The State of the Onion 9
by Larry WallSeptember 22, 2005
For the last couple of years, we've been homeschooling our two youngest kids. Gloria has been making sure they learn the easy subjects like history and mathematics. I've been making sure they also learn the hard subjects like, um, cinematography. So I've been making sure they view some of the great classics.

Home schooling works best if the parents learn alongside the children, so I've been forced to watch the Bond corpus along with my kids.
Or is that the Bond corpses? Seems like there are an awful lot of them.
Anyway, it's a large body of work.
Though some of the bodies are larger than others. If you know what I mean, and I think you do.
Anyway, now that I've been wading through the Bond corpus again, I've noticed something I've never noticed before about the show. It's just not terribly realistic. I mean, come on, who would ever name an organization "SPECTRE?" Good names are important, especially for bad guys. A name like SPECTRE is just too obvious. SPECTRE. Boo! Whooo!! Run away.
