California link?

Google research reveals that Connery never owned a van, and it can not be confirmed that he knew what a California is, who California owners are or what #vanlife means. At the same time, there has been no California owner who didn't know who Connery was, and that he was the only Bond. Given the almost hilarious asymmetry, a certain respect is due.

No disrespect was intimated. Thanks for confirming the lack of a link.

Is there a citation for the assertion that “no California owner didn’t know who Connery was”? He wasn’t “the only Bond” as others played the role. I recognise his popularity and also was a big fan.

Regarding the abuse of “almost”, “hilarious” and “asymmetry” - a hat-trick scored that ranks up there with “slightly pregnant”!

My simple query did not merit such a pompous and inaccurate response.

*irony alert. Sheesh.

Noted. The ironic view would have held in a standalone post on the thread but was diluted when tagged to my query!

*offers handshake!

May our mutual admiration of Connery be recognized as a bond (,James Bond) between fellow Forum members.

I would say a slap is more apropriate in this case

Well, there are actually five Sean Connerys living in California: https://www.beenverified.com/people/sean-connery/ca/

Sean Connery walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance, and then casually looks at his watch for a moment. The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?"

"No," he replies, "Q has just given me this state-of-the-art watch. I was just testing it."

The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?"

Bond explains, "It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically."

The lady says, "What's it telling you now?"

"Well, it says you're not wearing any panties."

The woman giggles and replies, "Well it must be broken because I am wearing panties!"

Bond smirks, taps his watch and says, "Bloody thing's an hour fast."

Legend. RIP

My father in law was in the Royal Navy when they were filming this, he and a mate were standing watching them film it. Miss Andreas had the knife in her bikini bottoms, the director asked one of the sailors to lend his belt which he did, he never got it back and got put on a charge for losing the belt. Note sailer belt around Miss Andreas waist.

Great anecdote

 

[daz60]

Blood Reed GI (Gunnery Instructor) told one of the sailors to give his belt to miss Andreas as the Director kept shouting cut as the knife was slipping out of her bikini bottoms as she walked up the beach. My farther in law Sharky Ward recalls, ending up having a meal and drinks with Sir Sean Connery. top bloke. RIP and God bless him.
