Quite simply one of the best directors in the world right now, as well as being the epitome of cool in his acting persona, "Beat" Takeshi (taken from his stint in stand-up double act, The Two Beats) in most of his own films, as well as the likes of Battle Royale, Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, Gonin and (oops) Johnny Mnemonic.
Best known for his Yakuza films (such as Sonatine and Brother), as well as Hana-bi and the truly fantastic Zatoichi - both of which winning the Venice Film Festival in 1997 and 2003 respectively.
Also known for presenting Takeshi's Castle - which makes as much sense as Francis Ford Coppola's Saturday Night Takeaway if you think about it. Not to be confused with the qually brilliant and prolific (if borderline deranged) Takashi Miike.

Get the takeshi kitano mug.1.) Frontwoman of fifteen-minutes goth act Evanescence, currently trawling around near-obscurity.
2.) A porn star. No, it isn't the same one - CALM DOWN, GOTH!!!

1.) You do remember Bring Me To Life, don't you? It was only two years ago...
2.) "Ohh big boy, I want to choke on your cock..." (or something similar, anyway).

Get the Lee, Amy mug.Somebody on a message board, mostly wrestling ones, showing their level of intellect by talking about two wrestlers having a "fued", rather than a feud which they are actually having.
Normally I wouldn't mind, but it seems there are hundreds of people that can't spell the damn word right, so I'm doing them a favour.

"i hope we see and exciting fued between jbl and john cena." - Bad spelling, bad grammar, and a complete inability to spot a talented wrestler in favour for a couple of really bad ones.

Get the dido mug.Yet another overrated footballer, at least within these shores, for the all familar trait of being English.
He leads the hypocrisy brigade when it comes to the notions of all other footballers, especially foreign ones (i.e. Christiano Ronaldo) are cheats, yet he dived in the 2004 Champions' League Final, and does it regular for his club, Liverpool. Just ask fans of Sheffield United from the opening day of this season, or how about for England duty against Hungary before the World Cup. Of course, as he's English and white, it's "clever" play, unlike when someone like didier Drogba does it.
He also seems to fit into David Beckham's place on the right side of midfield for England very well - he constantly exposes the defence by going on runs up the field or cutting inside in search of his own personal glory, so everyone else has to cover for his ego. Just like he fits into Michael Owen's place at Liverpool due to winning penalties more often than any other player.

Steven Gerrard is the world's best midfielder (apart from the likes of Pirlo or Gattuso, who are World Class, not just players that look good against West Brom and Sunderland).

Get the steven gerrard mug.1.) A target for all the idiots on Newgrounds to practise Rational American Thinking away from their homes on the NG BBS.
2.) Somebody with an opinion which is actually thought out and considered, with facts and other stuff like that behind it. No wonder Rational American Thinkers are so desperate to trash him on this site...

2.) Search on the NG BBS and note the lack of flame wars and general bullshit.

Get the befell mug.An attempt to make Croydon sound vaguely cool by using a bastardisation of the postcode for central Croydon (CR0), which just sounds exceptionally contrived and, frankly, stupid. Especially as the pub with the same name has been closed since mid 2003, having run out of potential new owners.
It does confuse people making online bookings, though, since they hab itually use an "O" rather than a "0" when filling out the form, and it won't go through.
Usually put about by the writers for local fanzine Wired, which is as depressinmg and unjournalistic as you can imagine.

"Well, if Compton is CPT, I guess we'll be CRO."
"Dosn't that sound contrived and wanky?"
"No - it sounds cool and well 'ard..."
