About a month ago we all heard the news that Jack, err, Kiefer Sutherland went to jail for being a nimrod and getting a DUI charge. The whole situation struck me as funny somehow, but only from the angle that it’s like trying to put Jack Bauer into jail.
So inspiration struck and I ended up writing a satire piece on the whole thing, something that made some people laugh I heard and also that I’m very proud of.
Little did I know that not only was I going to get a big head from the good things my readers told me, but I ended up gaining something else from it.
The Cap’n, who is one of my most devoted and faithful readers, and who also happens to be a cousin of mine, gave me a surprise gift at Christmas this year that I was in no way expecting.
Enter the Jack Bauer “24 Series 2” edition of a McFarlane figurine.
You can see it in the photo above and the one to the right. Not only is he holding a frakking gun and looking bad ass, but he’s kicking down a stinking door!
The thing looks awesome and mere words can’t describe how great it is.
The moral of the story is this: Blog about stuff, get free stuff.
All it took was Keifer going to jail and Mike wins!
I’m just hoping that David Duchovney or Gillian Anderson get into trouble this year, because it would be nice to add the Mulder and Scully figurine to my suddenly growing collection.
(Thanks Cap’n)
It looks like Jack is busting out of the final prison door! Thanks for all the great writing!
Yeah, me too. I would love for my house to be full of pop-culture figures!
Reference: Steve Carell in the 40 Year Old Virgin. It does wonders for your …. I think I will leave it at that.
It would be funnier if he was bending the iron bars from his jail cell with one hand while holding a beer in the other, but that one is pretty cool too.
The Trousered Ape’s last blog post..GCU Update and Re-cap - 2007
Dang it, i forgot to include the main image for this, the frontpage photo…argh.
Will have to fix it later.
Hey, I blog about stuff too! Yet, I get nothing. Hmmm…. I don’t even think my family reads my blog… I should have brought that up at Christmas.
Cap’ns log… send the Devils breakfast x-mas gift to Jason. Everyone needs a pack of Rain gum! (you’ll have to check out Apes log, what he had for breakfast…)
That’s right - Rain is yummy and long lasting.
A mini-Jack Bauer! Does your home already feel safer from terrorists?
D.L. White’s last blog post..All About Alice
Very much so!
BTW, I added the close-up of Jack’s face
