It’s Friday, May 9, otherwise known as JBAD!
-
- May
- 9
JBAD, of course, is Jack Bauer Appreciation Day, observed on the ninth day of May every year, even when our beloved, and beleaguered, Jack Bauer is not on the air.
Who declared it?
Why, Blogs4Bauer, of course, which is the (unofficially officially unofficial) arbiter of all things 24. And Jack Bauer. And Kim Bauer.
Anyway, the rules are simple:
• Say “Dammit!” at the end of every sentence.
• Keep insisting there’s no time to finish even the simplest of tasks.
• Commandeer a vehicle (and if the cops stop you, explain that you’re commandeering, not stealing it, natch).
• Shoot someone in the knee.
• Give someone your word and keep it. Unless your president needs you to abrogate it.
• Whisper everything. Or shout. Alternating, if at all possible. Keeps people on their toes.
• Take out the mole in your office. And by take out, we mean “kill.”
Add your suggestions for other rules below.

How could I have missed this day after being a 24 fan for all these years? Awesome, I shall abide by rule #1, since I use ‘Dammit’ almost as much as Jack anyway.
Never have to go to the bathroom.
Never get thirsty or hungry or tired.
Always get great cellphone service, even if you’re in a tunnel 2 miles below ground.
Always take 10 minutes to drive somewhere that would take a “regular” person 30 minutes to get to.
Recover from a severe beating and return to full function within 15 minutes.
Never end a phone conversation with Chloe without saying, “Damn it, Chloe, we’re running out of time!”
