They didn’t start out they way, but they were vegetables once Jack was done with them. 😉

Off topic, but I’m just curious: is anyone running out to buy a CD of music from ‘the last three seasons of _24_?’ I just imagine an entire album of the ‘ka-CHUNK, ka-CHUNK, ka-CHUNK’ intro and outro!

Yeah, the music’s not so outstanding that I can see myself driving down the freeway to it.

Gotta get the soundtrack for _The Shield_, though. I think it’s out in May.

I noticed that, too, but I’m trying to to block it from my memeory, because there’s no way such a badass can sound so dumb.

Actually, I wouldn’t mind the _24_ CD… That stuff would make great ring/text message tones.

Marwan also has never gotten dirty during all of his close escapes. He will likely come out of a tunnel, that he blew up, without a speck of dirt on him. He doesn’t even look like he needs to shave.

He didn’t even have any makeup put on before his TV recording. He must be confident in his image.

Since we are making veiled Scooby-Doo references, I had a moment of humor of my own a couple of weeks ago. When Marwan and company were chasing down the football, they stopped to consult a map.

Any of you who have young children are no doubt familiar with Dora the Explorer.

As Marwan said “Check the map” I could hear the “Map Intro” playing in my head. “When there’s a place you gotta go, I’m the one you need to know, I’m the map…”

(crickets)

Well I thought it was funny…

We’ve taken to calling him “Teflon Marwan”. Nothin’ sticks to that guy - surrounded? By a thousand agents? No problem. Walk through a hole in the wall and blow it to hell with a timed bomb.

Interesting parallel to real life terrorist al-Zarqawi.

I don’t know - I’m starting to worry. Jack is contemplating his relationship with his girlfriend too much - and how does he torture the guy - he twists his fingers? Where is the “shoot him again” and “somebody get me a saw” Jack? Mayb e all those “don’t ask - don’t tell” sensitivity training guys at DOD have gotten to him. Jack please - come back to us. Your nation needs you. And your daughter. Preferrably without a bra.

Maybe they did make the new President look like Nixon, but Nixon would have been the absolute first to say “screw the law, let Jack loose.”

If I remember properly, I read a long time ago that ex-Presidents are given regular security briefings for the explicit purpose of being able to advise the current President if needed.

Is it just me, or did everyone forget that Novik locked Ensign Ro is a closet and tossed her off a stairwell a year or two ago?

Well, technically he wasn’t the stairwell tosser – that was the big generic thug-in-a-suit that he had guard the room he locked her in.

And where’s Ensign Ro? We never found out what happened to her after that! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Riiiiiiickkkyyyyyyyyyy!!
