Spies Like Us

First, no, I'm not a spy. I just thought that was a catchy subject line. But hey, big news: http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/06/28/russian.spying.arrests/index.html

By the way, best spy movie might be "The Man With One Red Shoe."

Agreed. But my intensive security training has made my spidey senses tingle when (I am a dweeb) when a beautiful girl relentlessly persues me like in One Red Shoe.

Now I'm running with it and counting my blessings, but my senses are tingly.....

yeah, I read some of the article in the Post - the really good Russian spies specialize in giving the grumpiest, laziest service as waiters - not just illegally, which I have little problem with, but without paying a dime in taxes, which I do.

Well, perhaps by being grumpy and generally bad at what they do as waiters, income is minimized and profit from the system remains as small as possible?

One of the people arrested was a big Peruvian journalist. She made her career by bad mouthing the US and being a "leftist." Turns out she was a direct Russian spy. Now, who would have thunk that one? Makes you think about all the other anti-US journalists out there too, doesn't it?

Wow. Really.

damn, I feel compromised - call national security!

one of the spies, Anna Chapman. should've stuck to being a mail-order bride.

It's called a "Honey Trap." At least in the LeCarre books.

Anna Chapman looks a lot like:

Excellent movie....

I liked the show better.

The movie comes after the shows. First watch all the shows, then watch the movie.

i watched them in reverse, movie first as i hadnt even heard of the show until afterwards, and i'm kind of happy i did only because the characters are better in the show and there's much more time to get to know them which i found the most enjoyable part.

Is it just me or do I see similarities between some of the folks here and the crew of Serenity?

Which one of us went to "whore academy"?

Hmm, well a quick check of the "whore score" (post count) shows the folks near the top of their class at "whore academy"
