Top 10 Lost Finale Spoilers
This list seems appropriate for people who have not been following the series, but who may watch the finale. It’s cute how awkward the producers look here though, since so many throngs of Lost fans hang on every word they say, me included.
I usually love Letterman, but his glibness had a negative affect this time. How can you tell jokes about Lost? You can’t. How can you even say anything about Lost without it resulting in a meandering, at least twenty minute conversation? Preferably on a couch with Doritos? And, um, a big glass of water. I love water. (See? Even the pot-jokes don’t land!)
Thank god Ben’s appearance partway through completely redeems this bit.
(I admit I’m a little uptight about people belittling my fav TV show. They just don’t understand it, after all, not that I understand it, either.)

Your morning crazy
Chinglish
“For English speakers with subpar Chinese skills, daily life in China offers a confounding array of choices,” Andrew Jacobs of The New York Times reports from Shanghai. “At banks, there are machines for ‘cash withdrawing’ and ‘cash recycling.’ The menus of local restaurants might present such delectables as ‘fried enema,’ ‘monolithic tree mushroom stem squid,’ and a mysterious thirst-quencher known as ‘The Jew’s Ear Juice.’ Those who have had a bit too much monolithic tree mushroom stem squid could find themselves requiring roomier attire: extra-large sizes sometimes come in ‘fatso’ or ‘lard bucket’ categories. These and other fashions can be had at the clothing chain known as Scat.”
