24

The entire nation remains in a state of shock tonight as we continue trying to absorb the astounding plot twist from the end of last week's episode, when we found out that the evil genius behind the fiendishly complex (in the sense that nobody understood it) Killer Kanister Konspiracy was none other than.... Edgar!

No, sorry, Edgar is still dead. The evil genius turned out to be none other than.... President Manilow! All this time we thought he was a total dipweed wiener loser, but in fact he's a total dipweed wiener genius mastermind! This shocking development raises many questions, including:

1. What the hell is going on?

2. Seriously, does anybody know?

3. Is that German agent going to come back? The one Jack got with the old exploding-memory-chip trick? (Har!)

4. What about Jack's hot new girlfriend?

5. They're not going to try to resurrect the China subplot from last season, are they?

6. They better not. We HATED that subplot.

Meanwhile CTU, whose employees have been valiantly trying to continue the fight against terrorism despite the fact that half of them were killed by nerve gas and the other half are moles, is now being overrun by Homeland Security bureaucrats who behave as if they all have prizewinning zucchini up their butts, which means we're supposed to hate them, which may mean that they're part of a shocking plot twist and we should actually like them.

Speaking of people who are not easy to stomach, Audrey -- who apparently slept with not only all the writers for this show, but also every employee of the Fox network above the rank of assistant custodian -- is STILL IN THE PLOT. She has formed an alliance with Chloe.

Speaking of Chloe: She had better not get Edgared, or this blog, for one, is going to take to the streets with the righteous wrath of a million undocumented immigrants.

Anyway we begin tonight's episode with a Duel to the Death shaping up: On one side, we have an Evil Dipweed Wiener Genius Mastermind who commands the mighty massive might of the U.S. government, including tanks, missiles, nuclear weapons, a virtually unlimited supply of manpower and -- most chilling of all -- the IRS. On the other side, virtually alone, we have Jack Bauer, armed with little more than his wits and a Cell Phone of Death, plus the fact that he just signed a $40 million contract for three more seasons. So if I was the president, I would be purchasing some thigh armor right about now.

That, in brief, is the situation as we begin tonight's episode. It's Jack Bauer vs. The Handbag-in-Chief, with just eight more nail-biting hours to go. Followed by at least three more nail-biting seasons. It's going to be a wild ride, so grab somebody you love and hang on tight.

UPDATE: Propel Fitness Water? What the hell is "fitness water?"

UPDATE: If they get a hotel room right now, they can watch themselves on TV!

UPDATE: Audrey's uploading to Jack's PDA? That's Chloe's job!

UPDATE: Dr. Jack.

UPDATE: Jack is off-grid.

UPDATE: Does the president carry around a creepy red light that he shines on his own face at all times? I thought so.

UPDATE: I'm glad I'm not the bank manager.

UPDATE: Why do they need guns? Do they think the BM has a perimeter?

UPDATE: Four neckties! That bastard!

UPDATE: William Devane is back! Yay!

UPDATE: Chloe is too smart for them. That is why we love Chloe.

UPDATE: That poor little girl: Her mom is hurt AND the music got really scary.

UPDATE: Aaron is about to make a move....

UPDATE: Aaron is going to keep his eyes open AND watch his back. Good plan.

UPDATE: LA is a very heavily forested city.

UPDATE: I think it'd be cool if, when Jack got inside, just for fun he applied for a mortgage.

UPDATE: Subpoena! Har.

UPDATE: Henderson is showing real promise as the heir to the Marwan role.

UPDATE: I think the Handbag's gonna get LUCKY 2-NITE.

UPDATE: This is like watching your parents do it.

UPDATE: Showdown at the bank....

UPDATE: She's heading for the Sepulveda Pass!

UPDATE: Don't you like hate it when a vector is locked out by a class one priority override?

UPDATE: The perimeter is secured AND they have a visual!

UPDATE: I frankly don't see how Jack is going to get out of this alive. Other than the three-year, $40 million contract, I mean.

UPDATE: Funky New Age music = trouble ahead.

UPDATE: Chloe's login name is.... CHLOE! Genius.

UPDATE: That IS James Bond music.

UPDATE: Chloe blows off the Homeland Creepster!

UPDATE: Firefight!

UPDATE: So much for the Bank Manager who decided to go with Jack.

