About Me


SPIDERHOOFS
Hairyarmfetish!!!
*Their combined age is one hundred and forty years old
*Mal is actually Tom Meighan, lead singer of the band 'Kasabian'...Or is he? No one can tell.
*Helen has a twin called Nicky who looks like Johnny Borell who, coincidently, have never been seen together in the same room
*Craig was once cloned from a combination of pop-sensation 'Usher' and 'rival' Robert Smith from uber-goths, The Cure.
*Spiderhoofs strongly deny that Darryll is 'a ginger' but make no comment on the allegations of his decreased mental stability at this time
*Helen has a habit of walking around her house in her underpants, regardless of how many people are there at the time.
*Ronan, though mentally 'stable', has a tendency to 'ride a bicycle'
*Although Mal may write song lyrics about finding it hard to 'get the head down', he can sleep anywhere and at anytime. He may even be sleeping right now!
*Darryll works in Belfast by day and spends his nights raging a tyrannus reign upon the planet Gongo.
*Craig meanwhile dreams daily of leaving his mundane life, that of a put upon househusband, and going to the city to become a showgirl
*Ronan used to giggle like Jimi Hendrix
*Helen denies she has nice tits but, in fact, does!
*Spiderhoofs claim to fame is that they were once added to the list of things that don't exist. (Note:They've since been removed)
*They all may or may not be gay
*They are surrounded by armed bastards!
*Craig liked this bit better without the spaces, now he thinks it looks shit.
