I like to drink coffee while I watch radar.

(The MI has recently installed a technological marvel which allows the staff to look forward into the future to determine problems that will occur during gametime. Our investigators recently discovered a recording of staffers attempting to work the machine - below is a transcript of this meeting - Eds.)

Pete: What am I looking at? When does this happen in the show?
Gary: Now. You're looking at now, Pete. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
Pete: What happened to then?
Gary: We passed then.
Pete: When?
Gary: Just now. We're at now, now.
Pete: Go back to then!
Gary: When?
Pete: Now.
Gary: Now?
Pete: Now!
Gary: I can't.
Pete: Why?
Gary: We missed it.
Pete: When?
Gary: Just now.
Pete: When will then be now?
Gary: Soon.
Pete: How soon?
Mike West: Sir!
Pete: What?
Mr. West: We've identified their location!
Pete: Where?
Not Related to Adam West : It's on the south side.
Gary: Good work. Get their squad number and prepare for pullage.
Pete: When?
M. West, or Mike W.: Tee-Tah-TAH, sir!
Gary: By high noon tomorrow they will be an alternate!
Pete: WHO?!?!

Uh, Imig, are you the Professional? Seriously, who else quotes Spaceballs as much as you do?

My quest (hehehehehe) is figuring out who The Professional is.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it people! Us mathematicians can do puns too!

I am getting a bit closer to finding the identity. I'll give you some help that I found. M. West or Mike W. is in the same manner a certain Matt K. or M. Kutylo would start EVERY story he told. So that is a sign of the age of The Professional.
