T - Time

Everybody knows Mr. T is cool. He's the man. He pitied cancer, and cancer turned tail and got out of dodge. There are even bobbleheads made in his holy image.

I pity the fool that buys this 1985 Audi 5000!


In celebration of T's majesty, I present to you the top thirty Mr. T facts (stolen from here).



Mr. T destroyed the periodic table, saying Mr. T. only recognizes the element of surprise.

Every time a church bell rings, Mr. T pities a fool.

Mr. T hates playing 'Rock Paper Scissors' because he doesn't believe anything could beat rock. He always chooses rock, and when someone throws paper, he says,"I win." If someone is foolish enough to dispute this, he takes his clenched fist and punches them in the face, then says, "I thought your paper would protect you."

Mr. T is capable of spontaneously creating life. Once, while flexing, parts of each of his biceps broke off and created Emmanuel Lewis and Gary Coleman

Mr. T speaks only when necessary. His main form of communication is folding his arms and slowly shaking his head. And regardless of the situation, he is always understood.

Mr. T doesn't pity anyone who likes the Black Eyed Peas. He just kills them.

Mr. T scared the black out of Michael Jackson.

The last time Mr.T went hunting he got a 10 point buck, a white rhino and two bald eagles... He is no longer allowed into the Zoo.

Mr.T pities the fools who don't eat his cereal, as it is the only known source of Vitamin T.

When Mr. T received his star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, he made his hand prints after the cement was dry.

Mr. T recently opened a Psychic hotline, one in which he takes every call. No matter the question he is asked, he gives only one response: "My prediction? Pain." He then goes out and personally pummels each caller witin an inch of their life, because Mr. T can never be wrong.

23. That's the number of people Mr. T has pitied in the time it has taken you to read this sentence.

When creating the alphabet, Mr. T placed the letters M, R, and T in seperate areas so people could learn to read and spell without fear.

April 1st became known as "April Fool's Day" only after Mr. T decided it would be easier to pity a whole bunch of fools on a set date rather than pitying a few fools each day.

Mr. T once ate four 72 oz. steaks in 12 minutes. He spent the first 5 minutes laughing at the fact it takes Chuck Norris fifteen minutes to eat three.

Mr. T is not black. It's just that the sun is to afraid to shine on him.

Human females have two X chromosomes. Males have an X and a Y. Mr. T has three Ys and a T. He's more man than you'll ever be.

Mr. T was once involved in a head-on car crash, and he was the only survivor. Mr. T was walking at the time.

There are only four horsemen of the apocalypse, because Mr. T is going to walk.

Mr. T coined the phrase, "I see dead people," after the waiting staff at Denny's forgot his birthday.

Mr. T once captured Bigfoot, but released him after he shaved the beast and realized that it was just Chuck Norris walking around naked in the woods.

Mr. T can eat a rubix cube and crap it out solved.

Mr. T lost two arm wrestling contests in his life. One was to the planet Jupiter, and the other was a two hour battle with his own umbilical chord.

Gravity dosen't exist. Mr. T just pities everything to stay the fuck down. Birds and planes are exempt beacuse they are shaped like Ts.


Boxing Day Bonanza

Being that today is the wonderful Commonwealth holiday known as Boxing Day, I set out unto downtown to pursue entirely selfish, materialistic goals.

Stage One: Winners

  • 1 pair black dress pants
  • 1 pair dark brown dress pants
  • 2 pair boxer shorts
Total: $48.93, which was a mere $1.07 short of the total sum on the gift card. Superb!

Stage Two: HMV
  • 1 "Jimmy Hendrix - Are You Experienced?" CD
  • 1 "Pink Floyd - Pulse" CD
Total: $32 - an amazing deal, considering "Pulse" usually retails for $43 by itself. Now I can replace my incredibly worn, scratched copy. Score.

Stage 3: Tip Top Tailors
  • Nothing
Total: Zero Dollars. Sadly, there was not much left for me to pick through by the time I got there. Most disappointing.

