Now that Lost is over…


…I couldn’t believe all of it.
…I mean…what were they thinking?!
…They killed him off.
…Screwed up not one…but TWO timelines…
…Tropical Polar Bears…
…Dharma…

Feeling like you’ve heard this all before?
Unfortunately, you probably have.
If you have friends, chances are, most of them are presently undergoing withdrawal from the television show Lost. There seems to be a small demographic of individuals that have yet escaped the horrendous addiction to this very strange series, but for the most part, “Lostycism” seems to have affected just enough people that encountering the unbelievably hard to interpret discussions on the series is almost impossible.

However, there is a light at the end of this tunnel.

The good news is the AOTS (aka Attack of the Show) has come up with an awesome new service to all Lost fans. It comes HIGHLY recommended by almost everyone who doesn’t want to talk about the series, so heads up.

…just saying…there’s help available…this not only satisfies your own desire to talk about the show. It satisfies your friends’ need to not hear about it. 🙂




Student killed burglar with a Samurai sword…

Yep…it happened. A burglar finally chose the WRONG house.
Took a few swipes from a frightened teenager with a sword.
Now authorities are seriously considering charging the teenager.
If you want details, I suggest skipping CNN and CBS, and go to the Baltimore Sun article, it has far more information.

Authorities are determining whether the student will face criminal charges, Guglielmi said.

Police are interviewing the student and his three roommates and are talking to prosecutors about whether to file charges.
-CBS

Okay…CNN’s artice is a joke and makes you totally clueless as to what is happening…

CBS pulls a CNN, and leaves us with even MORE questions…

…but THEN…to the readers rescue…comes some diligent journalism and research…kudos to By Brent Jones, Liz F. Kay and Jill Rosen from the Baltimore Sun on a VERY spot-on job.

…and to be clear…In Texas, this teenager would be getting a big pat on the back right now…not facing possible charges.
An environment where the victim could EVER be legally liable for defending his home and friends is unthinkable. I really hope this kid doesnt have to go through the system because he killed a guy defending his home.
