According to wikipedia so you know its true, Mel's legal name is Mel Colm-Cille Gerard Gibson. Woah, I know... Even his full name can kick your ass. Here is my completely accurate and fully researched meaning behind the name.
"Mel" From the earliest known recorded history it is those who are so awesome no other name can be fitting that are given the name Mel. Mel is derived obviously from the word Medal. Medal is used for everything that is bad ass including creating statues that resemble Mel Gibson.
"Colm-Cille" From the Gaelic words meaning "Cannot be Killed" Mel's middle name spells out his immortality. Years from now there will be another discussion about the best Mel Gibson role and the man who plays Mel Gibson in the movie Mel Gibson will win the argument hands down. That actor being Mel Gibson of course.
"Gerard" From and ancient Germanic word for Guard or Brave.... the name Gerard is definitely not French contrary to popular belief because there is not a word in the French language that can accurately be used to describe Mel Gibson or be fitting enough to be part of his name.
"Gibson" A legendary last name. It is Scottish for Great. It is used in many countries as a slang term for the best, or amazing. For example "That was such a Gibson movie." This is not due to its meaning, but because Mel Gibson uses it as a last name. Let us not forget one of the best guitar brands shares this name, coincidence? I think not.
Now that you have a little better understanding to the meaning of Mel Gibson it may make you understand this blog a little better. Mel Gibson characters are so incredibly badass, because Mel Gibson is so incredibly badass, you just can't fake being so awesome. Mel does not have to get into character for movies, movies get into character for Mel Gibson. FACT.
Let this debate begin....
Ok...so we know it works....I guess our next job is to secure some neutral parties to vote on our arguments.
ReplyDeleteAlright, here is the one question greater then the meaning to life.
ReplyDeleteHow does one hypothesis the outcome of a battle between two invincible powers?
Take for instance the epic battle of Mel Gibson from the Patriot vs Mel Gibson from Braveheart. No matter how you compare them, contrast them, and debate them using what ever weapons there is still one underlining fact.
They both are Mel Gibson. Period, that is their ace in the sleeve. Even throw in a three way with Mel Gibson from Saving Private Ryan with his Tommy Gun and better technology, run the analysis 1000 times and the outcome is the same.
The same as if you divide by zero, it just doesn't work. I am suprised teh internets even allowed such an address as melgibsonvsmelgibson without every single server crashing simultaniously.
This is less of a debate website and more of a shrine - like website devoted to the great Mel. If he ever passes on, which I believe is highly unlikely, this page will go down in history as one of the greatest.
Quick Question. Is it possible to debate different stages of living Mel Gibson? Like religious passion of the christ making Mel Gibson vs. Drunken tyraid Mel Gibson? just a thought.
And now a moment of zen.
An object in motion stays in motion until Mel Gibson says so.
