Default Lostfluence

One of the mad trends to evolve late this decade is the combination of two words into one that accurately describes the situation (most commonly in celebrity couples). For example, "bridezilla" or "sexting".
I use a couple of my own creation, including "Lostfluence" which, like it sounds, is the influence from the show on your everyday life.
Most obvious in my life is the naming of my new puppy - Hurley, obviously named after my favorite lostie, Hugo Reyes. He's a siberian husky and should be pictured above. Luckily, he's a pudgy little guy so the name Hurley is apt. Other than that I've used the phrase "live together, die alone" when it fits and use the term Dharma Beer to describe when someone is drinking a well-known, commercial, domestic brew. For example, Bud Light and Miller Lite are both "Dharma Beer" to me.

I was just wondering if anyone else has anything good to add to this?? How does your obsession (don't fool yourself into thinking its anything less than that) infiltrate your everyday life (you know, when your off the island)?

Cool dog! He's gonna be a big boy... just look at those paws!

I'll have to think about what Lost phrases I use...

But I absolutely, as often as possible, use "Flux Capacitor" for anything technical or machinery related.

Welcome, by the way.

I don't think I use too many words or phrases that are LOST related in my real life. BTW, JD is right and that cutie pup is gonna be huge!!!!
And to JD....flux capacitor = Rocky Horror Picture Show!!!

I believe that Dr. Franknfurter was calling for the flux capacitor to be turned more and more to create Rocky!!!! lol.

puppy awesome!

i use live together die alone tons. I also says "thats not important right now."

The other day my freind sent me a link to an article - an expose if you will - about the inside functioning of law firms. A gossip website go their hands on minutes from inside a very prominent law firm that discussed how and who and when terminations would occur. he said, i don't understand why people are surprised, we have all known this is what it is like. I said, "its one thing to believe it john, its a whole other thing to SEE it." but, his name is not john.

I have officially gotten a group of 15 people to move game night from Tuesday to Wednesdays starting in February. i am the only one in the group who watches lost.

i say "are you with me..."often.

I have used mobuis loop and ontological paradox in a normal conversation.

and of course, the phrase that makes the most oft appearance in my life is "whatever happened, happened."

Yes, I think it was part of a song. I love that movie and I have seen it done in community theater several times! So cool!!!!

ROFLMAO! Good one, UP! HA!

I find myself repeating Ben statements sometimes. (no, I don't often kill people whilst saying them, however )
