    That is most kind of you to say. I love doing them and they are also great creative writing practice. Finals week is coming upon my campus at the moment but I had to give @Thunderfinger the tribute he deserved.

    I never knew Thunderfinger is a Nicholas Cage fan. That's groovy.

    They both share the same hairbrush. ;-)

    A digital storm is approaching, and his name is Thunderfinger

    Aah, Thunderfinger. My favourite finger. My number one digit. I haven't forgotten to salute you, my friend. I'm just not very good at these speeches. As someone who's only been here for half a year, it's great to see you quickly become a well respected member through your combination of Bondian knowledge, incredible wit, and generally warm personality. My regular sparring partner on the activity page, keeping me in check when I think I'm being too clever, and having great taste in avatars. Keep up the good work- although I'm still not quite sure how good you are. Anyways, looking forward to getting to know you better, buddy. :-bd

    Let me tell you about @Thunderfinger.

    Odin's offspring is, to say the least, incredible. I'm not talking about that hammer throwing nitwit who stayed in Asgard. I'm talking about the fierce slayer of men, that mighty bloke who decided to guard Earth. He lives in Norway nowadays, and his name is THUNDERFINGER, brother of the God of Thunder, but we know what this one can do with his little finger... ;-)

    I salute @Thunderfinger! A fellow continental European, and from my experiences a kind and wise member.

    Reading those amazing tributes suddenly took my hangover from last night away. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Always thought those little stories posted here were made up, but now I see they are all true.

    Sure I am a Cage fan. Funny story: When <i>National Treasure</i> was in the cinemas I walked past a poster for the fim in the subway, with my wife and son. He was 5 years old. He looked at the poster and said "<i>Look! It is Daddy!"</i> Haha, I do not look like him either, but my kid really believed that was me.

    You might try to fool us, @Thunderfinger, but we know that you're really Nicolas Cage. Don't you have some women to go kick or an alphabet to recite?

    Ah Thunderfinger! A worthy contender to the title of coolest username on mi6community. Not only that, but he's also a contender for coolest member of mi6community! One of our brave scandinavian agents, always on duty, always witty, always ready for action ;).
    I salute you @Thunderfinger! oregonian_martini.gif

    Nothing shows more appreciation than a Thunderfinger salute. :))

    As opposed to the "two fingers" Thunderfingers salute ... >:)

    Two fingers=45 variations, one for every purpose...

    @Sandy, thanks a lot! Coming from a cool cat as yourself, that is high and heartwarming praise.

    To those who have not given me any undeserved love yet: Too starstruck? Haha!

    I had a lovely week, and repeat that it is @Dragonpol next. Or do we have to wait for a word from Mr. Appreciation himself, @StirredNotShaken before voting? I think he may be due some appreciation himself in the near future for setting this lovely thread up.

    I vote for Draggers, er ... Dragonpol - but yes, we do have to wait for confirmation by our Thread Master, Stirred Not Shaken, after votes are counted.

    And we are not through with you just yet ... almost, dear Thunderfinger.
    Here is one variation, shamelessly copied by Chris: (this is the nice version ...)

    May our appreciation for the Finger of Thunder
    linger a bit longer, for our hearts he has plundered

    Indeed. You are a poet and scholar and you do know it, @QBranch!

    Aah, thanks for the poem. And that picture. Curious about the not so nice version, though.

    The word scholar has brought this into my head!



    For some reason the link isn't working.

    Bang goes that gag then! ;-)
