Everything I Need To Know, I Learned From Alex Krycek

by Carly


  • Nothing breaks the ice like DOT statistics.
  • Shoot first, ask questions later, just when you realize you've fucked up big time.
  • Set goals for yourself. (overcome your fear of heights, achieve world domination, etc.)
  • Any good palm pilot comes equipped with the ability to vanquish your enemies.
  • Choose a side.
  • Stop looking for the truth because there is no truth.
  • Have your hair done at Supercuts.
  • To escape from a cramped, underground space, simply pray to the almighty Carter for deliverance.
  • Should you find yourself trapped in an ordinary pair of handcuffs, forget Carter - you're on your own.
  • Switch sides.
  • Bald men carry grudges.
  • Take your beatings like man.
  • Never go into a public restroom alone.
  • Never, EVER, wander around in a Russian forest alone.
  • Don't smoke.
  • Slideshows accent any presentation. Switch sides again.
  • Blondes aren't dumb, and neither are redheads.
  • Keep your friends close, but your enemies close enough to kiss.
  • If your car or VCR is blinking "12:00 12:00 12:00", run, don't walk, to the nearest repairman.
  • Switch sides yet *again*.
  • Black leather can go from day, to night, to peddling foreign secrets.
  • You know you're making real career progress when your boss lets you drive the company car.
  • If you must kill, do it in an ambiguous fashion. That way, misguided philes will always defend you. [editors note: misguided..MY ASS!]
  • Do you even remember what side you were on? You better remember.
  • Your phobia of WB-40 is perfectly normal.
  • Get a hobby, like sewing, for instance.
  • When in doubt, plam it.
  • You might as well smile, because it's all going to hell anyway.
