1070: "Dance, you little tw*t!"

A few more cups of tea and I'll break out my tap shoes, too.

But on the subject of talented Northerners, I'm completely horrified to find Sean Bean getting beaten out on the Hello! Magazine polls this week by Gerard Butler (at least, as of this posting). Nothing against Gerard Butler, but Chris raises a good point -- he's the most Scottish-sounding Spartan ever.

I reminded Chris that if movies and TV have taught us one thing about antiquity, it's that everyone spoke with BBC-ready, RADA-coached accents. Also, hasn't TV and film shown us that Sean Bean was one of the most valiant and skilled soldiers in every era of human history?

How would the Peninsular War have played out if not for his efforts? And remember the time he was in the SAS and went after those Iraqi Scud missile launchers? What a hero! I can't wait until he washes all this chav scum off the streets!

This man has died in almost every film he's ever been in* -- that takes a level of commitment I dare say we've yet to see from Gerard Butler. Show a little respect! Vote for Sean Bean on the Hello! Magazine site. He's a legend. He's killed a lot of orcs in his time.

And don't get me started on the Monthly vote for the same category. KEITH URBAN!?** How are Keith Urban and some tool from Westlife beating out Bond? Who's voting on this? I doubt it's Nicole Kidman because the repetitive motion of clicking her mouse button would be too much for her fragile hands to endure. (Not that there's anything wrong with that. I love you, Nicole. Stay skinny! Stay awesome!)

* Please see "Death by Cow" -- a list of all the ways in which Sean Bean has kicked the bucket.

** Thank GOD! Nicky Byrne has overtaken Keith Urban since I posted this. I never thought I'd be happy to see someone from Westlife in 1st place.
