Okay, now You must know about Frida Kahlo, as well. Also Van Gogh.

gmku · 12.12.2006, 05:03 PM

I'm an educated man. That part's taken care of.

I don't know French, though.

SynthethicalY · 12.12.2006, 05:03 PM

Well, learn. Go to a community college, and take french classes.

Speaking of Bond, how is it he wears such nice things when an MI-6 agent surely would get little better than civil servant salary? And certainly the U.K. can't afford that for every one of its agents, can it?

Ooh, the veneer is beginning to crumble...

jon boy · 12.12.2006, 05:06 PM

if i want to appear sophisticated i tend not to have my accent as much.

SynthethicalY · 12.12.2006, 05:07 PM

But he is James bond, the most elite Spy. I think the new bond is good. Also I just started getting into Andy Warhol.

gmku · 12.12.2006, 05:07 PM

It would also help not to mispronounce the word "not" as "bnot." And if you mis-type it, edit it as soon as it's brought to your attention.

Casino Royale is by far the best Bond movie. It's not gimmicky. It's just a great "spy on the edge" mystery thriller.

SynthethicalY · 12.12.2006, 05:09 PM

how can you misprounounce that word.

luxinterior · 12.12.2006, 05:11 PM

Use a cane, even if you aren't crippled.

If you don't know how to properly use a cane, consult the Nine Inch Nails music video for "The Perfect Drug." I'm pretty sure there's a cane in that one, and it kinda makes me laugh a lot.

No, that will just make you sound like a pompous dick. There is quite a difference.

Hip Priest · 12.12.2006, 06:54 PM

Has anyone mentioned cravats yet? Cravats are essential.

gmku · 12.12.2006, 07:22 PM

I don't even know what the hell cravats are.

Make a speech about baseball, and the way teamwork affects it, then club a cigar-smoking man to death with a bat. Try to keep the pinky high up.

They have been doing this on Saturday Night Live a lot recently. When Mia Rudolph sang the National Anthem (it was very exaggerated), she said
"Buh-night" as in "came through the buh-night".
