No, Macca was. Get him! I’ll back you up (by leaning round behind you and saying “yeah” menacingly when you threaten him).
Say paulberserker, just out of curiosity. What type of biscuit would one use on Macca? 
Is this an appropriate time to mention something that’s been on my mind . . knob cheese and circumcision; errr caue and effect and errr all that. Any camping field reports, any views. I’m assuming . . . never mind . . .
Don’t go there.
Can you imagine the pong off all of Mr Blaine when he finishes? Gah.
a great big one that would not only crush him but devour his soul in a reverse biscuit / human situation, and also wipe clean everyones memory of the fucking beatles and wings and whatever else dogshit hes ever done.
calling me a cunt?
he’ll rue the fucking day, stupid doe eyed pegleg marrying motherfucker. jjimm et al are welcome to come along, am banna chin him, and good.
on a lighter note, i may steal his child when its born and raise it as the anti beatles, a crusader against overrated plink plonk ‘theyre genius’ pop music. using an orchestra and a bunch of backwards special effects does not make you a musical pioneer.
gaaaa!
:mad: :mad: :mad:
and as for his ‘paintings’, i was so mad, i e-mailed the curator of the gallery his shit was at bollocking him on wasting wall space.
I failed utterly to notice Ken’s palace. Was it the one with all the cranes sticking out of it?
I thought that with all that building work, they could have used Blaine as a wrecking ball.
Yacunt.
I think you’re being at bit hard on 75%[sup]1[/sup] of the The Beatles, whose wide-reaching influence is undeniable. However, given that Macca started it, I can let it slip this time.
- Okay, 50%
Don’t do it. I’ve read (on the internet!) that Blaine has a 1920’s Style Death Ray in that blanket.
Is there a webcam available somewhere I can log on and see him?
There is a webcam available here, but it’ll cost ya. 
Isn’t wishing death on someone disallowed in The Pit?
Esprix
You may want to reread that sticky. That rule refers to wishing death on another poster, not to a public figure.
Haj
paulberserker, you for got to trash McCartney for sticking his first wife behind a keyboard on stage with him for all those years touring and denying work to lots of deserving keyboard players with actual musical ability. Bet the damn thing wasn’t even plugged in…
As for Blaine’s webcam, you mean people are actaully paying to look at a dirty smelly cunt in a box and an old Times Square-style
peep show isn’t involved?
Hmmm, perhaps, but it’s still tacky.
Oh, wait - everyone here keeps telling me it’s okay that some British pride themselves on being tacky.
Never mind.
Esprix
i like being tacky. and i never wished death on him. i merely stated what some ‘experts’ are supposing. impacts against his box may cause a heart attack in his weakened state. not my fault if biscuits are responsible. it could be due to some clown with an egg. wait until the literal fireworks start.
theres a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path.
and as for linda mccartney, what do you call a dog with wings?
Esprix, you’re starting to appear a little pathetic. We get it already that you’d like us all to cheer, whoop and generally come in our pants at the idea of Blaine-in-a-box and are pissed off that this isn’t the case. We get it that you are apparently simply incapable either of seeing the humour in the situation or of understandiing hyperbole and rhetoric. We get it that you can’t see the difference between paul actually wishing death on someone and simply joking that one well placed biscuit and it’ll be all over.
Really. We get it all. You don’t like us any more and we weep for the fact. I’ve checked the box marked “Esprix doesn’t like us” and I’ve wept and everything.
Satisfied?
pan
thankyou kindly kabbes
Seen those Linda McCartney Sausages?
You’d think they’d have at least buried the poor woman.
I meant to post this when all the brou-ha-ha was going on about “oh, why is he getting such a terrible reception in London…?”. But now seems as good a time as any.
A correspondant to BBC Online (I’ll find a link if you really, really want one) wrote a couple of weeks back:
Wow… I mean… wow…
What a bunch of vindictive pricks.
Don’t get me wrong, I couldn’t possibly give less of a fuck about this latest stunt. I heard about it a couple weeks ago, shrugged my shoulders, and said something along the lines of whudeva. It’s a stunt, and only a stunt. I’ve seen a few interviews with him, I saw his special, and I haven’t come away with any impression other than “he’s kind of a mensch.” In fact, my opinion on him has actually improved since the beginning of the box debacle. Sitting up there, taking it in stride, responding to assholes with a friendly wave (and yes, I’m sure he knows the international sign for wanker, everybody knows, even Americans.) I especially liked that anecdote about his girlfriend pelting that prick who pelted the box. Now that’s funny.
Once again, don’t get me wrong, I’m no fan. I liked his sleight of hand stuff but haven’t paid much attention to him since then. But if the very best you can come up with against him is “what a stupid stunt”, how does this deserve anybody’s ire? Because he’s getting paid? I think the lottery is pretty fucking stupid too, but I’m not holding that against anybody.
I singled out your quote simply because, of all the (IMHO) offenders here, you’re the one I’ve respected the most in other contexts.
What is he trying to tell you that’s false?
How is he thinking you’re naive? How is this any worse than being in a block of ice? Should he be punished for not performing a cool stunt? I mean, if I tell a joke that I think will get a laugh, but it doesn’t, should people start egging me? I don’t wanna sound accusatory, but it kinda sounds like you’re reaching for some kind of defense for schoolyard-level mockery.
wierdwithwords, are you friends with Esprix by any chance?
and who says americans dont understand irony. if you’ve actually read through the entire thread, shouldnt you have clocked the fact we’ve turned from slight vehemence, to a well illustrated discussion of slight of hand/ mind tricks, to indifference and then to idiotic comedy?
hellfire, some of you dopers make me laugh
England is not like the USA!
we dont have the same ‘hey man, what Blaines doings really cool’ type attitude you appear to get from people in new york from the TV specials ive seen on his other ‘magic’ tricks (the ice block, pole stand etc). most people who’ve been to see him look for 2 minutes, go ‘uh. a man in a box’ and then move along to look at the more interesting tourist attractions we have on the south bank. big wow. again, you make yourself a target, and people will use you for one. especially over here.
because im sure if he was doing this trick in times square EVERYONE would be on his side.
im baffled as to why everyone thinks its so serious…
:rolleyes:
