Good Lord…I haven’t watched that movie in ten years. Wow…I…wow. Never made that connection before. I think I’m glad I didn’t realize that while I was watching “24.” I don’t think I could have taken him seriously.

There’s not much to tell, I’m afraid. She didn’t associate with the neighbors much. Not that there’s really anything wrong with that; I’m not much of a potluck dinner guy myself. Whenever she was out in public she’d do the Michael Jackson “disguse” deal: big sunglasses, ballcap jammed down tight over her head, sweatshirt hood up, etc. It was one of those “oh, I hope nobody recognizes me or I’ll be mobbed by my legions of adoring fans who are ever so impressed by my amazing ability to smile and read banal crap off a teleprompter for a low-powered local TV station” type of things.

She had a different last name back then too; I think she squeezed in a divorce or something. At the time she was named Kapostascy, which I know I’m not spelling correctly.

My friends referred to her as Chris Cop-a-feely.

It’s actually spelled Ehrenfeldf.

And they’re doing a new ad with Sabine, who is now using a slightly darker hair color and a more German-sounding accent. Is that the “brunette” you mean?

Yup, WNYT TV-13. Back then she was Chris Kapostasy.

Oooo…well, she seems to have developed into quite a game little correspondent. She did great on the ‘04 election and Papal inaugural coverage and she is a warm, compelling interviewer. Not to mention that she is about to turn 50 and still got it goin’ on in the looks department.

Those particularly attracted to Dennis Haysbert should check it out – he’s got a scene where he’s wearing nuttin’ but a jockstrap.

I third (or fourth or fifth) Kari from Mythbusters. And I also nominate Indira Varma, who plays Niobe on HBO’s Rome.

I wasn’t aware they had a new girl. I was referring to Sabine

Slate Magazine has this article a while back.

Jessica Alba is the goddess at whose temple I worship.

I’ve also got a thing for the dark haired girl in those Burger King commercials from a while back; the ones that take place in an office with that group of lovable losers (headed by the current host of Talk Soup) who eat BK every. single. day. for lunch.

Those’re the ones I’d knock over small children and the elderly just to shake hands with.

Ohhhhhhhhh, I forgot about her. Remember the commercial where the nerdy guy eats her sandwich with extra mayo and then claims it isn’t there? She sees a little mayonnaise on the corner of his mouth and she grabs him by the tie and licks it off his face… “Mayo!”

If I worked in that office, I’d come in every day with a little bit of mayo on my face…

Dawn Yanek allegedly writes for Stuff magazine and [Match.com](http://Match.com), but I know her from the various guilty pleasure VH1 list shows. She’s a hottie for starters and is labelled a “sexologist”.
