Yeah, it was a tossup for me between Lazenby and Dalton. I ultimately opted for Dalton because there are just parts of his Bond films where he just comes across as utterly charmless. Lazenby, however, was not really any better, but he only had the one film so I felt it was a bit unfair to judge him on that. But I’d…

Heh! Your mileage may vary. ;)

Here’s my idea for a Bond film. In the latest installment, the new Bond discovers that a man named James Bond (played by Sean Connery) has been assassinated. And then another (George Lazenby) is offed, and then another and another. He comes to find out there have been multiple James Bonds, and that he is just the…

Yet another lunchbox I had back then:

I had this Battle of the Planets lunchbox when I was kid, back in the late 70s/early 80s. Man, I wish I still had that thing.

I think he had Joe Cocker’s Up Where We Belong on the brain when he wrote it. Perhaps it’s in his playlist?

Yeah, you’re probably wasting your time. They barely even bother to read the responses to their articles most days, I think, let alone correct errors. Sometimes I even believe they do that shit on purpose just to make people’s heads explode. They get some kind of twisted thrill out of it. It’s like, “We have the power…

Yes. Yes, it is.

Aw. Love the concept. This would make a fantastic ongoing kids’ TV series.

Oh god, yes, this is right up my alley. Never heard of it, but I will definitely be looking for it now!

Yeah, your order is not even close to right. From left to right, it goes (1) Britain Dalton, (2)Filip Geljo, (3) Jamie Flatters, (4) Bailey Bass, (5) Trinity Bliss, (6) Jack Champion, (7) Duane Evans Jr. Took me like two minutes to google that.

Oh yeah? Well, two can play at that game! On behalf of McDonald’s, I am submitting a claim that Game of Thrones is free advertising for Burger King and therefore should be banned in Russia! I mean, look at Robert Baratheon. He’s a king, and clearly he’s been eating lots of burgers. Burger King!

Yep, I gotcha. We’re talking turtle, right? In the sewer? You could only be talking about . . . Maturin.

Sing with me now (to tune of Every Rose Has Its Thorn):

Yeah, how many times do people put up with being haunted in a particular house before someone finally burns that shit to the ground? I would think the Amityville house is well past that threshold by now. Burn it, Bella. You know you want to.

He might have a case of jumping cursor. My laptop has that too. Not badly, but I have to read everything before I post it to make sure it hasn’t happened. It’s annoying as fuck.

My understanding is that he wrote the last three books pretty quickly, so yeah, I think he mostly winged it through a lot of that. I actually loved that trick ending though. I thought it was the perfect ending for what was essentially King’s Eternal Champion character.

There was also a short story I read in college that had a bunch of yellow in it as symbolism for cowardice, including a yellow drink of some sort (lemonade, I believe). It was a story about patriotism ultimately, but I can’t for the life of me remember what the story is.
