Musings About Irrelevant Things #3

Is it just me or is the first person they cut to at the Oscars ALWAYS Jack Nicholson?

Just more proof of the awesome power of the Jacks.

Things Primetime TV Has Taught Me: Part 1

Jack is the single most badass name anyone can have. I know it sounds all lame and harkens back to the lameass from the Jack and Jill fairy tale but I am not talking about Old Timey Jack, no no, I am talking about the 21st century Jack. Don't believe me? Here's proof:

Jack Bauer. In the span of 24 hours Jack saved the lives of his wife and daughter (the ultimate alpha male move), killed several assassins, threatened to shove a wet towel down the throat of an investment banker. Took out a sniper/mid season boss with a pistol and three bullets, shot his boss in the thigh with a tranquilizer because he did something Jack didn't like, and generally said more badass things than most people do in a year. Then he went on to be more badass on 3 other occassions and is working on a fifth.
Jack Bristow pretty much does all that before breakfast, he has less moral limitations than Bauer and will pretty much kill/maim/torture/blackmail anyone who tries to harm his daughter. Plus he gets bomus points for doing it and being over fifty. Seriously though, you do not want to fuck with Jack Bristow.

Dr. Jack Sheppard. Though not a secret agent Dr. Jack is a doctor, no, a surgeon which is like a doctor but you get to physically decide people's fates daily (sort of like GOD: the Game). Also he has survived being a)thrown from a plane b) living almost 2 months on a tropical island inhabited by wild boars, polar bears, crazy people with guns, sharks, and a swirly cloud of death smoke. Dr. Sheppard's other badass accomplishments: 1)tried to sew up his own back wound shortly after the plane crash and 2) gave a blood tranfusion from himself to Boone using a sea urchin spine as a makeshift needle all the while performing surgery on the man with limited tools and then attempting to amputate Boone's shattered leg by slamming a cargo container door down on it (this may be the simgle most badass course of action ever taken).

Seeing as how TV never lies the evidence must be conclusive: Jack is the most badass name in the universe. That is not to say that anyone named Jack is a complete badass but rather that by being named Jack you have better odds of becoming a badass.

Give your child a fighting chance and name him Jack. Seriously. Do it.
