Comedian Quotes, and other funny shit.

Funny shit:
From Robin Williams: Live on Broadway:
"This is brought to you by HBO, which is a subsidiary of Time Warner, also owned by America Online. You’ve got mail! I hope you don’t have stocks."
"If you go to Neverland, it says ‘You must be this high to ride Michael.’"
(On messing up a line)
"I’m sorry. My lips just went, ‘What the fuck did you just say?’ A couple of dyslexic people went ‘Thank you, Robin. Thank you. We were worried about the Pledge of Allegiance. We were going to say, One Nation Under Dog. It’s okay.’ I know people are going, ‘I’ve got a cure for this. It’s one nation under Canada, above Mexico.’ Yes! Yeah, but then you have to do the whole other anthems, like ‘Someone bless America.’ An instead on the dollar bill, instead of In God We Trust, In Gates We Trust! ‘Mr. Gates, when did you realize that you were creating a monopoly?’ ‘Monopoly’s just a game, senator. I’m trying to control the fucking world! Don’t you see? Windows Millennium? Windows Millennium ME. It’s all leading to information technology. Soon it’ll be total information technology. TIT. And when you’re sucking on the TIT, I have you by the motherboard!’"
"These are not like the tits in Vegas, where even God goes, ‘I didn’t make those.’"
"Everybody’s worried about people playing baseball on steroids. I’m going, really? Here’s one quick way you tell. Two things happen on steroids. Your balls shrink and your head grows. So if someone steps up to the plate with a Mardi Gras head and raisonettes, you’re out!"
"The French don’t have a baseball team! If they did, there would only be left field, and no one would be safe."
"Canada is like a loft apartment over a really great party, you know?"
"An arab in Utah is like an albino at the apollo. You would notice!"
"For those playing the home game, this is called a Prince Albert. And I’m sure that was his last wish. I’m sure Albert said, ‘Victoria, I’m dying. I want you to name a museum, a performance hall, and a bolt through the cock after me."
"You’re 50! And can they make a drug to help you through all of that, to keep all of your organs intact until your golden years? No. Can they make a drug to give you mental clarity to your golden time? No. They’ve got a drug to make you harder than Chinese algebra!"

There's a guy who lives in Ohio. One morning, he hears a voice in his head. The voice says, "Quit your job, sell your house, take all your money, and go to Las Vegas."
He ignores the voice.
Later in the day, he hears the voice again. "Quit your job, sell your house, take all your money, and go to Las Vegas."
Again, he ignores the voice.
Soon he hears the voice every minute of the day. "Quit your job, seel your house, take all your money, and go to Las Vegas."
He can't take it anymore. He believes the voice. He quits his job, sells his house, takes all his money, and flies to Las Vegas. As soon as he steps off the plane, the voice says, "Go to Caesar's Palace."
He goes to Caesar's Palace.
The voice says, "Make your way to the roulette table."
He goes to the roulette table.
The voice says, "Put all your money on red 23."
He puts all his money on red 23.
The dealer spins the wheel. It comes up black 17.
The voice says, "Fuck." ----------------------------------------------------------------------
A man runs into a bar and says to the bartender, "Give me twenty shots of your best single-malt scotch, quick!"
The bartender pours the shots, and the man drinks them down, one at a time, as fast as he can.
The bartender says, "Wow. I never saw anybody drink that fast."
The man says, "Well, you'd drink that fast if you had what I have."
The bartender says, "Oh my God. What is it? What do you have?"
The man says, "Fifty cents." ----------------------------------------------------------------------
A pilot gets on the loudspeaker shortly after takeoff and says to the passengers, "Folks, welcome aboard flight seven-eighty-nine to Cleaveland. We'll be flying at thirty-five thousand feet, and expect to land in an hour and a half. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight."
He forgets to turn his microphone off, and turns to his copilot, yawns, and says, "Why don't you take over for a while? I'm gonna take me a big healthy shit, and then I'm gonna go fuck the brains out of that pretty blonde flight attendant working back in coach."
His announcement goes over the whole plane. The pretty blonde flight attendent back in coach hears it and exclaims, "Oh my God!" and starts running up toward the cockpit.
An old lady sitting in one of the aisle seats stops her and says, "Relax, honey. He's gotta take a shit first." ----------------------------------------------------------------------
A guy gets put into a nursing home by his son. He doesn't know if he's going to like it at first, but he decides to give it a shot for his son's sake.
The first morning, he wakes up with a hard-on. Out of nowhere, a beautiful nurse walks in, kneels down, and blows him without saying a word.
The guy gets on the phone to his son and says, "Son! I love this place! Thank you so much for putting me in this nursing home!"
The son says, "Wow, Pop. You sound really happy. What happened?"
The old man says, "You won't believe it. I woke up this morning with a hard-on, and the most beautiful nurse I've ever seen in my life came into my room and blew me. Didn't say a word. Just blew me."
"Well, that sounds great, Dad. Congratulations."
"Well, thank you, son," the old man says, and hangs up the phone.
Later that day, the old man is walking down the hall in his walker. He slips and falls and can't get up. A big hillbilly orderly comes up to him, rips his pants down, fucks him up the ass, and leaves him lying there in a heap.
The old man crawls to a phone and calls his son. "You gotta get me out of here, son, this place is nuts!"
"What happened, Pop? You sound terrible!" says the son.
"Well, I was walking with my walker and I feel down and couldn't get up. Then this big hillbilly orderly came by, ripped my pants down, and fucked me up the ass!"
"Well, you know, Dad," says the son, "You got a blow job this morning. You gotta take the good with the bad..."
"No, you don't understand, son!" exclaims the old man. "I only get a hard-on once a month! I fall down three, four times a day!"

