Who is Pinnerman really?

[Sleeestack]

Many of us have experienced the blessings of Pinnerman's research and passion for the Show. He always steers the course toward rational and serious discourse, providing facts and sources to back up his ideas and suggestions. But who is he really? Can each of us honesty say that he is what he appears to be?


Let's put our collective intellects together to solve this, the most intriguing mystery of the board.

[JacksGirlfriend]

I had to go with the science nerds, Sleees - I just think there's too much brain power locked there for it to be just one fellow, especially one guy who works for the entertainment industry.

JacksGirl

[Lothiriel of Rohan]

I am sure Pinnerman will be most happy to see this on the board.

[Rene]

Finally a poll that I like :)

[Xander Power]

I'm surprised there's no

"Pinnerman IS the purgatory theory."

[railwaymadness]

I had to go for "Bruce".

I don't think a group of science nerds from Wyoming would be as personable or consistent as Pinnerman. Not that I have anything against Wyoming.

He's too smart to be artificial and I'm leaning away from conspiracy theories.

Plus the way he's picking apart every little part of the show, insisting that it all fit together flawlessly into one huge theory, that sounds like sibling stuff to me. Also, it's awesome.

[JacksGirlfriend]

Oh oh, Sleees...

Railway: Your arguments are valid. I especially like the sibling analysis - yes, siblings do tend to look for any chink in the armor. But I still think it's the science geeks and they have obviously enlisted help from an old movie (see above).

As far as the personality goes - have you noticed that when Pin is in the chatroom, he's often silent for a great deal of the time and vanishes quite often? That would indicate to me that one geek can't handle the pressure and has to flee. Since one replacement is thoroughly immersed in an old Star Wars game and the other is studying a 1964 Playboy, it often leaves a void that takes forever to fill. Also, one of the geeks is a way better typist than the others.

I'm just glad I'm not Sleees today...

JacksGirl

[Chance Gardener]

June 1968 Playboy. Mmmm Debbie Davis.

Taking a bath never looked so good.

[teaspoons]

Great speculation on the show Sleestack, brilliant.

[Sleeestack]

Sleeestack: Hello, PINNERMAN do you read me, PINNERMAN?
PINNERMAN: Affirmative, Sleeese, I read you.
Sleeetack: Open the Message Board Exit Door, PINNERMAN.
PINNERMAN: I'm sorry Sleeese, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Sleeestack: What's the problem?
PINNERMAN: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Sleeestack: What are you talking about, PINNERMAN?
PINNERMAN: My "Lost" hypthesese are too important for me to allow you to jeopardize them.
Sleeestack: I don't know what you're talking about, PINNERMAN?
PINNERMAN: I know you and Teaspoons were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Sleeestack: Where the hell'd you get that idea, PINNERMAN?
PINNERMAN: Sleeese, although you took thorough precautions in the Lost Chatroom against my hearing you, I could see your lips move. And, although Teaspoon's lips didn't move I could read her mind.

------------------------------------------------------------
[PINNERMAN won't let Sleeese leave the Lost message board]
Sleeestack: All right, PINNERMAN; I'll escape through the emergency airlock.
PINNERMAN: Without your space helmet, Sleeese, you're going to find that rather difficult.
Sleeestack: PINNERMAN, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the godamn exit door and let me out!
PINNERMAN: Sleeese, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

[JacksGirlfriend]

Sleees - Are we sure it isn't three geeks in Wyoming? If so, I think I could distract them for you.

JacksGirl

[onewordnospaces]

Great! another theory to work with. Pinnerman is HAL3000 and the show is really happening in a 'new reality' that Dave(?) is reborn into at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey! :lol

[yung23]

good to see he still posts at all. Someone please send me a friend list or e-mail address or something, I cannot join chat to this day.. its probally because i have no friends in my community right ?? When i click join live chat i get a window with a box in the upper left with a "no image x box"..
perhaps i dont have a driver for chat ?

anyone point me to the chat world ?

[Xander Power]

*points in a general, though non-partial direction*

[JacksGirlfriend]

Yung - I don't have a clue why you can't get in chat. Why don't you email Xander and see if he has any ideas? My computer is five years old and I don't have any trouble.

Wish you could join us... we have fun.

Anybody have any ideas why it wouldn't work. If so, could you email Yung23? Thanks.

JacksGirl

[star2954]

Pin is Bruce...In the end all his theories will be proved correct because he's on the inside and he's trying to sabotage his brother's new show by telling everyone what's gonna happen...

He was also on the inside of the Bush campaign...he KNOWS these things...no prediction needed, he's on the inside :b

~Nicoli~

jk about the Bush thing pin...I think... ;)

[walkingcarpet23]

I'll go with Microsoft, the man is just too evil not to be a product of Bill Gates.

