Thighs girded.
Posted by: Siouxie | April 16, 2009 at 10:02 AM
I"m so-o-o-o-o-o glad I live in Brooklyn...
Plus, shouldn't the next season take place in Montpelier? And involve an evil (but hilarious) TV personality trying to hijack a space station? Wouldn't that be great?

I thought the Muppets already took Manhattan...no?

Isn't "MBA type with a razor sharp intellect" an oxymoron?
Dang. I already miss Freckles...

In an episode that stops the clock, Jack takes the #5 train to Dyre Ave.

Since girding one's thighs can be interpreted as setting a perimeter...
*Drinks!*
Posted by: Hammond Rye | April 16, 2009 at 10:48 AM
I can't wait to see all the sites in New York that we never knew were there or even existed!
Posted by: Margaritaville | April 16, 2009 at 10:49 AM
Yes, the crosstown traffic chases should be even more realistic than they were in LA or DC...
Posted by: Allen at Division | April 16, 2009 at 11:05 AM
Since I still don't have tv I guess this is another non news story.
Posted by: ron | April 16, 2009 at 11:08 AM
What have my thighs got to do......oh. bark.
Posted by: Whiteschnauzer | April 16, 2009 at 11:26 AM
Well...I guess this means that Chloe survives this season as well.
Posted by: Wes S. | April 16, 2009 at 11:38 AM
What Lairbo said goes for me too.
Can't wait to see Jack drive from Times Square to Ground Zero in 5 minutes.

"Chloe, check the servers in the Blade tower! I sent this in yesterday, but The Blog is not getting my emails, Dammit!!" (ducks)

*Ducks & SMACKS* Sharkie for whining!
Posted by: Siouxie | April 16, 2009 at 11:47 AM
(whispers something indecipherable but threatening at Siouxie)
Posted by: MartiniShark | April 16, 2009 at 11:50 AM
*SMACKS* Marteenyshark for dissin' Siouxie!
(OT - new Yankee Stadium opening ceremonies are being televised live right now on mlb.com...yes, I know there are a lot of Yankee haters here, but the new stadium is pretty cool./OT)

Question for the boys: Does excessive thigh-girding hurt your todger?
*glares @ Sharkie* say something???
(YAY for Annie. Not a fan but she's my sistah-girl)
Posted by: Siouxie | April 16, 2009 at 11:59 AM
"I gotcher perimeter right here, pal" is a line of dialogue I'm hoping to hear next season.
Note to Jack: Don't shoot New Yorkers in the thigh, it just makes us madder.
Posted by: Lairbo | April 16, 2009 at 12:00 PM
The Tank Mcnamara comic strip has been doing an amusing series on the tours of new Yankee Stadium for the New Yorkers who will never be able to afford to go to a game now. You can find it online (no shameless plugs from me!)
Posted by: Allen at Division | April 16, 2009 at 12:08 PM
On Day 8, Jack attempts to appear on all the NY-based news and talk shows (Maury: "Jack, you're NOT the father!") as well as Law & Order, Law & Order SVU, CSI: New York, Ugly Betty, 30 Rock, and Celebrity Apprentice.
Posted by: Braniff | April 16, 2009 at 12:11 PM
Will they commerate the spot where they had to break into the foundation to pull up the Red Sox jersey that was sunk in the concrete?
Posted by: MartiniShark | April 16, 2009 at 12:12 PM
Is it true that Jack will land a plane in the Hudson, then swim/drag said plane to safety?
Posted by: Joshua | April 16, 2009 at 12:16 PM
If you wanna be part of the concrete there, Mshark, that can be arranged. ;)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 16, 2009 at 12:16 PM
Wait'll they start closing streets in NY to shoot the show. Yeow!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 16, 2009 at 12:20 PM
Wha?! It was a legit question. I don't do hardball so I weren't stirring it up, just curious.
Posted by: MartiniShark | April 16, 2009 at 12:20 PM
*Waves (belatedly) @ Siouxie!!!*
*Waves @ Annie!!!*
Umm, Mshark, have you filled out the standard blog injury waiver, especially the Next-of-Kin portion?
Posted by: Hammond Rye | April 16, 2009 at 12:25 PM
The guy who buried the Red Sox jersey in the Yankee concrete is a mole. In the next season, Jack will stab him in the thigh.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 16, 2009 at 12:27 PM
I'd love to see Jack match driving skills with a NYC cabbie.
Posted by: Siouxie | April 16, 2009 at 12:28 PM
Of course, just like in DC, there will be no traffic.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 16, 2009 at 12:43 PM
I'm waiting for the episode where Jack chases a terrorist dressed as a woman, given away by his "man hands," and shoots him in his todger while the villain is climbing into a Geo Metro to escape through mid-town traffic.
Actually, in NY, that might not seem so surreal.
Posted by: Pinky | April 16, 2009 at 12:54 PM
True dat, Pinky. Now if frogs were involved...
Posted by: Siouxie | April 16, 2009 at 01:04 PM
Good thing they didn't succeed at blowing the eastern seaboard up a week or so ago on 24. I'm thinking there will be a lot of subway action.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 16, 2009 at 01:11 PM
I don't like the idea of new characters. I miss the OLD characters. I want Chloe more. Hope Tony is there. If they make Tony bad just to kill him off that's a major cop out. I want President Logan. I want Noah Daniels. I want President All State resurrected. I want Mike back. I want Aaron. Pffffzt on NEW PEOPLE. Bring back the PEOPLE WE LOVE! HELL, I'd even settle for Hoggett.
Posted by: Wizzy | April 16, 2009 at 01:57 PM
Geez. TypePad is being cranky even now.
Wonder if we'll have a good chase and shoot-out at the Statue of Liberty....

" Whadda YOU lookin' at ? "
Posted by: Clankazoid | April 16, 2009 at 03:23 PM
First King Kong, Godzilla, Jason Vorhees, Carrie Bradshaw, and now Jack Bauer. What did NYC do to deserve that much carnage. Oh wait, I forgot about Letterman.
Posted by: Doc Rick | April 16, 2009 at 03:41 PM
I'm sorry, sir, but the sign says no parking at this time on Mondays and Thursdays. You can pick up your car at the tow pound on West Street. If you have the proper ID and the $175 fee, they will return your canisters. Have a nice day.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 16, 2009 at 03:46 PM
I bet there is a secret tunnel connecting New York to the White House. It will take next season to confirm my suspicions.
Posted by: Pannus | April 16, 2009 at 03:49 PM
My question is, will we be getting a new President by then? I'm not sure I can take another season of Olivia and Henry.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 16, 2009 at 04:03 PM
The plot will involve a dastardly plan to cause gridlock on the New York City streets so the entire 24 hours will be Jack trying to get across town!
Oh wait, that's normal traffic in New York City.
Posted by: Frederic | April 16, 2009 at 05:40 PM
I'm betting Jack will shoot someone in the thigh when he finds out tickets in the new Yankee's stadium are 2500.00 a piece. I wouldn't blame him.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 16, 2009 at 07:36 PM
Not to be a grammar Nazi, but my last name is spelled the same as Jon Voight's bad-guy character this season. But I forgive you Dave.
Posted by: bluorangefyre | April 16, 2009 at 11:38 PM
a) Jack chases swarthy middle eastern terrorist into traffic and loses him in cab drivers.
b)a la Rocketman, Jack enlists patriotic 'Goodfellas' to combat terrorist stockbrokers (gotta get a job somewhere).
c)Hasidic Jack partners with the Zohan and gets his ass kicked.
