I am always confused in the bond films, when he is inteding to do business with the main enemy. Why does he not pull out a sharp bunch of flowers and shout "bunch of flowers" in process either stabbing them or giving them a heart attack.

A chinese fan that's got sharp metal bits in it for stabbing/beating. Some even have darts. What fun! [dr_photon, Mar 20 2002, last modified Oct 21 2004]

You mean you've never been stabbed with a bunch of flowers before?

I assume this will be baked when we have Eddie Izzard as the next James Bond, doing his Sean Connery impression throughout and armed with trousers that turn into jam.

no, I don't want to knock myself out, UB; I just want permission to use the phrase.
-- po, Dec 29 2001


Yeah, that had me confused too. I thought that these flowers were for stabbing people, not for knocking them out.

If anyone has seen "Shogun Assassin", they surely remember the hero being attacked by two ninja-ladies wielding razor-sharp parsnips. Vegetables can be just as devastating as flowers, in the right hands.

On a side note closely related to flowers, If you shoot a watering tube (from a flower) out of a paint ball gun it makes for quite the quiet projectile, much like a modern cross-bow… Well with out the cross. Just another flower weapon.

So all those years, Morrissey was duping us that he was a pacifist vegitarian, whilst mocking us by waving around his gladioli?
I feel...soiled.
