All things McBean…

September 15th, 2008 by Chris

Most of you who read this blog probably know that my most famous alter ego is “Lentil McBean”. For some reason today I decided to search for “McBean”. Here’s what I found:

  • The official website of the Clan MacBean. Apologies for the quality of the website, but at least the link to the left doesn’t go to their title page, which ought to make Jenn pretty much scream in anguish. Random Clan MacBean fact: Cmdr. Alan Bean (Apollo XII) left a piece of the MacBean tartan on the moon.
  • Gladding, McBean is a major manufacturer of ceramic household goods. Random ceramic roofing fact: A single piece of straight barrel mission style ceramic roofing weighs 5.6 pounds. No wonder Ben Hur was arrested.[1]
  • McBean.net is a reserved domain name. This person has a very odd sense of humor which I appreciate. I wish his taste in website style was better though. Random McBean.net quote of a quote: “YES, she knows it’s a multipass!!! Anyways we’re in love.” : Corbin Dallas, The Fifth Element
  1. In the movie of the same name, Ben Hur is arrested for supposedly attempting to assassinate the Roman governor when an errant piece of tile startles the Governor’s horse causing the Governor to be thrown. I actually thought the Governor was killed, but IMDB and Wikipedia agree that he was not. []
