Grain of salt here, but Sean Bean is the shiznit

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Okay, it's not the most reliable of stories, but I could see it.

The press asked him about it, and his response was "It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing....such a little thing..."

Boromir is one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood.

And he plays a good Sean Bean too.

I believe he said, "I, Eddard, of House Stark, did willfully conspire to kick ass in the name of a Playboy bunny. While her boobs were indeed fake, I did punch faces in their name nonetheless!"

You're both wrong.

What Lt Colonel Richard Sharpe actually said was, "He insulted the missus, so I twatted the Frenchie. And if it weren't for the call of the innkeeper, I would taken it all the way to that stunted Emperor!"

It really should be Six Degrees of Sean Bean, not Kevin Bacon. That guy's in everything.

He's also my my brother... my captain... my king.

Good speech. Nice and short. Leaves more time for drinking.

Actually the bugger taunted him with "they seriously call you Boromir? Sharpe? What do they call you back home?" and he answered with "They call me MISTER BEAN!" and decked him.

Why doesn't Sean rhyme with Bean?

Actually I have tremendous respect for the time there was a Viz photo-love story where a guy got his hair cut like Sean Bean to impress women, and in the next panel he was...Sean Bean. Playing a man who has his hair cut to look like yours in a Viz photo-love story is about the pinnacle of artistic achievement AFAIK.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

The incident to which MV refers is actual, factual and real, and at the end of the story, the 'real' Sean Bean turns up, represented by a man with a poorly cut out Sean Bean head stuck over his own.
