Made Of People

Too tired for an all around recap. Maybe tomorrow. For now, know this: There were two occasions, both bonus questions, where I revealed the absolute depths of my geekery in full. The first? James Bond trivia, musical scores in particular. The second? Knowing a minute detail from Toy Story.
But hey, geekery pays. $50, to be exact.
Bonus Bond Track:
“Thunderball,” as originally belted out with hearty Welsh fervour over the opening credits of 1965′s James Bond film of the same name. Make no mistake, as I think the best Bond themes were the three done by Shirley Bassey, particularly Diamonds Are Forever, but you can’t count out Tom Jones. The sheer bombast of this recording is beyond awesome, and once you’ve heard it a couple of times, you’ll find it entering your skull at the oddest times. You’ll be in a meeting at work or standing in line at Starbucks, when, all of a sudden, you’ll get this urge to strike a mic-in-your-hand pose and sing, “And he strikes …. like …. Thunnnnnn! Der-Ball!!!!!!”
Or maybe that’s just me.
