  - Go... CRAZY! -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 24, 16:20
you know, i can't believe i'm so old these days that the two-day hangover is the norm. what the crap is that about? -- nm - kare May 24, 16:12 13
- maybe you're also dealing with the emotional termoil of the wedding and having a male stripper shake that thing in your face - zeitgeist May 24, 16:36
- [deleted] 1
  - how much do you people drink? -- nm - workmanda May 24, 16:52
- eat pizza -- nm - Remlik May 24, 16:19 2
  - lol - i did yesterday. and i did for lunch. and in a bit, i'm off to a pizza party for my nephew's b-day - kare May 24, 16:20 1
    - well back on the diet tomorrow! Pizza is used for fighting hangovers so you're allowed! -- nm - Remlik May 24, 16:21
- women are *lushes* -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 16:16
- Yeesh. But not surprising, considering this: -- (link) - Dr.Vermin May 24, 16:14 2
  - I've heard of aerosolizing alcohol and I've known some friends who shot it up an arm vein, but that sounds like an onion story, for real? -- nm - zeitgeist May 24, 16:35
  - oh good christ. that's the second most horrible thing i may have ever seen. -- nm - kare May 24, 16:16
- I hate 2-Day hangovers... - Mel Profit May 24, 16:14 2
  - *yes* - i agree about the stealth hangover too. seriously not cool. -- nm - kare May 24, 16:15 1
    - you want to tell your body... - Mel Profit May 24, 16:16
BPGLobalPR Twitter Feed: Doing our best to turn oil into oilinade. So far the stuff tastes TERRIBLE. -- (link) - Dano May 24, 16:11 3
- "yeah, I guess we'll give $ to charity. UGH" -- nm - nubby May 24, 16:45
- "If we had a dollar for every complaint about this oil spill, it wouldn't compare to our current fortune. Oil is a lucrative industry!" -- nm - Reagen May 24, 16:12 1
  - hee! -- nm - Booby Bishop May 24, 16:14
(And this has to easily be the most discussed episode of television since I joined TT.) nm - Dignan May 24, 16:10 28
- I think the finale of Survivor Heroes/Villains got more discussion than Lost has. - Callisto May 24, 16:17 3
  - I disagree. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 17:05
  - with good reason - sideways pixie May 24, 16:19 1
    - ha -- nm - Jovian May 24, 16:20
- Sopranos ending got a lot of talk -- nm - eag May 24, 16:12
- It kinda felt like the finale to Sopranos was discussed as much. (nm) - musubi May 24, 16:12 19
  - Really, there wasn't a whole lot to discuss about The Sopranos finale. nm - Dignan May 24, 16:14 1
    - I never watched it, so I didn't participate in that discussion, but it certainly felt like it was much discussed. (nm) - musubi May 24, 16:16
  - BSG and Sopranos both were. I'm actually surprised Lost hasn't been discussed more. Individual episodes at the start got more threads. -- nm - David May 24, 16:13 16
    - I think BSG was discussed more on the BOP boards than here. - musubi May 24, 16:14 15
      - It's possible. I do blur them together at times. - David May 24, 16:18
      - There wasn't a ton of BSG threads here. - Dignan May 24, 16:17 13
        
        dude, dont listen. This Lost finale has gotten unprecedented chatter on ST today. - Jovian May 24, 16:22 12
        
        I have 87 tabs/threads open. And that's not including a ton of Lost threads unrealted to last night's episode. Survivor was nowhere close. nm - Dignan May 24, 16:30 10
        
        Mel disagreed. FWIW, there were about 120 posts that mentioned Survivor in that 4 day period. - David May 24, 16:36 9
        
        for what it's worth I don't mind what people post about... - Mel Profit May 24, 16:43
        
        I would guess there are over 500+ Lost posts today/last night. - Dignan May 24, 16:38 7
        
        (There's approximately 180.) -- nm - David May 24, 16:43 6
        
        Lost posts? - Dignan May 24, 16:45 5
        
        Yes and it's also the way I did Survivor. Feel free to do your own counts. More than anything, I wanted to re-read the BSG discussions. -- nm - David May 24, 16:47 4
        
        You're way, way off. Hell, I was too conservative with my estimate of 500. nm - Dignan May 24, 16:49 3
        
