Bond. Remington Bond.
A
friend used to insist that the James Bond movies starring Remington
Steele weren't as horrible as I knew they must be. I stumbled across
the beginning of one a number of years ago, so I decided to give it a
shot. Remington Bond was mincing around on top of a dam and wound up
bungee jumping down the face of the dam, bungeeing upside-down into an
open-air toilet stall where a Russian was sitting on the pot. Forget
the whole creepy Larry Craig aspect of the scene and forget that the
outdoor dam-toilet only existed because a snickering hack screenwriter
stuck it out there as a ridiculous setup. Upside-down in the outdoor
toilet and face-to-face with a crapping Russian, Remington Bond quipped
something like, "Mind if I drop in?" I certainly did. I shut off the
TV. Five minutes with Roger Moore, Jr. was five minutes too long.
