Sinister: linguistic trainspotting
by Amy Golden 09 Mar '98

09 Mar '98

Say, since this list has already tackled spawny gits & the bar vs. biscuit conundrum, I was hoping someone could take a crack at the significance of 'pants.' Clearly, it is undesirable to be deemed pants, but why? To Americans pants are just, I guess you'd say, 'trousers.' Surely there are more disagreeable items of apparel to be compared to: jock strap, thong, adult diaper... Please explain. Lynne St. Andrews (ooh, that does have a certain ring) a.k.a. Natasha Claiborne a.k.a.

Sinister: Re: Douglas Coupland
by sgawdin＠netcom.ca 09 Mar '98

Hi, I was taking a peek-a-boo at the archive to get a feel for this list and noticed something from I guess last week about Coupland's new book Girlfriend In A Coma. I read it Friday night and counted 10 Smiths/Moz song references. (but then I would count such things). Shawn ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: More in-jokes about parties in Trousers.
by babyblu＠gold.globalcafe.co.uk 08 Mar '98

> > > anyone out there read alan warner's novel _morvern callar_? > he's got a new > one out though, hasn't he? supposed to be good. Indeed. It's called "The Sopranos," is out now in trade paperback (which is sort of half way between a paperback and a hardback) for nine pounds ninety nine and I'm about three pages in. So far it seems to be far closer to 'Morvern Callar' than 'These Demented Lands' in fact most of the characters I've met so far seem to be pretty similar to Morvern's best mate (whose name escapes me). It's set in the same wee Shetland village as 'Morvern' and dodgy pub/club The Mantrap is in it again! A thumping powerhouse, rollercoaster of a read. (Ahem) Stay young, stay foolish, stay beautiful,Roryxxx P.S. Anyone like Haruki Murakami? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: give your mack a smack
by blink＠inexpress.net 08 Mar '98

08 Mar '98

Dear Sinisters! Hello! You all talking your lovely mix of things again.... It is nice to be back....I got to go with my friend to her high school...it was alright,I feel a bit different though...this one girl was trying to be nice with me and she asked me if I like this one band...can't remember who it was..wy..wyclef? Or something,then I try and describe for her what music I like and *surprise* she didn't leap out of her seat and hug me and go 'Oh Belle and Sebastian,me too,isn't Stuart David a dreamboat!' no...she goes 'Oh,so like nofx.'..anyways..then she looked disgustedly at my brett Anderson picture and tell me how ugly he is...*sigh* ...BUT I do get sympathy,just from being from Quebec..(should i be insulted?) but the wrestling coach scare me! Now I undersatnd your PE stories (see I don't have a teacher like that) He was nice but he would sorta bark at me and ask if Quebec City was a province....or he would ask me something,and as I finish saying it I see he's not even listening there but throwing some boy onto the mat,all while some guy on the excercise bike (do they pay him to jsut cycle? He never wrestled,and I was there for 2 hours...2 houuuurs! 2!) made fun of things... Do you know in some places for school you have to get up at 7:30! HOw do they expect you to learn! Then I had a real weird moment..i was in the biology class,and this one boy struck me out from the rest,I don't know why,then I find out it's this guy,the same boy 8 years ago when I was little I would arm wrestle and bike race him (and I won! On my girly teedy bear bike..I won!)It's so weird..from this guy you knew so well,then 8 years go by and you see him with multi-coloured hair wearing a speedo! Speaking of porn stars etc... I was in Blockbusters (in the DRAMA section! SO I don't know why he ask me this) but some weird little man ask me my opinion on this movie 'tales of erotica' or soemthing like that,and for the record I did not rent naughty movie I rented Before Sunrise! Was that girl crazy? I would've thrown Ethan in the river and tell that poet to start writing some more poems for me! Mrrrrowwww....wasn't he gorgeous! The unbuttoned shirt...the tousled hair,the accent..the poem...Dominik Dominik.. My name....Sugar Daly.....I sound like a boxer,not a porn star..I don't think I would get much work....BUT if I use my friends version of how to find it I get Scrumptious Valecka..that is little bit better? Yes..I should've told that guy to rent Scrumptious Valecka's movies.... hee hee,I'm gonna leave this email but I'm not gone,yes I have to blah blah blah about many other things so you arne't rid of me yet...! All this talk about speaking 'Scottish'! I wish more people would,so lovely!I try but I can only do so many words...'but would you no like tae be Scottish' actually,I would like to live on a hill with a Scottish boy it would be so fun! smooch smooch smooch, Sugar Daly ermmm Genevieve! ;) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Hi, Sinisters ! >Shirley W. wrote " I want to know if anyone positively *doesn't* like Nick Drake?" Yeah!
