In the Noclight: Galvasean

randylonghorn

Ok, life has been a bit crazy recently and I've been a bit remiss on the Noclight threads, apologies.

Thanks to Karma (and Kharn) for getting us back on track last week!

This week, we have the inimitable, the enigmatic, the guy with the plastic pecs who just loves to smoke a big cigar! >_>

... it's Galvasean!!

Galvasean

Speaking of smoking big cigars, by some mad coiniadence I ended up in the George last night.. but enough about that.

I thank you Randy, for allowing me to talk about my favourite topic, me! :P

First question,

What is your favourite dinosaur and why?

Ickle Magoo

Is your handle pronounced Galva-shawn or Galva-see-an or Gal-vaze-ee-an?

So that's how it feels being asked that...

It is, the amazing Therizinosaurus cheloniformis, about the size of a T.rex with claws as long as a man's arm. Kind of like a cross between a massive turkey and a bear.


Don't believe how cool it is? Check this out!

Aisling(",)

i shall be asking questions later so be prepared

xfactor is taking my attention now though:)

My handle is usually referred to as OMEGA SUPREME..
Oh you meanmy boards name. That's gal-va-shawn.

Do you find the constant comparison to the Van Der Beek detrimental to your mental health?

It used to drive me mental. Now I just roll with it.
I am confident in who I am... a washed up 90s teen soap opera star lookalike.

Hi dino-boardsie:P

1. What got you interested in dinosaurs??
2. What was your first ever comedy like??

Well I've loved them since I was a kid, like most. I guess I just never grew out of them. In fact, I think it's sad that when most people grow up they forget about all the deadly stuff, like dinosaurs and cartoons.

koth wrote:

2. What was your first ever comedy like??

As in my first ever gig that I played? It was bleedin' crap! I cringe at the very thought.

koth wrote:

3. Country you'd like to travel to??

If I can only pick one I'd probably pick Canada. Check out the museum with all the dinosaurs in it!

How did the boards.ie stand-up comedy night go?

How do you feel about Arsenal's win today?

1. First comedy gig you went to?? As an audience member??

3. Your favourite moment doing your own comedy??
4. And what advice would you give someone thinking of giving standup a try??

Brilliant! We raised over €1,200 for the Santa Strike Force. All the comics did a good job. Nobody died on their hole like.
I was originally in line to close the first half of the show, but our opening act (who is deadly funny) pulled out at the last minute, so I was put on first. Less time to go over my material than I would have liked (between that and myself and Grames running around all day like headless chickens trying to solve every problem known to man!), but I managed to get through the full set without having to check notes or forget too much. Kinda botched up one of my jokes (tripped over the wording). Some of my more 'offensive' or doirty material lost some of the audience who didn't like it, but as a wise man once said, "Doing a stand up gig is like going to war. Not everybody is going to be there with you at the end of it."
Overall i'm very pleased. Great audience who heckled consructively. I love that.
I must also say performing in shorts was nice n' breezey, kept my loins nice n' cool.
Also, big props to Doctor doom for lending us a hand with the sound!

Jako8 wrote:

Delighted. 3 points away from home after coming from behind (ssh!) and back in the title race.

I'm pretty sure it was Ed Byrne when I was in 4th year (school not college).

koth wrote:

2. Favourite comedy gig you went to??

There have been some great ones, but Billy Connolly at the last Bulmers comedy fest edges it for me. He's my favourite comedian and the time just flew by!

koth wrote:

3. Your favourite moment doing your own comedy??

It's a toss up between:
This one time I was playing in the Ha'Penny Bridge Inn and in the middle of my set some bugger in the front row decides to get up and go to the bathroom. So as he was walking away I said "Wait, don't go", and then started singing "If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me..." then all these girls in the audience joined in singing the "Oooooooooooo-oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh" bit. That surprised the heck out of me.
That and the time I played in Cuba (Galway) before PJ Gallagher in front of about 300 people. Such a fantastic night. It was one of those gigs were every joke just landed as intended. PJ told me after the show that he really enjoyed my set. He even gave me a lift!

Koth wrote:

4. And what advice would you give someone thinking of giving standup a try??

Hmmm, I would say don't get pissed before the gig. Seriously, I have seen way too many first timers get nervous and have 8 pints before going on stage only to forget all of their material and make a complete hash of it.
It's a terrible shame, since I havent seen the aforementioned comics since. They probably gave up and packed it in. Who knows? some of them may have been good but the world will never know because they made a foolish mistake, effectively killing their career before it could get going.

