The Dummies aren't dead yet.
Hello all. Clay here with an update on the podcast, blog and message board plans. As you may have surmised much of my time is being spent tending to the needs of little person pictured below:
And since Lost is still hiatus, the Dummies have been taking an extended break. We've still got the last four "reactions" episodes to splice together and we've recorded a special live (sort of) finale reactions episodes as well. Diaper duty will hinder us no longer. Now that we've gotten into what we loosely refer to as "a schedule" with Dummy Baby Joshua I fully intend to get back into Lost mode. Both Chris and I have a ton to blather on about when it comes to the recent happenings on the show. Firstly, can we just have an entire episode of Jacob and Flocke talking on the beach next season? Come on Darlton!
Anyway, I know everyone is busy with summer vacations or just catching up with doing "non-Lost" things but this is just a reminder that we haven't forgotten about you, the loyal Dummy nation. We'll be back in full effect soon and caught up with the timeline before season 6 starts which is just around the corn... oh, right.
Namaste,
Clay

Ohhhhhh Clay!!! He's just so adorable! Too precious for words. Since you're apparently still in sleep-deprivation mode, and probably eager for some much-needed advice, I've just off the top of my head compiled a list of 8 Things Lost Has Taught Us about Babies/Children, namely:
1) Make sure he's not raised by another (or an Other).
2) Steer clear from any crazed-looking woman with a foreign accent who might want to trade your child to get her own back.
3) Baptize him FAST! A burned-out former rock god might want to take matters into his own hands.
4) When your child says, "milk", he actually wants a juice box.
5) Never take your eyes off your child for even a second, especially to answer your cell phone. Children have an uncanny ability to suddenly "disappear".
6) When it comes to your child's welfare, disregard any tips/advice/suggestions coming from ghosts, smoke monsters, or supernatural manifestations.
7) If you and you're child happen to be in a location where the above mentioned manifestations abound, DO NOT FALL ASLEEP EVER! This cannot be emphasized enough.
8) The above mentioned manifestations are NOT good babysitters; if you really must get some sleep, leave your child under the care of a responsible adult.
Now that I've completed this list, I have but one thought on my mind.....WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE???
Best of luck with Joshua, Clay. As long as you avoid making these mistakes, everything will turn out splendidly!
Namaste,
Clem

First of all...Joshua, you are too cute!
Hope the DD's are having a happy and restful time to recoup and regroup. Looking forward to hearing you guys again.
Great baby advice list, Clem!
Here are a few other additions :
If you ever find yourself trapped in a bungalow during a gun fight with a billionaire's hired hands, never walk in front of a window with the baby (Sorry, Hurley ).
Instead of giving your future babysitter contact information on where you will be, just make sure there is a giant leaf nearby to place the baby on until the sitter arrives. (Don't worry. They'll figure out what to do ).
When you know that you are going on a time travel mission to find your spouse, make sure the child's grandparent doesn't have anything to do for a while. Could be three years, could be thirty... Who knows! It's time travel!
For a more contented baby, keep a gigantic stuffed giraffe near the crib at all times ( It worked for the Changs.. for a little while anyway). But make sure it doesn't have a surly disposition. In the future, it might turn out to be the Smoke Monster ( at least,according to Hurley).
All the best,
Ms. Wendy