        FWIW, the last 500 uses of spoil/spoilers goes back to May 10. -- nm - David May 24, 16:52 2
        
        Dude, I'm looking at the threads right now. They're very real. - Dignan May 24, 16:56 1
        
        and spectacular? -- nm - Reagen May 24, 17:01
        
        You gave the BSG finale an A. I was just looking at the thread. -- nm - David May 24, 16:26
- more than the first Survivor finale (i wasn't here then)? -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 16:11
- I honestly did not expect to still be talking about it this late in the day. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 16:11 1
  - ditto. - Mel Profit May 24, 16:12
The Texas Rangers filled for bankruptcy today. Their largest creditor is - Krusty May 24, 16:04 11
- Blow is expensive. -- nm - Ron Washington May 24, 16:39 1
  - I cannot believe he kept his job after that. -- nm - David May 24, 16:44
- just make him a 1% owner -- nm - peglegpete May 24, 16:10
- i wonder if he's an unsecured creditor - sideways pixie May 24, 16:09 5
  - The union would lose their minds if his contract wasn't paid in full. - Krusty May 24, 16:12 4
    - in bankruptcy, unless you're a secured creditor, the trustee don't give a good damn - sideways pixie May 24, 16:15 3
      - Yes, chapter 11. -- nm - Krusty May 24, 16:41 2
        
        reading a yahoo article, it sounds like the team is striking some kind of deal to pay off the Ranger's creditors 100 cents on the dollar - sideways pixie May 24, 16:43 1
        
        I knew there was a reason, I just couldn't remember it to post here. - Krusty May 24, 16:50
- [deleted] 1
  - They explained it a bit on the radio but I don't remember enough to say exactly why. - Krusty May 24, 16:10
lost had 107 commercials? 108 would have been better -- nm - dogbert May 24, 16:04 1
- *BOOM* -- nm - nubby May 24, 16:05
Andie, 24 is on from 8-10 tonight. 2 hour finale -- nm - peglegpete May 24, 16:03 3
- thanks! -- nm - Andie May 24, 16:35
- Apparently Chuck is a 2 hr finale as well. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 24, 16:07 1
  - and at the same times -- nm - peglegpete May 24, 16:09
I'll say B-. nm - Dignan May 24, 16:01 1
- i gave it an A up until the last 15 minutes - sideways pixie May 24, 16:02
If I'm a random Redshirt on the island, I have to think - Reagen May 24, 15:56 5
- There is so much stuff we're being asked not to think about that it's making my brain hurt. -- nm - David May 24, 15:59 4
  - The more I think about it the more I'm tempted to rewatch the whole thing just to see how many times they screwed up -- nm - Reagen May 24, 16:06 1
    - Ditto. - Dignan May 24, 16:09
  - Try not to think about it. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) May 24, 16:02
  - Like, where am I? -- nm - Little girl with the teddy bear May 24, 16:02
the NFL owners are voting this week on whether to give New York the 2014 Super Bowl - sideways pixie May 24, 15:52

I downloaded the LOST torrent, and apparently the extra time was not always commercials. - not2fast May 24, 15:47 11
- Two and a HALF hour episode. 41.5 plus 41.5 plus 22 minutes for the extra half hour makes 1:44 -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 24, 15:50 10
  - Oh wait, so I'm agreeing with you. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 24, 15:51 9
    - And now you need a shower, right? :) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 24, 15:52
    - Get upset about that! -- nm - Tricia Tanaka May 24, 15:52 7
      - stfu, Tricia -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 15:52
      - *reacquires target* -- nm - meteor May 24, 15:52 5
        
        In this Lostatory, I deflect any object that would show up in a Jerry Bruckheimer production. -- nm - Tricia Tanaka May 24, 15:53 4
        
        So, is Framily Guy's Tricia Takanawa an homage to you, or vice versa? -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 24, 15:57 3
        
        Lost's producers have decided it's best to leave that open to interpretation. -- nm - David May 24, 16:00 1
        
        I believe you mean their lawyers. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 16:09
        
        there was a real local anchor in LA named Tritia Toyota - sideways pixie May 24, 16:00

