    Forgotten Lore: Great idea! Yes, a good place is

    • Until recently, Tobin Bell was moonlighting as a female singer; Bell Ender Carlisle
    • Contrary to medical belief, Bell's Palsy was not discovered by Scottish anatomist Charles Bell but rather
      invented
      by Tobin Bell via the process of mind control. A former Navajo code talker, spy during the Cold War, ninja and subliminal hypnotist, Tobin Bell utilises his clandestine skills through a series of subtle vocal inflections whilst delivering certain lines. The result, which affects solely those watching Tobin Bell movies through Sony television screens, is a limited period of facial paralysis, which begins approximately 4-20 hours after the movie ends.

      Forgotten_Lore — 17 years ago(November 17, 2008 05:31 AM)

      Looking in to getting a site going, but for now i figure me and Je suis poisson thought we would combin (like Tobin rather than combine) forces here:

      • In the mid eighties Tobin Bell tried to launch a new sitcom entitled Saved by the Bellend. A farsical comedy, each episode would see some people in a state of particularly perilous danger but eventually being rescued by Tobin. The pilot epoisode did not go down well with the test audiences, but luckily for NBC the name inspired a much more popular show which would be piloted a few years later.
      • On set of Mortal Fear in 1994 Tobin was amazed to discover that he had created a new emotion. The emotion existed on a spectrum ranging from minor irritation to intense rage. The physical effects would include increased2000 heart rate, blood pressure, and levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. He called this powerful new emotion Bell End Anger. Unfortuntely for him the human sciences community did not embrace this new finding claiming someone else had beaten him to it.
      • In 1955 Tobin began his first business venture and began charging members of the public to cross the Weymouth Back River in his home town. He would charge 2 dollars (now worth around 30 shillings) for safe passage across the dangerous waters. Using a small tolbooth as a base for his operations he became highly successful until the straw bridge he had constructed gave way in the infamous storm of 1956. Tobin's pioneering work in the tolling industry was never to be forgotton however when locals coined the phrase "For whom the Bell Tolls" in tribute.
      • In 1979 Tobin tried to relaunch his pop career with hit songwriter Anita Ward. They tried to write together but fell out over artistic differences as she refused to add the word 'End' to the title of one of their tracks. He left the band claiming it was going nowhere anyway and wanting to keep his dignitiy intact while she had her first (and only) number one with the single Ring my Bell.
      • It has since been covered by 12 different artists, including Tobin's close friend Apisit Opsasaimlikit (aka Joey Boy), not one of whom has restored the original lyrics.
      • In an interview with the website Fangoria when promoting the hit movie Saw II Tobin Bell spoke of how he invented sexual intercourse for procreational purposes in 1992. Up until then the cause of the global population's continuation was still open to speculation. The human race is still grateful to this day, and as such he still receives a tax cut.
      • On accepting the role of "Man in Suit" on TV's "Once and again" Tobin invented the phrase 'Scraping the barrel.' On set he felt a slump in his usual creativity and would regularly take to producing a trowel from his back pocket and finding the nearest wooden container would scrape at it until the ideas came flowing back. Actress Sela Ward feared this was an early stage of madness, but upon seeing what wonders it did to his vibrant performance took back her initial slander.
      • A common misconeption about the term Asexual is that it describes the orientation of individuals who do not experience sexual attraction. This is simply untrue however as the term was invented by Tobin Bell on the set of the legendary episode More than you Know (of TV's Jake and the Fat Man), where he was heard to say 'I'm asexual A sexual beast' to costar Kathleen Furey. She has since told close friend, and costar of the 1991 film Goodbye Paradise, Joe Moore that she's no longer the woman she once was. Tobin is yet to comment on this.
      • A popular rumour about Tobin Bell is that he is the great grandson of the Edinburgh born inventor of the telephone Alexander Graham Bell. This is not true, although he is the son of Eileen Bell http://www.imdb.com/board/20068182/
      • The character of Belle in the 1991 film Beauty and the Beast was actually named after Tobin Bell after he taught director Gary Trousdale to love again during the late eighties.
      • In 1968 Tobin discovered a new area for settlement in the country of Northern Ireland. It has since become populated and named after its founder. The city of Belfast continues to grow to this very day.
      • In 2007 the popular time keeping device/ instrument the Ring A-Ding A-Ding changed its name to The Bell in honour of Tobin's help in the fight against cancer wherein he wrestled a bear and held a wild goose chase. No money was raised from the event, but organizers felt he deserved some recognition for his tirless efforts to "Ring in public awareness"

