Lost Update - Only The Strong Survive

ABC Lost In Virtual Reality Update - 12/10/2004

I see you sittin' there all alone
Crying your eyes out
While everything's going wrong
You know there's gonna be
A whole lot of trouble in your life
Listen to me, get up off your knees

Before I begin, let the Grassy Knoll Institute offer other explanations as to what the ABC's television series Lost is really about. Of course, my theory is that aliens have abducted the plane, making it look like a crash, and now have them in a vast virtual reality laboratory studying all aspects of human behavior.

Several other theories have been kicked around the Grassy Knoll Institute think tank as well.

One alternative is that the survivors are really playing an ultimate reality show and are unaware they are participants. Its really bad when you are selected to be banished from the island.

Another has the survivors not really survivors, but in Purgatory, a sort of weigh station to either heaven or hell. When the person on the island dies, in essence, his/her soul goes to heaven or hell and are released from the island.

Another is that they are lost in the Bermuda Triangle. or have somehow crash landed on the lost city of Atlantis. Or have been sent back in time somehow. Or have broken the dimensional planes of existence and are living in the fourth dimension. Or that it is an updated episode of the Twilight Zone. All good and sound, but yet they don't hold up to scrutiny such as my theory.

So, back to my theory. Claire, the pregnant Australian woman and rock star Charlie are captured by Ethan, the man that is not on the passenger log list. A search party is put together and Lock, the bald knife guy, sets out tracking the trail. After a long search and an encounter with the mystery man, Charlie, the rock star is found strung up and hanged. He is cut down and the doctor performs CPR but to no avail. Not giving up, the doctor finally gets Charlie to breathe. They head back to camp and Charlie has no recollection of the events that took place.

Meanwhile, Lock, the knife guy, finds a metal hull of some sort buried beneath the dirt and brush on the side of the mountain. He intends to find out what's inside......

In this episode, the aliens study the herd and how they react when one is separated. Claire is gone from the group. Is a search party put together, or do they stay huddled together. Also studied is the effect when one of them dies. Charlie is found hung and dead. Jack never gives up and finally gets Charlie to breathe.

And, is the metal hull the protective barrier of the aliens observatory. Perhaps it will get very interesting very quickly.
SIDENOTE: The Institute does not believe it is the aliens headquarters but just another piece to the puzzle of the island of Lost.

Stay tuned for the next update.

Lost Update - Shes Not There - Its Lost Virtual Reality

ABC Lost In Virtual Reality Update - 12/02/2004

The Grassy Knoll Institutes theory is that aliens have abducted the crash victims and have placed them in a virtual reality laboratory so as to conduct physical and mental experiments on them. This episode fortifies my stance. The focus was on the very Claire, the pregnant blond Australian woman. She awoke in the middle of the night feeling like someone was trying to hurt her unborn baby by doing some sort of experiments on her and the baby. Jack, the doctor, thinks she is merely imagining or dreaming. It happens once again and it freaks her out.

Sayid, the Iraqi guard, returns and says that we are not alone.

Now, the back story. In previous updates, I said that the aliens were among the passengers observing them and studying them. And this episode confirms this. A passenger manifest is gone over to verify everyone on the plane that survived and the group finds out that there is one man that is not on the list but yet still among the group. Ethan is revealed as the outsider just as Claire is about to give birth and the rock star Charlie is with her when Ethan shows up. Claire apparently senses danger, much like the psychic told her before she took the flight, and the episode ended.

The standard M.O. for alien abductions is study, isolation, testing, experimentation, release or destroy. The aliens are selecting the group one by one and the blond pregnant woman was next on the list.

Also, much like the study, Gorilla's In The Midst, where scientists live among the gorilla's in actual wildlife settings to better understand and study their behavior without the constraints of bars, chains, and confined area's. So far, the Grassy Knoll Institute seems correct about its theory and is getting stronger each and every episode.

Perhaps the 1960's song by the Zombies who sang, She's Not There can shed some light on the Lost islanders.

Well no one told me about her
The way she lied
Well no one told me about her
How many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you about the way she looked
The way she acted, the color of her hair
Her eyes were soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

Uptown Pizza

Location: Uptown Pizza, 2940 Belmont Ave, Liberty, 330-759-6907

The Order:. 12 inch pizza with pepperoni.

The Service: A quick phone call, courteous employee's and speedy service. The pizza was ready in the 20 minutes they said it would be.

The Taste: The pizza was hot, the box did not collapse smashing the cheese, and the slices were all completely cut and separated. The crust was cooked and crisped just right. The pepperoni was under the cheese and cooked with the pizza instead of being an after thought. The pizza was well cooked and not soggy or doughy.

Presentation: A solid sturdy white cardboard pizza box with Uptown Pizza logo touting both locations.

The Value: $6.95 for a single topping 12 inch pizza is a pretty good standard deal. The pepperoni topping was not skimped on.

