1. I'd give it a 50/50
Pretty big net they cast, but anybody looking any further would have been bored out of their mind I think.

2. I can't believe they don't have more refined techniques
for finding people who are really a threat.

3. I know this sounds odd, but I bet Freepers would guess Maybe too...
I mean, they understand the whole Hoover approach to information gathering they just agree with it. I'd bet that most of them would vote Maybe but then say "Hey, I've got nothing to worry about- unless Paris Hilton's porno tape was filmed by Al Qaeda!"

Just a thought....

5. I just had an FBI background check for my teaching license.
I came up with a clean record. Guess I'll have to try harder.

6. A few weeks before Ch*ney came to Billings
I left a post at Left in the West..."so many targets, so little time", I was referring to the freeway blogging I do here but lo and behold, two very nice MIB's stopped by and said "hi" a few days before his visit. I explained what I meant by the comment, I showed them the big cardboard signs I had made for the "event" and apologized for a poor choice of words on my part. The day of Ch*ney's visit, I had trouble with the local LEO's and it was those two MIB that came to my rescue...go figure. They were pro's and at least understood my right to protest-unlike the local LEO's who had me surrounded...

they would have been mostly extremely bored.

But then I remembered. For years, my husband and I have referred to our son as "The Doughnut."

We started calling him that, unbeknownst to him, after Dunkin' Donuts came out with that series of commercials with the short rotund baker who, at all hours of the day and night, would stop whatever he was doing and say, "Time to make the doughnuts!"

Thus, when it was time to pick up the young'un from the bus or from school, we'd day, "Time to pick up The Doughnut."

These days, I'll call from work and ask, "Did you pick up The Doughnut?" He'll answer, "Yep, I've got the Doughnut."

Or vice versa.

Are we screwed or what? :yoiks: :scared:

on edit: Hi Agent Mike! We really do call my son The Doughnut! Honest!
