J.B.
Who here watches 24? It's a TV show starring Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer, a federal agent working for the counter terrorist unit. It seems one day every year and a half Jack has to live a hell 24 hour where the nation's fate is thrown off balance by Arabs, and Russian extremists, and Colombian drug dealers etc... He's a sharp shooter, a quick thinker, definitely a risk taker and wow is he fast, he moves around LA at least 50 times in a span of 1 hr. He can go undercover, get arrested, hostaged, killed, and get back up without trouble.
Seeing these feats of his, I'm reminded of James Bond (Ian Fleming's 007) and Jason Bourne (Robert Ludlum's character from the Bourne Trilogy fame). The other JBs so to speak.
Who would you rather be like? Jason Bourne? Who has a safety deposit box full of money and six passports and a gun? Who has a bank account number in their hip? Who can run flat out for a half mile before his hands start shaking? He's a sharp shooter, great instincts and is in excellent shape.
How about the perennial playboy? "Bond, James Bond." Who has the coolest gadgets in the world. All the sexiest ladies lining up. Even the treacherous vixens have sex with him before they turn him over. Now who wouldn't want to be that?
I don't know, I guess I'd have to mull this over a glass of my other JB... Jim Beam whiskey.
I love 24!
It's one of my favorite shows... just finished season 4 on DVD last month.
About your Jack Bauer comparisons... Jason Bourne yes, James Bond no. Unlike Bond, agent Bauer has absolutely no sense of humor. He's serious and intense all the time. All the time.
As some forum posters on tvgasm.com noted awhile back, Jack Bauer has this patented speech pattern that makes him so cool: hoarse whisper followed by intense shout.
You can try it the next time you order food at McDonald's. Hoarse whisper: "Give me a Big Mac and large fries..." Then, intense shout: "NOW!!"
Try it, it's cool.
Cold and precise
Yes... that's him alright.. cold, precise, ruthless.. the man I want to be doing this type of job for me. I wonder when Jack becomes president though hehe...
Jack Bauer as president?
That will never happen.
Maybe you're confusing him with Tom Clancey's Jack Ryan :-P
Hmm...
The actor who plays Jack Bauer also played the killer in the movie Phone Booth. If you want to have his voice, smoke a lot of cigarettes!
So
you're the next Jack Bauer?
I might...
I can develop the voice and I'm always angry... The only thing I need to work on is my ability to rise from the dead. I'm currently having trouble avoiding death...
Hmm
Rising from the dead is hard to do. I've heard that being the son of God helps.
Jack Bauer
is Jesus Christ?
Jack Bauer is cooler than Jesus Christ
He rose from the dead twice!
If that's the case
He must be both Jesus Christ and the Devil!
How about having a comment from someone who's not a chicken?
It's the first time that I've "seen" catinamosh. What's a mosh?
"Catinamosh" is an anagram
for "a Macintosh" :-P What a geek, eh?
And what about
catina?
He just loves to smoke to me :)
Dodge loves to smoke too
He prefers weed though.
Catina
...and...nicotina. Yay!
Hmm
What have you been smoking? :-P
What?
It rhymes :)
Nothing rhymes with "orange"
Yay! Randomness.
If you don't take "rhymes" too strictly
"Porridge" rhymes with "orange". Yay, food!
Tyranids may look unpleasant, but believe me, you don't want to let them out of your sight | http://carnifex.blog.com
Not strictly?
That's... totally un-strict :-P
That's...
...totally usual for poetry in languages, which use more than one or two syllables for a word :-)

How strange
"strange" rhymes with orange.
Ah damn
I was going to say that. Now I'll have to think of another word.
Er, no
It doesn't. The A in "strange" is pronounced differently than the one in "orange" :-P
What?
You're an expert now?
Hey, I don't have to be an expert
to know how to say "strange" and "orange" :-P
Say it to me next time
Maybe you're not saying it right :-P They rhyme.
Really?
Strange is pronounced "streynj" and orange is pronounced "orinj" ;-)

That's right
Although 'är(-&)nj is more popular in this part of the world.
What?
I agree with Kitty.
Us girls should stick together
Yay
Oh great, girl power
Oh well, I guess you can say "orange" however you want. Still doesn't make it right though :-P
If an orange is strange and deranged
It might as well kick ass... I'll then rename it Juice: Borange! =Þ
Good lord
Enough with the JBs already.
Philos rocks!
I probably don't know how to rhyme. Hmm.
Depends on which part of the world
We're not talking about technicals :P
Hehe... I always thought his name meant
That he was as angry as a cat in a mosh.
Well, I guess that works too
You'll have to ask him about it.
