RIP James Bond, 007

[silverking]

Sir Sean Connery has passed at age 90. He had a remarkable film career but will forever be Bond, James Bond, OO7. Bet he's enjoying a vodka martini, shaken not stirred, right about now.

Among my boys' high school cross-country teams that took names and kicked butt all over Florida circa 2000, there was a constant lively debate over Alpha Male of the silver screen. It always came down to Sean Connery versus Brad Pitt, and Connery generally won. I'll drag my arse through a cross-country tribute run to Sir Sean tomorrow,

Nice humble brag Gary

Rip to the one and only 007

I'll bet he's drinking that martini with Pussy Galore! My favorite actor of all time. RIP

Full disclosure: My TCC men's team are also big fans of the Original Bond film star...and we just got last in our conference meet.

I heard during a Connery tribute that Ian Fleming was originally opposed to a Scotsman playing Bond, but was so impressed by Sean Connery's performance in Dr. No that he infused Scottish descent into his Bond character for subsequent novels. That's some appreciation.