What can I say, it involved the wearing of togas!
I was doing a part in a play (the secret's out!) and there was an after party. Not quite sure why, but some of us somehow ended up in Dublin's most popular gay bar. Nevertheless I got some hot female action chicks love the togas). At least I think she was female! :eek:

Arent they normally 3 parts? But I digress...

(ACTING parts! )

Acting is weird. I did a couple of plays in school (I was Marcellus in Hamlet, "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark), but thought nothing of it.
When I ended up doing Film in college for various projects we'd have to pool what little resources we had, acting in each others' shorts etc.
I do sound recording now, but always get roped into doing cameos. People see the cameos and say, "Oh we've got to put that guy in our show!" so i end up ding really weird stuff.
Last few roles were:
Euripedes, the Greek playright (in a play)
An out of work mustached superhero (TV pilot about aliens)
Some guy who gets eaten by a zombie (find out more here. *shameless plug*
I was a soldier in some radio play about global warming gone awry.
Oh and I'll have abrief cameo in Season 4 of the Tudors.

Yes.

Ais wrote:

2.Favourite wham song?

Not really a fan of Wham. I prefer George's solo work.
Faith being my favourite.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqepCssCPT0

Did you like bosco?

Wasn't a big fan. Preferred watching cartoons.

4.Can you speak any other languages?

I used to speak a decent amount of German. Alas, it's virtualy all gone through lack of use.

5.What are your plans for tomorow?

Good question. I have a day off work, so probably nothing.

6.Excited for christmas?

A bit. I don't get very excited until it's closer. that said, i did watch Miracle on 34th Stret today.

7.How much do you weigh?

Not sure. i generally don't weigh myself. Probably not a lot. I could do with gaining some weight.

8. 3 things you like in a girl are.....

Tits, legs n' ass!!!! :pac:
But seriously, intelligence is a turn on for me. Can't stand to be 'with' an idiot, even if tehy are smokin' hawt.
She needs to be a bit out of the ordinary, ie: not plain or boring.
And yes, I am a bit shallow, so good looks are important too. Can't help but like what I like.

9.Whats been your favourite holiday?

Florida when i was a kid. I got to wrestle an alligator (at Gatorland zoo) and visit Jurassic Park (in Universal studios)!!!!

10.Where do you want to go in the world?

The top.

11.Do you play any computer games?

I'm not as avid a gamer as I used to be. I still play Football manager and Dawn of War. Plus, the odd bit of Wii.

12.Do you like animals?

Is the space pope reptilian? (he is)

13.Any pets?

A yorkshire terrier named Skipper.

He likes Christmas.

14.Whats your favourite colour?

Green.

15.Any opinions on whos to win the xfactor?

Haven'ta clue. I never watch that crap.

16.Is your christmas tree up?

Not yet. Living room is under construction. Need to make space for it. hopefully it will be up at some point next week.

17.whats your favourite item of clothing that you own?

My Arsenal hoodie. Soo snug.

18.Choclate or sweets?

Can't I have both?

19.Ever have any dental work done?

Had a couple of fillings when I was a kid. Also had root canal due to an opsis a couple of years ago. I must say the opsis was teh single most painful experience of my life.

20.Would you like to get married?

Not so sure about the whole church thing. But yes, I would some day like to settle down with that special female.

21.5 celebrities you would?

Shakira, Charlize Theron, Liz hurley, Sarah Palin Michelle Gellar, Heather Graham.

22.did ya miss me on my tour of absence?

U wuz gone?
Ah but seriously, yeah. We missed you at the Haloween beers.

23.What was your favourite school subject?

English in 6th year, because my teacher was insane. Great guy. Wore ti-dye t-shirts and liked my theory on how Han Solo and the lead from Witness are basically the same guy.

24.Would you be more scared or terrified if you saw a real life
dinosaur?

You mean birds? I see them all the time. They are totally known to me. No fear.

25.do you like fruit?

I'm not a huge fan, but a bit now and then.

26.On a night out you drink?

Yes. I enjoy various beers. Tiger, Heineken, Smithwicks, Cobra, Miller, Castle, Duvel, Corona to name a few.Also like Southy n' red or Jameson or dark rum n' coke.

27.Any film youre lucking foreward to?

Oh how easy you make it for me to pimp my wares!
I'm really looking forward to Portrait of a Zombie which is out at some point next year (that's the one I worked on).
Trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmFr-JQEZVY

That and Avatar. That's gonna be epic.
I'm also looking forward to I Love You Phillip Morris (starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. Also, bad Boys 3, if Michael Bay gets around to it.

28.What did you want to be when you were little?

A palaeontologist (dinosaur expert)

29.Whats Santy bringing you?

