No thanks *PIC*

In Response To: Re: Why all the fuss? ()

They've already got their answer, and they're using it: Rolex dumped Bond, that's why Omega.

Remember those old presidential debates, when Dan Quayle was coached up on saying his age didn't matter, that John F. Kennedy made fine younger president?

Lloyd Benson reminded him that he knew John Kennedy, that John Kennedy was a friend of his. And Dan Quayle was no John Kennedy.

I'll be no less proud to pass along my Omega to my son that you'll be to yours. And my son insists that any Bond before Pierce Brosnan is "old" and didn't get it.

And when it came to timing his performance at his first Cub Scout Pinewood Derby yesterday, it wasn't any Bond association that was important to him: It was precision time keeping! Pretty important when the difference between the first place and no-one-remembers position was 0.012 seconds (per computer measure via optic sensors - like nothing that existed when I ran my own car as a Wolf).

I respect your position, and appreciate you taking the time to comment here.

Thanks.
