From Lostpedia

Hey. I'm Beardo the Pirate, its the nickname I gave Tom back when he was Mr. Friendly. Sawyer's got nothin on me. If I knew how to change my display name on here, I would change it to Fakebeard the Pirate. My parents have been watching Lost from day one, I dont really watch tv so I didn't watch it with them. Whenever I would come out to the kitchen for a drink or something I'd see it on and I thought it looked interesting. One time I came out and saw the scene were Locke was beating on the hatch, then a light came on. After I saw that, I was hooked. Been watching ever since.
