Post From The Past – October 2008

by sherby57

Like a one-man curtain-twitching squad, I return to bring you the best posts from October 2008.  Actually, it’s all of them.

12. Post From The Past – October 2007 – A look back at a packed month, which included: some poems, slagging off Bullseye, something about Mr Burley, Mr Quiff and much, much more. Check it out now, puncho rudder.

11. Search Me – A look at some of the search terms that brought people to Sherby57.  These include ‘emmerdale hardcore anal’ and ‘green bear+the nuzzler’.  Utterly baffling.

10. My Art – More IPhone People – Some portraits done on an iPhone.  One day, the true identities of these people will be revealed.

9. Toast Of The Town – A look back at the whole Toastergate scandal, one of the most harrowing episodes in recent Warrington history.

8. Join Cozzy’s Club! – It seems that I was the only person who could remember the old TV show, Cozzy’s Club.  That’s why I publicised its new web-site.  Sadly, although the web-site still exists, it hasn’t been updated for quite some time.

7. MC Lizzy Duke – A link to the lyrics of MC Lizzy Duke’s hit rap track, Straight outta Swansea.  A seminal classic.

6. A Hazard of Parsnips – An Experiment – A post which heralded the arrival of one of the most-loved and cutting edge works of fiction of the twenty-first century.

5. Waugh On Corruption – Disturbing news about an attempt to rig a poll about one of my jokes.

4. A Hilarious A-Team Joke – An exceptionally funny joke about one of the members of The A-Team, even if I do say o myself.  You even have the opportunity to vote on how good you think it is.  Currently the voting is: Hilarious, 37%; Funny, 16%; Rubbish, 47%.  Please see item 5 on why the ‘Rubbish’ category is doing so well.  If you want to aid justice, go vote.

3. Me Weak – My exploits with my friend, Bontempi, stranded in an igloo, bombarded by orbs.

2. Richie Cunningham’s Hair – An otherworldly adventure prompted by my ponderment of Richie Cunningham’s barnet.

1. A Hazard of Parsnips – Chapters 1 & 2 – The first two chapters of the classic novel. You read them, you loved them, you want to read them again.  When will the next chapter arrive? I’m afraid you’ll have to ask Dr Angel.

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.

Super Sherby57 Mouse

by sherby57

Those of you with exceptionally good memories and an obsessive nature will remember the comments section of Sherby57 Honoured, in which I make first mention of a mouse grafted with the DNA of Sherby57.  Well, it’s time for an update.

The genetically altered mouse grew within its artificial womb at an alarming rate and was the size of a cat within a week.   It was also glowing and hovering 3 feet off the table.  At this point, we thought it was probably safe to remove it from the womb.   We needn’t have worried.

Apart from the glowing and the floating, the mouse was unusual in that it just seemed to be listening to us and wasn’t interesting in eating cheese and other mousey activities.  Three days later, we learned that it had been listening to us because he decided to start a conversation with us.   That’s not what mice usually do.  Having absorbed human language in 3 days, the mouse, now calling himself Martin, told us that he had a thirst for knowledge and could somebody teach him to read.  So we did.  Martin loves Mills and Boon novels.

Now educated to a degree-level, Martin has realised his special nature and is looking to develop his super-mousian abilities for the benefit of humankind.  We’ve managed to put him in touch with Warrington vigilante, The Masked Avenger, and they’ve been training together for weeks.   We’ll keep you in touch with his progress, but in the mean time, if you see a cat-sized mouse flying through the sky, don’t worry – he’s on our side.

Post From The Past – September 2008

by sherby57

Post From The Past fans rejoice! It’s time for this month’s….wait for it….Post From The Past!! September 2008 was a busy month for Sherby57, so let’s get stuck in:

15.  Chester Neat-O - Fireheart! superfan, Chester Spangleton, made a rare blog update, and we celebrate this fact here.  Chester has not updated his blog since 11th September 2008, and we’re all very worried about him.  Chester, if you’re out there, please get in touch.

14.  Crow History - Bits and pieces related to our endless quest to squash Goot The Crow’s evil empire.

13.  A Joke I Was Once Told –  The more astute amongst you will have realised that this joke was terrible. However, it was one that I was genuinely told, and so it was important to pass it on. Is there hidden meaning contained within its weak punnage?

