I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
her character's normal facial expression would be well complimented by a cigarette holder and dalmation fur coat.
I will never be able to shake this thought. You are so right.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone needs to tell me no.
I think your cats need a toy that moves on its own. Albeit slowly.
I remembered my desire for a snake this morning, but in short order also remembered that they're supposed to smell bad. Ah, well.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I really want 24 to do a couple of episodes wherein Jack is stuck in traffic the whole time. Stuff keeps happening in the other storylines, but everytime we cut to Jack he's not moving, slamming the steering wheel and cursing at the other drivers. And an episode where he takes a nap.
That's what their pre-season promos should be. Thirty seconds of what Jack is doing right now! Napping, brushing his teeth, picking up the dry cleaning, channel surfing, cleaning the toilet... all with the clock ticker at the bottom of the screen.

right. I was living here and registered to vote for 6+ years until they called me and now, supposedly, I'll get called every year.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We had a cat kill a turtle when I was a kid. He used the fierce method of murder known as "falling asleep on top of it by accident." Sweetest cat ever--he had no idea. We did call him The Mighty Hunter after that, though.

That would be funny. I really want 24 to do a couple of episodes wherein Jack is stuck in traffic the whole time. Stuff keeps happening in the other storylines, but everytime we cut to Jack he's not moving, slamming the steering wheel and cursing at the other drivers. And an episode where he takes a nap.
Or an entire episode trying to find a restroom.
Have we EVER seen anyone on that show take a bathroom break (except as an excuse to make a run for it)?

I think that did the trick, because I can totally see Ozzie doing that.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
To be truthful, once in the first season (which began at midnight), Jack dozed off while trying to hold a woman hostage (at 11am). As it had been more than a day since he'd slept, it was reasonable that he should doze off.
I give them extra points for the logical conclusion to which the woman came, which was -- Dude is sleeping. Run away now!
It was a 20-minute cat nap. Man, those are amazingly rejuvenizing! He didn't sleep for the rest of the year/day.
