and living their life together on The Bored.

Sprots: What are you writing?
TBone: I’m making a list of all the best songs and albums of the year. I call then The Boneys.
I’m going to post them when I get back.
Sprots: Sounds exciting!
Scene: Days later, TBone, decked out in his finest sweater (and with his Boneys list), finds himself

…and they return to the FNGD Forum.

TBone: So I write down a bunch of lyrics and others have to figure out the song? That’s a terrible idea,
LB. No one will ever want to play that. Not ever.
![Image](http://guardianlv.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Tom-Hanks-e1384834767549.jpg)
TBone: See, I’m writing down lyrics. Look how much fun this is. Woo, boy, I just can’t stop.
Scene: TBone decides he has had enough of the FNGD Forum and plans their escape.
![Image](https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2010/08/22/16/13newsci.jpg)
TBone: We’ll build a sturdy cyber-raft and this time we’ll have a shield to get past the ISPs.
LB is not so sure:
![Image](https://jackflacco.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wilson-cast-away.jpg?w=300&h=215)
TBone: We just might make it. Did that thought ever cross your brain? Well, regardless I
would rather take my chance out there in cyberspace, than to stay here and die in this shithole
forum spending the rest of my life talking to a goddamn AVATAR!
Scene: TBone builds a cyber-raft and stores up food and water…
![Image](http://gwongg.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/3/0/38307045/3700318_orig.jpg)
…LB comes along for the ride (so do the Boneys).

![Image](https://bplusmovieblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/cast-away-52.png)
…and tries to get him back…
![Image](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GGp03lY3_pc/maxresdefault.jpg)
TBone: LB! LB! I’m coming LB!

TBone: I’m sorry, LB!
Scene: Realizing he can’t rescue LB, TBone returns to his cyber-raft.
![Image](https://pennygained.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/cast-away-raft.jpg?w=240)

![Image](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/y5X0Ii0Jsio/hqdefault.jpg)
TBone: Tuba Dave, is that you?
![Image](https://rockloveaustin.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/rafthanks.jpg)
Scene: Tuba Dave rescues TBone and reintroduces him to The Bored. TBone immediately
seeks out Sprots.
![Image](https://ontechnologyandmedia.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/cast-away-home.jpg)
Sprots: You said you'd be right back.
TBone: I'm so sorry.
Sprots: Me too.
Scene: TBone realizes The Bored has changed immensely and Sprots has gone on to be
with his old friend, Weasel.
![Image](https://shadesofnoirsite.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/cast-away-2000-tom-hanks-helen-hunt-reunited.jpg?w=656)
Sprots: I always knew you were alive, I knew it. Everybody said that I had to let you go.
I love you. You're the love of my life.
![Image](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QnNameNVf0M/VSunK-LTsEI/AAAAAAAAL_Y/dqsOlmlowK0/s1600/%C3%85terf%C3%B6reningen%2BCast%2BAway%2B--%2BDSC_0076.jpg)
TBone: I love you too, Sprots. More than you'll ever know. I have to go, now.
Scene: TBone talks with his old friend, Weasel.
![Image](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/1*JOW58_Egfu33kdAJMMW4mQ.gif)
Weasel: We deleted your account. We saved all your posts, had a party... the whole thing.
TBone: I had party?
[Weasel nods]
![Image](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TF9OLNjh-4s/hqdefault.jpg)
TBone: Well that was nice of you.
Weasel: I know this is awkward with Sprots and me, but we thought you were logged out.
![Image](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PjdYkt5vLK8/U1qgPzKF7_I/AAAAAAAAA88/gSgYx0ofP44/s1600/download.jpg)
TBone: It’s okay. We both have done the math. Sprots added it all up and...
knew she had to let me go. I added it up, and knew that I had... lost her.
Because I was never going to get out of that forum. I was going to terminate there,
totally alone. I was going to get sick, or get injured or something. The only choice I had,
the only thing I could control was when, and how and where it was going to happen.
But I couldn’t do it. I had power over nothing. And that's when this feeling came over me
like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow that I had to stay logged in. Somehow. I had to keep
breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never
see The Bored again. So that's what I did. I stayed logged in. I kept breathing. And one day,
my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a shield. And now, here I am.
I'm back on The Bored, chatting with you. And I've lost her all over again. I'm so sad that I don't
have Sprots. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to
do now. I got to keep breathing. Because tomorrow, the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could
bring?
Weasel: That’s a hell of a speech. Too bad it makes absolutely no sense. You realize, of course,
that you can’t take any movie and make it into a crappy promo, right?
TBone: There have been others? I wish I could have seen them.
Weasel: I wish I would have missed them.
Scene: TBone knows he has one more important delivery to make…
![Image](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tzIhRHFi1bI/maxresdefault.jpg)
…and he returns the Boneys to The Bored.
![Image](https://www.moviequotesandmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/cast-away-1.jpg)
He's back!
TBone hosts the
2018 Boney Awards
