After Jellio's earlier post that talked about the crashing plane image in Charlie's vision in wednesday's episode of Lost, I went back and watched it again. And oh, boy, I'm glad I have TiVo, because I think I caught something everyone else missed.

It's pretty hard to see unless you slow it right down, but towards the end, just as the bird starts to fly across the screen, the trees in the background morph into a VERY familiar face. I captured the video and slowed it down so you can see. So, you think I'm the first person to notice this???

Just one word of warning , it's not for those of a nervous disposition. Don't say I didn't warn ya. (UPDATE: Much talk about this clip over on the Lost Forums)

The safe bedside table

From this morning's mailbag, Hitman860 writes to us and says:

There is new version of Virtual Stripper on the Rock1053 website - any chance of a full list of commands?

Sigh - aren't you people tired of these things yet? OK, if we must.....

Never wear a seal hat to the zoo.

Many have heard of a Mai Tai but few have actually tasted this glorious nectar of the gods.

Ordering a Mai Tai at most places is a dicey proposition at best -- I'm looking at you, P.F. Chang's. The bartender or waiter usually hands you some nasty concoction of pineapple juice, orange juice, grenadine, and cheap rum.

No wonder the Mai Tai's reputation is that of a disgustingly sweet umbrella drink.

Well, it's time to set the record straight -- the Mai Tai is one of the most sophisticated, complex cocktails ever invented.

We're being attacked with condiments...the maple syrup smell is back for a third Thursday night in Manhattan.

Friday pancake breakfast preparation?
Local meth labs with a replacement for Sudafed?
Sony advertising a candy-themed playstation?

When I lived on Wells in Chicago I would wake up to the smell of brownies for months at a time. It was a year and a half before someone let me know there was some candy factory nearby. It's freakin' following me.

I don't often catch Oprah, but last night my wife and I watched her roasting of James Frey over an open flame. Holy crap, Oprah - I don't care how much he ruined your own reputation, there was no need to publicly humiliate the man that way. It was more shameful than anything Frey himself did, in my opinion.

As Cindy said to me, I bet Oprah still kisses up to Clinton's ass every chance she gets, and he was hardly a paragon of virtue.
