User:Mr. Floppy

Greetings, 24 fans! Congratulations on making it three long years. To mark this excellent milestone, I've got a challenge for all of you....

My name is Mr. Floppy and I am a light brown, crocheted dachshund. Some of you may have heard of me before, perhaps even seen me around, but I'm willing to wager my stuffing that most of you had no idea I even existed until now. I worked as an extra during the first season of 24. The show has always had a wonderful cast of ubiquitous extras, from CTU workers to Secret Service agents to the myriad terrorist stuntmen who get killed week after week in unpleasant ways by that Jack Bauer bloke. Lacking the appropriate anthropomorphisms, I was unable to fulfill any of those particular roles, yet whenever a scene called for a dashing young stuffed animal to flesh out the background, I was always willing to step in and play my part. Mrs. Floppy was even able to share a scene with me in one episode. But while the people were great to work with and the catering was top-notch, when my good friend Stephen Hopkins left the show, so did I. And while I never garnered the fame and fortune of a certain baseball-logoed coffee mug, I was able to leave behind a small legacy among the most die-hard 24 fans.

In light of the recent fervent archiving of some of the less vocal, yet omnipresent characters on the show, Mr. Proudhug has tracked me down and asked me here to finally come out and reveal myself after all these years. And what better place to officially expose my existence than the most complete source of 24 information in the world? Sure I could easily post a list of all of my appearances for you guys to ogle over, but where would be the fun in that? Instead, I'm going to make it a bit of a contest for the editors of Wiki 24. A bit of a scavenger hunt. Call me the next Waldo, if you will.

During the course of the first season, I popped up in numerous shots, almost always partially or completely obscured. As a matter of fact, sometimes all you can see is my silhouette. My challenge to you, of course, is to capture as many of my appearances as possible on my new page: Mr. Floppy. I must admit that I'm a little brassed off about it taking three years for you fellas to create an article about me, but I'm glad it's finally happening. To hell with that bloody mug... Mr. Floppy is the true mascot of 24!

Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions. In the meantime, happy editing and happy hunting!

Mr. Floppy
