The World of Sherby57

Because I’m worth it

Big Sherby57 on TVer

Big props to the entire square-eyed massive.  I is back to regale you with tales of derring-do and mayhem\television.

This week saw the first episode of controversial reality show, Make Me Britain’s Fattest Prostitute (Wednesday).  Fourteen women from all walks of life are simultaneously force-fed junk food while learning the harsh realities of life on the streets.  The contestants have already started to argue as they don’t think it’s fair that size 22 Brenda has been allowed to compete.  She does seem to have an unfair advantage girth-wise, but none of the others seem to have noticed her sexual ineptitude.  My tip is to stick all your money on Shirley for the win.  She may only be size 8, but she’s guzzling chocolate cake and protein shakes like her life depends on it, and can put a condom onto a banana with her mouth.  You read it here first.

Friday night sadly sees the final episode of instant classic game show, Smashing Pumpkins (Thursday).  The premise is incredibly simple:  the contestants have to smash as many pumpkins as they can within a set time, whilst answering questions on celebrity news.  As the programme proceeds, the implements used to squash the squashes gradually become smaller; they start with a lump hammer and by the final round have to use their bloody stumps of fists.  What really elevates the show above the norm is the rapport between co-hosts Billy Corgan and Billy Corkhill (actor John McArdle).  These two are going to be the next Ant and Dec.

Finally, make sure that you don’t miss the heartbreaking documentary, The Cat Who Thought He Was A Fence (Sunday).  I can’t really elucidate much more than the the title does.  It’s about a cat who thinks he is a fence.  He just sits at the bottom of the garden and acts as a demarcation to the next property.  It’s an emotional journey, but is ultimately incredibly uplifting.  An amazing way to end the week.

The Dog Ate It

The more observant amongst you will have noticed that there was no post on here yesterday.  The thing is, I did write a post, honest, but the, err, the dog ate it.

Right, well yeah, I don’t have a dog.  I have two cats.  But in animal maths, two cats = one dog.  Yeah?  My cats ate it.

They didn’t actually eat it.  They chewed it a bit.  It probably looked tasty to them because I had written it on a pad that was shaped like a chicken wing.  It’s a very trendy pad, both nouveau riche and avant garde.

Anyway, the cats, like, chewed up the pad that contained the post.  I didn’t think it would really be appropriate to publish it with loads of teeth marks in it, so I ironed the pad.  Unfortunately I had the iron on the wrong setting and I burnt the page.  I’m such an oaf.

It was now flat, but I could hardly publish a post with a big, brown burn mark on it, could I?  I’m not a complete idiot.  So, I tried to wash the burn off.  I just wanged it under the tap and gave it a scrub with a nail brush.  You wouldn’t believe what happened next:  the burn didn’t budge, but all the words washed off.  I didn’t have the plug in, so they all got washed away.

I had no choice but to climb into my submarine and undergo an expensive miniaturisation process to allow me to travel down the drain to retrieve the words.  So I did.  Jeez, I had one hell of an adventure.  I had to blast a quivering, jelly monster with my onboard laser, etc etc.  I basically risked life and limb to try and get the bloody words back.

Just as I was about to get them,  a rat came along and ate them up.  Because my words are so magical, the rat underwent some kind of crazy metamorphosis and turned into a kind of half-mermaid half-fish.  It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.  Sadly, the transformation used up so much energy that the words were completely consumed.  I played a quick game of Ker-Plunk with the rat-thing and then I went home.  And wept at the loss of my post.

That is why there was no post yesterday.  I hope you all understand.

Post From The Past – July 2008

Here are the lovely posts from July 2008 (all two of them):

2. Post From The Past – July 2007 – Looking back at a classic month for The World Of Sherby57.  There was beautiful, thought-provoking art, such as World Of The Cats.  There was hard-hitting reportage, as we began to look at the Earl Of Evil, Goot The Crow.  There was a chapter of Fireheart, and some goundbreaking fashion.  There was a also a very controversial winner.  Take a look at the goodness.  As they say: ‘Mr Sherby57, with theese Post From The Past, you are really spoiling us’.

1. Pink Panties – A Poem – A post that combines my two favourite things: Poetry and Pink Panties. What more could you want?

Disclaimer – This is an extremely self-indulgent feature and is a cynical attempt to recycle stuff that I have written in the past in the vain hope that someone will actually read them. Please feel free to slag off “Post From The Past” to your hearts content.

The 57 Principles Of Sherby

To help guide you on your path to enlightenment, and as part of the wonderful “Sherby57 Project“, I introduce to you the 57 Principles of Sherby.  These are 57 ancient secrets that can help you live a better, more aware, life.  They have been studied by generations of members of The Sacred Order of Sherby57, and have become a portal in to a higher state of being.

Now, these aren’t a list of rules that you must follow, like those silly ten commandments.   The Principles of Sherby are a much more subtle beast than that.  Read them, but don’t try to understand them, just let them seep in to you subconscious.  Let them roll over the core of your understanding, and let them slowly alter your mindframe like an army of nano-memes.  You should expect to be channeling 4 additional realms within the first year of Sherbyhood, so it’s not too taxing.

Don’t worry if they don’t all make sense at once, just pay attention:

1.  Blinking is better exercise than running – for a blind mouse.

2.  The penis is mightier than the bored.

3.  Every dog has its day.  It’s Wednesday.

4.  A fan keeps you nice and cool, unless he is shouting too loud.

14.  When the man is lost at sea, what does he say? “I’m lost! Shit! I can’t believe this is happening to me!”

15.  No, you hang up.

16.  It’s easier for a monkey to catch a fish than it is for a fish to have a party.

18.  I really like chips.

19.  This is my moment. This is my perfect moment, with you.

21.  I’m the leader of the pack. It makes me such a lucky jack. Now, here they are, they’re so appealing. Come on dollies, do your…dealing.

22.  If you suck chocolate, it will melt.

23.   If you’re feeling down, pop a paw in your mouth.

24.  There is many a wise man that has confused a “saddlery” with “Sad Louie”.

25.  Pimpin’ ain’t easy.

26.  A friend in need, is a pain in the arse.  Why can’t they just sort it out themselves?

27.  The hand is quicker than the eye.

28.  Torres? He won’t get a game.

29.  Don’t go jet-skiing if you can’t swim. But if you do, you’ll probably be alright.

30.  Only Patrick Swayze can get away with “sweating in a vest” as a style.

31.  If two trains leave two different places, travelling at two different speeds, who cares?

32.  You can lead a horse to water, but only if you’ve been trained.

33.  If you have a pie, it’s nice with a bit of gravy.

34.  Charlie Chalk was a clown living on a desert island.  

35.  Man cannot live by bread alone, try a sunflower spread as a healthy alternative to butter.

36.  Consider the cat: She sleeps, she shits, she eats. Perfect life.

37.  Always have a spare toilet roll handy. It’s just common sense.

38.  A man can swim, but a fish cannot walk.  Unless it has legs, in which case, is it a fish?

39.  Take that, and party.

40.  They call me the main man. That’s why I do the big jobs.

57. You’ve reached the end, but it is just the beginning.
