I am trying to calculate the odds of a liberal website with ~4000 members having a near Olympian fencer (Nads) and an instructor that teaches fencing.  It wobbles the mind.

Jeffery Deaver tried that in "Carte Blanche", the last James Bond book.  It sucked.

I have all of the Fleming and Gardner books, the Kingsley Amis one, and almost all of the Raymond Benson James Bond books.

Jeffery Deaver? When I saw he was taking over the franchise, I thought WTF? Don't know if I want to read "Carte Blanche" now.

You need an Eric van Lustbader, Jim DeFelice, or better yet Ted Bell to write those books.

Maybe the fencing scene from "Die Another Day" was his inspiration for it, though.

And I vaguely remember something about TiT's world-class Norwegian bikini downhill skiing team girlfriend. Wasn't she also a fencer?

I'm a master fencer. Never tried out for the Olympics, though.

By the way, I have never tried smoking.  I know a lot of people here do but I personally think it is gross.  If any of you men want to date me if our spouses leave us, you better stop smoking.  :p

Does the occasional cigar count?  :bawl:

52. I'm jumping back to the cleaning idea

Show a firefight, but show in real time how long it takes to clean the weapon after.

You know, even TominTib was over there, reminding them about box office returns.  These movies are expected to, you know, earn a profit for the investors.  You can make a movie showing granny knitting a sweater, but is anyone going to pay $15 to see it?

Deaver's Bond is politically correct, sensitive, doesn't smoke, doesn't kill (flesh wounds), no martini. He's not James Bond, he's James Bland.
 I used to love Deaver's books, but he's let his political views override his plots now.
