> [@etv78](#): > > Not Dillinger, 2 DQs Not sure where you get Dillinger from. **James Bond** married Tracey in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” the theme song of which was “We Have All The Time In The World.” Juan Romero was a busboy in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in LA in 1968; he was shaking hands with **Bobby Kennedy** at the time of Sirhan Sirhan’s shot, and bent down to help Kennedy when Kennedy fell. And finally, **Blip** was the monkey buddy of Space Ghost and his friends in the 1960 Hanna-Barbera cartoons. Three DQs reserved for now; let’s let **SCAdian** and **Elendil’s Heir** use theirs first. ---