12.  Post From The Past – September 2007 – September 2007 was an interesting month in the life of Sherby57.  There is a video of Jimmy Cricket, Jarvis Cocker receives an award, there’s a photo of me having a good time with two of Eastenders’ finest and there is an extract from an extremely erotic novel.  What more could you want?

11.  A New Fragrance For Men - Are you a man? Would you like to smell like pink panties? If so, then click this link and read all about a fantastic new aftershave.

10.  My Art – IPhone Boy -  My first foray in to IPhone based art.  Who is the boy in the picture?  Do you recognise him? You should, by now, have realised that everything here is connected.

9.  Mindy Ruson’s Style Emporium - My good friend Mindy Ruson started a blog, and did not continue.  It’s not too late to start a campaign to get her to update her (would be) wonderful blog.

8.  Toaster Amnesty Hits Warrington - A Nazi-style toaster collection took place in Warringon, in a quest to end toaster-related crime.  Did it work? And what was the sinister reason behind the confiscations?

7.  My Art – IPhone Boy 2 - Another moving portrait, another mystery.  Who is this second man? Why do his eyes glow red?

6.  Toast Conspiracy? - A follow up article on the infamous Warrington toaster amnesty.  Contains the “Sherby57 Comment of the Year 2008″ from Russell Hobbs.

5.  Hans Across America - My good buddy, Hans Klaussner, fills us in on his transatlantic adventure.

4.  Toast Me – A Poem - Emotional poetry was the only was I could describe the horror of Toastergate.

3.  Simon Cowell: Dream Smasher - A short discourse on the nature of Simon Cowell’s impact on the war for reality.

2.  Never Say Sherby57 on TV Again - A TV review including the documentary, Inside The Institute, and the reality TV classic, Celeb Kebab House.

1.  My Dragon’s Den Pitch - A verbatim transcript of my failed Dragon’s Den pitch.  I just don’t understand why they didn’t invest, they’ve lost themselves an awful lot of money. Idiots.

On that sour note, we conclude this months journey of reminiscence. Until next month, keep reading.

TS57P – Hurley Burley

by sherby57

The opening entries of The Sherby57 Project looked at the events that led to creation of this blog, the first couple of posts, and their impact on the history of the universe (all documented in Fire In My Heart).  They were certainly momentous times, and the world was left a better place on 1st June 2007, with the creation of the Fireheart myth.  Surely that would have been enough for one day, but those who are observant amongst you may have noticed a two more posts on that historic day, the first of which was simply titled Legends.  This post mainly consists of the following photograph:

Legends

It was taken in the upstairs venue at The White Hart pub in Warrington.  The walls are decorated with photos of various musicians.  You can clearly see Kurt Cobain, David Bowie, and Marvin Gaye – all of whom are undeniably legends of popular music.   Look at the photo again, and ask yourself: who’s that in the middle of them all? Who’s that taking the prime position on a wall dedicated to the gods of music? That man, my friend, is Mr David Burley, and he is a key figure in the Sherby57 Project.

It wouldn’t be fair to call Dave the messiah – he’s far too modest to accept such a title, but he is definitely an inspiration and an example on the right way to live your lives.  Although Dave has no official affiliation with the Sacred Order of Sherby57, he is revered by the monks for his incredible zest for life, his clarity of thought, and his magnanimous manner.  Dave is able to spread his wisdom simply and succinctly through proclamations such as “Enjoy the drink, enjoy the dancing, enjoy the do”, and “Let’s get shitfaced”.   He also is able to share his message through the use of his alter ego, Bobby B.  An example of his work came in the post “Bobby B Introduces Black Manalishi“, which contains the following video clips:

Mere human words cannot do justice to the sheer enthusiasm that Dave conveys whilst introducing Warrington-based band Black Manalishi.  Even without espousing an obvious message, his actions encouraged all those in attendance to better their lives.

Dave has had an immense impact on the internet as a whole, and in the post “Dave’s Greatest Hits“, I explored some of the search terms that people have used to find this blog.  There are some obvious ones such as “Dave Burley”, which is to be expected for someone with so many followers.  What Dave is able to do however is attract hits from people searching for things such as “twenty seven years later cabbages”, and “pictures of classic bobs”.  Even though these things don’t directly relate to him, he is able to mystically draw these people to learn from the wisdom of Sherby57.

This is only the first encounter that Dave will have with The Sherby57 Project, but rest assured there will be more to come.  In the mean time, check out his dedicated fan page here.
