    As I got some votes from others than myself last time, my running gag has been ruined. :-L
    So let us give it to @Dragonpol this time. He needs to know he is appreciated. I do not need that. ;)

    Well actually, with your current contribution to the forum, the elimination game, I think you deserve some recognition. I vote for you, @Thunderfinger.

    Tricky one this week. I'd like to vote for either @Dragonpol or @Thunderfinger.

    I've tossed a coin. @Thunderfinger it is.

    I will be voting for you next time though Draggers.

    I am happy for Dragonpol or Thunderfinger to have their turn next.
    Tossing coin: Dragonpol it is!

    He's the powerhouse Aussie from down under, which just so happens to be his favorite part to explore on a woman. Legends of his birth have been passed down from generation to generation. Some say he was born in the wild Outback right in the pouch of a mother kangaroo and raised by a group of them in the hot Australian sun, boxing with them in order to hone his defensive skills. Others claim he was created through the insemination of the collective sperm from Sean Connery, Clint Eastwood and John Wayne into the most physically beautiful woman alive at the time of his birth. Then there's the religious nuts who think he IS God, holding supreme power over all that is around us, our creator and also our destroyer. Hell, likely all these theories are true if his reputation is anything to go by.

    Oh, and those dames from down under. He's gotta shake them off with a stick they're so addicted to him, like a dingo chasing the scent of his prey. Even though he booby traps his property, changes his locks weekly and always drives a different route to and from work, they inevitably find him, running topless towards him in fits of ecstasy if only to get a glimpse of him.

    In Australia he's a bit of a national hero, but his journey to fame and fortune wasn't an easy one. When he came onto the scene Hugh Jackman was a big deal, and all the women (and some men too) fawned over him like a king. It wasn't long after he made a name for himself that Jackman knew he had competition, and boy was it fierce. When Jackman got a six pack, he lived inside a gym and worked out non-stop for seven months straight, crafting a twenty pack. After Jackman saved a cat from a tree, he rescued an entire pound of animals during a devastating fire in Brisbane. And when Jackman traveled to Africa to help impoverished children under the control of a ruthless warlord, he traveled down there, snuck into the evil prick's compound, killed all his men and beheaded him, parading the detached mug on a pike through the villages to claim freedom for everyone. To paraphrase Sean Connery in The Untouchables: That's the Australia way!

    Nowadays he spends most of his time in a lab below MI6 headquarters crafting nothing but the best gadgets in the world for a certain British spy. Some of his crowning achievements were the Brassiere Blaster, Pocket Rocket and thermal spectacles. James Bo- I mean a certain British agent he knows doesn't like to admit it, but without his gadgets he'd have been dead years ago.

    That's right folks, his name is @QBranch and DON'T TOUCH THAT, it's his lunch. He has been with us well over two years and has cemented himself as one of the elite of the MI6 Community, renowned for his wit, creativity and artistic skill in addition to his deep dedication to loving and discussing Bond here with all of us. It's always great to see him around the forum posting up a storm and sharing his thoughts on Bond as well as his clever and often very hilarious Bond posters. He's my Bond brother, fellow artist and creative influence and a great competitor on the CapCon threads around the forum. I am more than honored to salute my pal from down under this week. Here's to you, @QBranch! :)>-

    Sorry about the multiple posts here. When I tried to post my salute to @QBranch the forum flipped out on me and I couldn't get back on it for five minutes or so, and when I came back all these posts were here. Any way the mods could delete the extra posts?

    For the next salute, I'm voting for @Dragonpol.
  • edited April 2014 Posts: 6,396
    Another fantastic tribute as always @0Brady. I don't know how you do it. :-)

    And finally, and I think I can safely speak on behalf of the community @QBranch, that this is how we all feel about you...



    ;-)

    Come on, a couple more votes for @Dragonpol please. If you pick me you may regret it. I will embarrass you. >:P :))

    @QBranch is really funny, he's a veteran member and this place wouldn't be the same without him. Plus he likes the Mad Max films and he's really talented too (check his fan art thread, he manages to make all sorts on the computer).

    I'm happy with @Thunderfinger or @Dragonpol winning it this week but just to make things more interesting I'll vote for @Pierce2Daniel this week.
  • @Dragonpol, for next week, but first there's a member that needs honoring this week.

    Without @QBranch, the caption contests, not to mention this whole Bond-loving establishment, would be an immeasurably poorer place. He's a fine artist, and, though it pains me to quote a troll, we would be nowhere without his gadgets. And that picture of a sandwich was one great avatar/reference. To many more captions!
  • I'll vote for Dragonpol.

    Does this mean I can call you a birdbrain without bashing you?

    I like the sound of that. I have birds on my brain quite often.

    Probably because you're brainpicking too often. Or it's only Tits and Boobies, of course..

    No comment on that. But what have YOU been up to the last week, @QBranch? You have been missed, and it is still your week here so just wanted to say that. Doing some field work?

    Hello, my friends. I've been offline for a week due to a faulty phone line, but I am happy to report that I can once again google search for videos about birds, bees, and porn- but not a combination of the three, because that would be weird. I must thank each and every one of you ladies and gents for the kind comments- you have brought a big smile to my face. I must also say a special thanks to other valued members here who I have not conversed with as much as I'd like, however I will endeavour to. It is a nice surprise you have left me compliments and remembered little details about my interests. Much appreciated, brothers.
