TYPING IN ALL CAPS MAKES IT LOOK LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING

It also makes reading much more difficult. While I am a fan of the blog, I was seconds away from unsubscribing to the RSS feed (because I cant read the ALL CAPS headlines) when I decided I'd email in first. So please please please let go of the CAPS LOCK key!

Thank you!

Key Quote: What more, this litter was witnessed by none other than IGP Kempaiah and Rural Development Minister Dr. H.C. Mahadevappa, who went to Karanji Lake for a fresh morning walk un-aware of the fact that all the hype of lake being neat and tidy is only on paper.

Our story so far: Marwan, evil terrorist mummy genius mastermind and Home Depot customer, has once again outwitted the entire U.S. Intelligence apparatus, which turns out to be not as hard as we might have hoped, because the U.S. intelligence apparatus is constantly being distracted by subplots. Marwan's men now have gotten hold of a nuclear missile and – what is worse – a pickup truck. Jack Bauer is still doing his best to catch up to Marwan by torturing people as fast as humanly possible, but one man, acting alone, can break only so many fingers and shoot holes in only so many thighs.

Meanwhile Acting President Nervous Breakdown is in his bunker, acting nervous, perhaps because he and his top aide are always bathed in red underlighting, which suggests that everywhere they go there are unseen men crouching in front of them with red lights.

On the plus side, this week we expect to see the return of former President AllState Spokesperson. Also Dodge may still be having a Spring Sales Event. But there has been no word for two weeks on the new Victori's Secret IPEX model assault brassiere. We are, frankly, concerned.

Update: This torture thing, as it so often does with young lovers, is coming between Audrey and Jack.

Update: The terrorists have taken the missile to Iowa! So there's really no threat.

Update: The terrorists have to reconfigure the trigger mechanism to make it compatible. This will take an hour, so apparently Windows Service Pack 2 is involved.

Update: President Nervous, having to choose between catching the terrorists with the nuclear missile and catching Jack Bauer, has decided to go after Jack.

Update: This is weird. They're showing a COMMERCIAL with PRESIDENT ALLSTATE IN IT. Any minute now we could see a commercial with MARWAN. Maybe at Home Depot.

Update: Terror girlfriend got right through to Chloe on the telephone. Suuuuuure.

Update: For a nuclear terrorist, Marwan has really excellent teeth.

Update: Could our government possibly be this stupid? Hey! What am I saying?

Update: Marwan got away AGAIN. If they ever catch that guy, they should put him in charge of figuring out what to do about Social Security.

Update: Infiniti has a new car, the "M." That is a lame-ass name for a car.

Update: Dodge is still having a Spring Sales Event!

Update: I think President Nervous just wet himself.

Update: They're calling former President AllState. They must have got this idea from last week's preview of this week.

Update: They just showed a Windows commercial. Coincidence? I think not.

Update: I think Edgar and Chloe should just give in to their lust for each other and do it right on Edgar's keyboard.

Update: I think the warhead software uses iTunes.

Update: Mercedes has an "M" class. What's the deal with "M"? Is that the only letter these car manufacturers know?

Update: Oooh. Chloe is attached to a "mobile unit."

Update: Did she say they're using a "blowfish" algorithm? WAIT! THEY'RE SHOOTING AT CHLOE!

Update: Chloe can't find the car keys. What a ditz.

Update: I take that back, about Chloe. Do NOT mess with Chloe, is my advice.

Update: In next week's episode, Jack says -- and this is a direct quote -- "Let's suit up."

URGENT 24 UPDATE

We have received this exclusive preview of tonight's episode, and it is a shocker.

STILL MORE NEVER-CEASING WONDERS

(Thanks to Dan Means)

URGENT 24 UPDATE

No wonder Marwan is such an evil terrorist. He's also the Mummy.

Key Quote: "I was in Home Depot the other day," he recalled with a laugh, "and I was looking at samples of something for redoing my house, and I heard somebody in another aisle say, 'I've spotted Marwan! I've spotted Marwan! Call Jack Bauer!' "

That's right: MARWAN GOES TO HOME FREAKING DEPOT.

LOCUSTS

Did anybody watch Locusts last night? I tried, but, I'm sorry, it's hard to get into a mood of fear and dread of an impending menace when the menace is in the form of a critter you can easily squash into goo with a standard thesaurus, and the lead scientist fighting this menace is Xenia the Warrior Princess. I fell asleep and never did find out who won, though I was definitely rooting for the critters.

Anyway, the good news is that tonight we return to high-quality hardcore realism.

ALARMING TERRORISM UPDATE

Now the bastards are using exploding toads.

Key Quote from Werner "Werner Smolnik" Smolnik: It is like "a science fiction film", according to Werner Smolnik.

TAKING THE IPEX CHALLENGE

The Evolution by Margarita, for the "natural cosmetically enhanced look."

Key quote from the press release, sent in by Jo:

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL - April 22, 2005 - Women who lust after the look of cosmetic breast implants can strap on an eye-fooling alternative this summer with the new "Evolution by Margarita" bra, designed by Brastraps.com founder Margarita Reis.

Evolution is a revolutionary five-in-one underwire, convertible bra made of a smooth microfiber nylon/Lycra spandex mix. It features a sculpted, graduated cup specially designed to mimic the appearance of cosmetic breast implants by lifting and slightly separating each breast to appear fuller and firmer both in and out of clothing.
