I saw no pints of Guinness in that collection and no empty vodka bottles so you didn't raise a glass for "the other 009". Does that make me "the other fellow" as well in the Carrington MI6?

Hmmm....

Living Daylights...Bond to Koskov and you my friend are the bigger wanker. God are we back in middle school

TLD: "We have a word for that too Georgi...and you're full of it."

TMWTGG: "There's a usefull four-letter word...and you're full of it."

Perhaps a bit of confusion on both sides.

It was grand Ry. Yes..Really.

More evidence to follow.

and RY - Mention to Harvey...The Jennifer Love Hewitt theory....

Just sayin'

I'll see you next recess......

Stupid Bond fans...

Stupid children.

Look closely....I'm holding a can on "the morning after" shot.

I and the lovely Athena did indulge in a few martini's. She had one. I had six.....Fair trade.

You know.

Getting ready to take Joyce to the beach.

Yes, there will be pics.

We have indeed been fortunate!

009 is the best, of course!

As for the "no pints of Guiness" comment, no offense, but, piss off.

We raised more than our usual share of just about everything.

Doing our best to keep it that way.

Cheers!

Ah Bryce you make me laugh. I think Homer pretty much sums it up.

Mulder: Mr. Simpson, we want you to recreate your every move the night you saw the alien.
Homer: The evening began at the gentlemen's club, where we were discussing Wittgenstein over a game of backgammon.
Scully: Mr. Simpson, it's a felony to lie to the FBI.
Homer: We were sitting in Barney's car eating packets of mustard. Happy?

I don't remember eating any packets of mustard.....

Then again....well.....Tasted like Guinness...or was that a martini?

*Angry, disgruntled Homer voice*

"Stupid Ry and his lousy posts....I hate him sooooo much!"

NOT Really! :)

Hey 004! There's a party on the roof.


and yes...I am touching your fiance'...and she's been slapping the :) out of me for it.

Still.

Yes...REALLY.

:)

Now, back to the business at hand..er...pint.

All was not just "fun & games" last night.

Something posessed Athena and she had a "Miranda" moment demanding that Joyce "slowly with the other hand" surrender her issue weapon. Wisely, Joyce complied, but then proceeded to smack her around a bit.

Just sayin'

In general, I am sure she got the thrust of the conversation.

Ack.

Excuse me, I just lost my mind for a second.

Must be that nasty blended scotch that....

Oops.

Nevermind.

Back to the scrumptious single malt.

Breakfast of champions.

Thanks 009.

We love you.

Soooooo


We got out to the beach and Joyce dipped her toes in the "refreshing" waters of the Pacific.

Gotta love her, she went for it in true OHMSS fashion.

Well, the plans for today (pending a call from certain Double-O...Who shall remain nameless, but he is a wanker) may find us paying a visit to the Magic Kingdom,

ORRRRRRRR......

Hitting Hollywood. Mann's Chinese, Hollywood and Highland, Hollywood sign, Wolfgang's new restaurant, Pierce's star...All that good stuff.

I believe our lady has gotten her "time-zone" adjusted...(Hey, she only slept until noon today).

One more from the beach.

More to follow as we continue to save the world and destroy LA...*thinks*...Fair trade.

When I party I can drink more than that you wussies...  And I rarely get a hangover. Mind over matter.
I can even make my heart stop...


Sounds like you are quite the Bond woman Pamela.

I'll be in Vegas for the SEMA show in November. Now that's a party. Vodka & Red Bull and coffee with 4 espresso shots in the morning. Nectar of the gods...or at least a good survival technique.

Ah, 009.

I regret that I was suddenly called away on assignment.

Not to worry.

I am currently mending the situation.

I have had a stamp made that reads:

"To The Attention Of Lance Freemen"

The paperwork has been completed in record time.

Also, have sent to you via special courior, 006's credit cards and ID badges with 003 and I's pix in place of his. So, the sky is the limit.

Sorry, Lance.

No, really.

You know....

Anyway....

What is the next plan in the 009 training exercise.

Camp X

Edwards?

