The Cost of Living

Fifty-two of eighty-two is Mr. Eko centered. Off island flashbacks show him in his first days taking over as priest from his now dead brother. The former “bad man” has a very hard changing ways when faced with the black market, medicine and the “militia” in his African village. On island in the present day he is still recovering from the effects of the hatch explosion and sees his brother in a vision. In the end he is killed by the mysterious black cloud. I’m ging to miss Mr. Eko, he was the most interesting character both on and off the island.

Go Fly A Kite

A husband in his back yard is trying to fly a kite. He throws the kite up in the air, the wind catches it for a few seconds, then it comes crashing back down to earth. He tries this a few more times with no success.

All the while, his wife is watching from the kitchen window, muttering to herself how men need to be told how to do everything. She opens the window and yells to her husband, “You need a piece of tail”

The man turns with a confused look on his face and says, “Make up your mind. Last night, you told me to go fly a kite.”

I’m A Secret Santa

The Engineering Department at ASCO has decided to adopt a needy kid from a list provided by Helping Hands through our HR Department. There were 6 kids on the list given to our company and each child had made out a wish list, plus we were provided with sizes so clothes can be purchased too. Yesterday we went to Wally World and bought a pair of sneakers and a football. Today we stopped at a bookstore and bought a half dozen mystery/educational books.

I also signed up as a Secret Santa on RoadsterChat, a place I do a lot of lurking and very little posting. I went and read up on some of the recent posts by my secret recipient and I know the place I’m going to shop, but I’m having a tough time narrowing down just which “gift” to give.

And for those of you who have been naughty and not nice this year, you will really wish you got a lump of coal in your stocking instead of this cookbook: Natural Harvest- A Collection of Semen-Based Recipes.

Started up, still up.

Every Man for Himself

Episode 51 of 82 finds Sawyer in the past, conning a convict to get his sentence shorted, that he is serving for a failed con on a woman, who visits him in the slammer to say they have a child together (is this her trying to con him?) Sawyer in the present is still a convict of sorts (he and Kate are still locked in separate cages) and his attempted con to aid an escape fails, leading to him being on the receiving end of con.
