In retrospect, Tropic, posting first may not have been such a good idea...

Jack Bauer's so tough he wears out his clothes...from the inside out.
Posted by: Stupendous Man | January 20, 2006 at 06:26 PM
Jack Bauer sleeps with a night light; not because he is afraid of the dark, but because the dark is afraid of him.

Who's Jack Bauer? *duzsh* "AHHH! What the HELL???? I've been shot in the thigh!!!!"

Jack Bauer shot up all his mirrors - cuz no one stares at Jack Bauer.

HA HA!! Those were too funny. And I don't even watch the show anymore

Hilarious!! Loved the intro, too, Judi!

Hmm... I've never seen this "24" show of which you speak, but it sounds as if this Jack Bauer fellow and Chuck Norris ought to meet up some time....... FOR THE EPIC BATTLE OF THE MILLENIUM!!!

Teal'c? Is that you?
No wait, Teal'c would have said "I have" - I love the STTNG (and X Files) puns in that show....
Posted by: Jacki | January 20, 2006 at 08:39 PM
It's "he hates everything", of Mikey. Not "he eats everything".
It has always boggled my mind that people would confuse that. I mean, the commercial is about them being /surprised/ that Mikey likes it.
Hey Mikey!

Once Jack Bauer noticed that the newspapers were filled with annoying articles about how the comunists are superpowers and how they are evil. This annoyed him, seeing as how they started cutting out his favorite comics. The next day, Russia collapsed.

Indeed. Jack Bauer is a most formidable warrior.

I'd be willing to make a small wager that Jack wouldn't be so tough around Maxwell Smart ... just sayin' ...

Snorking heavily at Teal'c (if that is possible).
So hey Teal'c, maybe you can explain the following to me:
Why does Data get more yellow with each STTNG film, and what happened to him after he enthusiastically helped the Fresh Prince to save the world from mean aliens?
How did the CSM become an Ori, and did his acension help him to quit smoking?
Is Byers still stuck in Anarctica or do I not know because I haven't watched Atlantis?

Mikey only liked it because Jack Bauer told him to like it.
Posted by: bbescuela | January 20, 2006 at 10:42 PM
Jacki,
They're really pushing (?) the BM (!) lately ... I, too, received some sort of junk mail from them, apparently 'cuz I'd bought an album of a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TYPE of singer (name withheld by request) (mine) ... and so, they thot I'd like to be made aware of something (prolly whut you mentioned) by BM ...
This does NOT compute!
It's almost as if they think that if they bombard 80 bajillion computers with enuf crap, mebbe one-tenth of one percent will buy, if only 'cuz it's "such a great deal! 42% OFF!!!" ...
Le's'see ... that'd be ... um ... carry the nine ... ah ... um ...
42!

So did anyone else make up a fact and submitt it? I don't even watch the show and knew enough to make up the following in honor of his Daveness....
"If you're a terrorist, Jack Bauer won't give you a thigh to stand on."
Posted by: monkeyshines | January 20, 2006 at 10:44 PM
And by the way, Mikey didn't die because he ran out of Life, he died because Jack Bauer killed him.
Posted by: bbescuela | January 20, 2006 at 10:44 PM
Jack Bauer didn't pull the wings off flies when he was a child. He pulled the arms off the children who pulled the wings off flies.

Is it just me, or does the expression "blogged" remind you of an untidy bodily function? "Oh, great,the jackelope's just blogged on the carpeting." Somehow, I think the landlord's not going to like that.
I've always thought that word was _way_ too close to "blag", Irish slang for throwing up, particularly from a hangover.

kaz, you're right of course. i fixed it. thanks!

I tried to watch the first episode of 24. The word 'hokey' came to mind during the fourth minute of the show. I changed the channel and never looked back.
Life's too short to spend it watching crap.
I spent 2 hours watching the sun set beyond Lake Atitlan yesterday. Much more worthwhile.

I've never watched 24, and I guess I never will because, frankly, it'll be a huge let down after this blog to watch it for the first time. Kinda like the f
Posted by: Poop Dogg | January 20, 2006 at 11:46 PM
Sondra,
Indeed that's a beautiful lake. But given 15 minutes alone with a hose, Jack Bauer could make six of those lakes and they'd be 50 times more beautiful. (Nuisance attractions to terrorists, but beautiful nonetheless.)

Cute lake, Sondra ...

Psssst...sly, it's an old joke. "Did you hear Mikey died? Yep, he ran out of Life."
Posted by: bbescuela | January 21, 2006 at 01:09 AM
And I thought all this time it was pop rocks and coke that did it.
Posted by: Leetie | January 21, 2006 at 08:20 AM
I bet Jack Bauer can create AND destroy matter.
Posted by: James Trofe | January 21, 2006 at 10:08 AM
Speaking of lakes, this one is called Crater Lake, so I think it's entirely possible that Jack Bauer may have created the crater and then filled it!
p.s. The water really is that color, it's unbelievably beautiful!

Speaking of productivity enhancers...someone has got to help me get the Badger/Banana phone ring on the other productivity enhancer blog for my cell because I CAN'T GET THE SONG OUT OF MY MIND
Posted by: sparrow | January 21, 2006 at 11:48 AM
El -
That's pretty difficult to accept as a truthful and viable concept ...
I bet Jack just photoshopped the sky ... and the water ... and the island ... and the crater ... and the trees ...
But I can believe that he did this from other stuff he actually created ...
Posted by: U.O | January 21, 2006 at 12:12 PM
Sondra and Eleanor: Those are some beautiful lake shots someone has snapped...but if Jack Bauer had snapped those lakes, you can bet he would have snapped those lakes in the thigh.

"When Jack Bauer says "DAMN IT," God actually damns someone."
WOOOOOO!

Has the blog been changed to say "hates everything" instead of "eats everything", or did I go crazy and misread it the first time?
