Subject: Sexy Beast???

Sorry, I've been AU for awhile,and I hate to push down that chest... what? oh, I'm sorry, I got sidetracked there for a second... ahem... oh yes, well I had to stop in and pose this intriguing question! I caught "In Country" again last night on the Cdn History Channel and I heard something I never noticed before and I needed clarification. While they are in the field, people like Gunny and Webb had cell phones that they were using for radios - I can't remember what Gunny's call sign was, but it was something normal like "red rover" LOL Anyway, at one point, Webb gets a call when he and Gunny were in a meeting with one of the Afghan Warlords and as Webb steps away to take the call, I could have sworn I heard him say "Sexy Beast" LOL. Was I hearing things or was that his call sign?! And if it was, what does that say about Webb (assuming he was allowed to pick his own call sign, although normally you don't, but normally, another man isn't going to give you (or anyone) the call sign 'Sexy Beast' either, so I have to assume he gave it to himself).
Anyhoo - that just suddenly struck me - it's amazing what we continue to pick up on the 3rd and 4th time (or more) that you've seen an ep! LOL

Thoughts anyone???

[> Yes, he said, incredulously, 'sexy beast' and I heard it the first time I watched this (being a Scorpio, these things are on my mind) and thought to myself that it was a good thing that Webb said it instead of Harm. If Harm would've said it, the scene would've been 'x-rated' in everyone's minds, at least. As Webb said it, we all laughed a bit. -- mj, 13:50:23 03/26/08 Wed

[> Yeah, that was Webb. In fact, the first time I got up the nerve to post on the Harmyboard; it was in relation to the events of that episode. I was admitting a set of premie twins, and the father announced that one twin's name was "Kabir"! Then as I was driving to our other NICU, I got behind a truck with the bumper sticker "Sexy Beast". I was still laughing when I walked into the NICU. I half expected to find Harm & Mac in my backyard, and bombs falling overhead! (inside) -- doc, 14:36:21 03/26/08 Wed

The worst (funniest?) thing was that I was placing umbilical vascular lines when the father announced the name of his son. I was sterilely gown, masked and gloved, when I looked up stunned and announced, "But that's the name of the terrorist on JAG!" Luckily, the father, who was also a physician, laughed it off without offense. Of course, I had to go on and explain to both the father and the nursing staff.

[> [> Oh, and by the way, it was a family name, and both eyes were the same color! -- doc, 14:40:19 03/26/08 Wed

[> I think it would be referred to as his 'code name' and I assume that he chose it for himself. I always thought that it was interesting that he viewed himself that way. LOL -- Lee, 15:10:08 03/26/08 Wed

[> I always thought it was the writers having fun with the actor-- it wasn't that long after the movie--Sexy Beast with Ben Kingsley had been released, and I think they just thought it was a funny idea and stuck it in to amuse themselves more than it being a real reflection on the Webb character-- but who knows? LOL-- it was funny either way. -- manette, 15:28:28 03/26/08 Wed

[> [> LOL - you're probably right manette - I sort of thought the same thing, especially since at the time he says it the action is elsewhere LOL. I thought maybe he threw it in there as an unconscious suggestion to the audience LOL - maybe if we play some parts of the episode backwards we'll find other hidden msgs regarding Webb's virility! Well, thanks guys - I'm glad to know I wasn't hallucinating! (cuz ya know, if i'm going to hallucinate, i'd prefer it to be about something entirely different than that! ;0) -- Gibson, 15:49:57 03/26/08 Wed

[> I wonder if Harm and Mac had code names, and what would they be if they did? Or even better what would they be if they chose the ones for each other. "Hot Buns to Engergizer Bunny, come in..." LOL! -- Theresa, 16:04:24 03/26/08 Wed

[> If it were a code name as mentioned above- I could see Webb picking it for himself. If it was a call sign- I could almost see it because remember I think in Australia Webb kept showing up with a different beautiful woman on his arm speaking a foreign language? And in season 3 there was a really pretty blonde's photo in his apartment? Maybe it was making fun of all the women in his life we hardly ever saw. But I'm guessing most likely it was just the writers using the movie Sexy Beast to poke fun with the actor - sort of like Mac yelled at him that she wasn't some 'desperate housewife' - -- chris k, 18:30:20 03/26/08 Wed

[> This reminds me of when Bud and Harm where investigating the disappearance of an F-14. While they were at the pilot's home, Bud needed to use his password "Stud" on his laptop and asked Harm to turn away. Bud is the last man on JAG I would refer to as "Stud". -- ED, 18:55:11 03/26/08 Wed

[> I saw it too, Gibson (sigh) and remember that Webb always gave himself "interesting" coade names. He had a similar one in Season Two in Game of Go as well, but for the life of me I cannot rmemeber it ( may have to go and watch the entire episode again LOL) but not tonight because Season Seven finale is on is two minutes. -- can j, 21:58:31 03/27/08 Thu
