Default Not so Groooovy, baby, I think I've lost my mojo.........

In Australia, we celebrate Father's Day on the first Sunday in September and my 14 year old son gave me some nice presents, but one of them had what I think is a glaring error. The book is called "Shagadelically Speaking - The Words and World of Austin Powers" by Lance Gould. ISBN 0 09 1871727. It is basically a dictionary explaining the meaning of such words as "Jubblies" etc.

However, on page 87, under the letter "M", is the entry "Mustang convertible. American-made vehicle driven by American CIA agent Felicity Shagwell." Below this is a photo of Ms. Shagwell in a convertible that looks surprisingly like a C2 Corvette. Could someone out there please verify this?

Perhaps agents Scully or Mulder could investigate and if true, we could lodge a class action against the publishers. If we win, all I want is a date with Ms. Shagwell. Don't want any money. Or Vanessa Kensington. Or Alotta Fagina.

Or anyone..........

Stephen,
Thanks for the cheerio. My copy of CQ came last Wednesday and I showed the guys at work. They were all green with envy. Or was it that they were looking at Daniela? Just as long as my wife doesn't see it. It won't help the divorce proceedings if she does!!! :nopity :reddevil

It was really great to meet you and all of the other guys, too. Keep in touch.

Regards from Down Under :cheers:
