Check out this article from Reuters, note the GREAT line at the end (second from the bottom). Man purse is on an adventure today, playing with the Mob. I doubt there will be pictures though. MP also has a new mode of transportation that will be making it a better global citizen, pictures by Wed.

TV (lack thereof) and ManPurse
We have been enjoying our quiet nights without TV. We haven't turned on the TV more than three times since the end of May. Twice to watch a movie and another time to watch the weather Channel (which did turn into the Discovery channel to watch "How it's made". Who knew that was how aluminum foil was made LOL) I'm going to be curious if our electrical bills are reduced due to less electronics running.
Check back soon. Manpurse is going to be going on another adventure soon!
Definition of Manpurse (in part courtesy urbandictionary.com)
Manpurse or Man-purse [man purs]: What Jack Bauer carries on the show 24. It's like a purse, but it is rather manly, hence the name manpurse. Also known as a man bag
Examples:
Oh man, look at that manpurse.
OMG THAT IS JACK BAUER'S MANPURSE
Metrosexuals often use man purses.
Added after we veiwed the comment from Overpriced Designer Man Bag (Thanks for the comment!!):
Question asked in the comments.... Would Jack lose appeal if he carried a Prada man purse?
Perhaps he would lose a little appeal from this Blog's creators for spending close to what it costs to feed a small family for well over a month. Although, it looks durable with many pockets for the medi-interogation kit. As we know Jack needs something that can take a licking and keep on ticking. Perhaps he would be saving money in the long run by purchasing a more expensive bag. Friends of the 24 Blog, we look forward to your comments!

Military personnel LOVE 24
Don't we all. This was on Yahoo! news bites
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/02/19/070219fa_fact_mayer
PS Where is Keifers Kate, we are starting to worry that she is in China looking for the circuit board and Phil. We may have to set up a perimeter so that we can pursue and engage!
Take care all, I really should get back to work here........

Just a quick check in
Well, I am still processing the whole what is Jack going to do now? Is he going to jump? Is Awwdrey going to get better? Do we really care?
Anyway, I found this photo and I think he went to my brother's school of photography (not quite the photo up the nose that my bro ususally takes -- "There is a photo of that on every roll." Don't leave your camera out... you too will have a photo of his nostrils!)
Keep it real!

Memorial Day
*by way of the Barbara Stoler Miller edition of The Bhagavad-Gita"This is the use of memory:
For liberation -- not less of love but expanding
Of love beyond desire, and so liberation
From the future as well as the past."

Season Recap: OK, Now That I've Washed the Dishes...
Now, for the recap.
Dammit = 50, one each for Jack and Ricky, and 48 for members of The 24 Blog
Perimeter = 1
Women Proven to Be Stupid or Evil = 0, unless Chloe has coupled with the Devil, a la Rosemary
Paternity Proven = 0 (including Chloe's baby)
Dead Bauers = None proven (the jury is out on Phil)
Dead Presidents = unknown
Barf Bags Used = 1 ("M" for the tender scene with Jack in a World of Pain)
Silly, Improbable Occurrences (even by 24 standards) = at least 3...Jack leaving Phil alive; Jack on rope ladder, Milo's supposed brother coming to pick up his body
IT Staffers in Hand to Hand = 0...no Kali Eskrima or ju jitsu
28 year old Hotties = 1 (Milo's supposed brother is a stone fox, proof that he'll come back as a bad guy next season. "M" thinks that the bad guys who came for Josh had possibilities.)
Dead Black Men = 0 that we know of
Resurrections = 0
Hair Gel Moments = 1 that we mentioned, although "A" did notice Phil having an issue, but held back ("M" mentioned the Josh messed up Grandpa's Hair)
Times "A" held back = multiple, every time Bauer Spawn whined
Telepathy and Correct Predictions = 2 or more!
Evil Veep Facial Movements = 1 (He smiled and one of his eyes twitched when the corners of his mouth curved up.)
Well gang, we don't have much to say. It was two hours of air and fluff. Nothing really even blew up real good.
("M" disagrees, and thinks that when Jack made a dive for the rope ladder from the exploding oil platform, it was predictable; she was at least pleased that something blew up.)
There were all kinds of last minute loose ends tied up. Karen and BIll exonerated and left to retire to Vermont. (Bill will probably turn the barn into a yoga studio.) Chloe and supposedly Morris are going to be proud parents to spawn of Chloe. ("M" says this might be proof that she is stupid, but I disagree. ) Josh is rescued from Evil Grampa. Cheng, looking a bit like a barbecued chicken, in custody. Evil Veep ready to take a nap seems a bit less evil. Tom has redeemed himself by brokering Karen and Bill's exoneration, and also taken Evil Veep off the hook for conspiracy...
But, loose ends: what about TEYOP? Blonde Toady? Who is Jack's mom? What is up with Milo's brother? Why didn't Curtis' brother come to pick up his body? What about Sandra, Walid, etc. And "M" wants to know where the service for Kumar will be.
What will we do until January?
We had a great time with this, although I have to say that I'll be glad to let go of TV for a while. We had fun with our new friends, and suggest that we come back and give it a try again in January. We've had some thoughts about what we might post during the summer and fall, although probably not terribly often!
"M" and Friends, anything else to add????
Coming soon this summer - More Adventures of Man Purse!

Hmmm.
What is this, and where is it going?
Is he gonna shoot William in the knee or not?
And the Secretary of Defense has no perimeter? No body guards? No guns of his own?

Good Work Nadia, Other Than Losing Milo
Maybe Jack is going back to Oil Field Chick.
Who is William on the phone with? Is that Jack outside the window, maybe kidnapping Awwdrey?
Or the Russians? Nope, it is Jack.
Sigh.

"M" Called It!
And the season ends in one life affirming moment.
Let's not ruin it by saying something stupid. Like anything that the writers might put in your mouths might not be stupid? Good call to say nothing.

Tom, You Wily Fox
Getting your way with the evil Veep when he is too tired to disagree.
And then trading it back for the tape recording.
Hey, how is Blonde Toady doing?

Hey, how is Blonde Toady doing?
Cue the inspiring music
The crisis is over, cue the music for the white house. Oh, the evil Veep needs a nappy!
Hey his face moved A LOT!
Hey his face moved A LOT!
Who knew?!?
I knew that Bill was resiliant but a copter pilot? I'm trying to catch up, but I about lost it when Bill laid out the rope ladder! WOW I guess next we will find out about the spawn. We still have a half hour left. And Phil is so not dead! Come ON
Uncle Jack didn't fall he let go. THe Hubby said that he went surfing instead! Jack thought the waves looked too tasty! AHHhahahahah I've officially lost it. That look Jack gave before he dropped. UGH

They've Got Cheng
But they sholdn't have left Phil there.
Is Jack flying on a cable hanging down from the helicopter? Oh, please.
Now, Jack. Don't answer the phone. Don't answer the phone. Make it like a mantra. (Bill can teach you about mantras.)
And Suvarov believes the Evil Veep? And now a tender moment between the two of them?
