Everything I know about Lost, I learned from the RPPR forums.
Last week, one of my customers was reading a book about Lost, The Gospel According to Lost or somesuch. I think she said the author was drawing parallels to Biblical characters and stories. Because I can't be bothered to think before I speak, I say, "So how does he explain the smoke monster?"
She says, "Oh, you're a fan of Lost?"
I reply, "No, I don't watch it."
She asks, "But you know there's a smoke monster?"
It seems like a long route, to explain that there is this RPG forum that I read, and some people run play-by-post games, and this one prolific poster ran a "This is Not Lost" Risus pickup game, and in response the forum owner made a Smoke Monster, which in context seemed like it was clearly a Lost reference...I elected to reply, simply, "Yes."
She went back to reading her book.
And, after rereading that wordy mess, I am here compelled to quote Bill Watterson. "I hate to think that, someday, all of my current experiences will become stories with no point."
