The old pizza trick

I really can't believe that the guy who was holding schoolchildren hostage in Spain actually fell for the old trick of a policeman pretending to be a pizza delivery boy. I would have thought anyone who watches action films should know that if the doorbell rings and you hear a cheery voice saying "Domino's Pizza!", shoot through the door.

The other thing in the news that tickled me was anti-smoking campaigners protesting about Die Another Day because James Bond smokes a cigar when he's in Cuba. Apart from the fact that even a confirmed non-smoker would probably try a few puffs on a cigar if visiting Cuba, we are talking about a man whose favourite pastimes are drinking martinis, shooting people, reckless driving and unsafe sex with any woman who comes across his path. And they're worried about his cigar smoking?

Incidentally, I once had a genuine, top-of-the-range Cuban cigar, courtesy of the Cuban embassy. It was divine.

I saw "MacHomer" at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest two years ago -- a comedian from Canada doing a stripped-down version of the Scottish play with Simpsons character voices. My favorite part was when MacHomer said "Is this a dagger I see before me...or a PIZZA?"

Oh God, that made me really, really want a pizza, and it's too late for deliveries!

But I foiled you revil schemes - I found some sucuk (Turkish spicy sausage) in the fridge. Mmmm, happy carnivore!
