The Thinklings

"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

The Economic Crisis Gets "Lost"

How would the cavalcade of "Lost" characters handle the economy?

Sawyer - Seduce it. Then cause a depression by taking all the money.

Sayid - Torture it.

Hurley - Eat it.

Locke - Track it for days and then hold a press conference about it under the delusion he has it under control, only to become one of its victims.

Rose - Henpeck it.

Rousseau - Shoot it.

Michael - Blow it up.

Ben - Lure it into a trap. Then give it a sanctimonious lecture.

Jin - Serve it poisonous blowfish.

Richard Alpert - Outlive it.

Jack - Fool it into thinking it has the upper hand with months of apparently pointless yammering, self-pity, and bursts of violence only to finally conquer it with surprising and apocalyptic levels of awesomeness.

Hilarious!

Here's my humble offering:

Faraday - forget about it.

2. Jared - 02/13/2009 4:36 pm CST

Haha. Give it a nosebleed. :-)

3. jen - 02/13/2009 4:57 pm CST

Too funny.

4. Chestertonian Rambler - 02/13/2009 5:23 pm CST

Not having watched "Lost," I find the reactions of Locke, Sayid, Rosseau and Faraday to the economic situation hilarious.

It's like fanfic for cultural theorists!

Kate-
Cry about it, believing she was the only victim.

Sun-
Commit adultery with it.

Juliet-
Stare at it as if the economy was being absurd and immature.

6. Jared - 02/13/2009 7:00 pm CST

Good ones, Quaid!

Any characters I left out, it was basically b/c I couldnt' think of anything I thought creative for them.

7. stroke - 02/13/2009 7:16 pm CST

Frogurt - complain about NOT being affected by it and then get killed by it.

8. Molly - 02/13/2009 8:07 pm CST

Kate would actually probably run away from it. And Claire would probably just scream at it. Charlie would sing it a song or give it drugs.

9. Quaid - 02/13/2009 11:03 pm CST

I like Frogurt's and Charlie's.

Ethan - Run full speed toward the Fed, learn all of the intimate details about the economy to the point where he knows it better than anyone, attempt to drug Ben Bernanke in an effort to "help" him, only to be killed by Tim Geithner.

10. Crossbow - 02/14/2009 1:11 am CST

Mr. Ecko - stare it down until it runs away whimpering. Then go build a church.

Smoke Monster - circle around it making random, odd, creepy noises, until it decides to pounce out, snap it up in the air... and pound it to death on the ground.

Vincent - woof!

11. Bill - 02/14/2009 8:10 am CST

Mikhail - get killed by it . . . again, and again, and again . . .

12. Bill - 02/14/2009 8:11 am CST

Michael - run around like a loon looking for it, shouting ECONNNNOMMMMMEEEEEEEEE! ECONNNOMMMMEEEEEEE! at the top of his lungs.

13. Bird - 02/14/2009 11:04 am CST

Charlie - sniff it, snort it, or inject it.

14. Michele - 02/14/2009 1:54 pm CST

Michael would scream again and again: I want MY MONEY!!! Give me back my MONEY!!!

15. Michele - 02/14/2009 2:56 pm CST

How embariskin, I didn't see realize Bill had a Michael-moment as well.
How about a new one to make up for it?
Charlotte would say, "Man, we're paying through the nose on these taxes. They're bleedin' us dry!"

16. Crossbow - 02/14/2009 4:15 pm CST

I was gonna put one about Shannon, but then I remembered that Sayid was her problem-fixer, so technically she is already covered....

But I guess you could say that Boone would stand by jealously scowling at Sayid while he fixes it...

17. Bill - 02/14/2009 8:05 pm CST

Charlotte would say, "Man, we're paying through the nose on these taxes. They're bleedin' us dry!"

LOL!

18. Quaid - 02/15/2009 12:09 am CST

Desmond - "Yeh can keep tryin teh save it - but it's gonna die."

Penny - You're not going to go back there and try and stop this, are you Des?

19. GinH - 02/16/2009 6:59 pm CST

Hurley - The numbers are bad. The numbers are bad.

20. Bill - 02/16/2009 8:10 pm CST

"Hurley - The numbers are bad. The numbers are bad."

LOL!!!

"How embariskin, I didn't see realize Bill had a Michael-moment as well."

Michele - that's ok, yours was funnier than mine :-)
