Bill From Kill Bill, Kills Himself.

June 4, 2009 | 5 Comments

Is This Irony?

Was looking for tasteful pornography earlier, and instead stumbled across the news that actor David Carradine, star of Kill Bill Vol 1 and Vol 2, has died.

David Carradine, with Jesus now.

David Carradine, with Jesus now.

After the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Monkeybone, and Gandhi, Kill Bill (Vol 1) is probably one of my favourite movies of all time, so I was more than a little bummed to hear about this. Apparently it was suicide as well. Hectic.

“Kung Fu” and “Kill Bill” actor David Carradine was found dead Thursday in a Bangkok hotel room, his manager told FOX News.

According to police, the 72-year-old actor appeared to have hanged himself.

The officer responsible for investigating the death, Teerapop Luanseng, said Carradine was staying at a suite at the luxury Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel.

“I can confirm that we found his body, naked, hanging in the closet,” Teerapop said. He said police suspected suicide. [via]

Nice of them to point out that he was found naked. I’m sure it’s something we were all wondering about.

Anyhoo, rest in peace David Carradine, you had a good innings (he was 72).

Cool Guys Don’t Look At Explosions

June 2, 2009 | 3 Comments

They Just Don’t.

Andy Samberg and Will Ferrel singing about how cool guys don’t look at explosions, they just walk away in slow motion.

It’s much harder than it looks though. I tried walking away from an exploding car a few years ago, and ended up with my back on fire. I was buzzing at the time though, so didn’t really feel it, until I arrived at this club in town, hit the dancefloor, and then everyone was like, “Shaun, man, you’re on fire.” I was like, “Yeah, I know, it’s a new dance move I have perfected. I call it the Funky Chipmunk.” And then they were like, “No dude, you are literally on fire!”

True story.

Quick Question

June 2, 2009 | No Comments

Something Which I’m Sure We All Go Through

When you come out a bathroom and are walking toward people, do you worry for a split second that you haven’t zipped up and that your winky is chilling outside?

A thought which often occurs.

A thought which often occurs.

Hey? Is it just me?

Imagine that happened, it would be pretty bad. Well, not as bad as when you wear boxer shorts, and you don’t shake off properly, and then the latecomers end up running down your leg, and you’re wearing thin camel chinos, so everyone in the office can see what’s just happened.

Yeah, that wouldn’t be very pleasant.
