Was it just me, or did it seem to take ages for "sushi restaurant" jokes to happen?

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:40 (seventeen years ago) link

"what did the russian spy say in the sushi restaurant?"

"what?"

"nothing, he was too weak to talk, because he had been poisoned by a radioactive isotope that is deadly when ingested!"

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

if there's a bad radioactive isotope joke i haven't heard it.

― sede vacante (blueski), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

what's a bad radioactive isotope?

one that kills you when ingested.

I wish the newsfolk would stop referring to this as "james bond shit goin' on", when it seems far closer to "john le carre shit goin' on".

Bond would just shoot the guy w/ a silenced pistol, easy enough.

― kingfish in absentia (kingfish), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:03 (seventeen years ago) link

do the newsfolk really refer to this as "james bond shit goin' on"? a bit crass innit.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link

well, maybe not in so many words, but they would if they could.

and they do mention Bond.

― kingfish in absentia (kingfish), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

there's a new bond movie coming out innit.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, sometime soon. I haven't seen a trailer yet.

― kingfish in absentia (kingfish), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

came out last month (presumably in the US too)

― sede vacante (blueski), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:18 (seventeen years ago) link

really? i hadn't heard.

― kingfish in absentia (kingfish), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:19 (seventeen years ago) link

it's funny because it's well-known : D

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm so over the new bond that came out last month

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:27 (seventeen years ago) link

We need to take this back to proper conspiracy levels (yeah, it's frickin' Goldberg, but this bit is from a reader of his):

Current Italian PM Romano Prodi has long been accused of haven been on the KGB payroll. This accusation was repeated in the so-called "Mitrokhin Archive". Litvinenko recently made statements that he believed the accusation to be correct, though it is unclear whether he had proof or more likely simply was repeating the earlier accusations and saying he thought they were true. The last Italian government held hearings on the Mitrokhin Archive. One of the consultants to the Italian hearings was Mario Scaramella.

Faint traces of polonium-210 have now been found at Arsenal football stadium now!

it's not james bond shit *or* le carre shit, it's like the least stealthy hit in the history of hits.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 09:38 (seventeen years ago) link

CJ i think that's because there was some kind of big match w/a Russian team involved, and the big influx of Russkie supporters was the "cover" that the poisoners used to enter the country

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 10:22 (seventeen years ago) link

it's not james bond shit

but Mario Scaramella is an anagram of Mr Scaramanga!

Right, but it's fun for everyone because it's the old days when we all knew where we were and there weren't any Muslim radicals and spying was done by professionals living in single rooms with a little oil stove and the World Service for company, and not by any geezer with a CCTV camera and an embedded journalist by his or her side.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 10:42 (seventeen years ago) link

if it was proper bond shit the geezer wouldn't just be embedding one journalist.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 11:05 (seventeen years ago) link

it was Arsenal and CSKA Moscow

Razorlight in Polonium scare
Paul MacInnes
Wednesday December 6, 2006
Guardian Unlimited

Razorlight are still alive. This is the latest news from White Trouser Towers despite the revelation that the band flew back from a recent tour of Russia on one of those Polonium planes that have been interesting experts in radioactivity.

A source tells Newton's Victoria Bizarre: "The lads were terrified. They were all feeling run down when they got back from Russia; then switched on the TV and found out the plane they had been on was grounded in the radiation scare. They feared the worst and immediately called their management for advice."

Article continues
Which if nothing else shows the free spirited nature of the band. Potential poisoning situation, what should we do? Phone our loved ones? The emergency services? No, the blokes who order us around, they'll know what to do!

The band have subsequently been given the all clear.

The popular sushi chain in London is known for fresh, savory food with a short shelf life, and one considerably shorter than Polonium-210, a rare radioactive element usually manufactured in specialized nuclear facilities. -- NY Daily News, 12 Dec 2006
