The Man With The Stripey Arm ...

About Me


I am 38 years old (by the time Jesus was my age he had been dead 5 years). I was born in 1969, the year man walked on the moon, Scooby Doo debuted on TV, the Manson Murders happened and the festival at Altamont collapsed into a bloodbath.I live in Fife on the East Coast of Scotland - in a quaint village called Methil, unchanged by the years, the sun always shines, the birds always chirp and the baby lambs frolic in the sun ...DO THEY FUCK !!! even though it has it's (ahem) darker aspects for some stupid reason I love this place.I am married with a 4 year old daughter. Work is a necessary evil and I would abandon it tomorrow if I could find a way to be financially secure. I sing in 13 Tombs - a horror fixated punk rock band, you may not have heard of us but don't worry, we are so underground as to be subterranean...In the past I sang with The Superevils, Almost Human, Rockets Revenge, The Schoolhouse and Games For May - if you remember any of them award yourself a prize. If you genuinely remember ALL of them award yourself a week off in the destination of your choice. Tell your boss I said it was okay...PLEASE HELP!!!
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Beer, Kebabs, Cartoons, Comics, TV, Movies - all kinds of stuff I should have grown out of years ago. Low brow art stuff by artists such as Vince Ray, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and Pushead. I have designed a few flyers, shirts etc for various bands (see my pics) as well as the cover for Creepersins "Faster Creepersin, Kill, Kill !!!" CD. Other stuff I love includes nonsense such as Outer Space, Ray Guns, Monsters, Skulls & Crossbones, Rocket Ships. Basically it can all be summed up by the phrase "One mans trash is another mans treasure", or something...As a patriotic Scotsman I have an interest in The Loch Ness Monster - I don't know if it actually exists but I would prefer to live on a planet where things like that DO exist ... but if you think my love for my heritage somehow constitutes right wing tendencies, boy, are you way off the mark - I hate Fascism with a passion !!! (Just in case anybody doesn't get it, if you come out with racist crap I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW YOU !!!Spooky stuff - ghosts, zombies, cryptozoology (ooh big word), voodoo, UFOs, witchcraft, internal human combustion and haunted houses are some of the things I am interested in.I love black leather, brothel creepers, punk, goth and 50s clothing - all mixed up in a unique way. Shoes - I have to say I like shoes, I would much rather buy shoes than any other piece of clothing, the only problem is mens shoes are really rather hideous at the moment, too much brown ...
I love this video - The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster "Psychosis Safari"

I'd like to meet:

The members of Mystery Inc. Wiz from Mega City Four - I met him many times over the years and I am sad I won't meet him again

Here is an amazing feature on The Cramps from "The Tube" on UK TV in 1983 - after I saw it I was immediately hooked on The Cramps.. width="425" height="350" ..I am perfectly happy in my relationship so I do not need to find anyone in a romantic way. Friendly people who have the same kind of interests as me are always welcome as my friends - If you send me an add request and you are really just some internet dating scam kinda thing do yourself a favour and ram it with walnuts you sleazy ratbag.If you are looking for that special person (or persons, who am I to judge?) I hope you find them and are happy, just don't be taken in by these aforementioned scam meisters ...
Here is a cool video by The Empress Of Fur - anybody wanting to sell me a copy of their CD (for a reasonable price) drop me a line. Empress of Fur - Johnny Voodoo
