Audio Clips From My Past
I stumbled upon some old audio clips from my past, when I was fortunate enough to make a couple of appearances on KTCK-AM in Dallas, also known as SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket. And I also found a couple of attempts I made at a podcast from a few years back. These clips are now housed at a new page here on the blog titled “On The Air,” which can be found at https://bobhasablog.com/on-the-air/.
Happy listening!
LOST Thoughts: What They Died For
- Maybe I’m missing something, but why is it Ben was able to kill Widmore in the closet bunker, after he was unable to do so in Widmore’s condo after Alex was executed by Keamy?
- And regarding the closet bunker scene, while I don’t typically revel in seeing characters murdered, it wasn’t altogether unpleasant to see the annoying Zoe take a Crocodile Dundee knife to the jugular courtesy of The Locke-Ness Monster.
- I can sum up why sideways world is better than the island in two words: SUPER BRAN!
- Has any character in any TV series ever absorbed (and deserved) more brutal beatings to the face than Ben Linus? (HINT: No.)
- Of all the potential LOST spinoffs, I think the best one would be a buddy cop show with Sawyer and Miles.
- There have been many, many extremely shocking things take place during the six seasons this show’s been on the air, but none quite as shocking as seeing a totally cleaned-up Danielle Rousseau…in a DRESS. I doubt anything short of seeing anorexic Hurley sporting a crewcut could possibly ever compare.
- It sure was great to see Ana Lucia again, right? Anyone??? Yeah, me neither.
- Jack sewing up Kate’s wound kind of brings everything full circle from when Kate sewed up Jack’s wound back at the beginning of the series.
- Seeing Jacob, Jack, Sawyer, Kate and Hurley sitting around the campfire, I kept waiting for them to roast s’mores and start singing “We are the C.I.T.s” from Meatballs.
LOST Thoughts: Across the Sea
In this episode, we were introduced to the mysterious woman who raised Jacob and the Man in Black from birth as if they were her own children. It’s amazing how much we’ve already learned about her in such a short amount of time, such as…
- She might be Mother Nature, which would make Jacob and his seemingly-unnamed brother Snow Miser and Heat Miser, respectively.
- She is particularly enamored with blunt force trauma to the head.
- She is not enamored at all with pregnant women, especially post-delivery.
- She is responsible for establishing the brothers’ lifelong “Spy vs. Spy” clothing motif. (Apparently, she didn’t have ready access to a set of horns and a halo.)
- She can seal up a giant donkey wheel construction hole faster than an entire armada of backhoes.
- She (like Jacob, many years later) is only suceptible to stabbing by an electromagnetically-charged magic dagger.
- She distrusts humanity, but believes in the power of unrefrigerated island hooch.
- Her homeschooling curriculum is more narrowly-focused and revisionist than what’s taught at a garden-variety Yearning for Zion compound.
- She basically looked at Jacob in much the same way Mary Tyler Moore did Timothy Hutton in Ordinary People.
Every Day is Follow Friday
Those of you who use Twitter are probably familiar with “Follow Friday,” a weekly happening during which the names of recommended Tweeters are posted to encourage others to follow. It doesn’t make sense to me to wait for just one day each week to share such tips, which is why I’ve added a new sidebar feature called “Every Day is Follow Friday.”
It’s a list of people I follow on Twitter who I think you might also enjoy following. If you’ve got anyone to suggest, feel free to post them in the comments.
Also, another new item I’ve added to the sidebar is “YO, del.icio.us!,” which lists the articles I’ve most recently linked to my del.icio.us account. Anything I’ve come across that I think might be of particular interest to others will be linked for you to peruse at your convenience. Enjoy!
Things I Know To Be True
- The greatest human ever to wield a microphone was Gordon Solie.
- I’ve never met a female whose first name started with the letter “V” who wasn’t hot.
- The only nuts worth eating are cashews.
- I will happily go to my grave having never seen either Titanic or Avatar.
- Duplexes are vastly underrated.
- There is no word in the English language greater than “slalom.”
- Writer’s block is nothing more than a mere figment of my reality.
