Sean Astin's dad was Gomez Adams?

So a few days ago, the morning news anchors had a satellite interview with Sean Astin. I was hoping they'd talk to him about his role as Agent Frodo from Division on 24, but no go. They just talked about how his mom, Patty Duke, had bipolar disorder. If I was a news anchor, I would've said, "Are you sure you weren't just confusing her with her identical cousin, Sean Astin? Like maybe she'd come into the room, and suddenly she's all British and proper?" Then I'd laugh, and laugh and laugh.

Speaking of 24, this week's torture scene was my favorite yet. We had to rewind and watch it twice. For those of you who missed it, it went something...like this...

PRESIDENT NIXON So, tell me, buddy...where's the nerve gas these days?

You've read my profile. You know what I'm capable of. I'm gonna cut you and cut you and cut you some more! And I'm gonna pull out your eyeballs and shove them up your nostrils, and then I'm gonna punch you in the nose!

Yes, he actually talked in internet slang.

1. It's agent samwise.
2. You forgot all of Aaron's awesomeness.
3. Gomez lives in my mother's building. Riding in an elevator with him is a trip.

Look, I make the rules. His name is Agent Frodo and I'll hear nothing else on the subject.
