The last time I made them — still <i>many</i> moons ago, with some younger family members — I recall being rather unimpressed. As a kid, though, it was exciting just to watch them transform in the oven; this was, of course, before we even had an Atari. What you do is take these plastic sheets with familiar characters on them, color them in, and bake them; they sort-of shrivel up and, ideally, flatten out again, smaller and harder.

@ Gracie: Is all smoke MIB's?...<i>Rainier said... <br />@ Gracie: Is all smoke MIB's? Who made these rules and why do some of them seem so one sided?<br /><br />Well, I think it's because Jacob is more of a believer in free will than MiB is. It's kind of like God and Satan in Christianity; God is nearly always hands-off, let people save or damn themselves by their choices, where Satan is about deception, seduction, and pulling people in any way he can. One interpretation of how good/evil, light/dark works. (Another example comes from that perennial fave of the Lost writers, Star Wars, in which the Dark Side is seen as not more powerful, but seductive and in some ways the easier path.)</i><br /><br />To me this was all significant -- when Jacob was talking about people getting a second chance to do the right thing and he only needs one. I'm really stuck on that as being a key. We shall see -- only 5 episodes left.. sniff, sniff.

At least not by me. <br /><br />I was just being nitpicky because I'm a geek like that, and I seem to recall it being something of plot/character point in the book (Nick resents the use of the word "dumb" as a synonym for mute, correcting people who use it by pointing out that he's not dumb, just mute.

So if we did a BVS rewatch Nikki or someone would set up some sort of schedule and then we would watch, say 2 episodes during the week and then on a specific day get together online to talk about it.<br /><br />Does that make sense?<br /><br />Well, duh!!! I thought we were all getting dressed up in our finery and meeting at a specific place ONLINE for these rewatches. (Yep, I sure feel like an idiot. IDIOT ALERT!!!)

I saw an interview Darlton (the tall one, I can never get them straight) did, and although I'd love to see Walt come back, I'm not too sure it's gonna happen. I hope that meets with the room policy.

An outdated term, to be sure, and I apologise if I have offended. To be honest, I'd never thought of where that term had come from. I just assumed that it was another word for 'mute', and never thought it referred to the perceived lack of intelligence of someone who was mute.</i><br /><br />I'm not a member of the deaf or mute communities, so I can't speak to whether "dumb" is considered an offensive term for "mute" — one would think so, I suppose, since whether or not the original connotation was meant to be "stupid" many folks couldn't help but make that association. The usage in <i>The Stand</i>, however, like elsewhere, was probably meant synonymically to "mute" (offensively or otherwise), and not <i>directly</i> in the sense of "dumb" as "stupid". I've heard it used that way my whole life, <i>e.g.</i>, "That deaf, dumb and blind kid / Sure plays a mean pinball."<br /><br /><i><b>Rainier:</b> @ Gracie: I think Eloise is in Cahoots with Widmore.</i><br /><br />Is Cahoots the submarine?<br /><br /><i><b>Gracie:</b> @Anybody: Why does the "a" underline? Usually that's the "u" key. And where do you go to get a list of all these little short cuts online?</i><br /><br />I'm afraid that the underlining that results from using the "a" with carets (not carrots, folks; sorry) is simply a byproduct of the intended hyperlinking that also turns the relevant text blue; however, if you don't use the "a" tags properly <i>all</i> you get is underlined, blue text. <br /><br />For instance, to create <a href="http://lost-rewatch.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">this link to Nikki's <i>Lost</i> Rewatch blog</a>, whose URL is <i>http://lost-rewatch.blogspot.com/</i>, here's what I typed (excepts with carets instead of the brackets): <br />[a href ="http://lost-rewatch.blogspot.com/"]this link to Nikki's [i]Lost[/i] Rewatch blog[/a]<br /><br />The info is out there if you have the time, energy, patience, and focus to Google it up, which I understand can be a big if.<br /><br />VW: <i>fendamal</i> — A bad dent on the side of your vehicle.Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.com