UPDATE: Next week: shooting, helicopters. Also Secretary of Defense Devane confronts the Handbag. Which means maybe he gets whacked. Which means the plot would no longer need Audrey! I'm probably just dreaming, here.

Comments

[Momanon]

Called it! He's dead!

[judi]

did the bank manager have a red shirt?

[wolfie]

Well someone had to die tonight. Bankerdude was a good expendable sideplot.

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Now whose gonna untie the banker's wife?

[daisymae]

Taking down the Prez.

[KOW]

For a second there I was thinking that they should let him call his wife. Such a goner.

[the principal]

What exactly is Secretary gonna do? Call a secret meeting of the illuminati?

[spikesismydog]

You know what this means?....I wish that this plot line was true to Life!

[Glow]

Jack, you shoulda locked the bank manager in the vault till AM. Then the show would have been over and he couldn't be killed till next season.

[the principal]

So do we have to wait until the fall to see what happens now? We are at the 12th hour after all. Or is 24 going through the summer?

[bizrey]

judi : He does now - I'm going to hell for that one :\

[daisymae]

g*dd*mn*d spam robot...heaven forfend that anyone should have two consecutive thoughts in rapid succession and then try to share them.

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

who's

[Suzy Q from Flank 2 Position]

snorks at lisa and judi

judi: I think the new red is white on 24

[homeybeef]

I think I just saw desmond

[Sam G.]

Yay! The Secretary of Defense takes on President Weenie!

[JBismyhomeboy]

ok...we've used Audrey to bring down President Manilow...she can die soon....

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Next week Prez Weenie develops facial ticks.

[Suzy Q]

Chloe? In JAIL? I don't think so!

[spikesismydog]

carzy hotrtie B set up Chloe!! William Devane to save the Day! (He used to be John F Kennedy ya know....

[tropichunt.com guy™]

Next week: William Devaney vs. President Manilow!

Where can I place my bet?

[Glow]

We need to convert Karen to our side.

[Brad]

Next week - President Kennedy look-a-like vs Nixon Look-a-like - 2 out of three falls - cage match

[the principal]

There is no jail that could contain Chloe the great!

[Betsy]

OK...somebody PLEASE answer my question: not having seen previous years, am I to assume that the whole damned season is shot through red saran wrap; or does the sun eventually rise in LA???

[slyeyes]

Karen's already on the fence, wouldn't be difficult.

[MaryContrary]

Crazy chick sells out Chloe to Slime? I hope Chloe belts her before the redshirts--sorry, I think they're now whiteshirts--arrive.

[«LabSpecimen»]

So it all gets cleared up next week, right? Wrapped up neatly and all that.

[Varjak]

The sun eventually rises, but bear in m,ind this episode ended at midnight.

[judi]

betsy: it's midnight. the rest of this season's eps will be dark.

[Suzy Q]

Now that it's over, I must thank you tropichuntguy. Your intro always makes it exciting for me. I look forward to it. And you did not disappoint me. :)

[Brad]

the smog in L.A. makes it look like night 24/7

[Glow]

Pretty good balance this week of blood, tears, sweat, Handbag, Aaron, and JackSuperPDA usage. I still think he could have downloaded it into the internet. Like The Smoking Gun site. Just saying.

[the principal]

Lets kill off all the cabnet level posts until we get to Chloe and then she can be the President!

[daisymae]

Well...it's clear from the previews for next week that...Something is going to happen.

Will Prez slimey weasel Manilow prevail?

Will Sec. Heller (with Jacks help) take him down?

How many CTU employees will have to die?

What will happen to Robocop?

Will Audrey cry in her heroic hour? or better yet die?

Will Chloe go to jail?

Will she kill the new girl(whatever her name is)?

Will Jack prevail? and disappear?

Will Chloe and Jack disappear together? separately?

So many questions...so few answers!

[Suzy Q]

Does anybody remember what time this season started? Wasn't is 5:00 AM or some such nonsense?

[Glow]

One hour at a time, little grasshopper, and soon there be sunrise. You just wait and see.

[Gretchen]

Crazy Grrrl is evil, but she has fabulous Breck Girl hair.

[Valerie]

"I know what you've done, I know what you're doing, and I'm here to stop you" OOOOOO!!! That may end up being the best line of the whole season!!!

[Suzy Q]

Chloe will NEVER go to jail. Not without wolfie, anyway.