Stage Three: London Drugs
That's right. 1 Sony Turntable, on sale for $99.00 plus GST. There are no words to describe how awesome this truly is. Kudos to he (or she) that correctly guesses the first album I played with this marvel of technology.

Stage Four: Satan's Delight
  • 1 Big Xtra value meal
All in all, the only thing more disgusting than the meal was the price: $7.35! Judging by the sudden rumbling coming from my bowels, I wager that I have about 2 minutes to finish this blog entry.

Stage Five: Staples
  • 1 cordless headset for my cellphone
Total: $32, which was just a hair over the $30 sum allocated to my Staples' giftcard. Now I should actually be able to have a conversation where my arm doesn't fall asleep from holding the freaking phone. A lower risk of brain cancer is another benefit, I suppose.

Aside from stage four, it was an excellent day of shopping.

Holiday Cheer and Such

The Toronto Star posed various holiday questions to Paul Martin, Stephen Harper and Jack Layton today. My personal favourite is found below...

If you had to buy Christmas presents for your opponents, what would you buy them?

MARTIN: I'd email them some iTunes. Motorhead for Stephen Harper. Nirvana for Jack Layton. And The Smiths for Gilles Duceppe.

HARPER: (No reply)

LAYTON: For Paul Martin: Some waterfront property on the lake — maybe a personal stake will get some action out of the Liberals. Stephen Harper: A gift certificate for the gay village so he could get some decent leather clothes. Gilles Duceppe: Justice Gomery gave him the best present ever, so I'd make a charitable donation in his name.


A gift certificate for the gay village so he could get some decent leather clothes. Jack Layton, you're the MAN.

The New Democratic Party just earned my vote.


Happy Holidays everyone! Here's a picture of me, some friends...and Satan Clauz.

He's One Bad Mother...


Just for Earl.

Note: It might appear that part of my skull is missing. Fear not - I'm simply wearing a dark hat.

Getting the Shaft

Without further ado, I present possibly the best...um, present I will receive for Christmas;

Can you dig it?

That's right - the SHAFT soundtrack, on vinyl no less! Being that I'm a (wannabe) sex machine that gets all the chicks, I felt this present was a fitting choice.

While it would appear that the vinyl records themselves are in mint condition, I have yet to ascertain the sound quality; I don't have a record player at present. My yet to be listened to collection includes;
  • Jesus Christ Superstar (featured in an earlier blog entry)
  • David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
  • The Who - Who are You?
  • Elton John - The Complete Picture
So why collect vinyl without having the capacity to play them? I do intend to purchase a record player sooner than later, but I've been hesitant to buy one used as I do not have ANY bartering skill (nor the technical knowledge to determine if record player is in good condition or not). I have thought about buying a brand new player, but they can get surprisingly pricey.

If anybody can help me out with this, I'd love to hear from you. I would like to thank Jenn for already alerting me to a few used players, and of course for the wonderful Shaft gift!

Cheers,

Sean

A Day that Will Live in Infamy

I have a horrible announcement to make, and I won't waste anybody’s time trying to sugar coat it.



It is my sad duty to report that the 2005 season of the NFL Death Metal Challenge has been cancelled. As some (or most) of you know, my Internet connection has been tenuous at best over the past few weeks; up for a few minutes, down for a few hours…in spite of my connections being nice and tight. Thanks to these Shawnanigans, I was not able to receive all of the DMC players’ picks, nor able to post what I did receive on the Blogoramma.

For the record, the final standings;

Team SEAN: 92 wins
Team BISONWEB: 83 wins
Team EARL: 68 wins
Team JEREMIAH: 63 wins

Given that the season has been cancelled, there will be no Satan’s Delight awarded to the winner.

I’d like to thank everybody for contributing to this event, and look forward to your continued participation in 2006…

"SHAW-nanigans"

My internet is still down at home.


Telus is looking more and more attractive...
