UConn James

Did anyone mention how Sawyer's given name is 'James Ford.' This is probably the most notable entry in a google search of the name.... Probably not a connection. And, did anyone notice how Rousseau was watching Claire and the baby for a looooong frame just as she came into the beach camp? The Others want a baby; that's why Ethan was so hell-bent on having Claire. And what did Rousseau say about her own baby? I missed it. And while I'm asking, does anyone know where to get the text of what Sawyer tells Jack about his father?

Well, you know those pregnant women. They don't account for their added girth and soon enough, the dais is crashing down and then everybody's dead. Sounds like the church wants to shake off the dust from the archaic meaning of 'confinement.' See no evil.... I guess she should've been like all the other Catholic girls and just had an abortion and then said ten Our Fathers.

See? I thought he was just looking at the tarp huts and realizing he was in for some serious sh--, maybe not safer than the island but still with its own dangers. I missed that completely. It was kind of a peeing war he and Kate have had in how one didn't like the other. E.g. last week, Sawyer told Kate he was leaving because there was "Nothing worth staying for" and he let those words sink in. In reality, he was baiting for some kind of response, from a woman who has "Shameless" as her personal torch song. I don't know about misunderstood so much as he's keeping a guarded distance; so many people have hurt him in the past that he has a very defensive front (Kate is the other way around --- she does the hurting).

That doesn't make her one of the Others. Maybe she's going offer the baby to them to save everyone else? And Ethan's utter fixation on Claire and the baby becomes more clear in this light too.... The Jack-Sawyer scene was what makes this show so great. Very heartfelt, well written and well performed. And it showed a side of Sawyer that even tho he's a selfish bastard most of the time, when the chips are down, he does the honorable thing. He didn't have to tell Jack that. Walt saying goodbye to Vincent was probably not very important to many people, unless they've had to leave man's best friend. There is something very special in growing up with a dog, and Vincent trying to swim out to the raft showed that love is reciprical. Very touching for me. "It's Arzt!! A whole class of ninth graders don't have a problem with this!" Aliens? That would be such a cop-out.

Not if he meant that if you attempt to do such, "you ought to be [Dirk Diggler]."

Those are the tip of the iceberg. If you just go by what's documented from court records, it's enough to make you go take a hot shower.

I don't know about the molestation theory. Victims, esp. younger girls, tend to implode and be self-destructive. She did have daddy issues (like most of the other Lostaways) as shown w/ her friendly rapport w/ the substitute father figure in Australia, but there's not much to base it on other than speculation. My sense is that killing her father for that... meh.... You do a sob interview on Oprah and get a sympathetic jury and you're out w/in 5 years. Kate's been in more serious stuff than that; she's desperate to escape it. Sawyer has done a transformation from what I first thought of him. Spoiler: I read something about the preview that showed him in the background and Jack crying; supposedly, before the raft sets sail, he tells Jack about what his father said in the bar. If that's accurate, that's probably going to be one of the better scenes. So the Others are coming. "Run. Hide. Or die."

I don't disagree w/ what the Minutemen were doing. But if you're looking for a more sane solution from either party, you're kidding yourself b/c they're equally stupid.

Actually, as team president, he did approve them.... Proof positive that he inhabits the dark netherworld with Mephistopheles, Beelzebub, Lucifer and Jon Lovitz.

My uncle has a neighbor who is obsessive-complusive about his lawn --- manicured rows and column, like a baseball field. The neighbor crossed into his yard one time. Three days later so it would really show, he nonchalantly took out his push mower and started mowing his lawn, then went halfway into the neighbor's lawn, did a loop-de-loop and a zig-zag and went back to mowing his own. The neighbor was on the front step watching the whole time with a look on his face. Didn't do or say a thing b/c he knows my uncle is a certifiably crazy ex-Marine. (The neighbor's son actually plays for the Calgary Flames. Or, rather, this year he is not playing for the Calgary Flames.)

