Lets move to Pierce's era, I have a few bad women to choose from, but I am keeping it to women that Bond had relations with so...
Would you rather take Electra to the casino OR take some fencing lessons from Miranda Frost?
Lady in red! Electra is a beauty on the outside. Inside exists a petulant child who is traumatized from an experience as a young woman. She might just enjoy the pain of love.
Dare I say she keeps her tip up? Miranda is living the life as a double agent. A competitive spirit lives within her. Can you handle Ms. Frost?
That depends on your definition of safe sex.
:x
For the record, I know of one aerospace writer that absolutely HATES the Bond films, but still gives TWINE a pass because of the presence of Sophie Marceau. She is really that lovely - a real highlight of the Brosnan era IMO. And Ms. Marceau’s birthday is a week from today (November 17th) so that is another point in her favor.
It would be fun at the roulette, blackjack tables and slots with Electra King as company if you're allowed to play as the question suggests.
Interesting to see the love for Electra. She does seem to be a commanding presence and for sure a beauty!
I was going to do one for Daniel's films but he didn't really have any truly bad women. The only one is Severine and she really is caught in a bad place.
So lets move to the many drinks of James Bond and see which one you might prefer.
Would you rather drink a Mint Julip OR an indifferently blended brandy?
A mint julep is enjoyed by Bond and Goldfinger in the heart of Kentucky.
A classic mint julep has a refreshing blend of mint, sugar, bourbon, and crushed ice. Here’s a basic outline of the process:
1. **Prepare Fresh Mint**: Use about 8-10 fresh mint leaves.
2. **Muddle with Sugar**: Place the mint leaves in a glass with about a teaspoon of sugar (or simple syrup) and muddle gently to release the mint oils.
3. **Add Bourbon**: Pour in 2-3 ounces of bourbon, depending on your taste.
4. **Fill with Crushed Ice**: Pack the glass with crushed ice, stirring gently until the glass is frosty.
5. **Garnish**: Top with a sprig of mint for aroma and presentation.
An indifferently blended brandy was enjoyed by Bond, Colonel Smithers and M. Chat GPT says the following:
An "indifferently blended" brandy could mean that it lacks the refinement, smoothness, or depth of flavors typical of a well-crafted blend. In this case, the brandy might taste a bit rough or unbalanced, with certain flavors overpowering others. Adding an “overdose of bon boi,” which I assume is playful language for something overly sweet, might make the brandy taste intensely sugary, masking subtleties and leaving a cloying finish.
Which one are you more likely to take a swig of? You can consider the company, the location where the drink is enjoyed or any other criteria you wish to place on this choice of drinks!
So I'd go with London and Colonel Smithers' brandy expecting a fine experience.
A great song to play while you are drinking your Mint Julep!
Umm, nearly half of us didn't vote for him. The US is a pretty damaged country right now. I fear for the world when an admittedly sometimes imperial but fundamentally liberal democracy starts to collapse.
Would you rather a mint julep in Kentucky OR an indifferently blended brandy in London?
PS. There are at least three Bond / Beatles connections from this film. Can you name them?
Lets move on to another couple of drinks that our man has enjoyed. Which one would you rather have a swig of!
Would you rather drink a Campari fireside with Draco OR a Sherry with an unusually fine solera with Sir Donald?
Campari is a vibrant red, bittersweet liqueur originally from Italy. Known for its distinctive, intense flavor, Campari combines bitter herbs, aromatic plants, and fruit extracts, giving it a unique taste profile that's both bitter and slightly fruity. The recipe is a well-guarded secret, but the flavors often evoke hints of orange peel, cherry, clove, and cinnamon, along with a lingering herbal bitterness.
Campari is beloved by those who appreciate its balance of bitterness and rich, layered flavors. It’s often sipped as an aperitif, as its bitter notes are said to stimulate the appetite, making it perfect for before a meal.
OR
Sherry is a fortified wine from the region of Jerez in southern Spain. It’s made primarily from the Palomino, Pedro Ximénez, and Moscatel grape varieties, and its unique character comes from both the grape and a special aging process.
One key aspect of sherry production is the solera system, a complex aging and blending process that mixes younger wines with older ones. This creates consistency and depth of flavor. Sherry is fortified, meaning a small amount of grape spirit is added, which raises the alcohol content and influences its taste.
