You receive tape recorder in the mail one day, you play.. it informs you that you have a mission to save the world from a crazy man named Dr. Evil who's holding the world hostage with nuclear weapons... you get so excited you don't hear the bit about "this message will self destruct in 30 seconds" and the tape recorder blows up in your face.. you die, and it's left to Austin Powers to combat evil.. however, you are reverred because it turned into such a good movie that wouldn't have occured without your little accident...
