Nope. It's just a girl version of Joliet Jake from the Blues Brothers. But having a username with a name already in it is convenient, so I'm happy with being called "Jane."
My real one? As Tex says, "I've got to know somebody pretty thoroughly before I come clean on that one."

well, he was never the same again
This must be the video you are referring to:

lol actually I have that in my favourites already. But I guess I thought "Street View" was something they made up for the purpose of the video, guess I should be worried now that the other parts weren't made up either
Great video.

The cameras used for that are usually posted on top of Traffic lights... So next time you are sitting at a red light, look up and see if there is a little white camera... If it's pointed in your general direction make a face, never know if someone is looking or not...

lol I can see the many faces of Bafitis is probably pinned up in a few security guard offices then
I'd pull a face but they would probably make the traffic lights stay red forever in return.

When my wife and I see one of those traffic light cameras we start smooching. Younger people HATE to see older ones necking. It makes them go Yuck! and it makes us laugh.

So yeah, you never know who's watching!

Google Earth would be an awesome market for the creators of Where's Wally? to cash in on. That would take the fun to a whole new level of realism, not to mention the educational benefits in geography for children.
In other news:
THIS IS MY 200TH POST!!!!

Bafitis wrote:Yes, Noah Wyle was his name... He played Dr. John Carter on the show... Still one of the most popular Drs. from the Show, among the fans that is... And though has hasn't been on the show in quite some time, he still holds the Most Episodes among all ER Actors/Actresses... Current record of ER Appearances goes to Noah Wyle with 249 Episodes, with close runner up Laura Innes, who played Dr. Kerry Weaver, with 245 Episodes... After these two the closest is 209...
As for Wyle's Librarian Movies {made for TV} there are 3 of them total...
The Librarian - Quest For The Spear {2004}
The Librarian - Return To King Solomon's Mines {2006}
The Librarian - The Curse Of The Judas Chalice {2008}
I haven't seen the 3rd one, not even positive if it has Aired on TV yet... It does say however that the release date was April of 2008... So it should have Aired sometime last Month... There is no Plot information on the Movie, however, Jonathan Frakes Directed the last 2 of the them... Some of you may know him as Commander William T. Riker from Star Trek The Next Generation... He is also Rumored to be playing the Grandfather in the soon to be made Castlevania Movie...
Okay that is more than enough Useless Information that I'm sure most of you or all of you didn't want or care to know about...
Noah Wyle has actually always been #1 on my list of actors I'd choose to play Tex if CJ was unavailable for any reason--
especially after seeing him in the Librarian movies. If you haven't watched those, be sure to rent them sometime and hopefully you'll see what I mean. He pulls off the bumbling hero role rather well, and looks more than a fair bit like CJ to boot.

You know what James, that is a great thought... Wyle would have to Scruff up a bit with the facial hair, but I agree with you, I think he would make a decent replacement for Tex... Though of course I would hate to see CJ unable to do the part, but if it came down to it, or if somehow any or all of the Tex games could be made into a movie or show, Wyle would be a very reasonable candidate...

Good call, oh great site moderator and provider of genius insight. I had never thought about him in the role of Tex until now...and you know...I just glanced over at Tex on the right hand side of the page as I was typing this and I pictured Noah Wyle in the trenchcoat and fedora and it freaked me out how he would be able to physically just slide right into that character. Great call James.