Ugg.

I'm beginning to think there's something seriously wrong with me. Lately...I don't know. One day, I can be perfectly happy and content--not even pissed off at all. The next, I'm depressed and moody, and very angry. I don't understand it. It's starting to drive me insane. I can't just have a couple of days of peace.
Maybe I'm just burned out. I'm taking a day off work soon. Gotta relax. Gotta...concentrate. I don't know!
Right now, I'm seriously pissed because of homework. I know that much. I mean, last night I took a Spanish class, and I was doing GREAT! I mean, I actually was able to follow the class. This morning, I got down to do my homework, and I COULDN'T REMEMBER A GOD DAMN THING!! This is really starting to piss me off, because if I don't pass this fucking class, I'm going to have to take it over, and there is no way in hell I'm doing it!!

AARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHH!

The origins of my names

JackBauer24. Hmmph. I've been known as JackBauer24 online so long now, that it's a part of my identity. I AM JackBauer24 of the internet, just as much as I AM Matt _____ of Detroit, Michigan. To my knowledge, I am the original JackBauer24. I don't know that anyone else had the name before me; I got it February 9, 2002. Y'See, the show 24 premiered in November of 2001, but the official FOX forum (http://forums.prospero.com/fox24/start) opened in July of that year. Even then, months before the show began, there were rabid fans waiting for that first ticking clock. I was a fan of the show from the very beginning, and during my Christmas break, I searched for 24 websites online. I found the official FOX site, and I found the link to their forum. I joined that February, and became JACKBAUER24. If you run a search online for JackBauer24, some of the listings are actually me, but not all. There's some imitator running around. Some jackass even got the name jackbauer24@aol.com, lucky bastard. But I am the original, the one and only, JackBauer24. But I'm also under many other names, so here's some of the forums and the names you can find me as.

At the Prospero and Delphi forums, I'm primarily in the Fox 24 and Fox forums, and the Sarchasm on Delphi, but I go by many names.
  • JackBauer24
  • GL24 (Short for GreenLightsaber24; I was known as GrnLightSbr for about two years, before I became JB24)
  • JeffBauer24 (Before one of the season premieres, there was a commercial for Ford, which starred a Jeff Bauer. I just couldn't resist!)
  • TheSlurpee1
  • Faramier (I tried to spell Faramir, after the LOTR character, but I typoed.

I think I might even have another name there, but I do not remember.

