Enter: Enemy of Peanuts

April 11, 2009

I won’t lie — I’m a big fan of peanuts. Mix ‘em up with chocolate, put it in a cup, call it a Reesies? Yeah, I’m there. For hours.

But I appreciate the plight of those who cannot weather the potentially toxic effects of the allergenic peanut. Therefore, roundhoward proudly endorses the efforts of Enemy of Peanuts, a new blog from journalist/anti-legume advocate Jim Gibbons (of Nothing More American fame). As long as he stays away from Peanut Butter Cups, we’re cool.

Read it and weep, ye multitudes — I have killed roundhoward with mine own hands. He is dead, he is dead, he is dead. But as it so often goes in popular culture, he shall live again.

Lost: Island Fever (Part 6)

March 5, 2009

When DHARMA Roamed the Earth

If Lost hasn’t jumped the shark yet, it’s certainly jumped a decade or three.

John Locke reset the off-kilter donkey wheel and fixed the island’s unstable time travel. The problem? The island wound up in the wrong time, seemingly for good. Left behind are James ‘Sawyer’ Ford, Juliet Burke, Jin Soo-Kwon, Miles Straume and Daniel Faraday. So how does their new time period suit them? For some — like Saywer and Juliet — it fits them quite well. By the look of it, however, everyone’s cozy hippy excursion is coming to a screeching halt with the arrival of the Oceanic Six, their old pals and would-be saviors.

Lost: Island Fever (Part 5)

February 26, 2009

The many lives of John Locke in sharper focus.

What a long, strange trip it’s  been for John Locke. He was abandoned at birth, raised in a series of foster homes, literally broken by his father, then risen anew on the mysterious island that Lost fans have come to know and love. At some point in his future, the alleged “chosen one” wound up dead in a coffin in a lonely Los Angeles funeral parlor. But with notions of resurrection hinted throughout the show’s fifth season — and because no one is ever really dead on Lost – many fans began to wonder if we’d actually seen the last of John.

After last night’s episode, “The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham,” we have the answer and there is finally no doubt about it — John Locke is very special indeed.
