You know, hopefully this wouldn't happen- but I think there's a good chance that Johan's extreme hotness would actually melt the rubber raft. In which case, Steinbrenner would be left to tread his own water (unless his wallet doubles as an island), whilst the soaked Batgirl and Presidente are forced to cling to each other in the gently swelling ocean until help finally arrives. Hmm. Perhaps Batgirl *would* hope for that to happen.

Not really relevant to the question, (good answer by the way)for a very handsome picture of Dr. Morneau, click my name.

I don't actually watch Lost, but don't those people have enough problems without having George Steinbrenner foisted on them?

Put Steinbrenner in the water to keep the other sharks away.

Yes...Ms. Kat, I've already put that one up on my computer at work. It's a beauty.

Um, can we please have it say "Johan"? I know, it just bugs me...

Oh, come on, the poor Losties are having such a hard time anyway. Let's not inflict Steinbrenner on them.

Isn't Steinbrenner a yacht-builder by trade? He might have good seafaring skills. I wouldn't be too quick to toss him overboard, in case you need someone to navigate your dingy using a sextant or something. Santana's super powerful left arm can be used for paddling, if needed. I know Bat-Girl has a gift for sass, but does she have any other super powers that might be handy on a lifeboat? If not, she might want to watch her back...

Dear Mr. MN,

Johan would be sextant enough for everyone.

Sincerely,
BG

Poor Mr. Steinbrenner, all he wants is a little love and another World Series Championship, is that so wrong ?

Yes.

But having Georgie on the "Lost" island would be good in one respect; if he hangs around with Hurley enough, perhaps some sort of misforture might befall him. (Steinie would make ol' Hugo shave and cut his hair, though.) After all, if I'm not mistaken, the dreaded, cursed numbers are, with a few commas added in the right places, actually the Yankees' payroll for 2006...

Have we considered the possibility that Steinbrenner may not be entirely human and therefore may not float if put into the water?

That might affect potential decisions about this conundrum.

Dear Batgirl

What if we removed Mr Steinbrenner and replaced him with Mr Pohlad. How would Batgirl handle that situation ?

p.e.m.

1) Someone called AttyFan made a shark joke. That's comedic gold.

2) If Steinbrenner was with the Losties, he'd be $156 million richer by now -- Hurley would be penniless

3) What's BG doing with Steinbrenner and Santana every fourth week of the year? I smell a broker, and in advance, I say thanks Beege.

4) I was so totally kidding about #3.

5) The obvious solution would be to negotiate the rations with Steinbrenner by convincing him that overpaying for the stale bags of food would be better off then, oh, say waiting for the green fruit to ripen, planting seeds, etc. Something tells me it may work in your favor.

6) Discuss Chuck Knoblauch's gold glove and Steinbrenner might drown himself, until he remembers he gave up Milton and Guzman for Knobby.

and PEM, Batgirl would not have a chance to "handle" the situation if it were Pohlad. Pohlad would immediately drown BG and Santana and keep any supplies for himself. When rescued, he'd toss the captain of the rescuing ship (as well as any passengers, stowaways, animals, cute and fuzzy bunnie) overboard and take the ship and its contents for himself. When asked to pay for the gasoline used for the voyage to save him, he'd likely respond "let the taxpayers pay for it."

Cute and fuzzy bunnilessly yours,
YankeeFan

Holy Crow, YankeeFan is ON.

Batgirl, your wisdom is the stuff legends are made of. You always inspire us to higher grounds.

YankeeFan-your understanding is truly genius.
