If I mix and match, my porn name would be Rose Vine. Or Tootsie Beal.

Tootsie Beal would be into weird fetish porn. Probably involving feet.

This season, though, all the torturing has been done by the good guys, and twice so far it's been by the good guys to the good guys, with no results.

I agree with ita that they probably won't deal with the ethics questions in any meaningful way. Which is fine, because it's not that kind of show, but it makes watching it slightly stranger than in past seasons.

ita, actually I was just taking the piss about the torture, when I first said it. It's the kind of thing dh or I would say to each other while watching, "Just back off, Audrey. Jack's got some vital work to accomplish."

I agree there's been an awful lot. I've been wondering though, if this season isn't going to be a meta indictment of US foreign policy, but agree it is unlikely we will see it dealt with in a way I find satisfying.

I would be very pleased if, in hour 23 of 24, somebody were being tortured for the VITAL piece of information, and was like, Fine, you want to torture me? Torture me. In another hour, we'll all be annihilated in a nuclear explosion/plague/botox poisoning accident, so do your everloving worst. I'll still win.

And then Jack would put his hand to his head, shout D'oh! and die of an aneruysm.

I dunno, MFN. Cutie Panza could have a nice career in barely legal-esque stuff.

But that would require the tight body I never had.

And iPods are indeed FG, as is U2.

Your LJ writeup on How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb convinced me to buy it. I'm not so much of a fan of their new stuff, but this album feels very Joshua Tree -esque. The current playlist has both of those albums, along with Achtung Baby. It's an introspective day.

edited to compensate for the lack of functioning brain cells.

I heard that the producer of 24 was pretty politically conservative, so waiting for a wacky lefty indictment may be fruitless.

It figures. Thanks for letting me know that, ita. I think the idea got in my head because I heard the actress who plays Dinah, rejected the role at first, but then took it, because the storyline was very different, than that of just terrorist. Maybe being almost as evil as Sherri Palmer was different enough?

eta...the above is not a spoiler, but it is information from outside the show itself, but it's only half-remembered and was inconclusive, anyhow.

Oh and damn, I miss President Palmer. This new President is so bleh, they haven't even made his story part of the story.

Have you been on the internet?

That would be people having porn about hobbits. Whole different vibe.

Robin, I'm going to need a full report when you get back.

I just ran across a thread where people were suggesting movie titles for Bond movies with a Lovecraftian twist. The ones that made me spit out soda were:

Live and Let Eternal Lie
Never Say Hastur Again

Hec, I'd be disappointed to think there wasn't stuff about hobbit porn out there. What else is the internet for? In the meanwhile, Official Elf Sex Info.

Defamer gossip about John Stamos:

The actor was asked by Jane magazine, "What's the worst you ever screwed someone over?" He answered: "[In the mid- '80s] I was in a band. I was playing somewhere in Finland, and there was a girl hanging around who was really drunk and interested in me. I wasn't into her, but my friend was.

So the girl came back to my hotel, and I turned the lights down, and we started making out. I said, 'Hold on a second, I've gotta go brush my teeth.' It was dark, I left the room, and I sent in my friend who looked like me. And she thought she was having sex with me, but she was really having sex with my friend."
