Actually, I think it&#8217;s only the second line-item. But it&#8217;s a doozy. For whatever reason, I started speaking to JWo in a rich, rolling Irish brogue. I startled myself with how good it was, because normally all my accents tumble and crash within two minutes into something distantly Australian. (Crikey!) I simply channeled the spirit of a dead Irish priest and spoke to him gently &#038; kindly, asking him what he thought of &#8220;24&#8221; &#038; Jack Bauer, my child.  Then I asked for some good whiskey. I felt like the next Meryl Streep. <\/p>\n<p>Then, JWo started screaming, STOP IT STOP IT!<\/p>\n<p>Hm! A chink in the armor! I shall stow this information away and return to it again, when it will be mooooost useful. MOOOOHAHAHAHAHAHA! <\/p>\n<p>Oh, you probably were wondering what the first item on the Stop Bugging The Crap Out Of Me list was. Well, I also channel a ferocious, wily gopher. It&#8217;s quite a look for me, and I expect when I&#8217;m senile &#038; calling myself Paddy O&#8217; Furniture in my golden years, rambling about the Potato Famine and the rolling green hills, I&#8217;ll still utilize this face to scare the young &#8216;uns &#038; get &#8217;em off my lawn. This one REALLY scares James, and in fact, it scares Kristin, too. I don&#8217;t bring this face out for many folks, just the ones closest to me&#8230;.
