lost again

a girl who is very pretty in the face came up to me on the street yesterday as i was snow jogging and asked if i was ever going to get around to updating my lost/philosopher chart to include the google image ranking of certain lesser-known lost cast members and certain lesser-known thinkers. normally, raynor ganan does not take requests—he just crams a powerbar into his favourite orifice and the next thing you see is a poof of powder as he snowjogs his way home. BUT the girl (whose prettiness of the face did not influence my decision) was very pretty in the face and after i changed out of my custom sneakers (with after-market nickel-plated treads) i made this new tally.

here we see edmund “those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it” burke versus that guy who has been in every t.v. show including law & order. we also get a google image smackdown between the russian revolutionary mikhail bakunin and the russian revolutionary mikhail bakunin.

i suppose the real test of who wins google images is how durable these results are. if you catch me snowjogging in five years and remind me to update these numbers to reflect the absence of lost from our 2016 hive mind—i pledge to oblige—no matter the level of prettiness of your face.

odd: the first google image hit for mikhail bakunin is of karl marx.
