Spy Games
With the pending premier of USA Network’s Burn Notice, ya gotta wonder what it would be like to be a spy. I used to play “spies” with my friends all the time. Pretending we had all of that cool equipment, you know, very 007. Cars with guns in the fenders that would pop out when you pushed a button, and ejector seats with parachutes for quick escapes. I always wanted one of those little tiny hidden microphones, a collection of disguises, and all those neat little gadgets: night vision goggles, listening devices and tiny little cameras for photographing secret documents. If I were a spy, I’d be a martial arts expert, and take a course in stunt driving. I could fly a plane and a helicopter, and be able stalk thru the woods in autumn without making a sound. Honestly, I’ve always thought that it would be exciting to be a spy. That’s why I love books about espionage and assassins. I don’t think I could ever be a martini drinker though, it’s just not me. But I still contend that it would be cool to be part of a top secret government agency, collecting data on the bad guys, thwarting their evil plots to take over the world and save the day. Maybe even save the girl, unless she’s prettier than me, LOL.
