What would James do?
James Bond is very important around here. He is one of the few things we can always agree on; even if he is a sexist bastard we marvel at his gumption and resourcefulness. We can't be troubled by certain things James does; I took a class on these films for graduate level credits (it was the only way to get my student loan, if you can believe that) and I still can't muster even a genuine distaste for him, that jerk.
Martin on the other hand, can't be bothered about James bad personality traits or his archaic beliefs. Martin is this type of person: He never bought any of those plastic bracelets to raise a dollar for anything, especially not the yellow one for testicular cancer. However, people thought he ought to be reminded of certain things so in the course of a few weeks he acquired two. Instead of wearing a big yellow rubberband in hope that we might one day find a cure for something, he has these two black things that look more like belts from the engine on a Barbie corvette. I find them whenever I try to straighten up his desk to look for the bills we have to pay: one has a little heart on it, right between "I" and "PIRATES." The other must have been left in the sun because it was cracked when he brought it home, says: REVENGE. It is plain to see what we worry about.
It gets a little confusing though, given certain scripture about "vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord" somehow intersecting with the idea behind those old WWJD bracelets that we might attempt to do exactly what Jesus did, VENGEANCE is really something we could consider wearing around, or trying to cure... depending on your theology, if the bracelet wasn't cracked and ready to break.
But on a less muddled line of thought: Martin says this whale is very funny.
I say Bill Murray would have made one hell of a Bond.
