The Gibbon of Glee - ProfilesArchive

About Me

I'm a fading vicenarian. I like cake, zombies, monkeys (and apes, in fact all primates including the aesthetically challenged proboscis monkey... though I think Gibbons and Lemurs are my favourites) and pirates (the olde kind... Gyarrrr!) in no particular order. I think I'd like to be a cake eating zombie pirate monkey. That would be damn peculiar.But enough of my lofty ambitions... for now I'll just stick to tree dwelling.Just one more thing... just because my moniker is "The Gibbon of Glee", don't expect me to bring you any happiness unless you've plied me with plenty of Tequila, Rum or Brandy first. Even then you run the risk of finding me belligerant

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

1. A wild gibbon... 2. Black Beard... 3. A real zombie... 4. Johnny Cash... 5. Richar Pryor... (dammit the last two are deceased... and so is Black Beard. Zombies probably aren't real... so realistically I'm left with a Gibbon)... 6. All the happy people out there... 7. All the unfulfilled people out there wanting to join the happy people..... If they exist, the following... 8. St Lucifer... only to ask if he was really just misunderstood and whether he was sorry for causing such a palava... 9. God... to see whether he/she/it could ever forgive the aforementioned or whether he/she/it was bound by the New Testament.

Music:

Pretty much everything by Johnny Cash (except the cover of Danny Boy)... LCD Soundsystem, Aphex Twin, Roots Manuva, AC/DC, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Metallica, System of a Down, Thin Lizzy, The Dubliners, Jay-Z, Pixies, Kate Bush(!), Hot Chip, The Foos, Flogging Molly, Devendra Banhart, Curtis Mayfield, Kanye West, Canned Heat, Bruce Springsteen....... The very guilty pleasures of the Maiden........ The Arcade Fire, The Flaming Lips, The Doors etc, etc, etc

Movies:

Jaws... I like drinking to my leg, and your leg... Oldboy, Harvey, Rocky to Rocky Balboa (even the diabolical Rocky V), Rushmore, ALL zombie movies, everything Richard Pryor is in, Pan's Labyrinth, Robert Redford in his Sixtie/Seventies pomp... ummm... Versus, anything with William "Khan!" Shatner/Brian Blessed/James Earl Jones in... they could boom at each other for eternity... The Station Agent, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan(!), Kung-fu Hustle.... on and on and....

Television:

The Sopranos... Curb your Enthusiasm, Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, The Mighty Boosh ("I'm Old Greg!"), Spaced, I'm Alan Partridge (not the 2nd series... Damn Steve Coogan's eyes!) ummmmm, Father Ted... anything with Peter "just one more thing" Falk/William Shatner/Dick Van Dyke (my dad)/Brian Blessed in... All of them in the same Columbo... That would be quite arousing... Stuff with Apes, Monkeys or Gibbons. actually probably most wildlife. I think we need a Hamster challenge show, slap a thousand angry Russian War Hamsters in the face then see what animals they can crush underneath their tiny hamster feet... Futurama, The Simpsons all the usual animation funk.

Books:

Factotum, Fear and Loathing, Cash, Pryor Convictions, If Chins could Kill, The War of the Worlds, stuff by Edgar Allan Poe diddly-i-o, Tolkien, Zombie Survival Guide, Crime and Punishment... read about a third of Paradise Lost by which time my brain tapped out and fell out my ear... Naked Lunch, His Dark Materials(eek! I like the idea of armoured bears)...

Heroes:

Richard Pryor, Johnny Cash, Bruce Campbell... Sly (remnants from my misinformed youth)... damn this is silly...
