Thanks, HH. Shoulda known it was a Jeanne Moos piece, with her tongue firmly planted in cheek. And I can't get over how many women are raving about Craig's bod--I'm starting to think I'd better hit the gym!
HB I bat for the away team so to speak and even I'm raving about it

That was a cute piece. Big of her to admit her mistake.
As for getting into the gym, you've unwittingly asked for my Jack Lalanne speech so here goes: Get in there, buddy! Go for the women, stay for your health.
As a regular gym-goer, I was struck by the number of people -- many of whom I would assume are teenagers or in their 20s -- who said Craig was too "musclebound" to be Bond, like "Schwarzenegger," as someone guy put it. That made me think they must be a pretty flabby bunch to not realize that Craig is far from musclebound. Most women don't like that. What they do like is the way Craig looks -- toned and showing some muscle definition -- probably from putting muscle where lard used to be.
But more importantly, it's good for you. I had a serious health scare a few years ago that might have been life-threatening if I hadn't been a regular exerciser. And a more vigorous regimen cured it. I swear by it.
And Jack LaLanne is in his 90s and still fit as a fiddle.
I wouldn't call Craig "muslcebound" but he's hardly just "toned;" he's well into "defined." He looks terrific, but probably a bit much if you're to believe he's just a deskbound rep for Universal Exports ... though I don't know that we've heard them mentioned since FRWL.
Universal Exports was mentioned in DAD, it was when Bond went to Cuba to meet with the sleeper agent under the guise of a Delectado Cigar merchant.
"Toned" may be a little bit of an understatement, especially in the shoulders, but the definition is really more a function of body fat percentage than huge body-builder type muscles (but getting that percentage down takes a lot of work with both diet and exercise). From what I understand, he did it pretty much with calesthenics rather than weights.
I don't think he'd look out of place as a rep for Universal Imports. I would think they'd at least wear shirts behind those desks -- and in this day and age would conceivably get a gym membership free as a perk or at a discount.
Also mentioned by Dalton's Bond in LTK when he says to a goon that he's from Universal Exports and is interested in buying a Great White Shark....
