Fake Shemp

Are you gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed?

About Me

Yes I am a pirate 200 years too late. The cannon's don't thunder there's nothing to plunder I'm an over 30 victim of fate.

My Interests

Sports, amusement parks, wastin' away in Margaritaville, trying to reason with hurricane season

I'd like to meet:

Vampires, Mummies, and the holy ghost...

Music:

Do you like Huey Lewis and the news? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercialy and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consimante professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Movies:

Ring trilogy, The Ju-on series, House of 1000 Corpses, Dark Water, Battle Royale, Versus, Any Takeshi Miike film, Frailty, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Evil Dead trilogy, Re-Animator trilogy, Romero's Dead Trilogy, just about any B-horror, Rudy, Miracle, Shawshank Redemption, Clint Eastwood movies, just to name a few. For a list of my 250+ DVD's please see my Blog

Books:

Necronomicon ex mortis, Green Eggs and Ham, Maxim Magazine, Tales from Margaritaville, Stuff Magazine, There's a Wocket in my Pocket, Where is Joe Merchant?, Harry Potter

Heroes:

Ash of course. Herbert West, master of the Re-agent. Father McGruder, he kicks ass for the Lord!
