lack a growth inhibiting gene. Below is the link to the National geographic site with more photos. Check out the name of the preserve where Patrick the Liger lives. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/08/photogalleries/ligers_dynamite/index.html

Arg Getting Better?! & TesT 3!!

JWLost — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 06:04:23 GMT

I just checked out the Octagon ARG and logged in. In the center of the Dharma pieces it says "Video Announcement" which is something new. It is Hans Van Crappenburg (whatever it is) saying about how testing has been excellent. He then warns us of an individual that goes by the name "The Black Swan" who is doing some bad thing apparently. The video, typical of a Lost Arg, breaks up during the parts that mention "The Black Swan." Now, I'm not good at freezeframing ...

Your funeral song?

wtfsignmeup — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 13:25:58 GMT

OK, I know this is in poor taste but my friends have been talking about their choices for funeral songs so I thought I'd extend the topic to you guys.

What do you choose as your funeral song.One of my sisters wants Run by Snow Patrol and my ditzy sister wants like a prayer by Madonna(I bet you thought I was the ditzy sister)....Im leaning towards Do You Realize? by the flaming Lips...But its not set in Stone....you only get one shot at this

So whats your song? Hoping for something fun ...

The cars we love & My MGB

MyStarbuckHatesLost — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 18:23:07 GMT

So Most of us have a love affair going on with a car we own or would love to own

I have two. (since I sold my 1969 GTO Judge in 1984...still kicking myself about that)

I have a 1995 Corvette...fun, fun, fun!

I get about 30 mpg mileage average so I don't feel that guilty about driving it.

But my real 4-wheeled love is my 1974 MGB (UK Losties please take note)

I bought her in 1988 and she had no interior and was several different shades of primer.

UK in recession....its official

SunburnedPenguin — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:20:52 GMT

It has now been officially announced that the UK will sink into recession next year. Great. With a mixture of a housing market slump and the fuel prices, it was inevitable really.

At the moment, we have not been personally affected....mainly due to my pay rise and my other half finally finding a decent job after being made redundant, but it was a close call. Luckily also, we have no plans to sell our house (its our forever home) so having a negative equity in the near future wont effect us. ...

#1 on DarkUfo!!!

JWLost — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:24:52 GMT

I hate to brag, hell... who am I kidding, I have to!!! 5.8 "Secret Agent Man" has been rated #1 on DarkUfo's Fan Fiction section under the "Top" category and is on the "Hot" list as well. 5.4 "Family Matters" doesn't fall far behind. The lowest rating out of 5 stars I have on any episode is 4.36 and that makes me really excited.

This is exciting not only because I have managed to make the top spot with my work, but because I am up against a ton of ...

The Eye In The Cabin

AngeloComet — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 17:39:59 GMT

To whom does the eye in the cabin belong? Specifically the eye that appeared in Jacob�s Cabin during the episode The Beginning Of The End when Hurley peeped inside. Specifically, this eye:

I remember when the episode first aired it seemed to me that the majority of Lost fans believed the eye belonged to Locke. I wondered if that wasn�t just because Locke immediately appeared with Hurley after this eye had sprung up. Here�s a close up of Locke�s eye.

To me, the Cabin Eye and ...

Rings

CosmicJewels — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 15:41:55 GMT

I had some thoughts about rings after seeing one of the last scenes with Sun talking to Widmore. Her wedding ring is clearly visible (would be her left hand) as she's speaking on her cell phone. I have a penchant for jewelry and noticed her ring had a round large stone, set in what appears to be gold, with smaller stones surrounding this center stone set in the band itself. I could not see it clearly however.

When she loses the ring on the Island it looked as if the ring was a solitaire (sans ...

Somewhere, over the patriotic rainbow.....

SunburnedPenguin — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:42:21 GMT

I have learned there are many colours to patriotism. Some are dark, ugly and rancid. Others are bright, radient and essential.

I have personally never felt the touch of patriotism, until I moved to Wales 4 years ago. I was raised in a small sea-side tourist town on the South East coast of England, and the only patriotism I ever saw in others was the wrong kind. The kind that turns football fans into violent racists. That turns the BNP into a viable option for those concerned with the loss ...

5.8 "Secret Agent Man"

JWLost — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 06:44:44 GMT

Readers,

Finally, after a long-ass delay, 5.8 is here! Sorry it took me so long, but this week was the week from hell.

Episode Synopsis: Back on the Island the "bad things" Bentham told Jack about really begin to intensify. Locke's leadership is put to question much like Harper's true intentions. Important questions are answered and secret pasts are revealed.

Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but uh... I can say with confidence that I had no clue what any of those answers were when I took the second test. It was a good guessing game. I did notice that there was some kind of cheat, but when I pressed the "I" key nothing happened....

Did any of you know any of the answers? And for the last one, what did you guys answer? I answered "C."

JWLost — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:58:26 GMT

With all the news of Ana Lucia coming back to the show for an episode, would you like to see me live true to the rumors and put her in one of mine? Unfortunately, she is going to appear in a Hurley episode, I think, in the real LOST and I have already done the Hurley episode... sooo I would have to put her somewhere else. Don't get me wrong, I could easily put her somewhere that could make total sense. What do you think?

There are prophecies from all over the world and all through time that predict the end is near. From the priestesses of Apollo to the ancient book of I Ching to the collective conciseness of the internet via the Webbot. But it is the precise date and craftsmanship of the Mayans that make their prediction so scary. The Mayans set a date for the end of the world and it is during the winter solstice, September 21, 2012 when great changes on our planet ...

Octagon Global/ Odyssey References

katesawjack — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:45:27 GMT

In my endeavor to find more clues about the ARG, I found this info :

After completing the test, users are categorized into groups; "Steropes", "Polyphemus" and "Brontes". Each of which refers to Cyclopes in Greek mythology. Steropes and Brontes appear in Heriod's poem "Theogony" as two of three main Cyclopes. It is notable that rather than using the character Arges as the final group name, Polyphemus is instead used. He is mentioned separately in Homer's "Odyssey", and plays a pivotal role ...

WHY Locke is in the coffin and other theories...

Not really a BIG theory, more like several medium theories on the course of the next Lost season that may add up to a big one.

Okay, so I was wrong way back when with my thoughtful and utterly incorrect theory on why it HAD to be Ben in the coffin. Fine, so it was Locke...I'm not bitter (grumble, grumble)

My first (and admittedly most obvious) theory is that Widmore's henchmen caught up with him and murdered him.
