Lisa and I stayed up until 1 AM last night finishing the 2nd season of '24'. We haven't been this crazy about a show since 'ALIAS'. Before that it was 'X-Files'.
Lisa started watching them first on the treadmill every day, then I became hooked. We tried to limit our viewing to a single episode per night once the kids were in bed, but that limitation has quickly gone out the window. I don't just want to be like Jack Bauer when I grow up, I want to be Jack Bauer when I grow up. Either Jack or Chuck Norris...I can't decide which one is tougher. If Jack Bauer and Chuck Norris were ever in the same room, all of the elements of the earth would spontaneously implode or generate a black hole or something.
So here we go...these are all original, made up by yours truly.
1. Jack Bauer was tortured to death and then came back to life and killed his torturers.
2. Jack Bauer has already saved the world. Twice.
3. Jack can shoot 87 bullets out of a gun that only holds 15 rounds.
4. Jack carries enough ammunition in his pockets to hold off the 3rd Infantry for hours.
5. Jack can save his daughter's life several times over WHILE saving the world.
6. When Jack Bauer says, "I give you my word", it's as good as gold.
7. Jack can fly a plane AND a helicopter.
8. Jack can fly an airplane WITH a nuclear bomb aboard, jump out 5 minutes before it crashes, and live to tell the tale.
9. Jack's real name is Kiefer. It just sounds cool.
10. Lisa says that watching Jack Bauer makes you run faster and sweat more.
11. Not sure what she means by that...
12. When Jack jumps into water, he doesn't get wet; the water gets Jack.
13. Jack sleeps with BOTH eyes open...while running.
14. Jack doesn't require food, he absorbs nutrients from the life surrounding him.
15. The only person anyone should ever really trust is Jack Bauer.
16. I can come up with 24 things about 24 but cannot come up with 25 Random Things on Facebook.
17. Probably because Jack Bauer is way cooler than Facebook.
18. Jack Bauer doesn't kill anyone who doesn't absolutely deserve it.
19. Even the President of the United States wants to be Jack Bauer.
20. If the President trusts Jack more than his own wife and chief of staff, shouldn't American currency be changed to say "In Jack We Trust"???
21. When Jack Bauer dies, his ashes will be used as a biological weapon.
22. Jack Bauer was never born; he was spawned from the depths of a volcano.
23. Jack Bauer was baptized into the LDS Church, I swear it!
24. Watching 24 with your wife will improve your marriage and make your children more obedient.
I am, in no way, suggesting that Jack Bauer is tougher than Chuck Norris. They are 2 forces of nature that should never exist on the same continent.

Ha! that was a good one. I guess that I need to start watching that. I have almost seen every House, Bones, and Charmed and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and hmm... I think I have watched to many tv series. Oh well, I will watch now. You have convinced me.
HAR! Will it seriously make my kids more obedient? I already have the perfect marriage. Will it make my GRANDKIDS more obedient?
How about Cameron?
Jack Bauer has the power.
My neighbor came over and asked if I had power last night. I said yes. They said, if our power dosen't come on before 8 can we come over and watch Jack Bauer. I laughed my butt off!
Bwah ha ha ha! Very funny! Have you heard that Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas?
HEY, THOSE ARE TOTALLY AWESOME..AND BY THE WAY,WHAT CALIBER DOES JACK PREFER?
I know what #10 means!
Sounds like a dream boat to me.
BTW...in seasons one and two Jack Bauer shoots a SigSauer P229 which comes in 9mm and 40 S&W. I have also never heard him state WHICH caliber he shoots, but if I had to guess at what Jack prefers to shoot, it would be the .45 ACP. Long live Jack Bauer.