Lost Update - Silent All These years

ABC Lost In Virtual Reality Update - 11/20/2004

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his
With her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes
I said sometimes
I hear my voice
And it's been here
Silent All These Years

Continuing with the Grassy Knoll Institute theory that the survivors of the plane crash on the ABC series "Lost" are actually abductees from an alien race placed in a virtual reality laboratory while experiments are being conducted on them.This week, Sayid, the Iraqi Republican guard, after torturing and almost killing Sawyer in hopes of getting an inhaler needed to help Shannon to breathe, sets off on his own to map the island and see what's on the other side.

As he travels along the shore line, he spies a cable buried in the sand. It stretches from the water to deep into the jungle. He follows the cable and spies a trip wire, a trap to snare what invades the area. He steps over the wire but still gets caught in the trap.

Sayid awakens tied to a bed spring that is hooked up to an electrical current and he gets shocked. A woman asks him questions and he answers truthfully yet he still gets shocked. The woman is the last survivor from a ship wreck over 16 years ago.

After gaining her trust fixing her music box, Sayid listens intently about how the others found their demise. The woman said that "They" took them one by one until she was the only one left. Seconds later, the sound of the monster is heard and Sayid tells her not to go outside the hut. The woman says that there are no monsters on this island, only "Them."

This episode is about the human psyche and how humans react when isolated and how we perform under duress. Through the use of virtual reality, one can be made to believe that you have been stranded on the island for a long time. Perhaps even for 16 years. Using only her gile and wits does she survive. To test her resolve, the aliens took her crew away one by one until she was the sole survivor.

Next week the show is off but in two weeks, that episode should be pivotal being the final week of sweeps week.

Stay tuned for the next update.

Lost Update - We Can Work It Out

ABC Lost In Virtual Reality Update - 11/07/2004

Think of what you're saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right.
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
So I will ask you once again.

Continuing with the Grassy Knoll Institute theory that the islanders were abducted by aliens and are in a virtual reality experiment in human behavior, Wednesdays episode strengthened my position.The group splits in two, one stays on the shore line in hopes of signaling a rescue ship while the other group hunkers down in the jungle in an area with fresh water, shade, and a defensible perimeter. Then something happens, the doctor, (Jack) gets trapped in the cave and the group comes together and tries to dig him out. They can only open up a small entrance and someone must shimmy through and help Jack. The rock star, Charlie, who thinks the rest of the group doesn't think he is helping out, the same rock star who is hooked on drugs, volunteers to go. He reaches Jack and in his attempts to free him, causes another rockslide and now both are trapped.

Jacks love interest, Kate, the mysterious woman running from the law gets news of the cave in and works feverishly to rescue Jack. The whole group is coming together, working together, with a plan.

Amazingly, the rock star sees a moth, and follows the moth to safety and both he and Jack walk to the group and Jacks love interest runs to him and wraps her arms around him.

Also, another miracle occurs on this episode.Charlie, he rock star, has been addicted for years to a hard drug, and John Locke, the bald man with knives finds out, takes his drug stash, and helps him in two days to kick his habit. Charlie takes the drugs and throws it into the fire for he is finally free. One would think that it would be a long painful withdrawal being addicted for years.

Why does this strengthen my theory? Thanks for asking. Very logical actually. Tonight's episode was a classic laboratory study on human behavior and how when faced with danger and adversity, the entire group pulls together. Hence, Charlie volunteering to squeeze through the hole and the rest digging and removing rubble endlessly.

Also, what a coincidence that Jack and Charlie spot a moth and it leads them to the cave exit. Very convenient indeed.

Tune in next week for the next update.

You Want Super Sized What

A lady was at the store and picked up several items and proceeded to the checkout. As always the case, one of her items was not priced. Imagine her embarrassment when the checker got on the intercom and boomed out for all the store to hear,
PRICE CHECK ON LANE 13, TAMPAX SUPER SIZE.

That was bad enough, but somebody at the rear of the store apparently misunderstood the word Tampax for thumbtacks. In a business like tone, a voice boomed back over the intercom,

"DO YOU WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB
OR THE KIND YOU POUND IN WITH A HAMMER?"

Lost Update - Turning Japanese

Lost Update - Lost In Virtual Reality 10/27/2004

Ive got your picture of me and you
You wrote I love you I love you too
I sit there staring and theres nothing else to do
Oh its in color your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel and soft as clouds
I often kiss you when theres no one else around

Yes, another Grassy Knoll Institute ABC Lost update.(My theory, the survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory being experimented on by an alien race)

Tonight, Jin, the Korean male goes crazy and attacks Sawyer because he is wearing Jin's watch. Sawyer found it in the wreckage and has claimed it as his own. The fight is stopped and the Jin is handcuffed to part of the fuselage. Perhaps the aliens are using psychotropic drugs to influence the emotions and behavior of certain individuals on the island. Perhaps it is a simple test of jealousy, possessions, and anger.

Second, the choice. Half the group decides to go where the fresh water is, and where the area is sheltered somewhat and defensible from wild animals. It is also shady and cooler. The downside is that they are off the shore and not visible to search and rescue crews that surely would be still out there after only several days. The group divides. The other group decides to stay on the beach and tough it out. Another experiment by the aliens on dividing the herd and weeding out the strong. Perhaps an exercise to bring the Alpha personalities to front and center.

Stay tuned till next week.
