When I grow up I want to be like Jack Bauer...
except, you know, without actually getting up off the couch. Is that possible?

Jack Bauer whips more ass in a single day than anybody in television history save for the great Cordell Walker, Texas Ranger, played by legendary comedian Chuck Norris.

I am watching season 4 right now, and last episode, Jack is going into a warehouse just himself against 16 hostiles. Ok, so then my favorite moment comes up. The camera is looking at the exterior of the warehouse, tranquil and calm looking then it whip pans over to Jack breaking some guys neck who was standing guard by a tree. As Jack is cracking the guys neck with his bare hands, he's already looking up figuring out what he's about to do next, haha.

Sorta reminds me of my wrestling trip to Bulgaria. I had to handle business like that. (yeah right, I got worked like a job) :)

1. I heard that Kieffer Sutherland was going deaf....
True story.

A good friend of mine who worked at his private doctor's office told me (and this is a huge secret) that Kieffer also had an enormous diarrhea problem. For whatever reason, he thought that his occasional deafness and the uncontrolled deification were related. I'm not sure what the doctor did (as my friend also didn't know) but when Kieffer came back in later that week his diarrhea was cured. But his deafness was still there. Kieffer didn't know what to do, he still thought the two were related. Convincing my friend that Kieffer didn't know his head from his ass.

4. same here
I have always wanted to just bust through the whole series in like four or five nonstop days. That's 4 seasons of 24 episodes, that would be damn tough. I'd die trying though. :)

5. I really hope this season doesn't suck like the last one did.
It seems one of the writers let some right-wing rhetoric seep in with the Senator Heller character and his daughter.

7. You want to be a psychotic, abusive maniac?
Whom everyone only grudgingly respects because his contrived series constantly writes in excuses for his insane behavior that involve "preventing" terrorism? I post this as a fan of the show--Jack's nothing to admire. That character is possibly the biggest asshole in the history of t.v.

9. Ray Romano just on the basis of having that show is the biggest asshole
in the history of tv.

Jack rocks as a tv character!

Now, real life, that's a different story.

I'm already psychotic. Too sweet to be abusive though. Maybe I could just be a sinister behind the scenes time figure? That might work. :)
