Re: Sinister: Any Calvin and Hobbes fans?

why yes, i'm a calvin and hobbes fan. i think it's (was, i should say) one of the newspaper comic strips that's actually worthwhile. (others would be zippy the pinhead and underworld) since you're asking about comics, does anyone read 'em? i'm thinking of eightball, the acme novelty library, palooka-ville, hate, and sooooooo on... i love comics, myself. andrew. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

All the same words are there They gave 8 out of 10. That's great..but they gave 9 to Oasis's The Masterplan. The world is not fair. Is there a place in hell for me and my friends ? ~~~^~^v^~^v^~^v^~^v^~v^~^v^~^v^~ Ivo A P Escossia NP: [Serge G and Jane B ] Je t'aime (moi non plus) Why ?

RE: Sinister: tongue kissing
by Arcos, Maria 24 Nov '98

I completely agree with Dramatis. If you ask most people kissing *is* cheating. Jessica, if you are still in doubt, why don't you ask Ahren's girlfriend. I'm sure she could enlighten you on the finer details. You are exactly the kind of girl (I don't say woman cuz obviously you are not mature enough) other women have to look out for. So enjoy your little ride-it won't last! -----Original Message----- From: Dramatis Personae [mailto:tragedienne@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 1998 9:19 AM To: sinister(a)majordomo.net Subject: Re: Sinister: tongue kissing Jessica wrote: "okay, so i got up all my nerve and kissed ahren in the stockroom. tongue and everything, and a little groping." Normally, I would say "You go girl!!", but Ahren's got a girlfriend, so this makes the two of you partners in mischief. If Ahren were my man, oh the two of you would get a swift ass-whooping! Aren't there plenty of single men to seduce? God, some women just have no respect for other women's property! _________________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Mullet haircuts
by jessica 24 Nov '98

frank yang was in oshawa for some reason, and he wrote: >>Having lived amongst the mullet-headed for a summer (Oshawa Ontario provides >invaluable field study opportunities for those interested in this species), I can >offer the following:<snip><< this is hilarious! i have a friend who lives in oshawa and goes to school in peterborough, so i can attest that every word frank says is true (at least about the ontario mullet culture). i think maybe part of the reason people get mullet haircuts and drive camaros (seen the other day: an iroc z emblazoned with "iroc your world") that live in smaller towns is that they don't realise that "the big city" isn't so big after all, and they feel distanced from any sort of reality. so they have to rely on television to form their style, and on smaller networks the only choice is often saved by the bell reruns and odd south american shows and horrible canadian broadcasting. so this whole mullet culture transforms itself simultaneously, i think, you end up in the frame of mind that if you're going to be cool that you should go the whole nine yards and not only go for the mullet, but also get the pink velcro reebok hitops and the spandex pants and the oversize sweatshirt hanging off one shoulder with "trinidad" on the front, and pink lipstick and blue eyeshadow and slouch socks, and find yourself a man who drives a pickup and drinks bud out of one of those novelty hats with the pouches for your beer and the straw that comes down so you don't have to get distracted while you're driving. ah yes, the sociology experiment that is ontario. truly, jessicaxo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: if you know that you are thinking, are your thoughts genuine?
by Alix Campbell 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

STOAT! >You are >exactly the kind of girl (I don't say woman cuz obviously you are not >mature >enough) other women have to look out for. now, that is HARSH! personally i wish jessica all the best. but it's probably better that i shut up, else i'll get me into trouble again. there is no food in this house. my mother expects me to eat nasty runny soup. i would rather stick my head up a dead bear's arse. looks like it's the salad cream sandwich again.. relevance - je ne pense pas je ne know french pas either. i was followed by a UFO on saturday night. this is possibly the least Sinister thing i've ever done. i was forced to run away from the weird hovering thingy, in slight fright. just had to check i'd not written 'weird hoovering thingy'. it wasn't like an alien spaceship, more a big rotating stripy cloud. similar to that woody allen film about sex. only not a giant tit. actually it was nothing like that film. time to SHUT UP. alix.c "So don't approach me if you've no more to say than what you've been doing, or how much you paid for the beer in your hand. I really don't care and I might have to kill you, which wouldn't be fair.

Sinister: Duffel solidarity
by Robin Stout 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

I have a duffel coat, which i love, but I seem to get no end of abuse for wearing it. Insults usually take the highly original form of "OI, duffel!". I just run away - once they get you by the toggles there's no escape. The chief culprits are puffa jacket wearers, the types who hang around the bus stops with their "White Storm" cider cos they're too young to get in the pubs. Maybe the duffel is the puffa's natural enemy. In a natural history documentary about the life of coats, I imagine the puffa would be like some sort of rabid dingo and your duffel would be a graceful gazelle. Sorry, I'm getting a bit carried away with this. So, on to matters musical... David Moore wrote about his dilemma over what to put on a B&S compilation: "what has to go? First thoughts are E. Renaissance/Dylan In the Movies/IYFS/Century of Broccoli, but then I'm stuck." Actually, the songs above are the ones that I'd definitely keep. Now I know this is all just a matter of opinion and i don't want to start any this-song's-better-than-that arguments, but if you want to reflect B&S's diversity, E. Renaissance, Century of Elvis and IYFS are esssential, as is Le Pastie. And personally, I think Electronic Renaissance is wonderful. In reply to whoever wrote about the Divine Comedy a few days ago, I agree that the Short Album About Love is one of their best, but I'd say that and Promenade are my favourites. Maybe this is something to do with the hopeless romantic in me. I don't really rate Fin De Seicle much apart from Eric The Gardener which is fantastic and sounds like a clockwork roundabout. As David Kitchen stuck up for council estates, I'd like to do the same for trailer parks. I know someone from California, my only true friend from America, called Dave. I met him at university last year and we used to call him, rather unoriginally, American Dave. Well, American Dave is a little difficult to explain, but to sum him up I'd say he is the funniest person I've ever met, he completely changed my opinion of Americans, and he lives on a trailer park. Maybe Dave is an exception, but just as council estates aren't the sole reserve of the casuals, all people who live in trailer parks aren't trash. It's all to do with circumstance I suppose, you live where you have to, even if it's the planet of the apes, or Birmingham. I blame Maggie Thatcher. Are David and Katrina going out with each other? Or am I just being stupid?

>>why can't i be happy being alone, and why isn't that okay with >>everyone else? not everyone is meant for someone. >What I learned is that if you want to be happy being alone, >everybody else will be =perfectly= happy with that decision. Like >me, say. Har har. Ouchie. I have been wondering about that a lot .. I am a loner most of the time cos I am very narrowminded and need to get my own way ..and can't amuse myself like everybody else (I don't to) As I always was like that I got used to hiding in my room with a book and some good music .... Now I do have one good friend but apart from that Only once in a while though I get lonely ...and wish I could ... find people to spend my time with ... But I can't cos it would be pretty rude ... cos 90 or say 80 percent of the time I want to be alone ... and that wouldn't be fair on a friend you know I don't want people to ask me to join in things I hate doing cos I don't wanna say no .... vanxxx _____________________________________________________ Forgive me for I have not sinned csaa7950(a)uibk.ac.at _gapminder(a)yahoo.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