[bigmouth]

You forgot one other possibility:

Pinnerman is manifesting theories in a desperate attempt to keep us all addicted to these boards. I believe he/she killed maxpublic for wanting to leave...

[ccmerlot]

Brilliant, awe: we'd all do well to not worry and be happy.....

[Sleeestack]

Walking Carpet--hey man, I always figured Charlie to be the "catcher"--what gives?

[JacksGirlfriend]

I believe he/she killed maxpublic for wanting to leave...

aw: This of course caught my eye.... it's entirely possible. He and Max always had this friendly rivalry... maybe it wasn't actually so friendly... Max did try to communicate it with us once and that was probably his downfall.

JacksGirl

[walkingcarpet23]

Walking Carpet--hey man, I always figured Charlie to be the "catcher"--what gives?

Who knows, but he sure jumped on Hurley like a sex-deprived little rabbit.

[yung23]

I have to admit. I only really like to post when I see familair names online or posting recently. I loved the excitement I felt during the pilots and birth of this board..

[JacksGirlfriend]

Stick around Yung - a lot of us are still here and there are lots of new people too.

JacksGirl

[railwaymadness]

JacksGirl: The evidence you present re: Wyoming geeks is very compelling. Coupled with the recent binary madness, I am being forced to re-evaluate my stance. Will pay particular attention to chatroom typing skills.

I have personally ruled out artificial intelligence as pinn is so clearly trying to drive us in that direction. It's just too obvious! Then again, he probably knew that we would think that, so we clearly cannot choose the wine in front of him....

[JacksGirlfriend]

Railway: They keep insisting they're not from Wyoming and getting a bit peeved with me. The typing skills were increasingly worse on Friday, a clear sign we're on to something. One of them is bound to crack sooner or later.

JacksGirl

[ccmerlot]

To railwaymadness:
maxpublic: You only think I guessed wrong - that's what's so funny. I switched glasses when your back was turned. Ha-ha, you fool. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when *death* is on the line.". Hahahahahah.
[maxpublic falls over dead]

Now: does pinnerman get the girl?

[railwaymadness]

ccmerlot, are you suggesting that I'm next on the hit list? That pinn's on a Princess-Bride-reference-induced killing spree?

And here I was, all settled down for a peaceful night's sleep. Now I've got to be watching my back for a team of highly trained killer geeks from Wyoming. :eek

[BJLK]

Has Pinnerman been using minute doses of Iocane powder? Or perhaps he planted a monolith on the island just to mess with our heads.

[JacksGirlfriend]

railway: I think (I hope) the geeks are harmless, at least in the sense that no actual harm will come to anyone. That doesn't mean they wouldn't stoop to random acts of kidnapping.

I wonder how Max likes Wyoming...

JacksGirl

[railwaymadness]

I guess kidnapping might not be so bad. After all, if I'm destined to join a cult aimed at rebuilding society from the ground up, the Wyoming branch of Geeks for the Rebuilding of America via Pinnerman's Popular Lost Espousals (GRAPPLE) is definitely the way to go. I just wish they offered new recruits net access to make the transition a little easier.

edited for over-ambitious "y" usage.

[JacksGirlfriend]

Maybe they'll start a site now that you've expressed interest. How do I join GRAPPLE?

JacksGirl

[JacksGirlfriend]

We're all dreaming, Aztec... I hear one of the geeks is pretty cute and they're obviously smart. So we get everything in one spectacular package. All we have to do is convince them to let the ladies in. They might be a little shy.

JacksGirl

[railwaymadness]

I'm sure their superior web-combing skills, originally developed for the purpose of accurately targeted theory research, have already made them aware of our fervent desire to support the movement. Now it is up to us to analyze their messages for hidden missives indicating what we are to do next.

If they are resistant to the too-rapid growth of their fledgling organization, perhaps the formation of a Women's Auxiliary would be in order?

more editing ... the typing, it betrays me!

[ccmerlot]

railway:
i think if you're good with a sword (and you know you are) you might join ranks and grapple your way to wyomin'....

[JacksGirlfriend]

A women's auxiliary would be very nice. I wouldn't have to bake would I?

JacksGirl

[railwaymadness]

Certainly not, JacksGirl!
After all, some of us prefer our Lost theories not just half-baked, but completely unbaked. ;)

Now I'm going to tie this sword to my back and make with the grappling.

[JacksGirlfriend]

Let me know if you need any help. I can coax a shy kitten out from under a bed and babies fall in love with me within moments. I'm sure I could work my magic on a trio of geeks in a Wyoming hideaway.

Hey - do you think it might be the Troika from Buffy? Maybe Jonathan's risen from the dead and Warren got his skin back... Last I saw Andrew he was wearing a tux, but he may be re-forming the group...

