Or a pilot for buddy sitcom/drama. Three buddies who go to the ball game, on vacation, what have you; and always end up foiling some scheme. "'Three's Are Wild" featuring Spencer, the brooding bald dude! Alek, the handsome ladies' man! and the black guy!"

Watching the clip, there was a Brit businessman involved too. Ironically, he's the only one who tries to big himself up.

"Photogenic" is the new "articulate."

What they did was really great, but a look at A/ek S's FB wall shows the "Planned Parenthood sells dead babies" meme and that he likes Ayn Rand's books, so not sure how I'll reconcile that.

The one dude has been pictured in both a Bayern jersey and a Barça one. Clearly he can't be trusted.

Were one to find oneself on the winning side of such an event, one would find it difficult to maintain a becoming modesty.

" 'Not on this American's watch, punk!' I said, and then I went into my happy place--and, Matt/George/Stephen/Jimmy/new Daily Show guy, my happy place ... is kicking terrorist ass."

"But aren't you worried about retaliation by the terrorists' comrades? I mean, you humiliated them pretty badly with your sweet martial arts moves and Schwarzeneggeresque one-liners."

"No, [name], I've seen what they can do." [looks at camera] "Don't give up your day jobs."

Am I wearing a duster in this scenario? No. I am wearing multiple dusters for extra billowing-in-the-wind action.

You're scaring me a little Flippanter. Are you writing Trump stump speeches on the side?

Action Flippanter lets his fists do the ... speechwriting.

That didn't sound as cool as I hoped.

Security sure did get stepped up at the Brussels train stations. Clumps of cops walking around. But none a bit behind in overwatch.

Tangent thought: people often compare US cops with UK cops. The former are armed and the latter are not. The former kill many more non-police than the latter. An answer that I have seen to that comparison is that the UK cops would kill more if they were as well armed. But in enlightened topless Europe the cops carry weapons (handguns and other weapons) and it seems that the rate of shootings & killings is lower in TEE, even though the police are well armed.

I love that the guy from Betty Blue was on the train. I had your movie poster on the wall in college! (The 32º7 le matin version, of course.)

On topic: There was just now an unbelievably photogenic couple sitting across from me. They were shoveling junk food into their mouths like Pringles don't count if you're 25 and blond.

It's fun to imagine. ("Should the Americans be armed?" "No, you idiot, this is to endear us the world over").

The Brit involved, on the other hand, was really not photogenic.

Well, that only leaves eleven people in the entire country, counting Michael Gambon and the Queen.

An academic from Stanley's HS tried to stop him before the airmen jumped in. (Isn't there a joke about how the airforce never go in first?)
