Well, before Bryce gets a chance, I, for one, do appreciate all of the patience you all have shown. I really do think you all will enjoy what we have planned for everyone this year.

There are many things that will make the MI6 00 team work for their credentials, nothing like cake walk you had last year. (Not my words, M's) Both M and my director have authorized the DTBB team to see that you earn the certifications, without undue bodily harm, of course.

And as my director reminds me, on a daily basis no less, NO, Jag, I did not forget about the elevator shaft, the planters, the fountian at Ceasars, that gentleman propped in the chair at the Playboy Club, nor the "accidental" passing of the group of SMERSH agents on the coaster at Stratosphere, though my lab guys are still trying to figure that one out.....

Just a little more time is all we ask, but hey, use the time to invite your fellow agents and friends!

Felix

Ok, I ought to have put quotes around "accident".

But Jag, that was some of my finest work! :tup:

I think it's equal of the best of the House of Sinanju. Do you know how hard it is to stage an accident on a moving rollercoaster? It was art, I tell you!

My trigger finger is itchy.

Does that mean somebody is talking about me, or that I need to shoot somebody - or something?

I am ready to scratch that itch at The Gun Store with a full-auto, or Bryce's PPK. Of course his ASP would do nicely too!

Waiting for DTBB3 news and updates is fun. It's like waiting for an official announcement that Amy Winehouse will/will not be performing the QoS theme song!

At least it can be said that DTBB events and Amy Winehouse have one thing in common: you simply can't look away!

Here's hoping I can finally attend after two failed insertions (that's what she said...)

That's some great advice, Jag! I hope to make it this year.

I attended a BCW event in NYC and Charlie threw an excellent party from the Waldorf and it was a blast! I hope to come by this summer. Seeing as how I neglected to treat myself this past year, I think spoiling myself is in order...I'm hoping 003 can accommodate?

Quite right, Professor. Last time I was in Vegas (2004, it's been far too long), one of your greenbacks cost me 1.38. Spending lavishly was not encouraged at that rate!

Now that the currencies are at par, I can afford a visit to that nice dealership at Wynn...what was it again :tup:

"This is when the fun starts." - Bryce - Chapter 22 "None Shall Regret"

UGH! My sleep is off the mark schedule wise, but alas, myself, Agent Leiter and the good Dr. Warmflash are off to Vegas on Wednesday for a hit & run of some issues and details. Nothing wrong, it's just time to lock all of it down.

Miss Bellucci is doing her due diligence on a number of matters, but, as I was called this weekend, now has another matter that may require myself, Matt (004) and Miss West to employ a "Burn Notice" on certain individuals in the Phoenix area. I'll doubt we'll need back up, but if need be, I know who to call.

All of this on top of getting to London in less than three weeks.

It's tough work being a secret agent.

Yeah, but nothing you can't handle.

Unless you count that incident with the mariachi band and the drunken goat.

It was a good thing I knew how to play the trumpet.

Excuse me missy, but WHO was responsible for sharing a bottle of wine with said goat cooing "But it's soooo cute."?

At least I didn't wake up to it drinking out of the ice bucket like your mule in Rio. It's not like Matt and I taught a chimp to fly a jet or anything.....

Oh yeah....Never mind.

Hee hee hee! We are doing recon in Vegas as I write this and I gotta say you mooks are in for a gasser! Places to go, people to meet, and agents to plan for before we sleep! Bryce, Dr. Warmflash, and I have procured intel on so many wonderfully exciting thing I want to spill the beans, but as we speak, Bryce has a PPk to my head, so I will sign off. More updates to come!

Travel schedules permitting, Lady Four Aces and I are hoping to attend this year. Traditionally we visit Las Vegas at least once a year in the Sep/Oct time frame, but often make a second trip.

I should also be there later this year or early next for either Keith Code's or Freddie Spencer's school at the Las Vegas motor speedway.

Cheers,

I definitely need to find the time to get my motorcycle license!!!

I'm still eagerly awaiting the opening of registration and the publication of the schedule. Assuming that it's acceptable to Bryce, I'd like to attempting promoting the event on facebook.

Take a BRC (Basic Rider Course) from the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation). Just Google for your area and a list of course locations will be listed for your area. The course usually substitutes for taking a State driving test. Then you just take the written test (which is very easy) and you get your license. The course is two days and can be done over a weekend.

*awakes from haze*

Well, the good Dr. Warmflash and Agent Leiter and myself have returned from Las Vegas.

A few details have been hammered out and refined given that there were one or two bumps in the road. Never fear however. All has been seen to and I must add that both Felix and the good Doctor were both astounding in their field work.

The best moment for me though was walking into the "Event" office.

Receptionist: "Yes sir. Can I help you?"

Bryce: "Yes. I'm hosting an event here later this summer."

Receptionist: "The name of the event."

Bryce: "Bond....Dare to be Bond."
