“Hi Mr. Walrus, found some more Far Sides for you.”
“Excellent, anything else?”
“Some funny videos, may be classic someday.”
“Bring it on.”
Hi guys. It looks like Mr. Walrus has chosen me to host the new feature, Bond Girlathon. I think I would have made a good Bond girl, don’t you think? Hehe.
Here is the format for the matches. There will be two a week until every girl has played every girl once. There are 81 girls broken into 2 divisions. The top 16 in each division will then play in the Championship tournament which will be single elimination.
The voting for these matches wil be ranked preference with you choosing how strongly you prefer either contestant. It will be on a scale of 1 to 4. Also, for you men who can’t choose, there will also be a no preference option. Let’s see how that works out.
So here we have our opening two matches.
Diana Rigg (Teresa di Vicenzo) VS Anegla Scoular (Ruby Bartlett)
Actress: Diana Rigg Nationality: English Bond Movie: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) Synopsis:
Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo was the most important girl in Bond’s life, becoming Mrs Tracy Bond by the end of the film. Starting out troubled and suicidal, Tracy was rescued by Bond, who gradually fell in love with her. At their wedding, Bond vowed that they would have all the time in the world together. In a tragic twist of irony, Tracy was assassinated by Ernst Stavro Blofeld as the pair were stopped at a roadside to remove the flowers from their car.

Angela Scoular Nationality: English Bond Movie: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) Synopsis:
Ruby Bartlett was one of the “angels of death” at Blofeld’s swiss clinic. She had been brought there to cure a chicken allergy, but was in fact being hypnotized by Blofeld as part of a plot to spread a crop virus around the country. When she first met Bond, disguised as Sir Hillary Bray, she discreetly wrote her room number in lipstick on his thigh, so that he could meet her later that night.
Jane Seymour (Solitaire) vs Catherine Schell (Nancy)
Actress: Jane Seymour Nationality: English Bond Movie: Live and Let Die (1973) Synopsis:
Solitaire was a psychic tarot card reader working for heroin baron Dr. Kananga. She predicted the movements of James Bond and other men who posed a threat to their operations. Solitaire was practically imprisoned by Kananga as he knew that, like her mother, she would lose her psychic gift if she were to make love. When first meeting Bond, Solitaire drew the lovers card, predicting the fate of her and Bond. Indeed, Solitaire soon lost her powers, and became a target of Kananga’s wrath.
VS
Actress: Catherine Schell Nationality: Hungarian Bond Movie: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) Synopsis:
After sneaking into Ruby Bartlett’s room in the swiss clinic, Bond had returned to his own room. He said to himself in the mirror, “Hilly, you old devil”, before noticing that another patient, Nancy, had snook into his room. Being the only man in the clinic, Bond had attracted the fancy of several of the girls.
Good night.

The Church of England No Longer Identifies as a Church
PJ Media | 08/20/2024 | Lincoln BrownThe Church of England has apparently joined the pronoun movement. Of course, none of this should come as a surprise to anyone, but it is still a shame. According to a report in the Telegraph, the Church has decided to stop using the word “church” in order to be more modern. I don’t know what word they will use. Lodge? Club? Association? The Loyal Order of Water Buffalos?
By all indications, the church is keeping its official moniker as “The Church of England.” That is understandable; a lot of letterhead would need to be thrown out and logos redesigned. From a cost-benefit standpoint, it makes sense. But going forward, churches will be referred to as “communities.”
Man pulled gun after Burger King worker wouldn’t accept drugs for payment
NY Post | 08/19/2024 | Isabel KeaneA Colorado man held a gun up to a Burger King drive-thru worker when they wouldn’t accept a baggie of drugs as payment — and was ordered to serve more than 143 years behind bars, officials said.
Eugene Robertson, 40, was sentenced Thursday for the drive-thru incident, which spurred a series of crimes Robertson carried out in the Denver suburb of Aurora on Oct. 17, 2022.
After pulling the gun on the fast food worker, who told police he was scared he was going to be killed after turning down the baggie of drugs, Robertson walked into a 7-Eleven across the street and pointed a gun at the head of the store clerk, the Sentinel Colorado reported.
Robertson then noticed a surveillance camera was in the store and shot at the screen before fleeing. As he ran out of the store, he shot at two people in the parking lot, the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office said.
Good afternoon.
