Some quotes from the MFU behind the scenes book I found amusing/interesting - part 1

Rolfe’s prospectus had established “U.N.C.L.E.” as the name of the international crime fighting organisation Solo worked for, although at this point no one had yet assigned words to the letters.

***

At one point he [Norman Felton] changed Solo’s first name to Edgar, and had him work for a CIA-type organization where he answered only to the president of the United States;

***

[Sam Rolfe] created an organization he named “U.N.C.L.E.,” developing it in minute detail, making sure it was an international organization so the series would not be seen as an allegory for the Cold War. He stated at the time that he thought audiences did not want to tune in just to see the same things that scared them on the news earlier in the day. But Rolfe confesses that one reason he chose “U.N.C.L.E.” was because it was provocative–it could be mistaken for the United Nations, or Uncle Sam.

***

To establish an international flavor, Rolfe also suggested in his second prospectus that a Nigerian agent and a Japanese agent be developed for the series, and he gave Solo a partner, whom he designated a Russian and gave the name of Illya Nickevetch Kuryakin. Illya was to be of equal rank with Solo, and an aid to him in times of trouble. But unlike Solo, Illya was to be a loner, quiet in manner and totally dedicated to the job. The fact that Illya was to be Russian undoubtedly helped Rolfe’s concept of U.N.C.L.E. as an international organization that had no Cold War philosophical differences to contend with. Illya was seen as living in a small apartment, where he kept his clothes but nothing else tidy and where he secreted a collection of jazz records under his bed.

“Rolfe also suggested in his second prospectus that a Nigerian agent and a Japanese agent be developed for the series”
Aw, man, I would watch a spin-off with ‘em.

DUDE me too! Jason could probably have been the Nigerian agent. (from The Brain Killer Affair) He was cool.

REBOOT REBOOT I’d watch the hell out of that.

“Is it bad the only reason any of us will vote for Hillary is because of Trump?”

No. It means that you’re mature, responsible adults who understand the stakes of this election.

We don’t give up. We don’t stop. This is one election, and Bernie’s revolution is just beginning. We protect our country and our fellow citizens – especially LGBTQ, people of color, immigrants, Muslims – from the horrors of Donald Trump and the movement he leads, and we work like hell to elect Progressives to Congress and at the local and state level.

We don’t give up. We don’t take our ball and go home. We keep fighting, and we work like hell to elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine because if Donald Trump and what he represents is validated by winning a national election, we all lose.

Hey guys! Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on places where I can find a good meal plan with lots of recipes / ideas for healthy meals. I kind of hate having to look up recipes all the time when I’m living at school and I was hoping I could maybe subscribe to something that would help me eat better this year? Anyone know of anything?

I have two really good go-to resources but I first strongly suggest an Evernote account that you can clip things you find online to. Once you have that, NY Times has a daily food section they send on email blast that is really good. Then, get friendly with Epicurious - they have a great search engine that has never done me wrong.

Best advice? Get and stay curious!

The man who ghost wrote Donald Trump’s book is terrified of what would happen if Trump is elected, and he’s making sure the media understands just how high the stakes are.
