We had 7 amazing finalists for our “James and James Bond and Brimley 50 word story” contest, and it was SO tough to choose a winner (we got something like 110 entries!), but Will Goodwin will be taking home the pig for his story:

“Bond, this is your new car!”
“A Bus?”
“Indeed, but no ordinary Bus.”
“Missiles, lasers, the usual?”
“Not quite. Brimley?” Brimley turned the key, starting the bus. “It lists to the right.”
“And I’ll drive it?”
“That’s right.”
“For England, James?”
“No, for the children.”

Congratulations, Will, your dastardly pig is in the mail.

The rest of the shortlist is below!

In No Particular Order:

“Hey James, remember that time we were saved by a large pig?”
“How could I forget” replied Bond, “He shut down the doomsday reactor and we trotted off into the sunset.”
“Shame we’ll never see him again.”
“Oh James, never say never again.”

Brimley will return.

James arrived to the meeting. A voice from the shadows called “You got the pig?”
Bond walked out of the shadows.. James glared and replied, “His name is Brimley. The money?”
Bond handed over the briefcase “Don’t spend it all at once.”
James simply replied, “It’s all for the kids”.
– James Sparks

The pig headed Brimley had led Bond and the beautiful James into a horrible trap, resulting in their current situation on the edge of a cliff. The two of them dangled, butts exposed to the cold sea air. “Next time you try striking a deal…” Brimley leered “…sweeten the pot.”
– Lane Engelberg

Bond entered the room, carefully, slowly. He found Turner, who had just triggered the alarm. Guards would be on them soon.
“So Turner, remind me again why we came here?”
“Brimley needed us!”
“I’ve always been willing to die for England, but I suppose today I die for bacon”

James and James burst into the Baconarium in a blaze of confetti.
“Welcome, Jamesesseses.”
“You’re coming in, Porkington!” said James ‘Daniel Craig’ Bond.
“For killing my darling Brimley!” screamed James ‘not-so-much’ Turner.
“No mister Turner.” Porkington replied as he stepped into view “I AM Brimley.”
– Stephen Harris

Smoke cleared from the destroyed store, revealing the bloody carnage of Dr. Rosco’s qwopping
army.
“I’ve never had such a competent partner without breasts. Excellent work, James,” Bond said.
“It wasn’t me — Brimley triggered the explosion,” James admitted.
Bond nodded at the crocheted critter. “Here’s looking at you, pig.”
