24

So I tuned into 24, and I thought for a moment that the terrorists had come up with a horrible new threat to the nation -- WAY worse than causing the nuclear reactors to melt down. Then I realized I was watching American Idol.

Actual quote just emitted by Paula Abdul: "Everything that comes out of your pores is authentic."

Update: The person Paula said this to is named "Bo Bice."

They sing "The Name Game" on American Idol now?

[Chris]

i believe it. and thanks for the comments on my blog.

Um....It sounds like a good deodorant would solve the "authentic pores" problem.

[Dave]

Ummm, what comments?

"Authentic Pores" WBAGNFAemoB

[Juls]

Boobies! Haha!

[U.O.]

Authentic? Or synthetic?

[D'Artagnan]

Ummm, what boobies?

[Graz]

Damn it!

I'm working and missing all this great Prime time television programming!

On second thought....*snork* .. I'm working and not submitting myself to Prime time television programming!

I can look forward to late night programming........

*realizes that after Letterman it's all down hill then*

Aw, Nutz........

*remembers that his sattelite provider has Playboy Channel on the list*

Woohoo!

*runs to find sattelite provider's phone number*

Whoa, I thought that you were going to say that Jack Bauer was actually on American Idol as well as saving the day as he runs Los Angeles. I wonder what sweet melodies would emanate from his lips.

I think Dave Barry should make a guest starring appearance in the show, perhaps as Jack Bauer's new partner... ;-)

Dave, if you haven't been watching American Idol before this, I must warn you that one of the female contestants that will be on tomorrow is a cross between a Joan Rivers and Fran Drescher.

Please be careful if you watch it.

Dave, Thanks for making me a hero to my wife. She went to bed forgetting that 24 was on tonight (and God knows I didn't know it) I saw you rpost and went in and asked her if she wanted me to tape 24. I credited you. Sorry about the accidental viewing of American Idol. There should be some sort of V-chip type thing to prevent that. And the FCC is worried about Janet Jackson's boob.

[Doug]

Dave, "Bo Bice," as I'm sure you are aware, as a person of culture, anagrams to "Bob Ice." But you knew that.

[Ryan]

Maybe next season on 24, Jack Bauer can put an end to rest of the bad programming on FOX, or at least take care of Ryan Secrest.

Oh! Whew! Dave, I thought you meant that what I was dreading had finally come true: Paris and Nicole interning at CTU. Really, that would be the worst, even worse than Ryan Seacrest being Jack's partner or something like that.

Edgar: We need to shut down the last reactor! Nicole, hit F5, shift, and escape!
Nicole (applying makeup): What?
Edgar: NO! They're melting down!!
Paris: That's hot.

Using this commentary, I actually momentarily convinced my brother that they were going to intern at CTU.

I would just like to say that I love Bo. I actually voted in American Idol, last week. And I VOTED for Bo. Go Bo!

that is all.

I have to say that I found terrorist mom quite lacking in 'terrorist strength'. One mention of poor Baaahrooz being in jail (where he is going anyway) and an elbow to the collar bone and she tells all!

What kind of terrorist is that? Thought she might be a little smarter...if not tougher.
