Well they got me. I didn't know about “The Onion”. It just reinforces the fact that you need to watch what you click on and validate your web sources. At least now I am aware of the new James Bond flick. Thanks Don

How about an awesome high speed chase up rte 93 with both 007 and the bad guy racing to see who can reach exit 22 first?

How about ripping a page out of the "Goldfinger" playbook: the camera pans slowly over the image of a beautiful, nearly-naked, dead woman; thing is, this time she's covered in maple syrup, not gold leaf.

Naw, they'd be careening around the exit corner on two wheels, as the camera captures the (new) exit sign: Exit 21, Spectreborough.

So I am driving up to exit 23 to get to my Home away from Home in Meredith and I notice for the first time that there is no Exit 21. It has only taken me oh 25 years to notice this but out of curiosity does anyone know why

And Retired Ole Guy would be watching thinking to himself "hmmm wonder why he didn't take exit 21"
