I have 2 things to offer........

[Brian]

First of all, it's been rather stressful around here at times lately, partially due to my rantings. I apologize for that. However, I'm here to offer 2 things.

First is a stress reduction kit (for those who don't already have one).

The second is just a self-awareness type of thing. Just to check your level of sanity. Please check this (http://www.frenzy.com/~jester/racecar.html) out to gauge your level of sanity! And for the record, I failed the test! (ETA - several times at this point!) Big surprise there huh? :lol

Sorry, Leuthen, but I'm a bit afraid to take that sanity level test, just incase they are watching. Don't ask me just which they. Not that I'm paranoid, mind you. I just figure that I should play it safe and stay off the radars of any they who just might happen to be out there.

Sometimes though level of sanity can be determined by how much a person doesnt laugh, in other words if a person is frozen in a single affect. I didnt laugh but wonder if I should have. Laughter is a release afterall!:lol But I enjoyed the Gregorian Motor chanting. By the way, as a participant in a certain thread trip, I thought I should try the initial sanity test. After washing down the computer screen, I tried the laughter test. Maybe head injury resulted in my continued stare.:|

[karengotlost]

i failed in seconds:eek

thanks for making my day!!

[Lostaboutlost]

I had already taken the Sanity Test before, so I knew the answers ;)

[Jehu]

I too am familiar with the sanity test. And yet every time I continue to fail.... *sigh* Will I ever be a normal, functioning member of society?

[Mattie]

Nice try JJ and Damon. Trying to make me knock my head against a hard surface so I forget how you overlooked me twice in your little "groupie" newsletter. Not happening!

[Lost In His Eyes]

:rollin It's sad, but I failed the test before it even started... But that's only because I knew what was coming! :lol

And Leuth, thanks for the stress reduction kit! I printed off and plan to hang it in my locker when school starts... where I'm probably going to need it most. :D

[Lostaboutlost]

That's a great idea LIHE! Do you mind if I copy you? :)

[Lost In His Eyes]

I don't mind at all! The more people it helps, the better! :D

[EGlVM]

Haha! Don't worry Leuth, I love your rants.

[Brian]

LIHE,
And Leuth, thanks for the stress reduction kit! I printed off and plan to hang it in my locker when school starts... where I'm probably going to need it most.
You're most welcome. I have it right above me at this very moment! :) Keep it handy, you'll need it once the flood starts with the beginning of S2.

(For the record, I posted the Stress Reduction Kit because it was given to me by someone who thought I needed it. This board is all I need for stress reduction. As for the insanity test, well, the story behind that is : I was listening to the radio while driving home last night and when the DJ came back on the air, he was laughing hysterically. Then he mentioned the insanity test and that no one on staff had passed it yet. He mentioned where to find it and I failed it twice before I posted it, a third time while I was posting it! :) )

Just thought some might get a giggle out of either one! :lol Thanks y'all! :)

Keep it handy, you'll need it once the flood starts with the beginning of S2.

I'm starting to get afraid of the start of Season 2! I keep hearing about these horrible floods! We've already had some trolls (I didn't feed the Sci-Fi one!) :D And I'm guessing it's going to get worse...

[Brian]

LIHE,
I'm starting to get afraid of the start of Season 2! ... And I'm guessing it's going to get worse...
I guess I shouldn't be so hasty. I don't mean to scare you, nor anyone else. It's just......OK, the best way I can put it is, "Expect the best, but, prepare for the worst." Make sense?

I hope I'm proven wrong, really I do. And if I am, feel free to come back and :lol at me later. However, I've seen a lot of new members come here during the hiatus who weren't necessarily around since the beginning. (I've only been here since January so I in no way speak for the founding member-folk! :) ) I'm just echoing what I saw during S1 during my time here then. Hopefully all of this will be funny later on because I was wrong, hopefully. :)

As for "flood". What I meant by that was the flood of people who will come here (they've done it in the past and LOST is more known now than it was this time last year) and will not even attempt to read the guidelines and post the same thing over, and over, and over, and over......and over. Ever wonder why the P-word is so hated here? Because it was posted ad nauseum during S1. Every newbie started out with "They're in Purgatory!" (I shudder to even type that word) Yeah, OK, it wasn't all of them but enough of them that........I'm ranting again aren't I? :) Sorry. I'll stop now. You get the idea.

For what it's worth, and so I won't be accused of jacking my own thread, I failed the insanity test yet again tonight! :lol Hell, I don't really need that test to tell me I'm mentally unbalanced. Anyone who reads this board will tell you that! :lol

[MJBinNC]

Hell, I don't really need that test to tell me I'm mentally unbalanced.
Now....are you talking about me?:lol
Didn't laugh at the test - maybe that is the problem. Need the stress reduction kit, though. Thank you!

We arrived in the same month!

[Brian]

We arrived in the same month!

Now that's a scary thought! :lol Just kidding!
