This one seemed obvious, I suppose. Nonetheless I plucked the low hanging fruit.
The Living Daylights Opening Remixed with Corey Hart from James Patrick on Vimeo.
The Smolder sets the Tournament of Bonds on fire. But can his movies similarly turn the Tournament of #Bond_age_ Tweets to ashes? Here’s some of the best of what we twattered during the #TLD live tweet.
Partied with the Mujahideen. #BondYOLO

Listen I didn’t like his cooking either, but he didn’t deserve that. #TLD #Bond_age_

The lowest setting of #TheSmolder is 500 Gigadalts. #TLD

Cello? Is it me you’re looking for? #TLD

And by planned to the last detail, I mean I’m wearing boxers that perfectly cuddle my giblets. #TLD

An offhand Twitter comment about James Bond Limericks led to a flurry of Limericking among #Bond_age_ fans today. Below you will find the (ongoing) fruits of our labors.
@GregMcCambley
In the Living Daylights
we see an actor named Timothy.
He became Bond.
The public they yawned
and he left after two films, not three.
@GregMcCambley
Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd
Killing was all they did.
They went after Bond
but both got pwned.
One died by a flipped lid.
@echidnabot
There once was a dude called Chris Lee
Who numbered his mammaries three
Maud Adams was thrilled
After each man he killed.
Between deaths Nick Nack called out “Me!”
@p2wy
There once was a villain named Blofeld
whose villa was flooded by snowmelt
His dungeon was drenched
his henchmen wouldn’t flench
despite his best “Dr. No yell”
@p2wy, @kimmiechem2 & @007hertzrumble
There once was a Bond named Moore
whose actions one might deplore.
He starred in seven movies
and saw so many boobies
that you might call him a whore.
@kimmiechem2
Twas a gal named Domino
with face of lilywhite snow
vowed to avenge
François’s bitter end and so,
killed evil Largo
@filmchild
There was a young man named Roger
who referred obliquely to his todger.
The girls they came.
The villains were tame.
And Grace Jones refused to be his lodger.
@007hertzrumble
Bond adored a girl named Tanya
and said put this negligee on ya.
Then Red Grant boarded the train.
Their “romance” appeared in vain
until Red didn’t know his wine from Champagna.
@p2wy
There once was henchman named Jaws,
who almost had Bond in his claws.
He saved Bond in orbit
and splashed down to earth with
a buxom young blonde in his paws.
@TRWilcox
There once was a man named Lazenby,
who entered the franchise quite brazenly.
He grappled brilliantly with Kojak,
but did the audience to Connery go back?
They left George standing there holding his Dazenby
These past two years flew by. I keep saying it because it’s true — if it weren’t for all the awesome people participating in the live tweets and contributing to the #Bond_age_Pod and buying t-shirts and talking James Bond on Twitter and filling in to host when I’m on a Turkish bender none of this happens. Zero. Zippo. So this #Bond_age_versary celebrates everyone involved in this project.
Also this:
Dear Friends:
A perfect storm of events over the last couple of days resulted in the total annihilation of the #Bond_age_ website. My recent backup files were apparently corrupted and my web host must be owned by SPECTRE. I can reboot to a 15-month-old backup. I’ll likely rescue the original Live Tweet digests from this backup, if nothing else.
For the time being, thejamesbondsocialmediaproject.com will be under construction. We will return. I’m going to take this opportunity to make some improvements I’ve long wanted to make and streamline the entire blog. Thank you to everyone that responded on Twitter last night when I came online to vent my frustrations. At one point yesterday, in my most irrational state, I wanted to scrap the entire project and just walk away. You guys brought me back from the brink. I have not lost everything. @FanForumsTV informed me about Google caching so I can rescue most of the website, page by page. I downloaded these files and will work to restore everything we’ve done to make #Bond_age_ so f’ing great. But this will take some time. And patience. The live tweets will go on as planned. Next week we’re doing FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, the first of the Tournament of Bonds finalists.
I’m looking for some people to help me rebuild. If you have time and want to help, I will take you up on the offer. It will take a considerable amount of time to put the pages from Google cache back into blog format. Though I have the text, all of the images will need to be inserted back into the posts. I’m also actively searching for a webmaster/webmistress to help me build #Bond_age_ better, specifically someone to help with SEO, layout and some fine tweaking. Email me at jdpatrick913 at gmail.com if you have skillz you’d like to offer. *I can provide some financial compensation for the right set of skills.*
Love,
@007hertzrumble
