Question for fans of 'Casino Royale' (2006).

There were seemingly so many double and triple-crosses in the film that I kind of lost track after a while. Help me out here:

Bond managed to suss out on his own that Mathis double-crossed him. But how?

Vesper mentioned after her meal with Bond that she needed to see Mathis, and left Bond at the table. How did he figure out that Mathis was crooked?

My community health care company has boosted the number of daily patient visits again.

We have gone from a reasonable 18 per day, to 22-26!

As of lunchtime today, I'm on track to see 22. And that's not factoring in the 3-4 Johnny-Come-Latelies who usually drift in to the clinic without an appointment around 4 on a Friday afternoon, somehow thinking it won't be crowded or anything.



If you're ever tempted (at your next clinic visit) to be upset at the duration of your wait to see the provider, it ain't no picnic for us, either. And unlike the absurd delusions I've seen people post in GD, we're not getting mansions and yachts out of the deal...

I will be hanging with Will Shakespeare for dinner, drinks, and the Seahawks game.

Anybody want to join us?

Happy Hour begins in roughly 90 minutes.

We will also be hashing out this week's edition of WSTFTD.

Hope to see you all there...

The DU Lounge has a new official fragrance - Nudity by Aristus.



"...Capture the nudity...the kind only Aristus can provide..."

A post by Aristus - No mention of nudity: 18-ish views. Mention of nudity: 300+ views.

If there's a demand for Nudity By Aristus (sounds like a cologne...), I guess I should break out the camera...

From 1993: A nude pic of me:



Under the uniform, I mean. Under the uniform, I'm completely naked...

Having some Greek food and a few slugs of Scotch.

How is everyone tonight?

If things in the Lounge keep going at the pace I saw today, DU will have its own nudist colony by the end of the week...

About Aristus

I truly believe that we will all live in peace and brotherhood someday. And so that I don't lose my faith in humanity, I will live my life as if that day had already happened.
