I guess there's a pretty big college football game this weekend. As a fan of the pittifully hapless Michigan State Spartans, I couldn't be less interested in the U of M vs. Ohio State game. Ok, to be honest, I care a little - but that's only because I've endured years of Spartan shame...always second best. Spartan fans feel a little like Tommy Smothers of Smothers brothers fame whose familiar phrase pretty much sums up the Spartan neglect - "mom always liked you best!" She probably liked U of M best too. Maybe you've seen the reports that people on eBay are bidding up to $9000 to get their mits on the new Playstation 3. The new game systems retail for around $600, but the demand to be one of the first to play it is driving prices beyond the bounds of reason. $600! My wife would KILL me! In protest, I dug out my Playstation 1 yesterday and played NASCAR 98. If you're like me, you've had November 17, 2006 circled on your calendar for months in anticipation of the new James Bond film. I've been a huge Bond fan for years and own almost all of the films on VHS or DVD. Daniel Craig is bond actor # 6. Fourty some years ago Sean Connery introduced us to 007. What if Connery were still our beloved Bond? The idea does have its upsides - - like the sponsorship opportunities a geriatric James could provide. Imagine 007 endorsing an anti-itch cream - Bond, Gold Bond. Or possibly the denture adhesive - Bond, Sea Bond.