[Betsy]

Thank you all, but just to clarify a bit more: during the daylight portion of 24...in another eight episodes or so (whenever they air), do we get to see sunlight, or is CTU like vampires, and only function in the World of Noir?

[Suzy Q]

I just read Dave's updates. We BOTH laughed at the subpoena! Ha!

[Glow]

Umm, where is Mike-Cheneylookalike? He just poofed a few hours ago. Must be napping. Or did I miss him dying or somethin'?

[Brad]

next season - Chloe in jail - a 24 and Prison Break crossover show

[Valerie]

Why are you so obsessed with sunlight? Jack Bauer don't need no stinkin' sunlight!

[chrisinmd]

who else loves the funky james bond music? Congrats to fox for another show well done! Heller is the man!

[JT]

Everybody says James Bond...I was thinking more Peter Gunn.

[Suzy Q]

bETSY: yOU HAVE TO JUST TAKE IT AS IT COMES WITH 14. rED LIGHT,DARKNESS, fLANK 2 POSITION, WHATEVER THEY THROW AT US....

Oh crap, caps lock was on. New wireless keyboard, mea culpa.

[Wes S.]

"I know what you've done, I know what you're doing, and I'm here to stop you" OOOOOO!!! That may end up being the best line of the whole season!!!

Or an epitaph: that sounds like "famous last words" to me...

[Glow]

Actually, I was thinking Pulp Fiction.

And hey, I don't even want to imagine schematic tattoos on our Chloe's entire body,'kay?

[Valerie]

"COMES WITH 14"

That's the name of next year's show. Budget cuts, ya know?

[Betsy]

*Snork*@ Valerie:) You're right. I have an unhealthy fixation on being able to see what's going on. I should remember that the Random Plot Generator, like mushrooms and earthworms, functions best in almost total darkness.

[Suzy Q]

*waits for Steve*

[Betsy]

I'm waitin with you, Suzy.

[Betsy]

Actually, Steve should be on the CTU payroll, as the only human capable of following Jack's Tracks...

[the principal]

Steveerino where are you? Where are you?

[Betsy]

where's Steve? *begins to look nervously around and wring hands*

[the principal]

I think CTU's evil Karen and her side kick Gilligan has ordered steve detained in the blog perimeter!

[the principal]

I think CTU's evil Karen and her side kick Gilligan has ordered steve detained in the blog perimeter!

[Betsy]

Do you think that somehow they were able to intercept the Blog and get Steve??? OMG.....

[the principal]

I say praise the Lord for the spam killer. Without it every time we saw sexual harrassment girl some lawyer from dewey cheatham and Howe would be pumping ads in here!

[Glow]

Maybe they put the spam robot on Steve!

[CJrun]

First season I've watched. I recollect it began with a double episode at 7am. Seven more episodes, at this pace, all dark, to complete 24.

[the principal]

Better than that....without the spam killer robot every time we saw president itty bitty balls we would get erictile disfunction ads blasting into the blog!

[the principal]

Betsy...of course CTU can take Steve. What do you think this is fiction???? (Smirk)

[Suzy Q]

I'm still here, Betsy! Have another beer. I was just re-reading comments. Steve will be here......any moment. I hope.

*hopes*

[the principal]

Someone call Chloe and get her to train the satellite's on steve!

[Betsy]

How come I don't remember any daylight? Oh wait...I think the Russian president's motorcade was attacked in some kind of more or less afternoon-in-the-smoggy-rush hour light.-

[Suzy Q]

Of course, if Chloe got Steve....

well.....

Summary

11pm - The finest roadblock ever is on the street. It has military guys, search lights, and I swear I saw a humvee with a Starbucks installed in the back.

11:00 - Jack is finding out where the money that Manilow is paying Robocop, while Wayne drives to a motel parking lot which is completely empty, except for some guy waving has a yellow piece of paper talking about his "list" and how he has to help them so he can cross them off.

11:01 - Jack calls Audrey to tell her that Manilow is in on the whole thing, and that Jack's on his way to the bank to get to the safety deposit box. Jack wants Audrey's father involved. Jack can't trust anyone but Jack!

11:05 - They get Evalyn into the motel, and Jack checks her thigh because he's got tons of experience with bullet wounds in the thigh. He wants to clean it, but she doesn't want him anywhere you leg, for fear he'll shoot that one too.

