What Would Jack Bauer Do?

Just ask yourself this in any impossible situation that you are in. For example:

1. Being attacked by terrorists
2. Locking the keys in the car
3. Being taken hostage and tortured

These are just some of the many situations that could happen in your world. Just remember, when you are in trouble just think “WWJBD” and you will always get out of it unscathed. Hey! Why not? Jack Bauer always does!

In the 2 months where Jack Bauer was presumed dead, Tony Almeida was put in a coma, Michelle and David Palmer were killed, a major hurricane ravaged the Gulf Coast, and Rob Schneider made another movie. See what happens when Jack isn’t around?

Jack Bauer once killed so many terrorists that at one point, the # 5 CIA Most Wanted fugitive was a 15-year-old teenager in Malaysia who downloaded the movie Dodgeball

Finding Nemo would have been vastly more exciting had Jack Bauer been looking for him.

Jack Bauer’s house has an alarm system — not to warn Jack of intruders, but to warn the intruders of Jack.

When President Palmer quit to start doing Allstate commercials, it took him 83 takes before he could stop saying, “You’re in good hands with Jack Bauer”.

In 4 hours, Jack Bauer has killed 93 people and saved the world 4 times. What the f#@k have you done with your life?

Superman’s only weakness is Kryptonite. Jack Bauer laughs at Superman for having a weakness.

Jack Bauer is the leading cause of death in Middle Eastern men.

Jack Bauer played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.

Jack Bauer once forgot where he put his keys. He then spent the next half-hour torturing himself until he gave up the location of the keys.

If everyone on “24″ followed Jack Bauer’s instructions, it would be called “2″.

and finally….. Jack Bauer vs. The entire Chinese population. Fair Game.

Someone took Billy

Where he used to be

Where he used to be

The original post that refers to this joke

He lasted a whole month in there. Maybe he just got sick of the smelly bathroom and complained. But I doubt it. Billy doesn’t worry. He’s happy.

Marketing for Dummies

Includes a shredder, four check fraud prevention pens, and a book about identity theft for $50. Really. Whoever thought up the “for dummies” scheme is a genius.

Hailey Time

It’s really sweet that she came down here and wanted to sit on my lap and “write” as she calls it. Probably shouldn’t have let her use the permanent markers, but oh well, it’ll come off. :-)

She pointed at the markers and said, “I want allllll of them.” So, I gave her two. “No, allll of them.” So, I gave her all of them. “More” she said. “I don’t have more.” I replied. “Ok”

It was funny to watch her go nuts with the markers though it made me a little nervous. She wanted me to draw her hands. Then she wanted me to do her feet. She pulled her little house shoes off and contorted her legs to get her feet up on the desk so I could trace them. That “tickies” is what she said.

No good luck?

Every year, we take part in the tradition of black eyed peas on New Year’s Day. Last year was Michelle’s first time to have them and according to her and judging from the trials of 2008, we won’t be taking part in the tradition again. :-)

I went to the store to get eggs and just browsed down the aisle to maybe get a can for me, but they were all out!! :-(

No Black Eyed Peas??

Maybe these will work too

For Hailey

Lindsey,

If Hailey starts saying “Elbo” show her these. I’ve been showing her them on my iPhone and she likes them.

Love,

Elephant Story

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University.
On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.
Probably wasn’t the same elephant.

On a sign up sheet for a pot-luck

It says, "Curly hair fresh from the beauty salon," "James is a lady," and "Painted Toes." He signed up to make desserts.
It says, “Curly hair fresh from the beauty salon,” “James is a lady,” and “Painted Toes.” He signed up to make desserts. I’m responsible of course.

Update: James says, “U suck” to me through email while I’m sitting right next to him and watching him type it.

Chab

The epitomy of indifference. I realized after I made this, that I made a “b” instead of a “d.” “D” is for dumb. I didn’t care enough to fix it at the time and was really given a hard time. They called me “Chab” all day yesterday, but now that it’s starting to melt it bothers me more. After taking this picture, I took a snow shovel to it. You may now call me “Chab” or “Jack” or any number of names that aren’t my given.

Inner Peace

From the email:

I am passing this on to you because it definitely worked for me today, and we all could probably use more calm in our lives! Some doctor on the TV this morning said that the way to achieve inner peace isto finish all the things you have started. So I looked around my house to see things I’d started and hadn’t finished and, before leaving the house his morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of shhhardonay, a bodle of Baileys, abutle of vocka, a pockage of Pringlies, tha mainder of a botl Prozic and Valumscriptins, the res of the Chesescke an a box a chocolets. Yu haf no idr who gud I fel. Peas sen dis orn to anyy yu fee ar in ned ov inr pece.

Snow Angel

Chad Was Here

A conversation while taking this picture

Chad: I should have had you take my picture while I did that

James: Well, lay down there again and I will

Chad: No way! I got snow down my pants.

James: We should get four guys in boxers and take a picture playing cards at the picnic table.

Chad: Why even wear boxers?

James: I don’t like snow in my crack.

Chad: Yeah, I know the feeling.

Just because…

I would call, but this is more fun and is delivered to some people specifically, but to all my readers in general.