Coal.
If I'm good maybe a blu-ray player

30.Favourite resteraunt?

Ponderosa, the American buffet chain. Seriously you can have an all you can eat breakfast for like $4. Dinner is about $9. Fantastic food in infinate qualntities for practically nothing.
In Ireland though, there's a pretty cool Chinese buffet on Abbey St. where you get all you can eat for about 8 quid.

31.Most recent embaressing moment?

Bumping into my out n' proud cousin in the George last night. He saw me *complete with toga) and yelled "I knew it!!!"

32.What do you think of lady gaga?

I think she's an attention seeking sap who needs to spend less time focusing on what stupid hat to wear and more time on writing some decent music.

33.Any opions on the tiger woods scandal?

What a friggin' idiot. I have no time for anybody who cheats on their partner. If you wanna have sex with different women all the time, don't get married and have a bunch of kids. Hope she takes him to the cleaners.
On a side note, not looking good for the Gilette ad campaign is it? First Thierry Henry, now Tiger Woods. Next week we'll probably read how Roger Federer runs an illegal midget brothel in his house.

34.Did the budget effect you?

They took ten cent off the price of the pint. At the current rate of consumption I stand to save €5,000 per anum.

35.how are you feeling/

Thanks for asking. You've made my day.
Sinus is still bad (been at me all week, missed a day of work), but I'm over the worst of it.

36.Favourite cartoon?

You haven't guessed?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq0ZJgb-VX4

37.Pro-life or pro-choice?

Tough question. I wouldn't consider myself either. While I would be against the having of abortions in most cases, there are certain cases where it is the best option, like for example where the fetus grows outside the womb, which can end up killing both mother and child, it's the only logical solution.
I'm sure you've all heard in the news about that whole EU supreme court case. I think our government needs to think long and hard about our abortion laws.

38.Do you like the beatles?

While I don't have any of their CDs I will listen to them if tehy are on the radio. Some of their songs are absolute class. I really like "Maybe I'm Amazed".

39.ever try drugs?

Oh Ais, trying to get me infracted

Ais wrote:

40.Do you like my questions?

Sure were a lot of them though. I think i need a Lucozade.

Best: Inglourious Basterds (Avatar could displace it though)
Worst: New Moon! Just kidding, haven't seen it. In fact I haven't seen anything REALLY crap in the cinema this year. I mean Terminator Salvation and Revenge of the fallen werent exactly great films, but they were enjoyable. I'll go with Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus, despite ahving one stand out brilliant scene:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgKxzU2Zqj0

Favourite cinema to visit?

I like Cineworld. Y'know, when not it's not full of knackers. I think it's the best tiered cinema in Dublin.

Best/worst present you've ever received? (not just Christmas!)

Well the best was that thing I mentioned in Lolly's questioning.
Worst would be the time someone (who shall remain nameless) gave me Man United stationary.

Favourite flavour of crisps?

Walkers Baked salt n' vinegar.

Are you a hat person?

While I'm not opposed to wearing hats, I cant stand having to hear scumbags yell, "Hee-ur! Giz a go a yer hat!" Seriously not worth the effort.
However...

Rise early or lie in?

You know what they say, 'early to bed and early to rise, gives you small penis size'.
I'm a fan of the lie in myself. Nothing good ever happens in the morning anyway.

Can you drive?

Nope.

Ever ridden a horse?

Yeah a few times. Not recently though.

Are you any good at wrapping gifts?

Yeah.. and i dont like where this is going...

If money wasn't an issue, where would you like to live?

Alberta Canada. Diggin' up dinosaur bones.

Do you have a mug or cup in the house that specifically yours?

I had one, the mug I bought at the Emirates stadiumbut Jim dropped it! :mad:
Then i had another one, a souvenir from Spain with crocodiles on it. The handle broke clean off and I got scalded with boiling hot tea.

Salt and/or vinegar on your chips?

Bit of salt. Plenty of vinegar.

Long and confusing story. You see Nerin is actualy from the future. The fact of the matter is I haven't met his mother yet (that I know of). In a weird kind of way I think he's trying to cockblock me so he will never be born.

Well there arent many facts about me that you cant find on boards with a little bit of rooting...
- When I was a kid I used to have to wear an eye patch asone o my eyes wasn't particularly good. It was to get the bad eye used to working and improve it. So, basically for a while, I had one bad eye and a patch over the good eye... a bit like Sagat from Street Fighter. I couldn't see ****!

- When I was in second class my appendix burst, on Christmas day. Worst Xmas ever. Got better just in time for school :mad:
- I don't like bats. They freak me out.

girl_friday wrote: »

• Favourite holiday you’ve been on – and why?

