Cipher of the Goblin lost
Goblin Field Notes, Volume IX, Page 88: 'Subject group continues to organize daily activities around lost. No participant could describe lost in fewer than 200 words. None gave the same description twice.'
On the goblin-coded corner of the internet, lost discourse is governed by a single unspoken rule: nobody is allowed to enjoy lost sincerely, and nobody is allowed to admit they don't enjoy lost either.

The Goblin Verdict on lost
Goblin peer review of the lost hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