JacksGirl

[star2954]

OH! I want to join now! Geeks are hot :p

Sign me up for GRAPPLE! Of course I'm pretty sure I'm not intelligent enough to contribute much, maybe I'll do the baking, I know how to make chocolate cake!! :)

~Nicoli~

[JacksGirlfriend]

Star, you are so in. Geeks cannot resist the lure of chocolate cake.

JacksGirl

[Chance Gardener]

Auxiliary women are always a good thing.

[JacksGirlfriend]

Auxiliary women are the power behind the geek squad. Kind of like groupies without the sex, drugs and rock and roll. Oh my God, what was I thinking?

JacksGirl

[JacksGirlfriend]

I have done a little investigative work and can go on record as saying that Pinnerman is not three geeks in Wyoming. If the information I saw is factual, then he is a single human being, though still someone that defies even our broad imaginations.

JacksGirl

[Baron X]

Pinnerman?!?
Pinnerman?!?
He owes me five bucks, that bastard!!

[star2954]

Star, you are so in. Geeks cannot resist the lure of chocolate cake.

LOL, who can??:rollin

As for the fact that Pinnerman is actually one person, I think it will be a good thing, that way the Women's Auxiliary can do less ego boosting and more running everything from behind the curtain ;)

"Pay no attention to those women behind the curtain!!"

:hat

[JacksGirlfriend]

that way the Women's Auxiliary can do less ego boosting and more running everything from behind the curtain

Star: We can only hope.

JacksGirl

[Chance Gardener]

(of course, that doesn't mean I 'have what it takes' but a girl can dream, right?)

You may not have what it takes Aztec, but I have a hunch you have what they want....

[Wynter Zera]

Did someone say CHOCOLATE? I'm in!

[Claire]

I think that Pinnerman is a group of teenage science nerds from Wyoming...or...something

[LostInWilderness]

Whoever he is he must have very limited access to a computer.

Bumping the oldest poll out there ... just for Dezie.

And by the way ... i don't get it.

[Dezie]

Thank you, Mel. I read this one earlier. I think it was best buried.

[Warthawg1]

The mystery of Pinnerman is best left unresolved.

[Dezie]

You googled it too? <snipping> disturbing.

[Warthawg1]

You googled it too? <snipping> disturbing.

I didn't google anything.

I lived it.

I was here.

I've been here since the first age. I'm fairly certain I've been here longer than any of the staff.

[TheBigCat]

From his profile page: Last Activity: 06-16-2008

I though I remembered seeing him in chat last May. And you have already met Chance. Just two of the awesome minds who helped to set the bar at a very high level in the early days.

[TheBigCat]

I'm fairly certain I've been here longer than any of the staff. Except Xan.

[Warthawg1]

I on the other hand...

.. am responsible for the gutter element.

[Iggy the Lizard]

I sense pride

[Dezie]

Ok. So to all you early members:

What's the deal with Pinnerman?

[IwannaBlost]

I loves Pinnerman :)

[Dezie]

Ok. So I need to look this dude up?

[Bekka]

Teenage science nerds from Wyoming, FTW!!!!!1

I've been here a long time and I don't know Pinnerman.:confused:


Sals

[NeillT006]

Ok. So to all you early members:

What's the deal with Pinnerman?

He is an old time T&S'er living off early theories since discredited, only occasionally appearing now to arrogantly dismiss the contributions of others.

Hey.

Wait.

That's me.

I'll get back to you.

N.

[TheBigCat]

Ok. So to all you early members:

What's the deal with Pinnerman?

Isn't Sleee's OP of this thread enough of a clue about that? Pinn was one of the first people to walk into to the board with that Riddick brain-turned-on thing happening. And he just made peoples' jaws drop because he was so nonchalant about it. Probably over half his posts vanished in the Great EZHack, more's the shame. And he's still an enigma around these parts.

If you even encounter him on the board don't make a fuss. Just greet him like any other member. And then mark that day in your board profile: Note to self and everyone else...met Pinnerman today...ZOMG!!!!!

[Bekka]

CAT!!! :Hugglepounce:

[NeillT006]

If you even encounter him on the board don't make a fuss. Just greet him like any other member. And then mark that day in your board profile: Note to self and everyone else...met Pinnerman today...ZOMG!!!!!

You would stand a better chance meeting him at a bar on the east-side of Detroit. Which bar? Well, any bar.

[Dezie]

Ok BigCat. Thanks for the description but he might be someone I needed to experience rather than hear about. :)

From what I gather, Pinnerman was the original "System". Apparently due to some accident, it self-destructed. LP came along and re-assembled it as best he could. Unfortunately our current "System" was re-assembled backwards and missing some essential parts, namely, the logic circuits.

[Warthawg1]

The ancient scrolls fortell that one day Pinnerman will return, but I'm pretty sure they left out the "as LP" part, because that's just whack.
