Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

You might be able to smoke boar meat, or make jerky. And while I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to do so, I betcha Locke does.

The unexpected big waves didn't bother me that much. I figure the whole thing was filmed over a month ago, and they seemed just "there's a tropical storm 100 miles south-east of us" big and not tsunami big. Mostly it seemed as though there was a really annoyed DM somewhere who has been trying to get the characters off the beach for the past three gaming sessions, and he finally just threw the dice and said, "OK, big freaking waves are coming in. Roll your swimming skills or go into the woods already."

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

(if you had the college experience I had, you'd be proud too!)

I grew up in Southern California ibefore we were supposed to just say no. I suspect my high school experience was much like your college.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I never got the impression anyone was doing anything other than trying not to get bit by a dinosaur, or worrying about their father, or making up excuses for Iraqi bondage.

Island golf.

I just don't get why she would lie about the gun back at the beginning unless she automatically defaulted to, "lie whenever anything comes up- it's better/safer that way."

the more I think about it, the more FUCKED UP that seems. In that situation, especially.

I'm always puzzled by people who lie for no discernable reason.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just don't get why she would lie about the gun back at the beginning unless she automatically defaulted to, "lie whenever anything comes up- it's better/safer that way."

I think that's part of it, though I can also understand not wanting to reveal that she's handy with a gun. People would have questions, and then she'd have to lie more. Better to lie in a way that people wouldn't pry into.

"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 just don't get why she would lie about the gun back at the beginning unless she automatically defaulted to, "lie whenever anything comes up- it's better/safer that way."

Other people had just found out there was a prisoner onboard the plane and Sawyer and Sayid were accusing each other of being same in an argument. I think she had a pretty good reason to cast suspicion away from herself (while winning people's respect at the same time).

Oh, I'm sure you're right, and it was just bad timing. It struck me as an unfortunate and somewhat eerie coincidence, and took me way the hell out of the moment, but I don't see it as "inappropriate" exactly.

Me too- I just quoted Cleolinda because when I read that I remembered being a little weirded out. Nothing to do with logic, more the fact that the images are sort of brain searing. Anyway, I've always had issues/nightmares about giant waves.

Me not talk good today. Apologize for faulty logic, reasoning, grammar, and bedroom (that last part's just for TomW)

Oh, I totally get that the big waves on the show had a lot more visual impact after the last few weeks' news. Especially with the people frantically dragging their few belongings away from them.