At the JediCouncil forums, at TheForce.Net, I'm JackBauer24 and GreenLightsaber24.

At Pogo.com, I'm MikeNovick24 and JackBauer2417.

At Comedy Central, I'm JackBauer24

At the Howard Stern Boards, I'm JackBauer24.

At the E-Z Boards, I'm GreenLightsaber24

I'm sure I've got others, but those are all that I remember.

Back to work. I'm booking on episode 4; It was the first episode that I had even marginally close to real time, and it is a lot easier to outline now. It's actually a lot of fun outlining, too; it's got some of my favorite scenes of the series on it.
Struggling through episode 14. I'm going to finish it, dammit.

Thursday

I feel like shit. More on that later.

(24AUN) Preview #3

For this preview, instead of giving a commercial, or a full scene from the show, I'll just give you some tantalizing tidbits about the series.

  • It will be in script form, not novel form, for various reasons including the fact that I believe that it would come closer to the feel of the tv show than if I had written it as a novel.
  • It will be long. Really long. MY-GOD-WHY-AM-I-READING-ALL-THIS? LONG.
  • When I tell people about this, they assume that Jack would kill Nina without that flak jacket. In fact, that's how I first approached this project. But things are not always what they seem, and even the opening minutes of the show will turn out a little different than everyone expects
  • The show begins with the 7-8am hour, but features a short prologue (Previously, on 24...) that will set the story up.
  • MINOR SPOILER: Nina will survive, and have a role in this season.
  • The roles of Teri, Kim, Alberta Green, and a few other characters from the series have been diminished, while the roles of characters like Tony, Mason, and Chappelle have been increased.
  • Palmer features surprisingly little in this season. I decided that I felt that his storyline was a little too slow to attempt to rewrite, so I wrote around it. For the most part, it will remain the same as in the first season.
  • People who were supposed to die live, and people who were supposed to live die.
  • Of course, the Drazens return, but I've also created a new bad guy who will have a larger role late in the season. This character has a history with Nikola, who is Slavic, I believe, and if you know your WWII-era history, you'll be able to guess a bit about the new character.
  • I have created several new characters for this show, and what's more, I cast them. I will have a cast list at the end of each episode, and choose who I would like to see play each role.
  • Nikola's role in the season has changed slightly, although, he does return.
  • The interesting thing is that some of the earliest changes of the show, while noticible, do not really change the entire series. In other words, the damages done by them can be fixed relatively easily to revert the series back to its normal state, but there comes a point in one of the early episodes, which I call the "point of no return." Let me just say that one of the key characters of the series dies and leave it at that.
  • Explosions, stabbings, gunshots, fistfights, snipers...and that's just the morning!

The clock is going to begin ticking again....

Even if it kills me.

Okay, here's my newest status update.

Working on the outline for episode 14. About half done.
Working on the final outline for episode 4. Just started.

Mild writer's block.

Legitamit insanity.

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

Sorry.

Oh, by the way, check out my real blog (the one about me, and not the scripts) at http://www.jb24.blogspot.com It's....odd.

I'll post later in the week with a new preview.

Just a quick update this time. Got started on episode 14's outline today. Didn't feel like waiting until I watched the episodes again. It worked out okay, though. I'm booking on it--wrote 20 minutes already, and that's good for me for 1 day's work. I just gotta get this done!

Welcome

Hey, welcome to my blog. This is my OFFICIAL blog--the one where I will post just about whatever the hell I want to. I have another on this site this is a sort of online journal on a fan fiction series I am writing. If you're interested in it, the web address is:

http://www.jackbauer24.blogspot.com

That's as opposed to the web address for this blog, which is:

http://www.jb24.blogspot.com

Shouldn't be too hard to remember them, but if you do, there are links in my profile.

On this blog: I chose the parchment look because I am a writer--well, at least I think I am. 24: Altered Universe, the subject of my other blog, has been my big writing project for almost a year now, and will probably continue for another.

About me: I'm a male college student from Detroit, Michigan. I work for a library (which isn't as boring as it sounds), and drive over 400 miles a week between work, home, and school. I constantly wonder why I do it, and the answer is that I'm totally insane.

