Hell. I offer up perhaps the best spy spinoff of the 1960’s for #Bond_age_ IMPOSTOR #5 and three people (including myself) show up to enjoy the festivities. This is why we can’t have nice things! Some of you were on dates. Some of you were watching the Red Sox clinch the World Series. Others had pre-Halloween family shenanigans. Check. In the end all these absent tweeters just meant more Bulldog Drummond, Irma and Penelope for us.
