And it's not just a theremin player who was a Russian spy, it was professor Leon Theremin himself.
Not only that, but Leon Theremin was the inspiration for Boris Badenov.
OK, I made that up.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Even if it's a sparkly one?
Look, if I somehow get turned into a sparklepire, I will still be taking my inspiration from Near Dark and The Hunger, not the Cullen family. I have vampiric standards.

When's the last time you watched The Hunger, anyway, Jilli? Do you have the soundtrack?

I've always assumed all theramin players are Russian spies. That's why I never tell Jon any state secrets.
Jon's not very covert, though, what with the silver pleather and all.

I have to show this off.
The presiding bishop (US Episcopal) gave the sermon at my church a couple of weeks ago and I got to speak with her (briefly).

By watched, do you mean all the way through? Because for that, probably some time last year. But if you mean watched the first 20 minutes, then about a month ago.
I don't have the soundtrack! I need it, obviously.

Leon Theremin deserves a movie made of his life.

True, but I'm still got going to tell him about the plan to insert two teams of commandos into the Iranian nuclear facility at Qom with two V-22 Ospreys launched from the USS Wasp amphibious assault ship.

There is the documentary which made all this stuff widely known. I think it was the reason Jon took up the theremin.

Yeah. It was a cool documentary.
Except it didn't go into his teaming up with Tesla to fight crime - with a time machine.
