Almost Famous

Jack Bauer, one of my cohorts at Blogs4Bauer entered a new submission into the Urban Dictionary. If you have read any of our Liveblogs, you’ll think this is a riot:
At the end of last night’s episode, just before Ernie Anastos previewed what would be on the 10pm news, The Jack Sack helped coin a new word that will become part of 24 lexicon forever.
In honor of his (and Wyatt’s) contribution, I’ve submitted “Wyattastic” to Urban Dictionary where millions of people looking for crude sexual innuendo will instead be taught about Wyatt’s penchant for liveblogging episodes of 24 where even Jack Bauer looks bored.
The submission has been approved and I am honored by it. It is also damned funny, in my opinion. Please stop by B4B and use the term in a sentence.

It helped that I signed up as an editor and voted to approve the entry.
Jack – Well yeah, when you put it that way . . .
I’d say that beats “snarcasm” out of the water.
They have been Wyattized! Wyattastic is a Wyattism. A quote of such a usage would be a Wyatt-tation and the answer would be a Wyattonce. The possibilities are endless and congrad’s.
And to think I can now tell people, “Oh yeah, I knew Wyatt way back in the day!”.
Congrats on your, uh, iconism…
RT – Although I still like snarkasm. It defines me.
Jon – Thanks. The credit goes to The Jack Sack, however. He coined the phrase.
JimmyB – Thanks. It’s a little weird, but cool at the same time.
I’d really like to have a Wyattastic day tomorrow.
[...] for this linguistic gem is blogs.4bauer.com contributor and Support Your Local Gunfighter blogger Wyatt Earp. He has a long and well documented history of liveblogging only the most sucktastic episodes of 24. [...]
Code Monkey – If anyone needs a Wyattastic day at work, it’s you.
That’s awesome! Ah, to contribute to Western Culture… well done, B4B team!
TJS – Thanks for coining the phrase. I never thought I’d be saying that, since it usually means an episode is crapola.
Oh, I’m just trying to squeeze whatever fun is left out of “24″- even if an episode stinks, we have our merry band of B4Bers to console one another with humor and mockery.
Hopefully billionaire Jimmy James will improve things next week. Technically, the red Swingline stapler dude is a terrorist… ugh, we’re reaching here.
TJS – Well, Milton did threaten to burn down the building . . .
