Live, From Lake Wobegon

I am not making up any of this in any way. Prepare to be amazed… or find me even stranger than usual.  Either way, it’ll be funny.

I was listening to and singing along with Richard Cheese’s first CD on my way home from work this evening.  Richard Cheese, if you don’t know, performs lounge-style covers of popular songs that are in no way even CLOSE to the lounge genre.  It’s really, really good stuff, mellow, dirty and uplifting all at the same time.  I was halfway through Buddy Holly as I exited my car and entered my apartment; I finished it upon getting inside, cracked open a beer, and then proceeded to deliver the following monologue totally ad-libbed out loud in my apartment in (what I felt was) a nearly pitch- and pacing-perfect Garrison Keillor voice.  It felt like a natural extension of the pitch of Buddy Holly, so I went with it, and it turned out pretty decent, though the timing is definitely from his older-school, more deliberate pace, the one with which I grew up.  I will admit some Eddie Izzard started to creep in around paragraph four, but I got it out by the end.  Who cares, I’ve got beer.

Here’s as much as I can remember; punctuation denotes vocal timing as opposed to grammatical correctness.  Try reading this aloud in your OWN Garrison Keillor voice, you’ll see what I mean.  And if you’re really, really lucky I’ll find a way to post an actual audio version of this soon.

Roll For Initiative

by Sean on August 7th, 2010

We live in a world where weapon technology has vastly outpaced technologies capable of defending against that weapon.  For example: intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) give us the ability to annihilate an entire city anywhere on the planet with very little notice, but our ability to defend against ICBMs has only recently become possible.  Even relatively easy-to-acquire firearms have unsatisfactory defensive options (such as Kevlar materials and camoflague techniques) when compared to traditional melee weapons and suits of armor.  Particularly in the case of lethal weapons (like firearms) used by both sides in any given conflict, victory rests less and less with who happens to be wearing body armor and more with who simply fires first.  Go watch “The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly”, you’ll see what I’m talking about.  No no, I’ll wait.

Googling “Sean Coincon” Is Boring

by Sean on July 30th, 2010
Posted In: Blogs, Blogs, sean

…And the title of the post pretty much says it all.  That fact that “Wasabisoft – Sean Coincon Has An Eleven Inch Penis?“  is the first entry could potentially cast a misleading light is unavoidable at this point, but I am consoled by the fact that actually reading the post serves to rearrange the set lighting to something a bit more photographic.  Besides, what better way to illustrate my love of satire?  Anyways.

How To Be An Evil Overlord (SUPER STOLEN)

Yes, this has been posted once before by me, and isn’t even original work, really.  The vast majority of these were compilation work on my part, but a few are mine alone.  Enjoy, until I come up with something legitimate to post.

sean …and a shiny penny to whoever makes THAT connection. Anyways.

So in an extremely vague effort to connect to people randomly WITHOUT having to wade through a sea of cocks, I’ve got an account on Formspring.  Feel free to ask me what the fuck ever crosses your mind; the format literally GUARANTEES I won’t be as long-winded as usual.  It’s a celebration, bitches.  Enjoy yourself.

My next beard project

I’ve decided on my next facial hair experiment. I was rockin the full beard, but decided tonight to shave it in favor of a father of Doctor McNinja ‘stach. My next project is one that takes real balls. Seriously, if you don’t have class S balls, you will not have the ability to grow this one.

Take a gander at this.

Where has-a the Gerry been?!

by gerry on May 12th, 2010

gerryAround actually. I recently started a new job doing the website for a local attorney running for congress. Also, I’ve been totally sucked into Valkyria Chronicles. If you were to put this game and Final Fantasy Tactics in PS1/2 controller terms, FFT would be the D-pad and Valkyria Chronicles would be the analog stick. Instead of the grid from FFT, you have a stamina bar and you can move anywhere you want until said stamina bar runs out. Also instead of swords and magic, you have WW2 era guns and tanks.

I’ve also been dabbling in 3D Dot Game Heroes where I’ve designed my hero to look like the Vic Viper from Gradius. Doctor Dic had an urgent message for me. It said, “Dash Boots Get! You can now run by holding Square.” The only thing missing from the scene was the Megaman boss weapon GET music. There have also been a few references to Demon’s Soul already as well.

These two games are slowly reminding me why I loved Playstation last gen.

Also, I leave you with this amazing gem.

Identity Images

seanIn Greek mythology there was a hero named Theseus, renowned for various acts of heroism both dramatic and pedestrian, but most famous for slaying the Minotaur at the center of the labyrinth at Minos.  Upon his triumphant return voyage to Athens, his ship was moored in the Athenian harbor as a national treasure.  However, rather than being permanently moored and allowed to decay (like many other historical sites) the ship was kept in a seaworthy state so that it could be used to ferry city officials to various festivals on neighboring islands.  Over the centuries, this meant that new ship pieces and hull patches were applied to the wooden ship as parts of it slowly rotted away… with the end result that, one day, every single plank of the ship had been replaced.  In the minds of the Athenians (and a vast multitude of philosophers since) this raised a most intriguing question: since every last part of the Ship of Theseus has now been replaced, is the boat moored in the harbor of Athens actually the Ship of Theseus?  Are the ship of legend and the ship today “the same” ship?

False Attractors

sean So… for those of you who are not yet aware, here’s a summary: I managed to land a job in Hawaii, I moved here roughly three weeks ago and have been unnecessarily busy getting temporary logistics and job-related rigmarole worked out… and that’s where I am/have been.  Sarah will be moving here in late July or so, once she finishes college and the cats’ quarantine window opens.  Hawaii doesn’t play.

As such, I’ve been way too distracted to be angry at or insightful about anything; so here’s a long-winded and vaguely poignant treatise I wrote a few weeks ago to help out Sarah on something she was doing for school.  Her resulting paper was excellent, but I fear it may have fallen upon deaf ears; ironically, students in Communications classes seem to be those individuals who are least interested in hearing the ideas of others.  And they chew their gum with their mouths open, belying an intelligence not dissimilar from many other ruminant mammals.  Please note for the record that this was an excellent opportunity to use the meme “sheeple” and I exhibited remarkable restraint for a writer/satirist/philosopher of my modest caliber.  I hope this can somehow begin to make up for my incredibly tasteless use of the “Sally and Mindy Super-Hottie” metaphor back in the day.  Enjoy!
