Bond is back again and Lazenby plays him. Join me as I investigate the one and only appearance of George Lazenby in the role and try to figure out what the hell is going on. I mock the nonsensical missions-that-aren’t-missions, gadgets-that-aren’t-gadgets, and Blofeld’s plan-that-isn’t-a-plan that amounts to hypno-zombie debutantes with poison spray bottles.

I analyze Blofeld’s weird philanthropic tendencies, Tracy’s unexplained suicidal tendencies, and her father’s henchmen’s random homicidal tendencies. And I analyze Bond’s cozy relationship with the self-confessed second-biggest crime lord in Europe.

I obsessively identify the various cars. I try to imagine a less likely man to pretend to be a homosexual in a skirt and frilly blouse. I try to identify the moment Bond genuinely falls in love. And I try to identify the moment Bond realizes that his sex addiction has allowed a known international terror-extortionist to successfully launch his plan.

I’ve now uploaded the last part of my European vacation photos to my Fotki site.

After staying overnight in Venice, I flew to Paris to spend Sunday before returning to Amsterdam on Monday for work.

I’ve now uploaded the second part of my European vacation photos to my Fotki site. The second half of the Greek cruise was the best.

I just ended a cruise vacation in Europe. I say “Ended” instead of “Came back from” because I’m still in Europe at this moment, continuing to do some work in the Netherlands. I’ve uploaded the first part of my trip photos now to my Fotki site.
