I always thought it deeply peculiar that Gardner's Bond drove a Saab 900 Turbo in the 1980s. Saab also did a tie-in promotion. Surely Gardner could have given the poor bastard a Jaguar, though. Or something sporty like a Mazda.
That would have worked out real well in Icebreaker...
Did you think the VP70 or the ASP 9mm was too utilitarian? Should Gardner have given Bond a pimp gun?
...james bond has never driven a saab in any of the films nor have any other supporting characters - in fact, short of some obscure background traffic cameo which i've yet to identify, the *only* appearance of a saab in the body of 007 canon were a handful of early-nineties novels...
That 900 Turbo was badass, particularly in Icebreaker.
It was a few years back, maybe he remembers it wrong and his dad did special effects for the car in the book.:)
I'm 6'2" with size 11 feet, and I can comfortably sit inside my 1979 Triumph Spitfire roadster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_Spitfire). Cars don't come much smaller than this...!
How many of you 6'2" tall, size 11-12 feet guys can we fit into a VW Bug? I think I've seen it done at the circus.
Its about time the Australian government realized that games are not just for kids anymore.
Any changes to the film and literature classification system must be approved unanimously by the Attorney-Generals.
The plural of Attorney General is Attorneys General. They are Attorneys, not Generals. Apparently this is a throwback to the French form, whereby the adjective follows the noun frequently. General modifies Attorney, indicating what kind of Attorney they are.
I guess that makes me the Police Language...
I don't remember that. What happened in Germany in 1959?
Tom Dooley, by the Kingston Trio, was the number one hit in Germany for 12 weeks! I thought everyone knew this. It was in all the papers at the time...
Relatively few humans are crazy enough to swim near the Golden Gates in the first place.
Maybe not directly under the Golden Gate, but you don't have to go very far to still be in sight of the bridge and find a beach and/or a place where people surf.
It's not like a shark can't travel distance or anything. So, maybe a 5 minute cruise for a shark, and there's people there.
I think what's more relevant here is that there's a lot of sharks in very close proximity to where people actually go. A lot more sharks (and a lot more often) than people had previously realized.
Cheers
Try searching YouTube for "surfing Fort Point."
I've seen people surfing directly under the Golden Gate (singular, for the benefit of the GP) for decades. And as the parent points out, there are several beaches very close to the mouth of the Gate. Additionally, the summary mentioned Great Whites coming east of the Golden Gate Bridge. That's inside the bay, right where those surfers and the aforementioned beaches are located.
and they were planning on doing it at maybe a 1/20th of the budget of a Toy Story movie
But how many Libraries if Congress would it have been?
Toy Story 2 Budget = $90,000,000 - 20% of which is $18,000,000
2009 VW Bug = $18,290
20% of Toy Story 2 movie budget = 984 VW Beetles
There are 1728 VW Bugs in 1 Library of Congress
By my calculations, that would be 0.569444444 Libraries of Congress
This is using Pascal's Wager as an argument to continue black budget funding. There have been several thwarted attacks like the liquid bomb plot in the UK, and these haven't been causing full blown panic. Do you think there will ever be another shoebomber, or did the very public incapacitation of John Walker Lindh by concerned, untrained passengers suddenly furnish a very real deterrent on any future flight?
John Walker Lindh was the "American Taliban," Richard Colvin Reid was the "Shoe Bomber."
I prefer Johnnie Walker Gold, Green or Blue, personally...
What about the side of the road when there is no footpath?
The vehicle code says you walk on the shoulder facing traffic if there is no foot path/sidewalk. Vehicles don't sneak up on you quite so much when they are not coming from behind you...
Perfect. 98 MP is equivalent to 68 square inches at 1200 DPI. Finally, a pixel precise page preview for a 7.5"x9" content region. But I think you'd want this display oriented in portrait mode.
That thing is going to be a bitch to rotate.

Kodak, makers of the Apple QuickTake 100 and 150 are suing Apple...good thing the QuickTake didn't have a preview mode! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_QuickTake

their editorial board is a bunch of slackers from the likes of Georgeton, (...) Vancerbilt, Nortwestern, UC, etc.

And then do what?!
Thanks for chuckle with my morning tea!

You would encounter the same problem if Ford had re-badged the Mazda RX-8 as a "Mustang".
How about if they had rebadged a Ford as a Jaguar? Oh wait...

There is no evidence that santa clause do not exist either. Everyone grown-up person will agree it a myth tho.
I believe you meant Sanity Claus. ;)
You know it could have been "free speech zones" at DEMOCRAT gatherings too:

Did you see this word in the post you are referring to - Republicrat???
I'm thinking the GP was referring to both (very similar) parties.
I don't know what is Where was this response when the 'bush monkey' pictures were all the rage? Oh, that's right, he's white.
And a monkey!

You mean Flavor Aid, don't you?

I imagine if you tried to sell the modified GM vehicle, GM would come after you with their lawyers.
Carroll Shelby, Mopar, and Magnuson Moss think you're full of crap.

Put in a boarder context
Snow or surf?
A car analogy would work better...