11:06 - Robocop's on the phone downloading new instructions from Manilow. They were on the phone with each other just 6 minutes ago! Manilow's starting to freak out that everthing's freaking out.

11:07 - Madam Haig is talking to Creepy Homeland Guy and she's having second thoughts about this whole "I'm in charge thing". Creepy doesn't like this ONE BIT.

11:08 - Manilow calls Madam Haig to order the arrest of Jack, but in true Manilow style doesn't want anyone to know who gave the order. Creepy's all over this and helpfully suggests that the military can use some of those near rocket lauchers, humvee's, and hand grenades if that would help at all. Haig doesn't like what's happening, but Creepy's all over the whole "let's catch Jack" thing.

11:09 - Audrey goes to Chloe and shows her the latest Computer catalog to cover the fact they're talking about Jack. Chloe thinks it'll take an hour. Audrey wants a secure line so that no one will find out she's making teary-eyed phone calls to Jack. Chloe says that'll take about TWO hours.

11:10 - Madam Haig comes down to talk to Audrey, and they don't like that Jack has an arrest warrent. They know that if he's arrested, the season's going to end quick, and they have about 6 more shows to go.

11:12 - Madam Haig is having a Lo-Jack installed on Audrey's car, so it'll lead right to Jack.

Commercial

11:17 - Jack's driving Wayne to the bank manager's house, and Jack wants to go in and scare the bank manager into letting them into the bank. He pulls out the handy dandy Jack Bauer lock pick set and breaks into the house

11:18 - Wife and husband upstairs. The wife is wearing NO bullet proof vest on her thighs.

11:19 - Bank manager goes downstairs and Jack clobbers him. The guy tries to talk his way out of it, and finally relents when Jack aims at his wife's legs.

11:20 - Road block let's Audrey through, and she's on the phone with her dad, Secretary Heller. She needs his help, and she wants his plane re-routed to LA.

11:21 - Audrey's at a gas station, and it using her cell phone while she's pumping gas. Despite the sparks flying off the cell phone, she's able to keep the car from exploding. Chloe gave her a special Lo-Jack locator, which Audrey uses to find the Lo-Jack on the car.

11:23 - A curfew immune truck pulls into the gas station, and Audrey plants to Lo-Jack on the truck! There's NO chance this truck will be pulled over because it's filled with undocumented visitors.

11:24 - Manilow looks nervous that he hasn't talked to Robocop in nearly 20 minutes, and Secret Service guy comes to get him. Scary VP asks about Jack, and Manilow tells Secret Service to leave. Scary can't understand why Bauer isn't being treated like a hero, and Manilow does the old "because I said so!" ploy on him, and leaves. Scary looks like he suspects that Manilow has been substituted with an alien, because it's the first time Manilow has talked to him that way.

11:27 - Evalyn's asleep on the bed, and her daught'er's crying. Evalyn tries to go to her and hits her head on the table. The daughter calls 911, and Robocop instantly gets a phone call from an evil co-hort.

Commercial

11:32 - Press conference. Manilow is telling everyone that the terrorist threat is over, the Russian's are OK, and Jack has signed a three year contract with Fox.

11:33 - Mrs. Manilow is happy about Manilow saving the day, and Secret Service guy looks like he wants to tell her that Manilow is still acting like a lady's purse.

11:33 - Jack drives up to parking lot, saying they'll have to go the rest of the way on foot because it's more dramatic that way, and they still have half an hour until the top of the hour.

11:33 - Jack gets a call from Secret Service Guy on the Jack Phone, which also tells Jack his blood pressure, his heart rate, and the number of bullets he has left in his gun. Secret Service Guy tells Jack about the warrant.

11:34 - They're on their way to the bank and the humvee with the Starbucks and the machine gun drives by, so they have to hide.

11:34 - Phone call to Madam Haig. The Homeland Security People Who Follow Audrey (HSPWFA) are now known as the Homeland Security People Who Lost Audrey (HSPWLA).

11:35 - Haig calls Creepy, telling him that she wants satellites redirected to find Audrey. He gives a Creepy Stare to Chloe.

11:35 - Outside the bank. They've been able to hide, elude patrols and get to the bank in 2 minutes. And they didn't even run.

