Why do we screw around with shoelaces when Velcro is readily available?

I refuse to acknowledge the arguments of a friend who says they make you look like an old man, even though I saw an old man wearing shoes with Velcro straps over the weekend.

I think that's just because he's older and wiser than the rest of us. Wearing shoes with Velcro says, "To hell with standards. To hell with conventions. To hell with shoelaces."

This all came about because I have a problem with my shoelaces coming untied almost constantly all day long. Sure, I could tie a double knot, but that's asking me to do more work. I don't want to do more work. I want to do less work. I want Velcro straps on an otherwise normal-looking running shoe.

I Can Save the 24 TV Show Franchise

I've heard that for the 7th season, the writers are going to "change things up a bit" in Jack Bauer's world. Yeah, yeah, we've heard it all before. In the end it's going to boil down to this:

"Terrorists are threatening Los Angeles again, and for some reason, Jack Bauer is the only one who can stop them."

That's going to be the story. You know in your heart that I'm right.

Well, I suggest they really do change things up a bit.

Imagine this:

24 - Jack to the Future

That's the season where Jack Bauer finds Doc Brown's Delorean and travels back in time to the first season, when the show was still good.
