Yet another reason why the original James Bonds are much funnier than Austin Powers.
The dream that finally got me out of bed this morning happened to be of a "wish this was real" movie: a bunch of semi-familiar (though nameless) character actors were anxiously discussing reports of the latest activities of "Scaramanga, the Triple-Teated Terror," intercut with scenes of StTTT acting nefariously. The actors who weren't StTTT kept repeating his cognomen earnestly, and always po-faced.
Scaramanga, you'll recall, was the titular (*ahem*) character of the last Ian Fleming novel The Man With the Golden Gun; he was portrayed, in the 1973 movie adaptation, by Christopher Lee (though not in my dream-movie).
Scaramanga's distinguishing physical characteristic -- and, really, didn't all of the Bond villains have at least one distinguishing physical characteristic? -- was that he had three nipples.
Come to think of it, I'm surprised that Fleming himself didn't use the phrase "Scaramanga, the Triple-Teated Terror!," given his penchant for sophomoric humor.
Now if only I can dream about Scaramanga meeting Anne Boleyn....
