The World of Sherby57

Because I’m worth it

TS57P – Games, Puzzles and Lies

It’s yet another entry in The Sherby57 Project, your guide to living a spiritually enlightened life.

The first thing we’re going to look at is Computer Game Review, from 4th June 2007.  On the face of it, this looks to be a straightforward feature highlighting some recently released computer games.  However, on slightly closer inspection, you may notice that these titles have been developed for out of date platforms, such as the Spectrum 48K, and the Dragon 32.  How can it be possible that someone was still releasing games for such prehistoric computers in the year 2007??  The simple answer to this, my friend, is The Sherby57 Project.

By 2007, home computers had become so powerful that they were beginning bypass human brainwave patterns.  By selecting older computers, such as the Spectrum, Sherby57 was able to alter the consciousness of anyone playing these titles.  On the face of it, this might seem somewhat unethical.  If you think that though, you’re wrong – Sherby57 is always correct, and therefore, ipso facto, is always morally bang on.  Were you one of the lucky people to buy games such as Richard Madeley’s International Nose-Bleed Championship Manager 2007, Office Molester 2: See You In Court or Shoot My Face?  If so, then you are likely to have experienced a 50% increase in your IQ, and a new found desire to make world peace a reality.   I believe the games are still available if you look hard enough.

The post Puzzle Corner, published on the 9th June 2007, took a somewhat more subtle approach to brain rearrangement.  The three, seemingly simple, puzzles were designed to encourage mental acuity by focusing thought patterns in to a specific pattern.  To be honest, it’s a bit complicated to explain here, so it is best served with an example of its results.  Some time in early September 2007, local baker Graham Golden (not real name) was struggling to make a living due to his inabilty to remember the recipe for bread.   At the suggestion of a friend, he searched the internet for some simple puzzles to stimulate his paltry mind.  Luckily for him, he stumbled across Puzzle Corner. He started by trying to work out which spider was connected to the red circle, and spent many an hour looking for a solution.  By the time he had completed the third challenge, ‘who am I?’, he was a man transformed.  Graham is now one of the top psychic billiards players in the world, and fought in the recent transdimensional ‘ball-bag’ war, on the side of justice.

Finally, for today, we come to One Was a Stunner, One Was a Dog, a brain teaser published on 19th October 2007.  The challenge that was set was thus:

A man walks into a pub accompanied by several of his work colleagues.  The group enjoy an evenings drinking and dancing in the said public house.  The man is not out of sight of his colleagues for more than 2-3 minutes in the whole night (allowing for toilet breaks).  They all leave suitably drunken.

On the Monday morning the man tells his workmates that he had sexual relations with two women within the pub walls. He leaves the clue “One was a stunner, one was a dog”. How did this happen? Please leave comments below with your solutions.

As yet, no one has given the correct answer, despite several attempts on the comments section of the post.  The secret with this riddle is that the answer is incredibly simple, so much so that to answer it will bring clarity to much of the universe.  I cannot tell you the answer, you must discover it for yourself.

Keep on thinking.

Post From The Past – August 2008

Please enjoy the most fantabulous posts from that historic month, August 2008:

4. Post From The Past – August 2007 – This was quite a momentous month for Post From The Past, with a whole 26 posts to choose from.  And being the freak that I am, I, of course, made sure that I listed each and every one of them.  They include such gems as a man’s finger, some men on a children’s playground, a cute kitten, a story about a peg on a penis, and much, much more.

3. Hot Shower – Fireheart Movie Rumour – Any information on the Fireheart! movie is exciting, but this also includes the lyrics for one of the steamiest (pun intended) songs of all time.

2. Reality Vomit – An account of a rather interesting evening I had, watching a universe rebooting.

1. Missing Todd – A photo of the shrine, and a moving poem, bring to life the emotion of missing Toddy.

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?

Post From The Past – June 2008

Hey gang. Here’s the countdown of the best posts from June 2008:

1.  Post From The Past – June 2007 - There is something really depressing about the only item to appear in ‘Post From The Past’ being another entry from ‘Post From The Past’; I’m not a huge fan of the format to begin with.  That said, there are some excellent posts to check out if you do follow the link, including:  the first two chapters of legendary serial Fireheart, some groundbreaking, phenomenal animations, a photo of ‘Mr Warrington’ Dave Burley, some computer game reviews, some videos of ‘Mr Boombastic’ Dave Burley, and much, much (some) more.

Does it come across as particularly pathetic that I’n trying to peddle posts that I made two years ago?  Answers on a postcard to Sherby57 Towers.

Post From The Past – May 2008

I’ve finally caught up and am actually writing “Post From The Past” in the month that I’m supposed to.  In my haste to catch up, I’ve kind of stopped explaining what PFTP is about (even though it’s probably pretty self evident).   The general gist is that I do a countdown of the best (well actually it’s all) posts from this month, except a year ago.  Or something.  At some point I forgot to add the disclaimer which succintly sums up my motives:

With that said, here are the posts from May 2008:

4. Post From The Past – May 2007 - There is a danger that mentioning this post could result in the universe collapsing in on itself – is it same to mention a Post From The Past in Post From The Past? I’ll guess we’ll soon find out.  This post marks the real beginning of my self loathing.

3. My Art – Bored In a Meeting - A devastating piece of work, illustrating with great gusto the futility of the modern workplace. 

2. Happy Birthday to Sher-bee (me)  - Nobody who was at the Sherby57 birthday bash last year will ever forget the carnage.  New bonds were forged that day – and as many lives destroyed.  And the party bags were immense.

1. Bit of a Dark Rug – A Poem  - One of the burdens of the modern world is the trauma of having a slightly dark rug.  This poem got really inside the issue and changed quite a few opinions in parliament. Is it any coincidence that the “Incrementally Darkened Floor Coverings Bill” was passed within weeks of the publication of this post?  Truly life changing.

Sherby57 out.
