the photos i posted to facebook are the only other photos in ‘so you want to be a dancer’ book of the ‘gallagher’-esque chap. i did buy the book a few years ago – on your recommendation. i don’t have it anymore, although you would be welcome to it. peter serafinowicz is apparently playing mccartney in the ‘yellow submarine’ CGI production from robert zemekis. he also voiced darth maul in ‘the phantom menace’. and no, i’m not related to moe.
sorry, forgot to thank esteban for bringing ‘robotix’ to further recognition – a really underrated and overlooked cartoon and toyline.
Hi David. Did you know if you register the email address you use here with gravitar.com, you can assign an avatar that will show up on this site? Otherwise you just get the generic star!
As for that book, we haven’t seen inside it since like 1989, but the pictures of that guy are as nonsensical as I remember. Reminds me of when I was a kid and I’d see pictures of WWF wrestlers from the 70’s or early 80’s, and be like, “who are these weirdos?”
David pointed out I already did “What Ever Happened To?” Michael Flatley in episode 31 back in May 2006. Almost six years (and 158 episodes) later, I repeated myself. Time flies!
And thanks again for posting those So You Want To Be A Dancer photos :)
i’ve just signed up with gravatar using the picture of myself wearing the ‘people like you should die’ t-shirt. hope having my face on your site doesn’t cause it to crash.
