Got to agree with him on that.

Damn, no numbers on the dials. 
Bond's Rolex in Live and Let Die
As seen in Roger Moore's big-screen Bond debut, this Rolex does more than merely tell time. It's equipped with a high-powered electromagnet (good for deflecting bullets), which Bond uses not only to unzip ladies' dresses but also to retrieve a compressed air gun in the nick of time. The Rolex is also outfitted with a miniature circular saw in the watch face, which 007 uses to cut through his binds and escape.
Bond's Omega Watch
This deluxe watch was worn by Pierce Brosnan in three films. In GoldenEye, Bond's Omega Seamaster is equipped with a laserbeam cutter that helps him and Bond girl Natalya escape from the villainous 006's ICBM train. Later, Bond's watch allows him to arm and disarm magnetic mines in 006's lair. In Tomorrow Never Dies, Bond's new Omega watch was used as a remote detonator; in The World is Not Enough, Bond's Omega watch (encased in titanium) is capable of illuminating Bond's inflatable ski jacket (!) and is also equipped with a grappling hook and micro filament cable.

Andy Rooney is a doddering, senile fool.
But even a broken watch is right twice a day.
Or,
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again.
I've been asking myself for some time now, why does CBS keep this puddinghead on the air? Then it occurred to me - because they're CBS. They added Katie Couric, too.

Bill, even doddering old fools have something prophetic to say once and a while. And he does.
Katie Couric....I certainly agree with you on.

You guys ACTUALLY watch those ill informed talking heads? You could be studying flight dynamics Linda. Or building a Corvette motor from scratch. Or designing a suspension for one that would win at Sears Point..
Oh never mind. 
Give me a call on Skype. We should talk.

Blasphemy !!!!!!! That would have to be a FORD motor hon, and I don't really listen to him unless it's by accident. I've just heard him say a few things that are pretty good and I have to agree with him on.

He must keep screaming on about having pictures of William Paley with a hooker and since no one at CBS even remembers who Paley is anymore (or what he stood for) everyone just thinks that must be bad and keeps him on to blather on about whatever it is he blathers on about.

A FORD?! Not I. For me it would be a Mitsubishi VR-4. Make that little 3 litre twin turbo sucker put 750 hp to all 4 wheels to the ground. Then put my toe nails in the radiator and go survive a few laps.
But then I'm a sleeper. What do you want.
