Indeed. I wanted to preserve it in its unadulterated form.

I pwned Mark Lamarr live on GLR once (in out-facting him on some matter of musical import). I felt like I was basically doing this for womankind - he was a notorious homosocial long before NMTB.

Damon Albarn, pwned for being a conveyor-belt hand-shaking/air-kissing machine at party when all guests had known him since the year dot.

in what matter did the pwning occur?

ken c (ken c), Friday, 6 August 2004 09:41 (nineteen years ago) link

At a sleeve design private view in Hoxton. Guests were uniformly people who had known them since they couldn't fill the Falcon, if not before.

I kicked his backside for 'doing the room'. We were stood talking next to one another and he started doing that Tony Blair thing he does, so I really had no choice (one of my best tricks is the ability to stand right beside someone and boot them).

Blimey Suzy do you have two-way knees or something? Good pwning. Sadly I don't think I've pwned anyone on telly. I was a bit cheeky to Jeremy Paxman once.

Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 6 August 2004 10:01 (nineteen years ago) link

haha, when I read matt's usher story, I thought it was about usher not being able to remember the name of the drink he wanted. even after I had finished reading it. for a moment.

RJG (RJG), Friday, 6 August 2004 10:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Mark C does that to me sometimes in pubs - he gets me to order for him when he gets too embarassed to order Shandys for himself!!!

ken c (ken c), Friday, 6 August 2004 10:07 (nineteen years ago) link

I've pwned Liz at bowling at least... err.. once. And she was once on telly being cheeky to Jeremy Paxman.

Matt that story's FANTASTIC!

Matt (Matt), Friday, 6 August 2004 10:10 (nineteen years ago) link

That Usher story has been doing the rounds - it's happened to a few bartenders in NYC too, only they didn't pwn - apparently Usher doesn't want to be spoken to by anyone who is 'staff' and has his minder order drinks and explain that Usher has him to speak to common people like them. What I'd like to know is what kind of completely servile BOTTOM takes a job like that?

suzy (suzy), Friday, 6 August 2004 10:11 (nineteen years ago) link

One who is happy to make large amounts of cash for separating packets of M&Ms into five seperate wine glasses - blue, red, green, yellow, brown, and then ordering bar staff to put them all on a tray and carry it over to his master's table?

Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 6 August 2004 10:14 (nineteen years ago) link

that job sounds kind of fun actually!

Liz, kicking someone alongside you is easy: I have just tried to explain how to do it but nothing quite conveys it right - will demonstrate at some future point (I perfected it on "little" sister).

suzy (suzy), Friday, 6 August 2004 10:56 (nineteen years ago) link

it is very easy yes, you kind of pivot at the knee and kick them with the outside of the foot in an upward swinging motion. Used to work very well in school assemblies

Elle a chaud au cul (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 6 August 2004 11:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh my God, that Usher story is fantastic. I actually have a weird, unexplainable adoration for him, and this has somehow only served to increase it despite the obvious retarded quality of his actions. He was wearing a shirt featuring Usher! I am sending it out in a mass email to all my friends. The subject line? "Usher: Pwn3d."

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Friday, 6 August 2004 12:40 (nineteen years ago) link

awww poor usher can't speak to common people. what a fucking asshole. i would have taken the gay drink and threw it at his face. and then ran from the huge yeti.

Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 6 August 2004 12:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes, I actually wouldn't expect that kind of snobbery from him. I'm so naive.

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Friday, 6 August 2004 12:47 (nineteen years ago) link

pwn3d:

MEANING:
The past tense of the word "pwn," which means "to kick the ass of (an opponent)."

HISTORY:
Contrary to popular belief, "pwned" did not originate in Warcraft. A top Quake player mispelled "owned" and the term quickly spread to less players and eventually to nearly the entire population of online gamers. The word is usually used in online FPS and RTS games.

USAGE:
Pwned is often said to an individual's lesser opponent after the greater person or team has defeated his enemy.

Can also be used when verbal superiority is shown in an arguement, for instance, on a video or computer game message board/forum.

"My archers pwned your wyvern, noob."

"Clan AIC just pwned you mother fuckers."

(After delivering a perfect arguement):
"PWNED BITCH GGTHNXNORE"

Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 August 2004 14:03 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm sure there are a million people who'd love to wipe Usher's arse for him.

However if it were my bar, I'd take the Colin MacInnes line 'in the jazz club, everyone's equal'. It just smacks of all those 'terms and conditions' like 'you will not look at the famous person' - FUCK YOU AND YOUR ENTITLEMENT ISSUES. Most people in the places I drink would find that stuff a bit wanky.

usher tried to get a friend of mine fired from a movie they were both doing together. my friend was smoking a lot of weed at the time, as were most of the other costars. usher then went DIRECTLY TO THE STUDIO and complained, saying the smoke from the other trailers was "ruining [his] voice" and that he would sue the studio for damages unless they fired my friend. the studio would not comply.

I totally pwned 50 Cent in the corridors of BBC TV Centre a year or so ago by elbowing him out of my way when neither he nor his apes would let me pass by on my way to the tea bar. The much-anticipated contract on me that I was kind of expecting has yet to materialise.

I pwned Anita Roddick. I was at a training day at The Body Shop HQ and we had to think of ways to improve recycling, etc. and I did a bit on how the gift packs were very un-green, full of straw, tissue, covered in plastic, none of it recyclable and so on. Of course - gift packs were very profitable and that was why we did them. She got slightly grouchy and said I was being negative and tried to move on but I had the whole room with me. I was unbearably smug.

Mark McKinney in a back stairwell in Rockefeller Center after a taping of SNL. I was carrying flowers I was recycling (stealing) from one of the dressing rooms. When I ran into Mark, he pointed at the flowers and said "Are those for me?" and gave me this nice smile. Although I had a HUGE tv crush on him at the time, I said "no," and maybe even "they're for my apartment." There was really nowhere for that conversation to go after that, so we went our separate ways.

Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin were having some conference in Helsinki back in the 90s. Some anarchist friends of mine organized a demonstration against the human rights violations of the US (stuff like the death penalty, Mumi Abu-Jamal, etc.) and Russia. The demonstration was in the middle of night, and the idea was something like, "if these guys' conscience lets them sleep at night, we won't". So we took a lot of pans and kettles, went outside the hotel Clinton was staying in, and started banging on them and making a racket, shouting stuff like "Free Mumia Abu-Jamal! Free Leonard Peltier!". The cops stopped as after a half an hour, but not before people in the hotel had woken up. Unfortunately the cops started to follow us when headed for Yeltsin's hotel, and they stopped us from going near it. The next day's headlines were something like, CLINTON WOKEN UP BY RACKETEERS. He mentioned in some interview to the Finnish press that he had indeed woken up because of our demonstration.

i got pwned by carl craig about ten years ago at sankey's soap in manchester. he was a bit of a hero so i asked his wife who was dancing by the booth if i could get in for an autograph and she said yes. was a little the worse for wear and gabbled some embarrassing stuff to him about how great he was. he wrote me his autograph and put "peace in manchester", me being from the other end of the east lancs went "b-but i'm from liverpool" and he just looked at me and said "yeah, but we're in manchester" and i went kthxby. needless to say when he played liverpool recently i gave the dj booth a wide berth (although some scall appeared to put him in a headlock at one point).

No. A bellini is prosecco (champagne is a reasonable substitute) with peach PUREE. No wonder Usher was so distrusting, I would be too.
