Since 2007 the first Monday of the new season of 24 has always been known worldwide as Talk Like Jack Bauer Day. Despite the fact that there’s not technically a new season of 24 on Monday, we are going to continue the tradition anyway. Dammit, it was supposed to be the first Monday of 24 and we’re not going to start a Talk Like Sarah Connor Day…even though it would be hard to distinguish the two.
That brings us to an interesting question. What would the difference be between Talk Like Jack Bauer Day and Talk Like Sarah Connor Day? You know, besides having to feather your hair and walk around in acid-washed jeans like Sarah Connor. Here’s how you would need to handle yourself in various situations on both TLJBD and TLSCD:
Co-worker: Hey man. Did you already get breakfast?
Jack Bauer: I killed 3 terrorists, defused a bomb, and saved a kitten. Does it sound like I’ve had time to eat breakfast yet, Dammit?
Sarah Connor: Do you think I’m stupid? The robots are coming to kill us all and you want me to grab an Egg McMuffin?
Boss: Hey, where are the reports I asked for?
Jack Bauer: (pull out stapler, move towards boss) I think the question you should be asking yourself is how are you going to read the reports after I staple your eyelids to the desk!
Sarah Connor: 3 billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997! All because you asked for a report….a report with pie charts!
Boss: Your actions and comments today have led to this, you’re fired!
Jack Bauer: Let’s just get one thing straight, I don’t work for you any more.
Sarah Connor: No, you’re terminated, sucker!
