Straight Line of the Day: Things That Need Names

… like that little glue strip they use to hold rolls of paper towels and toilet paper together until you’re ready to use them.

… the tail end of noodles that won’t make it into your mouth, no matter how hard you slurp.

… that eerie feeling that what you’re experienced hasn’t happened before.

… that eerie feeling that someone is washing you.

… monkey-induced STD (GonorRhesus)

Bond Girlathon Wednesday : Results from 12/3/2025 : New Matches for 12/10/2025

I am sorry to announce there was a scheduling mistake in last week’s matches. Seydoux vs Sotiropoulou had already taken place way back in week 1. Most likely cause was a rerunning of the scheduler produced a slightly different set causing the duplication. This match is voided. At some point the correct match will show up. Fingers crossed. Anyway, onward to Christmas! Ho Ho Ho!

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.

Miss Caruso was an agent of the Italian Secret Service. She was asleep with Bond at his home when, just before 6am, the doorbell rang. Bond answered the door to find M, who announced an urgent mission. He also casually mentioned that the Italian’s were complaining about their missing agent, Miss Caruso. In a scene lit with humour, Bond continually distracts M to avoid him finding Caruso, with a little help from Miss Moneypenny, who had accompanied M.
