Psychic Predictions
by John Walker on May.08, 2006, under The Rest
Here are some predictions for what will happen tonight with Morono-The-Magic, David “Camera Trick” Blaine. Should I be wrong, so be it. But it will look cool if I’m right:
– His world record attempt at holding his breath for nine minutes will not be eligible for inclusion in the Guiness Book of World Records for some obfuscatory reason.
– During his ‘escape’ attempt, he will suddenly look like he’s in incredible trouble, and be about to drown, and people in the crowd will scream and an emergency team will have to rush in. But Blaine will be gone! And appear somewhere else.
– The crowd will drown him for being the most irritating human of all time.
EDIT: Oh, he just did a rubbish anticlimax instead. Nice showmanship Blaine.

I don’t care unless Brian explains it to me.

Brian’s Guide To Making A Public Spectacle Of Yourself
May 9th, 2006 on 05:02
Only, it’d be alright if it was some kind of public spectacle. Even Jackass managed better stunts, with greater humour and less grandiose pretension. I’ve more respect for Dominic Diamond for even considering being nailed to a cross than I have for anything Blaine has done. Maybe it’s the emminent achievability that makes Blaine’s shenanigans so appealing to Americans; a half-assed empathetic goodwill?

I knew about the whole had been breathing oxygen for ages so the breath holding is illegal thing. Wiki told me.

Ah what he got lotion in the tank for his skin! I wanted to see it come off!
May 9th, 2006 on 08:13
See, John, your public demands!
May 9th, 2006 on 11:38
Leave Brian to die a dignified death. It’s clear that his daddy has pulled the feeding tube.

Nick loves to announce this about once every three months.
Sorry I’ve not been able to do them of late. He’ll be back in full force, don’t you worry.
May 9th, 2006 on 12:37
First you bitch about the fact that he’s a shameless self-promoting media whore, and then you bitch because he didn’t do any shameless self-promoting media whoring.
Eh?
May 9th, 2006 on 13:16
Neither of those things happened, but hey – whatever.
May 9th, 2006 on 15:32
What is it with people trying to make insult John? It’s funny.
May 9th, 2006 on 15:32
Oh. Sorry, John. I meant strange.
May 9th, 2006 on 16:23
What is it with people trying to make insult John? It’s funny [strange].
Maddy, I suspect it’s something to do with their having met him.
Ahah! Ahahaha!
Ahhhhh.

How come I don’t have sicko-phantic commenters like Gillen?
“Oh Kieron, I agree with you because you said it. Notice me Kieron. Notice ME!”
That’s the sort of stuff I want from now on.
May 9th, 2006 on 17:58
I don’t think you should be asking for those types of comments.
No, not aahhh.
May 9th, 2006 on 22:59
Re: the Kieron comments. I don’t think the verb is usually “notice”.

I have noticed my appaling grammatical error. Oops.
Oh, and by the way, I now wear glasses.
May 10th, 2006 on 08:36

May 10th, 2006 on 08:38

May 10th, 2006 on 13:30
Is this what you were looking for?
May 10th, 2006 on 13:52
I was more looking for the not rescuing.
May 10th, 2006 on 23:01
I wasn’t trying to insult the Walk-ster, just trying to point out that it appears no matterwhat Blaine did, he couldn’t have won in the eyes of botherer.
And I’m not even going to try and fix that sentence, oh no.
May 10th, 2006 on 23:21
The point still is that he did neither.
