Month: February 2006

I’ve spent way too much time there already, so in an attempt to get it out of my system I’m blogging it. Yes, ChuckNorrisFacts.com.

Here’s a sampling of my favourites:

• Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
• Chuck Norris has two speeds. Walk, and Kill.
• When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
• Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.
• Chuck Norris counted to infinity – twice.
• Chuck Norris can divide by zero.
• Chuck Norris doesn’t bowl strikes, he just knocks down one pin and the other nine faint.
• Chuck Norris can touch MC Hammer.
• Chuck Norris did in fact, build Rome in a day.
• Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.

Oh dear, the list is endless… what can I say? The world loves Walker.

Best you go check it out, before a roundhouse kick comes your way.

Never before have I spent so much time doing what feels like so little…

It’s a damn tragedy…

In sympathy to Jason Calacanis’ troubles with legal dummies over the use of the words “For Dummies” in a weblog post headline, and at the suggestion of Jeff Jarvis, I present, ladies and gentlemen (and dummies), my weblog – For Dummies.

Hmmm, now there’s supposed to be a ^TM or ® somewhere…

Oh yeah… Shaun Dewberry’s Weblog®^TM© etc.. etc..

On Saturday we visited the Firkin for a few beers and to celebrate both Klaas’ and Nadia’s birthdays. As always, the Firkin provided great live entertainment.

Sandbox were playing a gig at Firkin for the first time in a couple of months, and the crowd were excited to have them.

We arrived towards the end of their first set, but fortunately there were to be two more later in the evening. The music played by this conventional four piece rock band was mainly cover versions of the classic songs – Live, U2, Green Day and a bunch of other oldies that always go down well with the crowd – but more intruiging were the melodies created by the band themself.

Sometimes fast and energetic, sometimes slow, dark and mysterious, these songs were a welcome surprise during the evening. I’d like to hear more of them. Perhaps I should tune into Highveld’s Homebrew Top Ten…

You can see a few (bad¹) photos I took over on flickr. They’re gonna be playing at The Firkin for the next bunch of Saturdays, so head on over to check them out.

¹ I was experimenting with a few settings on the camera, and I definitely got the lighting wrong.
