Kidding. I'm also eager to see whether you find that source you mentioned. I'd love to refresh my memory on that. I recall that Stan Lee went into quite some detail about his naming conventions. And it has helped me in coming up with names for some of my own characters- particularly those I created that live in the MU- like Parker's (future) son Hunter.

I think it may have been the same issue with the images of the Marvel production stuff of the era. Do you remember that issue? It had nifty mid-60's images of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and practically everyone else working on a Marvel book at the time? |

 That's worse than seeing Jack Black play Jason Bourne. |

There are actually A LOT of JB's in the world of entertainment: Jonas Brothers, J.B. Gaynor, J.B. Smoove, J.B. Lenoir, J.B. Rogers, Jim Boeheim, James Blunt, James Blake, Jason Bateman, John Belushi, Jessica Biel, Joe Buck, Jake Burton, Jack Benny, John Boehner, Joe Biden, Jim Brown, Josh Brolin, Jeff Bridges, and Johnny Bepp. JB is like the John Smith (John Bith) of the celebrities' world. Who among them can be a good superspy? I'd wager Jonas Brothers. No spy has ever made Ursula's song sound...childish. |

Not sure about the spy thing but we know she looks damned good with a blade and a bow....
...and she hunts vampires.
Could be the makings of a mini adventure there. |

It's five o'clock somewhere, right?
What about Jim Beam and Jimmy Buffett?
And because it is uncommonly slow at work today, I had a chance to find this interesting, if somewhat banal, discussion that parallels this one.

You might want to arm yourself with an espresso +3 before wading into this one. Some of the replies are base at best. I skipped them in favor of the wittier responses.
Good Hunting!

I'm not sure if it's due to stereotyping or whatever, but if you notice, there are very few female spies in films, and most of them are supporting characters (save Aeon Flux, Fiona Birch, and Violet Song Jat Shariff ). |

| Ah, Aeon Flux. Awesome spandex, awful movie. At least it had a few neato ideas worthy of adapting into D&D. |

'Twas a good film. Any film that has Charlize Theron on it is either good or great, never bad nor awful. For me, of course. |
