Lee,
I escaped from the American smuggler's prison and I even managed
to take the spray cheese with me. It was all worth it! I now feel
like I "belong" here. It couldn't have been done without the help of
Donna D and Sheila .... but I can't go into the details for fear of their
safety ... I'm okay ... don't think the FBI has dog sled teams and even
if they did I doubt they would go to all that trouble for one 8 oz. can
of Easy Cheese.

Thanks Gerri. I have to warn you that there wasn't much to do
in the smuggler's prison so I had lots of time to study triva......

Pink,

So glad you made it out of prison - cheese spray intact. I wonder what Lee has in store for us. I'm sure you will beat me once again - having all that time to hone your skills, but I'll still have fun trying.

May the best (wo)man (or person with the most Google time) win.

Yes Sassy, I remembered all of the special uses of spray cheese and it
certainly came in handy ... that's why I only escaped with one can ... the
rest were used to faciliate my escape. Again, I couldn't have done it
without Donna D and Sheila's help ... wish I could tell you everything they
did for me but it would be too dangerous for them. I'm so glad that I
remembered Lee's spray cheese eye injury ... that was crucial for the
escape plan.

Lee: I didn't get to meet Big Red or your granny ... I was apprehended
by the American police and was in an American prison ... If I hadn't
escaped, I was going to apply for extradiction and serve my time in
Nelson ... but that wasn't necessary.

Gerri: I can't leave you alone on this ... I will do some serious googling,
or as Andi says, goggling.... I too have never watched this show ...

Hey Pink,

I'm at work, ugh! I will see what I can find later tonight. I agree, this show is a lot more complicated than I gave it credit for.

See what you can dig up and I will do the same.

.......back to the old grind!

This is all I can come up with:

21) Who killed the Dharma Initiative people living on the island? The Hostiles

25) What is the name of the helicopter pilot? Frank Lapidus

27) What is the name of Walt's dog? Vincent

30) Who was originally cast to play the role of Jack Shephard? Michael Keaton

Honestly Gerri, because I cannot tell a lie, I was waiting for you to
finish the quiz. It is a very difficult one. But, since you and I are the
quiz answering fools, I will take another stab at it ....

Morning Gerri

I have gone through the quiz and made a list of the questions that need
answers. This is usually the quizmaster's job ... I'm just saying ...

We still need answers for #'s 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29
31 and 32.

I will work on the first 7 questions if you will try the last 7. We can't let
Lee/Spike think that he has stumped us ....

Hey PinkGirl,

I was wondering what happened to you after you said you would work on this puzzling quiz. I'm at work (just checking in here) and will get to my 7 later tonight. I agree, we can't let the quizmaster get the best of us! I sure hope we can pull this one off!

Happy searching; I will check in later!
