I posted this on the Ep 8 thread but that's about to be history...thought you all might enjoy it so I thought I'd post it here too...true story.


I'm a painting contractor, looked at a new job today and the homeowner had two year old twin boys.

Me: They're so cute! What are their names?

Her: Nathan and Ethan

Me: Really? Have any others? (grinning at my clever joke)

Her: Um, no. why are you smiling?

Me: Do you watch "Lost"?

Her: No, why? It's about castaways,right?

Me: Yes. Well, two characters on the show are named Nathan and Ethan.

Her: Cool, I'll have to watch it.

Me: Well they're not on anymore.

Her: Oh, why not?

Me: (thinking...) (one was shot 5 times in the chest and the other had his neck broken like a chicken after being in a pit for days with no food except a banana because he took a 2 hour dump)............


Me: (out loud)........................ They were rescued.




Whew.

Salspalden, let me welcome you to Lost-TV. I'm sure you're going to enjoy the community. Make sure to read the Welcome forum, it's easy to get lost. Now to your post.

Not sure this post belongs here, but I'm still laughing! :D

Should've told her the truth and said they were both killed. I would have.

Hmmm, how might that have gone....

Me: They were both killed (truth)

Her: Oh. (shifting uneasily) Well, we're going to get other estimates (truth) We'll get back to you (not the truth)

Now we don't know for sure they were killed. Their cells just re-alligned themselves and duplicated.

That was my initial thought, too.

That's pretty funny, Sals.

Okay, how many of us are allowed to stalk Sals at one time?

I think we need some ground rules.

First rule being, only you can stalk him. Right, Vonne?
