It's so early, but this is my second for today and if it seems like I'm picking on Mark Watt, I am!

- Mark Watt because I would think if you were going to pay someone a "social call" you should at least make an effort to wear clean clothes! EW!

+ Lester for not making some condescending comment about "racking" them up; They're knights, queens, and rooks for heaven sake, not billiard balls!

Addendum to my demise of Charlotte Smalls:
In my demise of Charlotte Small, I hinted how Jim had saved Lori Longlashes' life in that very same subway. Well, she is too shy to tell you herself how this happened so here it is.
The Day Jim Saved Lori's Life in the Subway

It'a a cold January morning as Lori Longlashes and her six friends leave Brooklyn from the York Street station for the city. They have all met in NY to see their favorite actor who is starring in a Broadway show, Doubt. They have tickets to the matinee, but decided to make a day of it by going on an early morning shopping trip to Canal Street-home of the "fie dolla" genuine Rolex, Gucci Bag, Kate Spade, knockoffs. As they are waiting on the platform for the train to arrive, Lori becomes enamored with the most handsome dog she has ever seen, and before she realizes it she is swept up in the rushing commuter crowd right into the train. She does not even know until the doors close that the rest of her party did not get on.
Lori begins to panic as she is unfamiliar with the city, when the man holding the dog grabs her arm and says, "Don't worry, come and sit by me. I will show you what stop to get off and where you can wait for your friends. I am certain they will just be on the next train."
"Wow", she thinks, "is he ever handsome" as he introduces himself to her.
"Did anyone ever tell you that you look exactly like Ron Eldard, an actor starring right now on Broadway?"
"Never heard of him", replies the Handsome Homicide Detective. (From now on, referred to as the HHD)
MEANWHILE: In the NBC studios in Rockerfellar Center, Today Show host Matt Lauer has breaking news. "Homeland Security has issued an alert that it appears that two terrorists have infiltrated the subway system of NY. It is suspected that they are on the train that just left the York St. station heading for Canal Street." Matt and Katie, during a commercial break, race from the studio to be at the Canal Station when the train arrives to have a first hand report.
Back on the train, Jim pretends to be listening to Lori as she goes on and on to him about her favorite actor and how much he, the HDD looks like him. In reality his senses are on high alert as he has picked up two middle Eastern accents a few seats behind him. During his rehabilitation and year long preparation to get his job back, he took numerous online courses to help him in his job. One of these courses was "Terrorist Buzz Words in Their Native Tongue". He translates what sounds to him like "hostage situation", "boxcutters", and "16 vestil virgins". At about this same time, his nose tells him that those spices he smells on their breaths, is definitely Middle Eastern Spices from their last meal.
Without concern for his own safety, he tells Lori to get under the seat to get her out of harms way. In a flash, he sics Hank on one of the terrorists, and with three quick karate moves and a chokehold, wrestles the second terrorist to the floor , just as the train pulls into the station. As the doors open and FBI agents rush in to arrest the terrorists, the whole car breaks into applause for the HHD. He stands to brush off his Burberry coat, as Matt Lauer reaches him with a microphone eager to get the first interview. Not wanting to be a "glory Hound", Jim says to Matt, "Do you have to do this now? Do you have to do this today?" "I am going to be late for work", and he slaps his thigh and grabs Hank's harness and walks out of the train.
Matt Lauer is actually happy that the interview did not take place, since he noticed that the HHD was better looking than he was.
Soon Lori's friends arrive on the next train and their shopping expedition continues. Before heading uptown for the afternoon matinee, Lori asks her friends if they would mind accompanying her to the 8th Precinct on the corner of Pitt and Broome, just a few blocks from Canal. She would like to thank him again for saving her life and she wants to give him a genuine Dobbs Fedora knockoff, that she bought for "fie dollar" on Canal Street.
Entering the squad room at the eighth, she says "Detective Dunbar, I'm Lori Longlashes from the train and i would like to thank you again for saving my life. I have brought you this hat, since it is very cold and you know you lose 90% of your body heat out the top of your head."
"Come here, Lori" he says.
Lori goes to his desk and places the hat on the corner of his desk. He reaches out and lightly touches her arm as he says "Thank you Lori."
"You're a good guy, detective" she says, as Tom looks on with awe.
As she is leaving the squad and passing Marty's desk she says, "Listen guys, look at this picture from the Doubt Website, don't you think Detective Dunbar looks like this man." They look closely but do not agree.
"However", Marty says, "Last week Jim went undercover on a drug deal and he wore a tee and an open flannel shirt and wore a fake goatee, and we thought he was the spitting image of that guy on Bakersfield, PD. We forget his name." "Hey Jim do that goofy grin when we told you that you looked like Wade Preston."
Just then Lori turned and took a picture of Jim wearing the fedora with the Wade Preston grin on his face. This has since become her avatar.

[Duchess of Lashes]

And for that, you get KARMA! Such a tale and you spin it well! I am still giggling, although I wonder why it is that Jim is only pretending to be paying attention to me on that subway train....I really don't go on and on and on about things, do I? I try not to. I hope I don't!

But, Mary, I have to ask, as an impartial point of view, don't you think he looks like that actor who is starring on Broadway right now? Come on, you have to see the resemblance, it's there I swear it is! There's absolutely no DOUBT in my mind whatsoever.

And you know, that actor on Broadway, the one who looks like HHD, he has a hat exactly like the one I paid a little more than "fie" dollars for (the single little detail you did get wrong!) I might be cheap, but I no longer have to worry about the Canadian/US exchange rate so I can afford to spend a little more!

So, who is my Avatar then? Is it that really HHD, or is it that Broadway actor, or is that funny detective from Bakersfield or perhaps.......yes, I supposeit could be.... a doppleganger! I leave it up to you to figure out!

Mary, that was so good! I'm still laughing. It was well worth the wait. How do you think of these things?

[rducasey]

If there had not been a threat on board the train that day, I am sure he would have been listening intently to your story, Lori. And don't worry, because we don't mind if you go on and on and on and on, about the day you met Ron. But please, be honest, that is not Ron in the fedora, it is Jim doing his Wade smile. But either way , it's adorable.

You have my permission to go on and on if you want as well. We still have a long wait--but not as long as we used to.
