I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

something I would occasionally ponder when they were running articles about the old Level 4 lab

Heh. I work just up the road from the former EPA building. It's built in an early '80s prison style, with a few narrow little windows in ugly brick walls. Occasionally we speculate on just what got left behind the in the labs. Most of our scenarios resemble something out of Doom.

It's had a "For Rent" sign on it for about two years now.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Wasn't there a wacky movie comedy about a runaway First Lady and the Secret Service guy assigned to protect her? I can't help but wish 24 would inject some humor, aside from the occasional cougar and or amnesia attack....

Hell, even an amnesiac cougar would do, on second thought.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

starring Nicholas Cage and Shirley MacLaine? Guarding Tess?

Things taking up space in my brain. I never even saw this.

Still on call. The good news is, I am getting some personnal things done. bills paid. Envelopes addressed (CDs for those of you who requested them) to mail out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

An animated amnesiac cougar, with the voice done by Gilbert Gottfried.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Guarding Tess.

I think Chloe's hysterical.

Sounds like GUARDING TESS, though less with the first lady running away and more with her being a former (possibly widowed) and making life hell on her security detail - Shirley MacClaine (I think) and Nicolas Cage (definitely).

It would be a pleasure when Jack shot the cougar. Not so much with the torture as making GG shut up is more the point.

Has anybody at CTU even thought about calling poor Spawn? Who has presumably thought her father was dead these 18 past months....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That's so cool about your cousin, ita.

Can I say that this cracks me up--

Sure, I'm lazy and unambitious

I mean, I guess if my family included people who got CDC appointments and abassadorships, I'd feel lazy and unambitious too. Actually, I think I AM lazy and unambitious, but I don't think of ita that way.

And in a bit of a mememe whine, my back is so SORE. Been sore for two days now. Naproxen doesn't seem to touch it, and I doubt I can take anything stronger. Whine.
