Hello everyone,
I’d like to officially welcome Chris Kirkman back to HoboTrashcan.
Like he did last season, Kirkman has returned to give his thoughts on each episode of Lost and to share a special episode-inspired drink recipe each week. It’s his first week back on the site and his post this week already has my head hurting. Luckily, I have a delicious Paloma to drink, which is helping to soothe my pounding head.
Here’s what’s new on HoboTrashcan.com this week:
Lost: Down the Hatch – A Quantum Leap forward
Chris Kirkman triumphantly returns to the site this week to break down Lost‘s season five premiere. After sharing his musings on time travel and ley lines, Kirkman offers up a delicious episode-inspired drink recipe.
Murphy’s Law – I’m Batman
In a surprising twist that DC Comics hopes will boost sales, last Wednesday Batman was killed by the evil god Darkseid. Following this shocking development, DC Comics has announced that there will be a “Battle for the Cowl” in which a new Batman will be crowned. This week, Joel Murphy asks the comic book company to consider him for the job.
Note to self – A Cardinal mistake
While most “experts” were writing off the Arizona Cardinals last week, Brian Murphy took a look at the team and said they had a legitimate chance of making it to the Super Bowl. Since mainstream sites like ESPN seem more interested in covering the Dallas Cowboys, this week Murphy follows up on that column by explaining why the Cardinals have a good shot at beating the Steelers.
Outside of the In-Crowd – Crazy for Swayze, pleased by The Beast
This week Patrick Swayze superfan Courtney Enlow attempts to make sense of Swayze’s new show, The Beast. While she certainly struggles to keep track of the plotline, it’s clear that Swayze’s charisma and combat skills have once again won her over.
Overrated – Updates
Sometimes a topic is so overrated that Ned Bitters fails to adequately capture the topic’s overabundance of adulation in a single column. To remedy that situation, this week Bitters revisits three previous topics – athletes thanking God, Thanksgiving and athletes coming out of retirement – and shares a few thoughts that he failed to mention the first time around.
