Sean!!! YOU ARE HILARIOUS!  I finished reading your post with Christopher Walken's delicious accent in my head!  :)   It also reminded me of that music video a few years ago where he was dancing through a hotel lobby? Or some building, and he was such a beautiful dancer.........ahhhh...

Charp, you have exceptional taste!  Fatboy Slim's 'Weapon of Choice' is an awesome video (I haven't been able to post it here---but search 'Weapon of Choice video' and you can see it).  I hate Dancing With  The Stars----------but I always wanted Walken to go on that show and kick everybody's ass.  I'd watch with bells on.

His face takes up the entire avatar, like he's alive... everytime I sign in and the site says 'Hello, Sean'-----------I see his face and I hear his voice saying it.  It's cool. 

Isn't it hilarious reading my post with HIS voice?

When I moved in to my house 8 years ago, we had it re-painted.  The guy with the best price who's van we saw all over town was named 'Joe'.  My wife hired him sight unseen after seeing his work.  I took off to deal with him and I was floored........ he was 85% Christopher Walken and 15% Steve Buschemi...... and he talked JUST LIKE WALKEN!  I made excuses to go out to talk with him.  He even caught me taking pictures of him------and I thought he might kill me.  But he thought I was photographing before /after shots of the house and wanted a set for his advertising (I don't know where those pics are-----probably storage).  He was VERRRY odd, which was par for the course and I tell stories about him with a Walken accent (some funny things happened during the job) that just won't do him justice if I typed them here.

He was 1/2 the price and did a great job, BTW.

OMG!! (I NEVER use that phrase!) but, OMG!!  I got choked on M&Ms when I was reading this, mainly because I started reading the paragraph about you moving into your house, IN CHRISTOPHER WALKEN'S VOICE!! You know, I'm approaching 49 years old- 50 when the Mayan Calendar runs out in 2012, and I can not stop laughing about the idea of reading text in Mr. Walken's distinct voice!  What is wrong with me?? My husband is at the airport and when he called, I could hardly talk because this has struck me sooo funny!  Sean- you deserve an award!  I don't know if it's because of the stress over this OBL thing, and gas prices or what......but you, sir, have cracked me up beyond repair!  And I thank you   :)   I really wish I could half-way do that accent, though. Last year at Star Wars Weekend, my little brother (he's 40 and has young kids like you), started talking like Doofenschmirtz from Phineas and Ferb in the T-Rex Restaurant in Orlando, and I literally could not stop laughing for 2 hours! His wife (my beloved sister-in -law) was hitting him and telling him to stop, but his kids and I kept egging him on!  Anywho- Thanks for putting that awesome-ness on here!

Charp, that's so funny because I call my 2 year old 'Doofenschmirtz'....and she answers to it without blinking... Her name is Victoria, but I rarely call her that.  Usually she is Schmoob and her 6 year old sister Elizabeth is Boo...

I have a serious problem now because I enjoy re-reading what I typed in Walken's voice.  I need help. ;)

Here's Why The World Is Going To End On May 21, 2011

Gus Lubin

We picked up a pamphlet in Union Square to see why so many people are talking about the world ending on May 21, 2011.

It turns out the theory comes down to two numerological proofs.

The first proof is based on Genesis 7:4, when God said to Noah: "Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made."

When God referred to seven days, he meant both seven days and seven thousand years, because "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." The flood occurred in 4990 BC. Seven thousand years later is 2011.


The second proof looks at the significance of the number of days between the Crucifixion and May 21, 2011.

There are 722,500 days between these dates. 722,500 is a significant number because it is composed of the significant numbers 5x10x17x5x10x17. Five signifies redemption; ten signifies completion; and 17 signifies heaven. The numbers represent the day of redemption (5) and the end of the Christian era (10) and the ascent to heaven (17) -- and these factors are doubled for added significance.

We'll know for sure soon.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm NOT preaching... I just thought it was cool that there's a prediction that the dead will walk the Earth tomorrow at 6pm!

Well, I'm going to a B-day party for me and a couple friends. We are all born within a couple dates of each other. So I guess I'll go out "tanked" fighting evil zombies. How cool of a B-day present is that. ::)

I'm sure Maria would like for Arnold to say this to HER:  "I'm HERE!!  Kill me!!  KILL ME!!!"