Answered that one already.

• Who do you get on best with in your family?

My sister. Probably because she no longer lives at home so we don't see each other that often.

• Highpoints and lowpoints of 2009?

Highpoint was working on my first two full lenght feature films (that didn't get canned half way through shooting) as a sound guy in quick succession; In World War and Portrait of a Zombie. Both are due to be released next year.

Lowpoints: Got shafted out of a few projects. ie: Told I had the role only later to be replaced on the sly without informing me. LOTS of chancers in this business. I've only been around a year and I have an enemies list.

• Is Santa bringing you pressies or coal?

Hopefully a present. Santa says I'm getting too old and this will be my last one.

• What are your top three talents?

Sound recording
Cracking wise
Karaoke (I'm ossim)

• Any tattoos or piercings?

Nope, and I have no intention to get any. Not after my best friend got drunk in Span and got a picture of a horse tatood on his leg. He later went to aniother tatoo parlour asking could they make it look 'less girly'. He now has MUSCLY horse tatood on his leg.

• Any nicknames?

Most people call me Markey. Boards people call me Galvy. However in comedy circles people call me JP. It's very rare that people call me Sean - usually at the bank.

• Which do you prefer: tea or coffee?

Tea is my usual preference. However, sometimes you just can't beat a good cup of coffee.

• What fora are on your subbed list?

Palaeontology, Films, Nocturnal Forum, Ranting & Raving, Transformers, Atheism & Agnosticism.

• How did you end up on Boards and what made you stay?

I have no idea how/why I ended up on boards. Lost to antiquity I guess.
I stay for the company.

• Do you have any teddies?

I still have a few in a drawer somewhere. I couldn't bring myself to get rid of them, not after the years of loyal service thay gave me. Good old Bunzul the bear, we will never know why I named you so...

• How did you choose your Boards.ie username?

Well, my name is Sean and the Galva bit comes from the Transformer Galvatron. I was watching the cartoon one day and my sister said to me, "Hey, that one looks like you!" (he has a goatee and I had a goatee at the time). From that day forth I became Galvasean, FUTURE RUILER OF THE UNIVERSE! MULTIVERSES!!!

• Favourite type of music?

I like rock n' roll and the lighter forms of metal the most. While I do like the odd bit of dance and rap etc. I'm not one of those knob-ends who says "I like all kinds of music"- what a dumb thing to say. Nobody does. Or those twats who say, "I like all music... except rap.... and metal...." etc. (woah, Im going into R&R mode, better stop)

• Favourite song?

Not many people believe me when I tell them this, but..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j96HsooVnc

• Song you love that you hope no one will ever find out about?

Well, I guess everyone is gonna find out now...

It's so embarassing, it comes out the otherside and becomes cool again!

Check out John Candy's cameo one minute in!

• Most embarrassing moment?

Oh man... let's just say it involved condoms and leave it at that.

• If you could invite 5 guests (dead or living) to a dinner party, who would they be?

Charles Darwin
Jim Carrey
Billy Connolly
Richard Dawkins
Stephen Fry

• Best thing about your time on Boards.ie?

All the great new friends I've made.
1..2..3... awwwwwwwwwww.........

• Most annoying habit?

Nail biting. Can't help it!

• Any type of music you don’t like?

All that acid house 'uns uns uns' crap or when they take aclassic song, ad that stupid repetitive dance beat and have some sped up squeeky voiced girl sing the lyrics. You know, the kind of crap scumbahs listen to on the Dart.

• Last book you read?

Fascinating...

• Who would you like to play you in the film of your life?

James Van Der Beek. See would anyone know the difference.

• Favourite quote or saying?

"Deal with it!"/"Rock n' roll."
- Sean Bateman

• If you could mod any forum (other than Noc or ones you already mod) which would you choose and why?

Atheism & Agnosticism. However, I mod enough forums as is. I said I'd never go over three, then tehy offered me Transformers... which basically mods itself.
I'd actually hate to mod the Noc forum. I come here to relax, not to work.

• Favourite food?

As I said before, either a really good steak or a proper Chinese.

• First concert you went to?

First proper concert I went to (ie: not a band in the pub) was Iron Maiden at the Point when I was in transition year.

• If you had to choose only one for the rest of your life would you choose hugs or kisses?

Oooh, tough choice. Depends on who I'm kissing... and would spooning still be allowed?

• Last thing that made you laugh?

Robindch (mod of A&A) saying 'cream cheese dildo'. If you knew him you'd understand (he's like Frasier).

