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.

FIRST!!!

Home Depot: you need one nail, but you have to buy a box full of them. And you also have to burn a gallon of gas driving all the way to the store.

Ah, sprawl nation...

[Crash]

If I had seen him I would have yelled;
AAAAHHHH Imhotep!!

But thats not as funny.

[Dave (not Barry)]

I dunno Dave.. I saw him once in an Orchard Supply Hardware. I think he just frequents those kind of stores to get ideas on world domination.

[aletha]

c'mon,give him a break,even int'l terrorists need to frame that cute pic he took with Osama and Cheney.
Where else to go but Home Depot?

[dougbo]

That explains the "seconds" ticking sound, it's hammers striking nails.
Now if I could only get the sound out of my head.

[J����]

WAY TO GO EL!!!!! :)

"Hours 23 and 24 will air back-to-back on Monday, May 23."

Party at my house!
BYOB

[Wurm42]

Does this mean I'm going to have to show ID and go through a metal detector to get into Home Depot now?

[MOTW]

Congratulations, Eleanor! You and your speedy new box and ISP!

Wonder if Marwan picked out a Champion ™ toilet as MOTW did ... doubletake ... wonders why she was wondering that ...

[MOTW]

And now we know where Marwan picked up the chain with which he shackled Jack Bauer last week. Heck, he probably bought the entire spool (quantity discount and all).

[dougbo]

MOTW,
I believe out toilets could flush the football.

[Targetgirl]

"And I kind of looked at that and — I don't want to say I took inspiration from that — but I just thought, 'That's the guy.' . . "

I'll say it, he took direct inspiration from Mohammed Atta. Now that's a serious badass actor.

the rough, tough federal agent

Way to make him sound scary!

[sandy beach]

This quote was interesting:
It's been fun to be part of something that's so well-written

Well-written isn't exactly how I'd describe it...

[U.O]

El - I am absotively in AWE of you ...

and to think, I knew you before you were famous ...

Great job! Congrats!!!

[U.O]

And a well rounded federal agent.
Jack Bauer bio lists the following:

*Bachelor of Arts, English Literature- University of California (Los Angeles)

[MOTW]

A bit off the subject, but inspired by U.O. -

While playing a cameo role in the biblical epic 'The Greatest Story Ever Told,' John Wayne had a line he spoke too laconically: "Truly, this was the Son of God." The director, George Stevens, reminded him he was talking about Jesus and said, "You've got to deliver the line with a little more awe." On his next take Wayne said, "Aw, truly this is the Son of God."

Speaking of parties,
Jack Bauer, the leading role in the TV series 24 has now got a cocktail named after him:

40 ml wild strawberry infused vodka
20 ml orange curaçao
1 dash Rose's Lime

Build in a rocks glass.
Top up with Ginger Ale and decorate with a lime wedge.

MOTW -

So, as long as we're talking of movie anecdotes, have you heard the one about The Ten Commandments ...?

They were shooting the Red Sea scene, everyone is lined up, the fans start making waves, the Israelites begin marching across the path, the Pharaoh's charioteers follow, the seas crash down upon them, Yul Brynner looks on in disgust ... it's over ...

Then the head camerman turns around and says, "Ready when you are, C.B. ..."

Let's just hope Marwan is not headed to the mall to steal IPEX bra technology.

Oh, "Marwan at the Home Depot" would be a cool name for an alternative rock band.

This week we will probably see more senseless killing of random backup agents. Being assigned backup to Jack Bauer is the worst job at CTU. Trained agents should be smart enough to realize that whoever goes out with Jack, never gets to share the glory with Jack...they just end up dead.

Last weeks guy never even got a speaking role!!

[Cynthia]

Sandra you ARE loved and appreciated! EL- I think Murphy just resigned! *goes to crank volume*

[Japanese Toilet from Simpsons go to Japan]

I am honored to receive your waste!

Sondra -

Well I was POSITIVE [that means "wrong, at the top of your voice"] that you were mistaken in saying that I had not congratulated you ... 'cuz I was sure I had ...

so ...

I went back to check ... April 4, 2005, thread posted by judi @ 2:57 p.m. BT ...

But when I got there, I was ... distracted ... by all the spammers that had invaded, with "Angelina Jolie N*de" and such ...

Therefore, in case I did not (not knot) do so before, sincerest and heartiest congratulations ... on your Anglelina Jolie N*de posting thread ...

YES! YES! Murphy has resigned. (as of 7/15) May we suvive the horror. *goes off singing to self "happy birthday to me"*

[Sondra]

Thank you, Thank you

*bows graciously*

*tears up*

*sneezes loudly*

so much for grace

[U.O]

That's amazing, Grace ...

[Cheesewiz]

Do not be fooled. That was no actor but the real Marwan. What better place to plant a nuke then where there would be a lot of people and a lot of projectiles?

This also means that the terrorists are controlling the press!

Gadzooks!

[Cynthia]

Sondra, THEN I misspelled you! So Solly!

[Eleanor]

Mayor Resigns

*does the Mayor Resigns Happy Dance*

And I don't even live in the city limits! I guess he took the hint after the Time magazine article!

[insomniac]

"Home Depot Marwan"= "Ah ! Me wanted promo"

[dougbo]

Maybe it doesn't like scat.

[Eleanor]

Good one, insom - thank you for honoring something of mine with one of your anagrams (not limericks) -

I'll treasure this moment forever!

[Cynthia]

Eleanor, `bout Time huh? Long live Donna Frye. Thanks for the mayoral ref. Too exited to do that. Actually still don't know how TO do that. FYI all, we was robbed of our choice of mayor in San Diego recently when "bubbles" weren't filled in next to the Written In name! I'm FROM Jacksonville,FL - Donna's trying to incourage something akin to "Gov. in the Sunshine" or "full disclosure" here in muchly corrupt S/D. Ranting over. Carry on.

[Sondra]

Cynthia

Re: misspelling

It's only happened 2,948,453 times. You're so lucky to have a name with which people are familiar.

[Eleanor]

Right, Cynthia - if they had just counted her votes, she'd be Mayor now and we wouldn't be humiliated in front of the whole country!

[JJ]

Awesome. This episode was so ridiculous... I don't really know what to say...

I think it's pretty cool that the government trains computer programmers in the use of assault rifles. Always a worthwhile skill to pick up, just in case you find yourself in a car that some guy is shooting up in the middle of the street somewhere in suburbian LA and feel like defending yourself. Umm.

That whole Blowfish thing is actually real. Blowfish is an encryption cipher. But they're not breaking the cipher - they're merely performing a dictionary attack. But I guess that's irrelevant with Chloe's computer not having a "RAM sequenzer" and all.

This show is just soooo painful to watch for anyone who knows anything about computers. Oh well.

[Boston's Hidden Restaurants]

I'd like to see a season of "24" where absolutely nothing happens for 24 hours. (There's Jack on the pot, there's Chloe shooting spitballs at Edgar, there's Tony drinking some JD that he keeps under his desk, etc.).