Let's take a look at the transcript: :doh: At the very least, I don't think he should be telling the one about bin Laden as "proof their ancestors had sex with camels"... "Moral outrage is jealousy with a halo" -- HG Wells

Owens is a cancer, whether you tell us we can mention this fact or not. Moulds has been a solid leader for 7 years, has done everything in his power to help the team in both his contract and his play and kept his friggin' yap shut even when times were bad. I don't expect amatuer bean-counters and trade-scenario-ists to understand this, tho.

Yeah, there's still public hearings, but by and large what Lola wants, Lola gets. Esp. with the current Congress. And there's been a lot of backroom haggling already. CT spent $3/4M to "come up with ideas" to present to the Pentagon why the sub base should stay open. It takes that much money to come up with "ideas," I guess. Money well spent. I was a little surprised it's on the list too, esp. along w/ closing the one in Maine, b/c proximity to NYC and Boston. In total, the Pentagon wants to close 180 sites, including 33 large bases. In a lot of those towns, it's going to be like when GM pulled out of Flint. Fat needs to be trimmed, tho. I'm just a little worried we're falling into the same trap the Romans did.

Sen. Thune beat Daschle by making a promise in his campaign that he'd keep Ellsworth AFB open. Rep. Rob Simmons tacitly implied the same about the sub base in New London. I can only repeat the mantra, 'Don't make promises your ass can't cash.' Not saying the closings aren't warranted. But it's pretty stevestojanny when the military could save a lot more by actually knowing where half of their inventory is.

I was referring to the Playboy advertisement on the page. 'No links to obscene materials allowed' does not mean 'Some links to obscene materials allowed.' And the section you're quoting from has to do w/ the volume of OT posts in the offseason duldrums vs. during the season. Not that it's okay to post nudie pictures in the offseason.

'Giant' blue is exactly what they were trying to get rid of. I don't wear jerseys anymore (except a blank old-style Sabres one when I'm playing hockey) but I can't count how many times people thought it was the Jints. Absent wearing a Bills helmet, it was hard to tell. Too bad they now look like the Broncos (A sleeve logo while bumping the numbers to the shoulders would correct this, but they'd have to get rid of the ugly yoke on the white jerseys).

Heads up. I see boobies. TBD Terms of Service

Let's see how well he does with a team he doesn't inherit.

You would've thought that same thing in '94....

I'm sure she did. The point you're blowing by is that SHE DIDN'T TAKE THE CLASS.* * To be read in the same manner as the FedEx commercial where the guy needs to have it explained, "We don't get 'French' benefits!"

Hm. Well, the other car wasn't a red punchbuggy, was it? Could have been the woman Jack married, tho.

"I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person." Join the debate club. You might learn something about logical arguments. And hey, maybe you'll get out of World Civ!

Condolences. For anyone who doesn't understand how special that relationship is, there is an article in Field&Stream archives titled "Just A Dog" written by their gun dog columnist when he lost his best friend. Some people have no idea. My GSP had a close brush w/ death (leg was clipped by a car going 60 in a 10) last year that has me knowing when it's his time to go, it's going to be very tough. That writer, BTW, said that in his long experience, it's best to get a puppy after a few weeks and do your best to avoid carrying any baggage by making comparisons and bringing back sad memories (and that often, getting a different breed helps this).

How is saying that after-school activities should not count toward in-school credit constitute dumb logic? If you work on the student newspaper or yearbook, it's automatically somehow given that you read Shakespeare and therefore you can skip over eleventh-grade English? Because that is on par with what you are advocating.

The 'outcome' ideally derives from the 'rules.' On her transcript, she's short a credit in a required section. "Flexibility" would then mean that one can graduate w/o completely fulfilling the required sections. What does that portend for a slacker who wants to get out of geometry or history? People wax nostalgic about the '40s and '50s, a time when rules were actually enforced; it is precisely our society's "flexability" that allows a loosening of the boundaries at the margins to what we have today. Isabel, at 18 years old, understands that the rules are the rules, made her decision and is moving on. Maybe people should follow her cue.
