You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Oh yeah. I was all, "HIVES IS ONE OF THE SIGNS OF IMPENDING ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK, YA DUMBASS!" I should prolly stop tearing out my hair whenever I come across gross medical inaccuracy on TV, or I will be bald before I hit 35.

It's a sign of mild allergies, too. I just assumed Jack had asked Sullivan what he'd been eating, or been in contact with prior to the rash showing up. He didn't seem to be in distress otherwise.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

how many volts/amps it would take to actually electrocute someone.

Ten milliamps (or, one tenth of an amp.) Doesn't take a lot of voltage through the body to get 10 ma. 120v (U.S. wall power) isn't usually enough to do it, but you can still do what we call "the 60 Hz jitters" when you come in contact. Power lines are the worst offenders. People cleaning pools have a nasty habit of somehow managing to bring the pool cleaning pole into contact with the power line while standing on a wet deck and then "pfffft." Heart stoppage.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Been there, done that, don't wish to repeat.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

True, but the presence of hives tend to ring alarm bells much more so than a common rash when there's hypersensitivity reaction involved. Jack seemed awfully cavalier about the thing.

Jack had asked Sullivan

Cool. The Rash Guy has a name!

The expedition would need to drive away the penguin army lying in wait to prevent the arrival of the transplanted bears.

Yeah, 'cause penguins are evil. What with their creepy squacking and sliding and the beady eyes and all.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Actually, I think I liked it better than you did this time around.

I always like to blame things on the viewing environment. I had to watch about twenty minutes with low volume and closed-captioning since the girls were talking house stuff.

Have I mentioned I love the music on this episode?

By the way, I misinformed you. J.J. Abrams wrote the Alias theme song, not Michael Giacchino.

"We need the sunscreen, princess," was what did it.

Yep. I enjoy the sibling rivalry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The hives thing didn't bother me, because Jack was obviously mid-conversation with the guy, so had taken some history. Plus my mom started getting hives only after my dad died, and still gets them when she is stressed out. I also had a friend who got them the way the rest of us might blush--if she was embarassed or nervous, you could see the welts pop up.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I get a kind of pre-hives from my food allergies (red flush on my neck and chest with only a bump or two) when they get bad, but sometimes when my allergies are only acting up a little, stress can bring it out.

Unless, of course, Jack was lying to the guy, as he mentioned to Hurley the guy was a hypochondriac.

But then it got bigger, so...

Maybe Sullivan will be the first casualty since the drowning.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yes, the producers aren't helping themselves with the savings that woudl come with a reduction in cast size!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think some sort of jungle rot is a distinct possibility, what with them all living in a dank cave system right by an active spring and getting sweaty and/or rained on constantly when they're out and about.

One good (?) thing is that with so many mouths to feed, they're unlikely to run into food preservation problems.