      - Well, my baby says she's travelin' on the one after 909. -- nm - mara May 24, 15:53
Am I still dead? -- nm - Tricia Tanaka May 24, 15:39 6
- I don't know, but you were smokin' hot. (nm) - musubi May 24, 15:42 3
  - former Playboy cover girl, I hadn't realized. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 15:59 2
    - I'll pretend that I didn't know that, and point out she was a "pornstar" in Girl Next Door. - musubi May 24, 16:00 1
      - oh my yes indeed. -- nm - Remlik May 24, 16:21
- you're clucked -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 15:41
- I still don't know if I'm me, or Steve. -- nm - Scott May 24, 15:41
"The (route number)" is very common in Southern California. Very. (nm) - musubi May 24, 15:37 17
- 84 and 87 are huge higways near here and they're called that. Though 87 is usually called the Thruway. - Tim May 24, 15:48
- 'Cause y'all have low numbers. "The fifteen" sounds better than "the ninety-five". -- nm - nubby May 24, 15:43 5
  - 405, 605, 210, 91, 110, 710. (nm) - musubi May 24, 15:45 1
    - damn your IM -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 15:46
  - true. "the five" sounds a lot better than "the four ninety five" -- nm - loosilu May 24, 15:44 2
    - "The Four Oh Five" "The Six Ten" "The One Ten" (nm) - musubi May 24, 15:46 1
      - *shrug* back. Neither is right or wrong, it's just habit. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 15:47
- the only thing i can think is that there are so many damn interstates/highways - sideways pixie May 24, 15:40 6
  - I can't recall the source of the story I was referring to, but it seemed to be primarily a southern california thing. this references the start, but - b. May 24, 15:44 3
    - p.s. up here, and in some other places I've been in the country, there is use of "the" with non-number names of highways... like "the nimitz" - b. May 24, 15:48 2
      - My understanding is that the "the (route number)" terminology has taken hold in So Cal in the last 20-30 years. - musubi May 24, 15:52
      - hmmm, I think we do that sometimes on the East Coast. The Merritt Parkway. The Cross Bronx. The LIE. The Beltway. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 15:49
  - someone should do one of those pop/soda/coke/seltzer pushpin maps on this. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 15:42 1
    - my wild unscientific speculation is that it came from radio traffic reports - sideways pixie May 24, 15:44
- yes, I know, that's why it's funny when it pops in TV shows. Because we really don't do that. it sounds funny. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 15:38 2
  - *shrug* Pet peeves are funny like that. - musubi May 24, 15:40 1
    - it jolts me out of the episode for a minute. it's annoying. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 15:41
though really, jess would be at the point where a little booze wouldn't hurt. - Reagen May 24, 15:36 2
- all she'd be doing now is building up the kid's tolerance. -- nm - workmanda May 24, 15:37 1
  - I love this -- nm - CQ May 24, 15:38
Lost *very* minor question - musubi May 24, 15:35 8
- never, so far as I know. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 15:40
- Lostpedia has nothing. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 24, 15:37 1
  - "known as Hurley, for a yet unrevealed reason" -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 24, 15:38
- one of the first episodes. someone misread his name on the manifest. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 15:36 4
  - As of last year, these fans didn't know that. -- (link) - mara May 24, 15:42 1
    - it would not be the first time I totally got something wrong about Lost. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 15:42
  - You sure about that? I coulda sworn his nick was used in flashbacks. (nm) - musubi May 24, 15:38 1
    - no, I am really not sure. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 15:39
I find super annoying when people who purport themselves as super smart and superior use typey words like "tho." ugh. -- nm - workmanda May 24, 15:35 9
- oddly enough, with your 'ugh' it's correct. -- nm - Andie May 24, 15:41
- 4 realz! -- nm - Krusty May 24, 15:38 4
  - (I love "for realz" when it's used ironically.) -- nm - workmanda May 24, 15:39 3
    - Me too, I find it very funny. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 24, 15:43 2
      - I love when my sister does it. she is such a stuffed shirt usually and when she's being all silly, she will be like, "OMG. for realz??" and I will die - workmanda May 24, 15:47 1
        
        My brother is like that. He'll say something like "Word up, son." which gets me every time. - Krusty May 24, 15:52
- I no, it p.o.s me. -- nm - nubby May 24, 15:37 1
  - honestly typing like a child is one thing. being superior in attitude and using words like "tho" is so lame. - workmanda May 24, 15:39
- ta! -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 15:36
