I'm not a big Adam West fan...in fact I can't even think of the old live-action Batman series without also thinking of that Richard Smiegal cartoon on Saturday Night Live. But I was reading NEWSWEEK and found this tiny quote that I think we can all relate to.
GOING TO BAT
Wildfires, shark attacks-this summer's a dangerous one. So with a new DVD out this week, PERI asked Batman (a.k.a. Adam West) to help us be more heroic. Superheroic, that is. His tips:
1) Get good gear. " You need utter confidence in your utility belt and a dependable vehicle without recall problems."
2) Find a sidekick. " Bounce stuff off them and say things like, 'Mmm. Mmm-hmm.'"
3) Prepare to die in ways that "most men don't even contemplate. Like being trapped inside a giant ice-cream cone, being barbecued under a giant magnifying glass. Or being made into postage stamps."
4) Always keep the lines of communication open. " I have a home office and I've got phones all over the house and none of them work worth a damn."
-Susannah Meadows, Bret Begun, Katherine Stroup and Mary Carmichael
