coworker1: What's wrong with Seal's face? Did he get burnt or something?

coworker2: I'm pretty sure it's tribal branding.

coworker3: Nah, it's just achne, mate!

coworker2: The singer in Opeth is a massive Seal fan...got everything...including laserdiscs.

hollyc  said about 5 years ago:

I thought he was visited by aliens in his sleep? That's what he used to tell people in interviews, the cheeky scamp.


Ubu  said about 5 years ago:

So many theories. Who holds the key to this mystery?

The singer in Opeth?

opeth


DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:

coworker2 sounds like he or she is pretty close to the singer in opeth.
maybe they could ask the opeth singer which tribe seal belongs to.

Isn't Seal a Londoner?

Tell then to stop being so fuckin' racist!!!


JunkiePhil  said about 5 years ago:

Rekindling the flame required a radical return to Seal's roots. "I'd been living in Los Angeles for twelve years," he continues, "and the first thing I did was to move back to London where I got started." According to this Paddington born native of Nigerian and Brazilian ancestry, "there's a certain grit to that city, an energy and immediacy that had inspired me from the beginning. It wasn't as if I was trying to recapture anything. I just wanted to make the connection to a place that had always served me well." This included ongoing collaborations with songwriters including Alan Griffiths and Mark Batson, co-credited on Seal. But what really set the wheels in motion was Seal's reunion with long-time production partner Trevor Horn, the man behind the boards for such career highlights as the multi-platinum 1994 album with its Grammy winning smash hit "Kiss From A Rose."


JunkiePhil  said about 5 years ago:

Seal has distinctive scars under his eyes, left by a skin ailment called discoid lupus (which makes the immune system hyperactive and attacks normal tissue) when he was young.


PelicanGodOfJupiter  said about 5 years ago:

Isn't Seal a Londoner?

Yes. His guitarist and drummer were regulars in the pub I worked at. His drummer said I was a good drummer when I was desk drumming to Elton John's 'I'm Still Standing'.


LockingPlier  said about 5 years ago:

Poor Seal.


Modi  said about 5 years ago:

Hahahaha. Desk Drumming.

Do girls in cafes stop and listen and start dancing to your mad phat beats, Fya?


DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:

i wonder what the singer from opeth is saying in that photo.


Ubu  said about 5 years ago:

You're a man of many talents, Peli.

I'm not too sure about the "poor Seal" call, LP. The man serves as an inspiration to Lupus inflicted kids all over the world. They too can grow up to be hugely successful buck naked oily pop-soul singers and marry super models....onya Sealman.


LockingPlier  said about 5 years ago:

But the kids don't know about the Lupus...they think it's tribal scarring.

He isn't really doing anything to raise awareness about it. He could've appeared on an ad or two.


LockingPlier  said about 5 years ago:

Opeth = Nerds...so he is probably saying something nerdy.


Modi  said about 5 years ago:

Do you reckon Lupus could go in the new kids names thread?

Sounds like some poor bogan kid's name.


LockingPlier  said about 5 years ago:

I call a dude I work with Loopis.

He doesn't like it.


LockingPlier  said about 5 years ago:

I call another bloke Prawn.

He really doesn't like that.


BADALEX  said about 5 years ago:

Opeth are nerds eh? Makes sense the girl in physics is into them then.

My mate tried to get me into their cover of Celtic Frosts...whatever the fuck it was.

But seriously. Don't you get over this shit past the age of twenty?


Ubu  said about 5 years ago:

Opeth = Nerds...so he is probably saying something nerdy.


"Get ready to rock Bournemouth! The next opus is called Into The Mire Of Transgressed Crop Circles!!"


DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:

"Opeth = Nerds...so he is probably saying something nerdy."

i don't know what opeth sound like, but they look like a christian metal band.
only christian metal bands need to give the horns with both hands.
it's like they're secretly ashamed of jesus or something.

''And on the 5th day of Christmas, I killed him.'' - My boss, referring to the never-shuts-ups guy who sits in the section next to us (and even if this guy manages to stop talking, he's still whistling, table-drumming, being a general nuisance).

My boss is ace. I hope he does it.

left wing guy, to me: ''Unbelievable that the Herald's run a story painting that occupy Melbourne guy out to be some sort of worthless freeloading bum for receiving peer-awarded, highly contested art grants. OUtrageous! Artists are not criminals! They work harder than most blah blha, how ridiculous, not up to illiterate bogan readership to decide what's artistically valid, motherfuckers etc''

Condescending know it all mumsy type, interrupting:''Sometimes, a newspaper will try to make somebody look bad when they disagree with what they have to say''

HAHAHAHAHAHA, sorry, but that's fucking funny. Just the quote. The two fucks just got to me. I don't care if she's pregnant. It's not like she's dying. Pregnancy is a blessing. He shouldn't be talking to any woman like that, but he sure is well spoken.
