Once in a while you might come across a website about a celebrity that appears to be maintained by the very celebrity it touts. We've discussed some of these before. But you just haven't lived the 'Web 2.0' until you visit the Official StevenSegal.com. Herein you will find exciting possibly even working links to "Spirituality" and even a very exciting "Steven's Mp3 Page" (where all audio files are in .ram format). There is even 100% Pure Steven Seagal Juice and Steven's Essentail Oils are for sale as well.
Am I the only one bummed out that the "community" link isn't working?
When someone stars referring to themselves as "international star", you know that their light has faded.

I hear he's madly working on another bottle of magic Steven Seagal juice right now. And, if you pay him $300 you can help him harvest some of his "Juice".

This is the best of the web. And I am not being sarcastic.
It has that great disorganised, cobbled together feel that only a celebrity in front of Microsoft Frontpage can produce.
And he sells pashminas.

The action film SUBMERGED will be directed by Anthony Hickox which should conquer a broad panel of witnesses.

Ingredients: Steven Seagal delivers titles to the American ultra consonances (blues, folk) but also of more directed songs world (ragga, Arab musics). Surrounded by prestigious guests (B.B. King, Stevie Wonder...),

This sounds like Engrish to me.

One of my favorite Saturday Night Live moments was when Nicolas Cage hosted. In a 'backstage' moment, Cage says to producer Lorne Michaels, "they probably think I'm the biggest jerk who has ever been on the show!" Michaels replies, "No, no. That would be Steven Seagal."

Mr. Zero, I was just coming here to comment on that very paragraph. It's as if someone wrote in English, translated it to another language and then translated it back into English.

*shrugs* I didn't think the sound of his voice was too terrible. It's the fact that it comes out of Steven Segal's ass-face that I have a problem with.

Did anybody have the patience to watch his "spirituality" flash? I read until he brings up the fact that he does not want to talk about his involvement with Tibetan revolutionaries. That just about overloaded my "asshat" detector. Can we get a transcript of that whole flash? Anybody bored enough to do that?

So is cord a geometric term, like tangent to an arc?
So the Germans have David Hasselhoff and the French have Steven Segal (and Jerry Lewis)?
Would like to see a fight between Katie Sagal (perhaps as Leela, but as Al's wife - just as good) and Steven Segal...

Ooo ya! A Steven Seagal pile-on - what a good start to my day!
I once had an entire room of (exceedinly drunk, probably stoned) friends stumped with a game of Animal, Vegetable, Mineral though once the round was out, no-one could fault my claim that Seagal was vegetable - his level of acting ability could only come from a block of wood.
Or stone. Oh, shit. Maybe I should have said mineral?

Friend of mine used to work for a major studio helping with press junkets. He said almost to a person, the vast majority of bigshot movie stars that he met were kind and down-to-earth.
Then came Steven Segal.
The veteran staffers who had dealt with Segal before were moaning and complaining the moment they heard he was coming--he's apparently a notorious asshole. He and an assistant spent the better part of a day searching for obscure food that Segal demanded be set out for him at the interview. When he showed up, he nibbled on a carrot and never even looked at the rest. There was some story about how he got angry about something petty and started screaming at the studio people, including my friend, for an extended period of time...I forget the details on that one.

I think it means to add a new string to your bow, as in "bow'n'arrow". Rendered in English as "a new arrow in your quiver", which sounds unnecessarily sexual but there you have it.
Oh, and the only praiseworthy thing Steven Seagal has ever done, to my knowledge, is nail Kelly LeBrock. Whose desirability in my fickle and judgmental eyes immediately evaporated.