        Tobin Bell dated a girl in 1971 who he cared for deeply, when on a mountain climbing weekend together she asked the emotionally distant Bell if "hb68e'd let himself fall for her?" Tobin replied "No!". The heartbroken woman ran home and committed suicide, Tobin felt bad but claims "I couldn't fall for herI'd have landed on the jagged rocks below us".
        Tobin Bell is a huge fan of the film "Weekend at Bernies" and is known to relate to the story after a 1989 incident where he accidentally killed his mother in law with a shovel and spend a period of months trying to make her corpse appear alive to his wife.His wife was horrified when she found out but came around when she realised the efforts Tobin had went to deceive her.
        Tobin Bell believes if he was any animal he'd be a black widow, as he kills men after having sex with themwhen interviewers ask Tobin if this means he is gay he distracts them by eating a large slab of raw pork.
        Tobin Bell recently invaded a vegetarian cooking show to express his pro-meat beliefs. He then proceded to remove a live chicken from his the front of his trousers before biting its head off in front of a shocked studio audience. Tobin justified it as an attempt to promote his upcoming cookery show "Tasty treats from the Bellend".
        Tobin has a very surreal fear of horses, to the extent that he keeps a clove of garlic and a crucifix under his bed. Where Tobin got that these were connected to warding off horses no one knows, but the lack of horse attacks on him during the night are in his opinion testement to their effectiveness.
        Tobin Bell has recently found himself in hot water after a child of one of his wives was found to have been tortured to death by both her and Bell. Tobin has since fled Haringey, North London and hopes he's heard the last of the incident.
        Tobin Bell recently got tracked down by the yeti he pissed off years ago, the yeti rang the door and Tobin invited him in believing him to be former student Michael Clarke Duncan. Luckily they ironed out most of their problems and are gonna get each others familys together for a picnic.
        Tobin Bell hates the Chinese, firstly because they invented noodles before his wildly unpopular 1994 product "strings from the Bellend" and secondly because they defeated his recent Olympic Games bid for Weymouth, Massachussets. Tobin did however learn to speak fluent Mandarin throughout the 80s stating "it'll be awesome when I can hold a conversation with one of those little oranges".
        In 1997 Tobin Bell tried to put the Navy out of business, his ideato start his own sailor training school right next to his school of acting. However after 4 months and a lot of confusion as to what the school did "Bellend Seamen" closed its doors.
        Tobin Bell believes the reason he didn't win a best actor oscar in 2008 for his appearance in Saw IV is due to some ageist beliefs of the academy. He backs this up b68by pointing out the number of times they stated that this was "No Country For Old Men".

          In 2003 Tobin invented a machine to facilitate communication between two people in different places. He tried to call it the telephone and open his own company called BT but unfortunately someone had beaten him to it. Not to be beaten he thought about calling it after himself - TB, before realising the implications of the letters and then setted on "Bell-end Interactions."

            Despite a lot of confusion on the matter it was not Tobin Bell who killed Vicky Hamilton, but rather it was Peter Tobin. The mistake has been made on numerous occassions and has led Tobin to become a recluse who mostly sits around his house eating endless supplies of raw pasta because he can't cook. Unless he snaps out of his condition director Kevin Greutert is prepared to use stock footage for mr Bell's parts in Saw VI.
            Tobin Bell invented sleep in 2004. Up until then people had just lay very still in the dark and let the time slowly pass.

              Tobin Bell will never celebrate the dawning of a new year, preferring instead to celebrate the end of every 300 days. This year Tobin's celebration took place in June and he does not understand the current fuss.

                Tobin Bell is so popular in Liverpool U.K, that a petition was signed by over 5million people to have a stand at Everton football Club's stadium named after him. Therefore from 2012 the Bullen's road end of Goodison park will be re-named the bell-end! In honour of the genius that is Tobin Bell.

                    Tobin was originally cast in the 1997 blockbuster 'Titanic' as the lead male character 'Jack'. Tobin believed the devestating events which took place on the evening of April 14th 1912 were infact a 'Game'. It was his belief that all who were aboard the Titanic had wasted their lives and thus would be tested to see how dearly they valued life itself. This was a theory which was not popular among the crew, and more importantly the relatives of those who perished on this fateful night. Leonardo DiCaprio was subsequently cast when Tobin decided to leave the project after meetings to discuss the films script. Tobin's suggestion was to include an additional scene at the end of the film, feat2000uring a voice over exclaiming 'Game Over'. It is popularly believed the film was more successful with Leonardo as the lead male than it would have been with Tobin, due to the alleged size of his manhood.

                      Power is currently measured in Watts though there is a quiet majority pushing for the unit to be changed to The Tobin,. The only problem this would cause is that every figure given in Tobins would be a decimal as nothing on earth or beyond is as powerful as 1 Tobin Bell.
                      Molière wrote the play Tartuffe although in 1994 Tobin Bell wrote the revised abridged version despite not speaking French and never having read the original.
                      The queen is actually 170 having had 2 birthdays every year. Tobin Bell is only 8 years old having conquered time at the age of 7 but waiting until he was 52 at the age of 8 to beat the aging process.
                      E. M. Forster wrote Howards End though Tobin Bell refuses to believe this and will only consent to read copies of the novel annotated to show the title of the piece as Bells-End.
                      Did you know that the ancient and original word for bat wasFlittermouse Tobin Bell of course discovered the species in 1986 and named the creature The Bell-ette. Unfortunately someone had beaten him to it.
                      In 1804 Tobin Bell divorced his wife of 18 years after becoming enraged that her shapely hips held her trousers securely in place whilst his own slender manly frame consistently failed to hold his clothing up for any length of time causing many a humiliating incident. For the good of marriages everywhere he selflessly toiled for years and finally in 1982 invented a device designed to secure male trousers to the body. He named it The Tobin Belt but was disappointed to discover that someone had beaten him to it.

                          The heart of a HORSE? Unless you have visual proof somewhere for everyone to see online or to scan, I high doubt that he has the heart of a horse!!!! Why would he be given a horse's heart?

                          "I Love You!" - Nothing is more purer than that