TJ?

I don't think she's quite ready to deal with the intensity of Disneyland.

Hmmmm.

Perhaps after a pint or so....of scotch.

Than all will be right as rain.

Not that we get rain.

Crud.

Where's my meds.

Ah.

There it is.

A few ounces of this should do.

Cheers.

Love you, 009!

Duly noted 004...Thanks for the plastic from 006, but all that was there was a Blockbuster card and a Bus Pass.

Typical.

*ahem*

So, the adventure continued....

to HOLLYWOOD!

We managed to have a "lovely drive in the country" through Bel-Aire, Beverly Hills and Joyce managed to take in the most common of sights in LA - TRAFFIC.

That aside, we got ourselves over to the famed Hollywood and Highland and quickly took in the locale.

The place was alive and busy for a warm Friday afternoon, but certainly worth visiting.

Joyce was thrilled to be in the middle of it all and was quickly shooting video and got to see the famed Hollywood sign in the hills above. It was a bit hazy in LA, but still the sign and hills could clearly be seen.

The Theater!

It was after this stop that Joyce very firmly set out as if on the scent of something. I could hardly keep up.

A lady on a mission.

Eeerily, she found her prey....and then began praying for him to show up!

"predator" was now being stalked.

Quite pleased with herslef, we returned to Hollywood and Highland and 009 very kindly bought us drinks at the famed Twist bar at the Renaissance Hotel which is also where I had left the Jag.

After relaxing in the elegance of the lounge, we set back out towards Beverly Hills.

Now, here's the best pic that I could not explain, but well...let's just say that "My reputation proceeded me"

The Valet literally "had my number"

So, back towards Beverly Hills and cruise through West Hollywood and down into B.H. -

I gave her a few more sights to take in as well as showing off my old stomping grounds from my days as an assistant. Following that we arrived at the Century City mall - one of the nicer outdoor shopping centers in LA.

With no word from 004 (wanker), we opted for dinner and a movie.

With two tickets for "Bourne Supremacy" in hand we drifter into a popular spot called Houstons (great bar, great steakhouse) and had a lovely dinner with much more of the same shop talk (including a great discussion of our alter-ego's - There's a lot more to "Major" Carrington than I ever knew - she learned a few things about Bryce as well) :)

With a fine meal (thank you my dear, I appreciated it) we set off for the theater and in the looming shadow of the new MGM building, headed in to "check out the competetion".

Damn fine film, but definately different spies yet cut from the same cloth. I'll get something up in that thread at some point.

A quiet drive back to the Casa, a quick night cap and for the first time since her arrival, both of us turning in before 1am :)

Don't worry, we won't let that happen again.

More adventures as they happen....Whatever they may be. Today, we're playing it by ear and lounging about a bit. Hopefully catching up with 004 later on.

If he ever calls me back....Wanker.

To quote Joyce: "I saw a lot of stars yesterday...He's going to be seeing a LOT more if he doesn't call soon...as in spinning around his head!"

For the love of God 004, get thee to a phone. She's been practicing back-spin kicks all morning....and they HURT!

Bloody hell.

What in God's name are you facing off with 009 for?

Goodness, 003, you must have a thing for pain and discomfort.

Come to think of it, there was that girl in Philadelphia....

Hmmmm.

No matter.

INform 009 as soon as my current assignment is comploete, I'll be "dropping" in.

She'll understand.

And, 003, watch for her forearm smash.

It's really very good.

Hope your dental plan is still in effect.

Cheers.

I' m still alive.

Hang on, of course that' s not what you were worried about.

003 is still alive too.

We spent yesterday lounging about Casa Bryce, watching tons of spy films.

In the evening, we were joined by the kick-:) Flicka. 003 cooked us a lovely dinner - I cannot say this enough, the man' s a wanker but he is one damn fine host - and concluded the evening with another rerun of Goldeneye.

Good fun.

Today we' ll see what 004 is up to. Tonight, seeing as it is my last night, we' ll head out for a formal dinner.

Stay tuned for pics and more babbling.
