The World of Sherby57

Because I’m worth it

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.

5.  To barp is to be human.

6.  Never Eat Shredded Wheat

8.  It’s easier for a rich man to get in to Heaven if he bribes the bouncers.

9.  Can a man eat a pan? Only if the pan eats the man.

10.  Sometimes its easier to write ten things, than attempt to write 57.

11.  1 + 1 = 2. Or is it?

13.  Don’t start. He’s not worth it.

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.

17.  It’s nice to have brains, but only if you don’t have nice tits.

18.  I really like chips.

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

20.  The old man on the mountain once said, “Come what may, it will rain in May.  If you think I’m lying, then I’ll fucking stab your eyes out with this stick. Cunt.”

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.

41.  A twitch is never as good as an itch.

42.  The wise man knows when his eggs are beaten.

42.  Indecision is the better part of squalor.

43.  Only wear a white apron if you don’t mind it getting stained.

45.  If you feel sleepy, have a snooze.

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

Richie Cunningham’s Hair

Over the weekend, I had something of a countdown conundrum to mull over.  I couldn’t decide whether or not Richie Cunningham was truly ginger or whether his head was a holographic representation of satan (original evil).  I spent a good hour or two googling it, but even the mighty G has its limits.  It seemed I had no other choice than fictional reality creation.

I donned my ceremonial thong and cape and adopted the infamously tricky “Pomegranate Position”.  With the smell of incense and freshly fried chips filling my nostrils, I began to sink deeper and deeper in to a meditative trance.  Being something of an expert, it takes me only 4-5 hours to reach my spiritual plateau and begin commune with my sprit guide, former Wimbledon goalkeeper, Hans Segers.  Between us, Hans and I, constructed a universe based loosely on “The Kids of Degrassi Street”, although Hans introduced a few elements from “Degrassi Junior High” (much to my chagrin) .

Anyway, I floated, in my astral form, through this terrifying landscape, hoping and praying for answers.  I hunted high and low, very much in the style of A-Ha.  It was proving more fruitless than my googling.  Then as I flew high above the rooftops, I spotted a sliver spec, winking at me.  I approached with haste and before I knew it, found myself enveloped in a cosmic napsack! And to make matters even crazier, Hans Segers was nowhere to be found!

I trod carefully up and down the napsack, looking for revelation, when I heard a booming voice:

“Go lo, wherest though roam, young warrior, though beating breast may yet send sense through reason.”

“What the frig does that mean?”, I humbly replied.

With a flash, a being strongly resembling Wizbit appeared before my very eyes.

“I am not Wizbit,” said he, “I am your own mind connecting directly to the universe. Your quest is at an end, you already know the answers of which you seek.”

I opened my eyes, and I was back in my living room, thong and cape drenched in sweat, panting like a tired dog. Of course, I knew the answer. He really is just a ginger.

And with that, I made a brew.

St Helensian for Beginners – Lesson 1

Here at Sherby57 we don’t just like to inform and entertain, we also like to educate.  I’ve been studying for many years the arcane language of the people of St Helens and have been asked by many for some advice on the basics. So here is the first easy lesson.

Its usually a simple task to go into a chippy and order. Not so if you happen to stray into St Helens. I’ll start with two of the more common words used by the average St Helener.

Split = Chips and Peas

Special = Potato Scallop or Fritter.

 Now these may seem straightforward, but because they resemble words in English then confusion could ensue. For example, what would happen if you asked for a Banana Split in St Helens? Nobody wants to eat a banana with peas and chips.

Also be careful if you think about attending the Special Olympics in St Helens. If you turn up you will witness the local sport of racing battered potato slice around a track made from an old cardboard box.

Remember these easy rules and you can enjoy a tasty treat.

Until the next lesson
