Who is your seamus?

Pighead

Everybody has a seamus. That person whose opinion you trust 100%. The person who you'd nominate as your phone a friend if you ever went on 'Who wants to be a milionaire'. Your own personal Yoda.

When Pighead first started posting here his first opinion of the place was that it was populated by nerdlingers with awful opinions and awful clothes. But after a while he began to notice a diamond in the rough. A diamond that went by the name of seamus. seamus with a small s.

His posts were frequent but unusually the quantity was matched by the quality. He was right about everything. His opinions were forthright but generally bang on the money. He was like the boards version of James Bond. Men wanted to be him, women wanted to be with him.

Whenever there's a thorny subject brought up in After Hours that splits opinion, Pighead waits until seamus posts and then follows his opinion safe in the knowledge it is the right one.

Pighead has had thee dogs since he started posting on boards and he's called them all seamus. His first born will also be called seamus(boy or girl) and probably his second one too.

If seamus is reading this, Pighead prays that he takes the following in the right spirit. (ie it's a sign of admiration rather than obsession)

Sometimes Pighead parts his hair to the side (always imagined seamus had a cool side parting, left to right) wears cool chino's and smart trainers and pretends that he's the great man himself all whilst sing singing the Billy Joel classic 'Well I'm seamus, seamus as a man can be, you can make a total fool of me, I just wanted you to know'.

So who is your seamus?


PS
seamus is dead cool so he is.

Why, I think you are now, Pighead.

Jesus.

I'd trust a 'James' over a 'Seamus'. Sounds less ginger and annoying.

Also....welcome back! Haven't seen a Pigheads Thread in AGES!

I have no seamus, none at all...

Have you no shame? us?

Nope. Not 100%. Ask yourself, do you trust yourself 100% to know something on a given topic? I wouldn't. I'd need to look stuff up. So, why would I trust anyone else 100%?

Anyone who thinks "I trust _________ 100%" ought to do some re-examining.

I don't know any seamus'...

Pighead, I found out where seamus lives !!!

In Boards or in Real Life?

Boards I usually (but not always as that would be boring), agree with Bluewolf, Wibbs, Khannie, and the former Dudess (:().

I've a couple of people in real life, probably my Dad mostly.

Nobody gets my 100% though

Everybody has a seamus. Saying you have no seamus is liek saying you're infallible. Everybody needs a rock. Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow. Everybody needs a seamus.

The only way Pighead would re-examine is if seamus told him it was the right thing to do. Until then there will be no re-examining of anything. 100% faith in that man. If he said pink was blue then Pighead would be wearing pink underpants in the morning. 100%.

What do you mean by "the former Dudess"?

Also: thanks Pighead I now have that awful Garth Brooks song in my head: shameless!

i think its you, Pighead.


its always been you

When I was in school a 'seamus' was either a dig or a knee in the side of the leg resulting in said leg being 'dead'

Has seamus gotten into pigheads account??

With a "I heart Seamus" logo?

Paparazzo

You should find out his address and post him a pighead as a sign of your admiration. I'm sure seamus would appreciate that

My friend had a small McDonald's bear called Seamus.
She brought Seamus everywhere.
One day I thought it was funny to hide Seamus in one of her shoes.
She didn't find it for about 3 weeks.
She was furious with me.
Genuinely furious like.
We were 16/17 at the time.
Bit strange to be so attached to a McDonald's toy, but whatever.

Anyway, nah, I trust no one.
The most I trust anyone if I had to put a percentage on it would be maybe about 75%.
But I only trust most people maybe 40%.

Seamus doesn't have a hair parting.
Apart from that, you're bang on the money.

Bad Panda

If he or she refers to themselves in the third person, they'll more than likely end up as a malinski rather than a seamus.

How is saying there's nobody I trust 100% on all matters and all subjects like saying I'm infallible?

There are a few posters whose posts I find myself often in agreement with, but it's still early days too early to be giving out 'seamus' badges....

I have no rock, that's the truth. Nobody to lean on, nobody to dry my tears.....:(

As one of the original boards groupies Pighead's guessing that you have thrown yourself at the altar of seamus at some point over the years.

Could Pighead be so rude as to ask you if he is as kind and considerate a lover as one would imagine?

Of course pink isn't blue, don't be silly.

Although a little-known fact you may not be aware of is that washing powder is simply made from dried egg and flavouring and so just a scoop of Persil in a pint of water makes a rather ripping health shake. This is why it's called "biological" powder.

And that's why they call him 'The postman'. seamus always delivers. Pighead has been told seven interesting factoids today but the above is far and away the most interesting.

And that's why he's Pighead's seamus.

In fairness she found it hard dealing with people who had different opinions to her, so it was probably for the best.

pickarooney

MAJD, before she went into semi-retirement and changed her name, was everyone's seamus. She was probably even seamus' seamus, truth be told. And the truth was always told. And you'd laugh, and you'd shake your head and you'd say "actually, I have nothing to add to that". She indirectly invented +1 and, by extension, the thanks system.

Pherekydes

I don't think there's a poster I agree with on everything. Nodin is a shinner; bluewolf doesn't like sport; Dudess has left the building.

But seamus is nearly always right on nearly everything. Seamus is a pro: he (nearly) never misses.

Penn

My seamus is seamus.

Different seamus though. Purely coincidental the name is the exact same.

My seamuses would probably be starbelgrade, ibarelycare, krudler, Beruthiel and Novella.

They're the ones who probably get freaked out by me thanking zillions of their posts. It's not that I stalk them, it's just that we seem to frequent the same threads/forums and I tend to agree with them lots!

On that note you have Pighead's full permission to disclose all the details of our brief and torrid love affair in your forthcoming autobiography. Miss Piggy understands that there were women before her. How could there not have been?

Weird I've a real life Seamus who is called Seamus!

On Boards there is a guy on the Rugby forum called Germ, I have never seen a single poster ever try and disagree with him.

number10a

I reckon like many others, Dudess was my seamus. I'll never be able to get a replacement seamus, but bannasidhe, Ellis Dee and Bluewolf come in very closely. I've just noticed that on a forum with about 75% male users (me included), all my seamuses are wimmen!
