Honour Of The Fight, Rant(s), hydra!, & 50Yrs Of Bond : The 39 Week 13 Round Up/Update [T39W13RU/U]
I'm still working on this one, but it was brought up to me how there is and never was honour in fighting... I beg to differ.
Honour Of The Fight (work-in-progress)
* Only cowards drew a gun - and were shunned
* It was always one-to-one
* A yield is a yield and must be aknowledged
* Booze and cigs were shared after concession - in honour and admiration
Rant #1 ::
Did the "unendingly annoying ecuadorian clan" below me seriously just breed... again?!? How many demn people LIVE in that apartment anyways??
and do they intend on teaching THIS latest entry in the clan to speak english or will it like the other "jabbering younglings?" *sighs*
it wouldn't be so bad if only they were the least bit respectful and didn't continue to do things expressly forbidden and/or exceedingly stupid.
Rant #2 ::
"terms of use agreement" xtians - they say they agree with the bible, but few of them actually read it.
seriously - I'll bring up odd/unusual/frightening things from the bible and be told I'm full of shiite...
THEN I get them the bible quote, have them pull out their bible (or the bible online) and *BAM!* ... still doesn't matter, their pastor/father/religious icon dealer knows better than I do.
*sighs* ... I've even been told that, not being an xtian I have NO right even reading the bible
...yet they go out of their way slinging it and using it improperly?!? *deep sighs*
BTW - yes, there ARE unicorns in the bible, and yes, the bible has MORE than 10 commandments, and yes, biblical descriptions of angels look nothing like humans.
just a little FYI, kiddos - look it up in your bible if you don't believe me... it's there.
after several (failed) attempts at getting the idea out, finally it is - still imperfect but better than nothing...

any talent found within is purely coincidental!
If I didn't have my daughters this weekend, I'd be watching Bond after Bond... why, you may ask?
October 5, 1962 : Dr. No, the first cinematic James Bond premiers... happy 50th, James!
My first Bond : A View To A Kill (on VHS via Grafton library)... and within a year I'd watched all the Bond films prior - I was hooked!
My favourite James Bond : Sean Connery, the "original" - oddly enough I'd have to say Daniel Craig would be my 2nd, even though grew up in the Moore era.
My favourite Bond film : The Living Daylights (with the gritty, assured, darkly dangerous Bond of Fleming's novels)
"Worst" Bond film : here I admit, I'm torn - The Man With The Golden Gun and Moonraker both had cringe-worthy moments, but I don't despise or completely dislike them.
of course, I do admit that I've oft-been a fan of films that many people despise and dislike films that many people have loved - so it's merely my POV.
My first cinematic Bond : honestly, I don't remember if it was The Living Daylights or Licence To Kill - but it was definately late '80s and Dalton in the role.
a bit of Bond trivia - of the 6 Bond actors thus far, how many have been Englishmen?
Sean Connery is Scottish, George Lazenby is Australian, Timothy Dalton is Welsh, and Pierce Brosnan is Irish.
only Roger Moore and Daniel Craig are truly Englishborn "Brit"s - so... two.
[though, by nationality, Connery and Dalton are technically "Brits," so I suppose 4 would be acceptable as well - Brosnan is from the Republic Of Ireland, not Northern Ireland, so he's no "Brit"]
