Top 5 James Bond Evil Henchmen permalink

1. Oddjob
Obviously the perfect henchman, he was silent but deadly. It wasn’t until 007 put a “shocking” move on him that he went down, but not after nearly taking Bond’s noggin off a few times with that bowler. Also, could crush a golf ball with his bare hand.

2. May Day
If you’re anything like me, you have constant nightmares about Grace Jones. From her ridiculously manly body to her ridiculously manly voice, she’s terrorized my dreams with her vicious androgyny and deadly gunplay for over two decades. Yeesh.

3. Jaws
He paved the way for henchmen like He-Man’s Trapjaw, and made everyone wish they had the ability to bite a golf club in half when they needed to. Dude could chomp a Volkwagen apart in under a minute. And I imagine he ate entire cans of soup like tictacs.

4. Tee Hee
Tee Hee was awesome even though it was obvious to anyone watching Live and Let Die that his hand was ridiculously fake. You could see some brokeass joint around his wrist, but his red suit and glasses more than made up for it. Just like a big, angry lobster.

5. Pussy Galore*
Kind of a gray area here since Pussy Galore turned into a good gal at the end, but the flaxen-haired temptress was a ringleader of foxy pilots before 007 romped her in the hay. Still has the best name ever, though.

Vacation Spot o’ the Week: Barèges permalink

see you thereThis village in the Pyrénées is home to the second-oldest ski resort in France, which is linked with La Mongie to make the largest ski area in the French Pyrénées. Le schwing. It’s about an hour’s drive away from Lourdes, the popular pilgrimage site if you’re into checking out places where little girls saw “visions” centuries ago. If you’re not into that junk, there’s a ton of skiing, obviously, and at night, you can get into a drunken bar brawl with locals in the village or with tourists at the major resort hotels.

Other than that, there’s not much else to do, which is a good thing if you ask me. See you on the slopes.
