"The Nude Bomb"

Wow. First Gilligan and now Max Smart. Who's next? It's chaos, I tell you! (or is that KAOS?)

I hadnt heard about the show until I saw the dude died on CNN.

You have to be an old computer nerd like me to get it. I used to watch it on TVland all the time. And the movie is absolutely hilarious, right down to the Desk Car with portable Machine Guns.

We should stand in the Cone of Silence for two minutes.

I remember once we were on a field trip to Ft. Dietrick, MD--the US Army Infectious Diseases command. (My high school bio class rocked.)

Anyway, we were all sitting at USAMRID, getting a lecture on biohazard precautions when a there was a loud telephone ring echoing through the building. It was one of those old Bell telephones, with real bells....

I looked at my friend Chris, and he looked at me.. The phone kept ringing. I discreetly checked my shoe (I was wearing suitably get smart leather shoes that day).

We both fought to keep a straight face. ah.

Thought I would add for those younger than me who never saw the Get Smart show, but old enough to remember the Inspector Gadget cartoons (not the live action thing). Don Adams did the voice for IG (and played essentially the same character as he did in Get Smart).

Thats an amazing , but true expression right there.

Who could ever forget the original parady to James Bond years before there was a Austin Powers.

RIP Maxwell Smart.
