Met a super secret top security clearence guy...

[Sarlon]

Legal reasons I can't say where....but the answer is no.

5 minutes later my co worker sitting near me gets him again and gets an even bigger laugh cause now that the balance only shows $250 its a conspiracy to steal all his hard earned money from all the top secret work he did for the government.

By any chance, did this guy live in Minnesota?

I also liked his 1970's series "The Invisible Man", but I rarely encounter anyone who remembers it.

I saw it in Albuquerque, NM, 1983. Channel 23. The first episode, or maybe a TV movie that led to the series.

You remember that one too??

SciFi used to show that some years back . . . I was able to get most of the episodes on VHS that way (only ran for 13 weeks back in the 1975-76 season.)

Update: just searched on Amazon and it's coming out on DVD this spring!!!

That's my main reason for watching NCIS too.

Love that episode, BTW. I still crack up every time.

It's amazing these days what computers can be used for. They ain't just for hacking and watching porn anymore.

Indeed! Bodily harm, for example! (DISCLAIMER: possibly NSFW due to language)

Saw an item about one of those modified vehicles on the RISKS digest. Agent in Mexico got killed despite armoured Suburban. Got forced off the road, put it in "Park", and the door locks automatically unlocked. It seems someone had configured the "what to do when shifter gets put into park" option wrong after it left the armour place.

The tampering with the configuration could have been done remotely with a computer.

Funny, because the folks who do all the car mods for the US government, and many private parties have their shop not too far from Cincinnati here. The only time they have serious security is if they're working on on of the presidential escort limos, as the Secret Service doesn't want anyone to see what all the goodies are going into the cars. I do know at least one go-round of Secret Service SUVs had pop-up minigun turrets, like in that one Mythbusters episode.

I missed the part where Ilya talked to dead people. "grin"

Though an "UNCLE" episode involving THRUSH and the supernatural...maybe a crossover with "Friday the 13th:The Series"-interesting fanfic. Or maybe Napoleon and Ilya meet the Munsters, or the Addams Family? Considering that in the TV movie back in '83, they had George Lazenby driving around in an Aston Martin with the license plate, "JB"...

That was pretty cool . . . (yes, I own a copy on DVD as well as the complete series)

While I've heard of crossovers being done, I can't say I've ever heard of an MFU/Munsters story. I did consider crossing them over with South Park at one time, but I seriously cannot fathom Illya Kuryakin putting up with Eric Cartman's mouth for any length of time. My opinion on that is that somebody could end up being buried alive . . .

Could be done though depending on what the author has in mind. To me, when it comes to fanfic, anything is possible.

Yeah, I love when TV shows give a wink to a star's previous show. Like Castle has done several shout-outs to Firefly.

Just to be nitpicky though, I believe Gibbs was asked what did Ducky look like when he was younger, rather than what was he like.

Sounds SO 1983 there . . . which reminds me of one of my stories where Lynda and Brenda got caught for speeding in a Cadillac Eldorado and when the state trooper asked Brenda to step out, she closed the driver's door a bit hard and the machine gun turrets popped out from behind the front headlights.

Of course, neither sister knew how those 4 one-gallon jugs of Texas Well Water happened to be in the trunk either.

And on that note, I'll shut up because I'm probably sounding a lot like Ducky right about now . . .

Reminds me of one of our delusional letter-writers when I worked for the car manufacturer. 10-page letters outlining how he was supposed to be getting bullet proof, missle-proof, armor plated SUVs, because he set up all of the manufacturing in the world. They were supposed to be delivered to a top-secret, undisclosed location.

Ok, now I've got Johnny Rivers singing "Secret Agent Man" in my head, and I've a feeling it's gonna be there all day now. Maybe I'll go watch my boxed set of The Prisoner DVD's.......

Maybe his "billions" on his card are only accessible at The Village.......

Could be worse. Toledo Polkamotion does Secret Agent Man.

And of course you wrote back to him to say the requested vehicle was ready and waiting for him. Unfortunately, they wouldn't tell you where the top-secret, undisclosed location was, so you can't tell him.

Methinks that was Secret Squirrel. "grin" There's a man who leads a life of danger...with every mission, he gets stranger...

OMG! Secret Squirrel! I have that on a patch! - in "swat" style.



let me guess, his uber secret job was "Space shuttle door gunner"?

(yes there's a patch for that one too - my bf has it). :-)
