This is a portion of a TLJBD guide we reposted for today.
With the four-hour start of Season 6, we are going to celebrate Talk Like Jack Bauer Day on January 15th. Yes, we ripped off Talk Like a Pirate Day, sue us. (Please don't actually sue us as we have no money.) We thought about having a Talk Like Edgar Day, but it just revolved around obscene amounts of Ho-Hos and crying. Talk Like Tony Day involved too many needles and participating in Talk Like Chloe Day would just end up pissing people off.
Here's a little "how-to" guide to talking like Jack Bauer on January 15th from your pals at Blogs4Bauer. If you have any other suggestions, please add them to the comments or email us.
Q: I don't know how to "talk" like Jack Bauer.
You're already well on your way, since that was not a question and Jack does not have time for questions. Additionally, if you find yourself not knowing how to talk like Jack Bauer, it's acceptable to just act like Jack Bauer. That usually means lots of excessive force.
Q: What if someone gets upset with my Jack Bauer impersonation?
A: Act more upset or use excessive force.
Q: What do I do if I get fired?
A: Remember, Jack Bauer has been fired many times, but he's never stopped working. If necessary, assume a secret identity for the rest of the day (using alliteration is advised) until they need you again.
How to act on Talk Like Jack Bauer Day
-Make sure to yell very simple requests.
-Take a helicopter to work.
-Issue threats that involve family members and/or body parts.
-Always mention that you're running out of time.
-Carry a manpurse. Wear aviators. Don't do drugs.
-Carry around zip ties and a pair of pliers (because you never know).
-Keep a car battery and some jumper cables on your desk.
-Use your cell phone as much as possible. If the battery dies, just pretend it's still working.
-Use at least 5 exclamation points in every email!!!!
-Ask "Who are you working for!?" to as many people as possible.
-Throw out a "Dammit" during the day, just for the hell of it.
-Drink each time you hear a co-worker say "Dammit".
-Make a mistake at work? Blame Nina Myers.
-Request everything be sent to your PDA (works best if you don't have one).
-Accuse co-workers and/or children of being moles.
-Make sure to let your co-workers catch you looking at Google Earth maps of their houses. When they ask why, tell them that you've tracked a terrorist cell to that location.
Samples
Co-worker: How was your weekend?
You: damnit Bob, we don't have time for simple questions.
Co-worker: I just asked about your weekend.
You: Dammit. Who are you working for?
Co-worker: Never mind, forget I asked.
Co-worker: Hey man. Did you already get breakfast?
You: I've killed 3 people today and no I've yet to eat breakfast. Dammit!
Co-worker: Is that a threat?
You: That's not a threat, that's a fact.
Boss: Hey, where are the reports I asked for?
(pull out stapler, move towards boss)
You: I think the question you should be asking is how are you going to read the reports after I staple your eyelids to your desk!
(If a co-worker tries to talk to you while you're using the urinal, finish up, flush, walk over to the sink, wash your hands, and remove a paper towel from the dispenser.)
You: You probably don't think that I can force this towel down your throat. But trust me, I can. All the way. Except I'd hold onto this one little bit at the end. When your stomach starts to digest it, I pull it out. Taking your stomach lining with it. For most people it would take about a week to die. It's very painful. (Reference)
Co-worker: Hey, can you cover for me? I need to run an errand.
You: Let's get one thing straight: the only reason you're still conscious is that I don't want to do your work for you.
Finally, remember that for the whole 24 hours of Talk Like Jack Bauer Day, you cannot go to the bathroom or charge a cell phone. Also, it should only take you a maximum of 3 minutes to get anywhere you are going.

true story - for my job I travel to mfg. plants around the world, and I use instant messaging a lot to stay in touch with my team back home. Anytime someone might be looking over our shoulder at our typing (and not liking what we might be saying about backwards-location-of-the-week), one of us mentions that "we're in a flank two position". Many feelings not hurt, many silent laughs...
You`ll also need to call one of your co-workers constantly and ask him/her to do something forbidden:
"I need you to do something for me and I need you to be quiet about this".
And when your coworker tries to refuse, you shout:
"Dammit xxx(name)! I need you to do this for me. I`ll explain everything to boss when this is over"
unfortunately, I work in a library. Unfortunately, I need to keep working there....
We're pirate! We don't sue. We pillage.
But even pirates need to set up a perimeter from time to time, so Cap'n Slappy and I are completely down with this.
Or,should I say, "We don't have time for lawyers!!! Just upload the booty to my pda!!!! And don't tell anyone you've doneit!!"
About the image: yes. the main interest of any person is his/her children