Yep. You heard it here first. I'm completely psycho. I probably should be committed.

Eh, well.

Oh, about some of the stuff I'll probably be talking about here:

Friends: My two closest friends are Kevin and Erik, both great guys I've known since junior high. Kevin's a design student at the Center for Creative Studies, a private college in Detroit, and he works on cars. He's a car nut. This summer, we...well, I'll save that for another post. Then there's Erik. Erik's a student at Specs Howard School for Broadcast Arts, and a fill-in producer for a radio show on WJR 760AM. He's actually the one who turned me on to this website; check out his blog at:

http://www.slbige.blogspot.com

I've actually mentioned Erik before on my other blog; you can dig that up if you feel like it.

Forums: For over two and a half years now, I've been addicted to internet forums. Yep. Granted, some of you are probably from the forums, I still think that you should check them out if you have time. I'll post the links in another post.

Interests: Well, as evidence by my other blog, I'm a HUGE fan of the show 24. HUGE. It returns in January 05 (giddy scream). I'm also a huge fan of the Star Wars series (May 19, baby!), the Lord of the Rings books/movies, and the Matrix series.

Free Time: What do I do with my free time? What free time? Are you fuckin kidding me?

Usually, with the little free time I do have, I watch movies, tv, or generally relax. Yes, I am single, and no, I'm not looking. As cruel as this sounds, I barely have the time to relax on my own. No way I could have time to be with a girlfriend.

Well, that's about it. I'll post some of the stuff I promised later.

(24AUN) Status 10/14

Okay, I got the final outline of episode 3 done, started on episode 4. Still haven't watched the episodes I need to in order to finish the outline for episode 14. Hopefully, I'll get to them tonight or tomorrow during the day.

Still plugging away....

Hey, guys.

I'm sorry it's been so long since I last posted. I've been hit with a massive writer's block, ever since I finished the outline of episode 13. To make matters worse, I've been blocked on my final outline of ep 3 as well.

Today, I was able to break the block on the final outline, and I'm starting to book on ep 3. Hopefully, 4 and 5 will go as smoothly, because beyond that, I already have the outlines (not scripts) for 6-13, so the final outline would be more or less a simple update of the old ones.

As for episode 14's outline, I'm going to go back over the next few days and watch some of the later episodes of season 1, so I can see if I can jog my mind back into motion.

With luck, I should be able to post a new preview later this week. We'll see how it goes.

Until next time, this is JackBauer24,

I know I said I wasn't going to post today, but what the hell?

Last week, we got tickets to the Detroit Tigers game, and we had an extra one so I invited my best friend Erik. The game was today, and we had a BLAST! It was excellent. The Tigers lost, of course, but we still had a lot of fun. He works in radio--he's the fill-in producer for 760am (WJR) here in Detroit, and he's a really great guy. I've known him since we were in junior high, and he really is one of the coolest people I know. As if to prove it, today something excellent happened. We were talking about radio, and I was talking about how I'm such a big fan of Live97.1fm (since I drive so much now, it's my main pasttime), and he--being the nixe guy he is--offered to give me his Live971 jacket that he won through school. He can't wear it because it's too small, and a conflict of interest (slightly) with his station, so we stopped at his house and he gave it to me. So I just want to say that Erik is a really great guy, a really good friend, and you guys should all check out his blog at www.slbige.blogspot.com. Thanks, man.

On to 24:AU news. Working on the final draft outline of episode 3 today, so maybe I can get it done tonight. We'll see. I'll let you guys know for sure.

Haven't done much work on 24AU in the past few days. I'll probably get back to it on Monday. On a side note, Star Wars fans should check out my other blog, which is a timeline of all Star Wars books (in chronological order). I've been working on that timeline since December 2000, and it's based off the timeline on the now-defunct thechrono.com. Give it a look.

Otherwise, no news. Might be going to the Detroit Tigers game tomorrow--gonna freeze my ass off with the best of them! I'll see you guys Monday.
