The Terminator's annoying little brother
Nov. 20th, 2006 11:53 pmI love the sound of empty snail shells being blown across the terracotta tiles near my back door, a tinkling, rattling sound, and the look of them, too, fading from black and brown to blueish-white. What happens to the snails though? Do they just wither up when they die?

The Odd Spot in today's paper was about a man who has changed his name to James Bond, which... well, it's not my cup of tea, but, okay, whatever floats his boat. Where he lost me is that his middle name is a list of all the Bond films. "I always wanted to be James Bond and now I am," he said. "It's the ultimate fantasy". Hmm.
Granted, I'm not a James Bond fan at all, but I can't say the character has ever struck me as the sort of person who would put a list of film titles in his name. "The name's Bond, James Dr No Goldeneye Casino Royale Bond" isn't really the stuff of legend, is it?
The new Mr Bond reminds me of another man I read about a few years ago, who had the remote control for his garage door implanted into his arm and insisted he was a cyborg. Tragic.