11:35 - Jack goes up to the bank's doors, which I'm sure have no security cameras anywhere near them, and looks in. He grabs Bank Manager and threatens his wife's non-bullet proof thighs again.

11:36 - Inside the bank, Bank Manager gives Jack the code, 4 8 15 16 23 42, and Jack goes to enter the code. Bank Manager recognizes Wayne! Bank Manager says that he's sure he's seen Wayne on this show named "24" last year. Wayne tells him to trust him, but that Bank Manager would never believe him if he told him the real truth. Bank Manager yells, "AM I ON CANDID CAMERA", and immediately starts looking for Allen Funt. Wayne tells him that he doesn't really want to know the truth....that he's on a show with outrageous (but fun to watch) plot lines, and that they've come for proof of who killed President Allstate.

11:38 - Bank Manager asks Jack if it's all true. Jack says yes, and Bank Manager gets all excited until he realized they didn't mean he really was candid camera, it was that other thing about the President.

11:39 - Evalyn's with the paramedics, who promptly get shot by Robocop, making them much more Edgar-like and a lot less able to fix bullet wounds.

Commercial

11:43 - Manilow's on the phone again someone when Mrs. Manilow walks in, and tells him that he's dealt with more crisis today that any other president, unles you count President Allstate getting shot, which to be fair was a pretty big crisis for him. She calls him magnificent, she kisses him. They kiss far too long, and about half a million viewers had to switch the channels.

11:45 - Phone call, and Manilow asks Mrs. Manilow to leave. She doesn't like that, so she stays. He takes the call from Robocop. Evalyn told Robocop where Jack is, and Robocop is sending Robothungs there to intercept Jack. Mrs. Manilow asks what the phone call was about, but she doesn't look like she believes him.

11:46 - Creepy runs upstairs to tell Haig they found Audrey, and man, he's excited. Haig calls the HSPWLA to intercept Audrey.

11:47 - Crazy Shari finds out that something is wrong with one of the satellites and tells Chloe. Shari can't get in because it has a massive security grade one override and she's locked out. She leaves. Chloe presses ONE key on her keyboard and the security is overridden and she sees Audrey's car.

11:48 - Robothugs at the bank. Robocop says if they see any change, withdraw from the Bank, and deposit the rest of the people with extreme force. One of the Robothugs passes out from the over use of puns in the last sentence.

11:49 - In the vault, they get the recording and they her Manilow and Robocop discussing the whole plot to kill the President, and Bank Manager recognizes Manilow's voice.

11:50 - Jack spots the Robothugs outside trying to act like he's just there to use the ATM, but the guns in both hands give him away. They get back away from the door and back into the vault. It's the only way out....but Jack goes to look for another way!

11:51 - Jack uses the Jackscope to scope the Robothugs outside. Jack tells Bank Manager to trip the bank alarm to get the police there, hoping for a gun fight because there hasn't been one in over a hour.

Commercial

11:55 - Chloe walks back to one of her servers and logs into the system, and corrupts the signal they've been using to watch Audrey. Creepy goes to investigate, and thinks it's Chloe. They start playing 1960's secret agent music. (Really!) Creepy gets there, and Chloe is gone.

11:56 - Creepy finds Chloe coming out the bathroom, and asks what she was doing and promises to write a report.

11:57 - Back at the bank, same secret agent music. The police arrive, and Bank Manager decides to go with Jack Gun fight with the police!

11:58 - Jack leaves the bank, and takes out a few of the people Robothugs. The miltary show up and take out a few more! Jack escapes in a police car with Wayne and Bank Manager...who dies in the car.

11:59 - Jack calls Audrey, who tells Jack it'll be next week until they can give the evidence to her father. Jack says that they'll be taking down Manilow!

12:00 - Times up!

[the principal]

Oh my if Chloe got Steve......well lucky Steve...

[Suzy Q]

OMG! Great recap, Steve, as always.

MAJOR snorks at the Lo-Jack (which none of the rest of us caught) and the bank code!

[Betsy]

Steve!!! Thank God!!! We were afraid we'd have to start explaining the plot to each other, and that would just lead to a colossal coast-to-coast meltdown.

You are our interpreter, our guru; you make the wisdom of 24 understandable to mere mortals.
Actually, in some respects, you're kind of like the Catholic church!
Thanks, guy!

