The Monday Morning Memo

Rabbit Hole Insiders will recall that Wizzo bought a bunch of stuff from ABC Television that had been part of the TV show, LOST!

The Pirates of the Voyager, organized by Michele Miller and led triumphantly by Kyle Cease, Ze Frank and Mark “Crop Circles” Fox were awarded 5-inch wide/6-foot long strips of the silk balloon that “Henry Gale” (A.K.A. Ben Linus) supposedly used to get to the island.

These strips can be worn as a headband, a scarf, a tie, a belt or a sash. They are the unique identifier of a tribe of adults that have been to the islands of Neverland, Oz, Narnia, The Three-Acre Wood, Middle Earth and Wizard Academy. These are silken helmets of Mambrino, available only to fearless adventurers who have challenged windmills and survived to tell the tale.

Don’t worry, we have one for you.
What you’re going to do to earn it has yet to be decided…

Stay Tuned.

From Wizzo’s Cliff Claven treasure trove of useless trivia: Ben Linus was posing as Henry Gale, a man who was blown to the island in a storm. This is a direct nod to The Wizard of Oz. The Wizard was blown to Oz when his balloon came untethered at a county fair in Kansas, remember?

And Dorothy’s guardians were “Auntie Em” and “Uncle Henry” Gale. In the video below, we hear the soon-to-come Lion, Scarecrow and Tin Man refer to Auntie Em as “Mrs. Gale.”

Random Quote:

“Thus it came about that, one bright May morning, I swallowed four-tenths of a gram of mescalin dissolved in half a glass of water and sat down to wait for the results…. I took my pill at eleven. An hour and a half later, I was sitting in my study, looking intently at a small glass vase. The vase contained only three flowers-a full-blown Belie of Portugal rose, shell pink with a hint at every petal’s base of a hotter, flamier hue; a large magenta and cream-colored carnation; and, pale purple at the end of its broken stalk, the bold heraldic blossom of an iris. Fortuitous and provisional, the little nosegay broke all the rules of traditional good taste. At breakfast that morning I had been struck by the lively dissonance of its colors. But that was no longer the point. I was not looking now at an unusual flower arrangement. I was seeing what Adam had seen on the morning of his creation-the miracle, moment by moment, of naked existence.”

- Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception (1954,) describing his first experiment with drugs.