• Last thing that made you cry (that you feel comfortable sharing)

I watched Terminator 2 last week. "I know now why you cry."

• What do you like and dislike most about yourself?

This damnable acne, goddamnit Sean, youre not twelve anymore!

• Favourite dessert?

Iced cream.

• In the cinema where is your preferred seat?

Near the back/middle, preferable away from the knackers if possible.

• Would you ever get plastic surgery?

Hmmm, wouldn't mind having a bigger chin...

• What famous people would you love to punch in the face?

There are so many I couldn't begin to tell you...
How about this dude?

See how he likes it!

• How long would you last without access to the internet?

Indefinately. That's not to say I'd like it though.

• Have you ever been in love?

Perhaps, once...

• What is your greatest fear?

Not making it.

• Have you broken any bones?

Nope. I drink plenty of milk.

• Do you believe in karma?

Not really. I like to say I do as a means of keeping myself good. But in reality, no, not really.

• are you a religious/spiritual person or not?

Not in the slightest. I think organised religion is a clever means to grab power and money.
As for spirituiality, no. I don't see the point in inventing supernatural things to fill in the gaps in human understanding. For the miost part, it's counter-productive.

What pisses you off about society Galva?

The sheer corruption of it all. The fact that nepotism is everywhere in society and by and large people put up with it.

LZ wrote:

Any impending films that are making you die with anticipation?

AS I said before, this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmFr-JQEZVY

and Avatar, I Love You Phillip Morris and hopefully Bad Boys 3.

Have you got a favourite R&R rant? :P

I have a few. There was grames_bond's f#ckwits at music gigs which became practically a forum of it's own. There was also a really good one posted last night which basically went to the beat of 'f#ck everybody!' My favourite rant that I did was the one about sharks in the media. I'm proud of that one. That and movie mistakes.

1. If you could replace your head with that of any living thing or animal etc (excluding dinos) what would it be?

A crocodile!

2. Tell me a joke.

Ooof, you should never say that to anyone who does stand up. They really don't like it. I mean you wouldn't ask someone who you knew was an accountant, "Hey you, fill in my tax returns!"

3. Let's say, hypothetically, you're lactose intolerant. You are on a date with AliCat. She orders some vanilla milkshake and it arrives. She says "oh, my most favourite thing in the world would be to share my milkshake with the Galvmeister! Please join me...". What do you do?

Well for startersI'd check over my shoulder afor her boyfriend (he's bigger than me). Then I'd probably do my Daniel Day-Lewis impression.

4. Nice Boobies or nice bums?

Surely I deserve both? Oh well, if I must have one I'll go with boobies, I mean for the baby's sake. Bear in mind, for me, boobies don't need to be big, just nicely formed (pics or GTFO you say? Hmmm, sorry but much as I'd like to I better pass).

5. Draw me a 5 minute sketch in paint/photoshop/etc and post it up here!

Remind me about that one. I'll get on it this evening. I'm in a bit of a rush right now.

6. Are your hands tired from all the ferociously long lists of questions?

Repetive Strain Injury AAARRGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. do you think the t-rex was even aware that it had arms??:p

Yes. Very much so. While small in size, they were incredibly muscular so they must have been used for something. In fact there is one theory doing the rounds that T.rex used it's hands to hang on while mating, perhaps even giving his mate a sensual back scratching.

koth wrote:

2. have you ever had someone shout a really weird heckle at you??

Ah yes, once some drunk old git started a conversation with me about how much he hated priests. It was awkward to say the least...

Ohhh, I'll let you away with that one! Even though I'm a photographer (well, trying to be :pac:) and got asked to post a photo by someone! Although in fairness your retort was quite funny

What are your top three rules/tips for zombie survival?

What's your favourite zombie movie (excluding PoaZ :P)?

If you were a dinosaur which one would you want to be?

Wibbs

You mentioned Karaoke. I've seen you in full song. You're technique and physical involvment is impressive. Where in gods name did you get that from?:D

1. If someone is bitten. Execute them immediately. There is no cure. No room for sentimentality. The person you loved is gone.

2. Be quiet! There's no point shooting a zombie with a loud gun only to attract dozens, if not hundreds more. Avoid conflict where possible.

3. Tree bark is a surprisingly good source of food that is easily digested by humans. Be sure to harvest it without causing permanent damage to the trees. That way it will grow back.

I'm a big fan of the 1990 version of Night of the Living Dead.

Loads. But most of all venues that expect you (as in the comedian) to personally bring in the audience for them, and then get pissy with you when you don't and wont give you more gigs. What a crock of balls.

Laptop. I likes my internets.

10) Best venue to play in dublin?