[Manli Wang]

Maybe I missed it, maybe they never explained it, but whatever happened to the president that was in the coma at the end of last season? You know, the reason that President OverEmphasizeSyllablesWithWeirdHeadTilts is in office? I realize HandBag is essential to the plot now, but his acting and character still annoy me enough to wonder every week where the other guy went...

[daisymae]

Yayyyyy, Steve, and snork @ 'half a million people had to switch channels when Prez & First Ramparts kissed.'

[donald Hinkle]

President Nixon's final moment after a bit more showboating will be his grandest--when he kills himself. He has to: having let down his nation and his now-trusting wife.
PredicktionsRUs

The first lady could take care of the Prez. Aaron would probably wait for her.

[Glow]

Nothing like a Steve Jack-Recap! Thanks, Steve! Can't wait till next week to see Chloe in jeopardy!

[Jeff Meyerson]

Great Steve, especially the Lost code.

It's obvious Mrs. Handbag will have to help Jack take him out with the Cleavage of Death.

[not Dave]

Thanks you, Steve. Another great recap. I can't log off until you've posted.

BTW, better safe than sorry with cell phones. Wouldn't want anyone to miss an episode of 24.

My phone's manual had a warning, and some gas stations also have signs posted.

Whether it's true or not...

[mellio]

Arrghhh, while we're waiting for the remaining Lead-In Shows to the Day 5 Whiz-Bang Season Finale (there's six more of those, right?), what I really wanna know is this: why is Dave posting strange pictures of Kiefer Sutherland that I can't comment on? That's just wrong...

[Valerie]

A sneak preview of next week

[John]

I would just like to point out to everyone that Chloe is, and has been, mine. I will be auctioning off Audrey, Kim, and whatever ineffective female heads of CTU remain alive at the end of the season though.

[judi]

earl!

[Steve]

So, I have a question:

How fast could Homeland hijack Jack, if homeland could hijack Jack using Lo-Jack?

This show is getting so confusing....

[daisymae]

Steve...say that 5 times fast in a dark closet.

snork @ self

[Annie Where-but-here]

Poor judi...she's calling "Earl!"
...probably from all the bad cheese on 24...makes me wanna yak, too. But I'm not allowed to have pets here.

[Annie Where-but-here]

daisymae - good one - that will give us enough time to get away from him.

[Tony]

Where is Mike Novick??? Is he secretly the head terrorist?

[Annie Where-but-here]

You mean the bad head cheese?

[Steve]

Judi's the only one that got my Earl reference!

[Valerie]

I got your Earl reference. Judi ain't all that.

[Jack]

I want to have a threesome with Audrey and Chloe. Then I'll let the producers kill them off.

Signed,

Jack

[Joeltron]

Questions:

a) Where is Curtis? We miss him!

b) Why is Sexual Harrasment Girl still there? Shouldn't she have gotten fired along with the rest of them?

c) Where is Desmond? We don't miss him as much, but he's an interesting character. Much more interesting then...say...Audrey.

d) Are they really going to go three more seasons and ram 24 into the ground?

[Annie Where-but-here]

Someone needs to shoot the producers in the thigh(s). Slowly, so it's more painful.

pitch idea #1- winner on American Idol gets a guest appearance on 24. Then they get whacked. A win/whine situation.

pitch idea #2 - Due to exhaustion from continuous whining, Audrey lapses into a coma. Her face contorts into a permanent grimace but no one notices. Desperate fans tune in every week hoping to see her life support get as turned off as we are.

pitch idea #3 - Chloe gets her own spinoff show - since she can get stuff done faster and more efficiently than the guys, it's called "16." Entire plot is completed in first episode - the rest of the time is spent pouting. Biggest nerd hit since Star Trek.

[Toccata]

Everyone missed the best line of the season! President Manilow to the First Squeeze: "Well, you walked right up to the edge, but nobody noticed!" Nobody noticed???? You were trying to hustle her off to the Vermont funny farm and I think we all noticed, Weenie!!! Right to the edge my foot--Jack lives on the edge and you think we don't notice that too???
Maybe they'll find a few gas cannisters they overlooked back at Ontario Airport that got re-routed to Van Nuys by mistake.

[HarryK]

Gimme a break ... Where has anyone ever heard the actual name of a victim broadcasted over an ambulance dispatch? Never!

[josh]

:-)

[niblet]

this party rocks. I might have to start watching 24...
