Sinister: San Francisco/ Bay Area picnic
by Tara Widmer 20 May '98

20 May '98

Calling all Bay Area bunnies, the SF meet for this weekend is still a go, so be there or indeed, be square! Barring some unforeseeable weather catastrophe, we will be congregating on Hippy hill in Golden Gate Park (that's near the kiddie's playground) from Noon to whenever, on Sunday May 24th. Directions (courtesy of a nice lad called Brian) are as follows: "facing gg park from the tip of haight, hippy hill is in the front to the left side right next to the big childrens playground. on sundays there is a large impromtu-ish drum circle and people play ball and frisbee and lounge on colorful spring blankets and dance and kiss the sun." The weather is looking good for Sunday - Mild, sun mixed with clouds; low of 52°, high 68°F (bring a cardigan maybe) So far we've got chips/salsa, bean salad, cookies, potato salad (I think?) and erm, vodka.... anything along those lines, just let me know what you can bring. EVERYONE is invited, so don't be shy! "shyness is nice, but..." you know the rest... this includes friends of listees, of course. I don't even really know any of the other people, but they seem very nice and surely it'll be fun:-) I'll post again before the picnic, but in the meantime if you have any questions, feel free to contact me privately. ta, tara ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Honey
by Martin Conneely 20 May '98

20 May '98

According to An Intimate History of Humanity by Theodore Zeldin (1994), p 94, "honey was called the perspiration of the sky, the saliva of the stars" Wouldn't PerspirationoftheskysalivaofthestarsPaul have a good ring to it? Now that we've had a few weeks of pish, and there seems no hope of the bunnies returning, wouldn't a signature of perspiration and saliva be good? But not as the second of a series! Martin C.

Sinister: I could be dreaming...
by Anna J 20 May '98

20 May '98

Hej allihop! Yesterday I had my very first (that I can remember, anyway) B&S dream, so I thought I'd tell you all about it. A friend of mine had received an invitation to some Jeepster super-VIP reception which was to be held in some cottage here in Sweden just outside the town where I live. I don't know why she in particular got the invitation, she doesn't even have any B&S, although I once borrowed her some and she liked it. Anyway it said on the invitation that she could bring once or two people so she told me I could come since she knows how pathetically obsessed with them I am, and I kept thinking of this other friend who also loves B&S, who is the only one I know who likes them without me having introduced him, and of how happy he would be to come, but my friend said that it was so secret that we couldn't tell anyone cos then thousands of people would show up. (Hmmm... thousands of people to a Jeepster thing in Sweden?) So I left, feeling a bit bad, but really excited. When I got there we were welcomed and I think we got some drink and then a small form to fill in and provided we did that we could all come back later and meet each a member of B&S (for a chat for maybe 30 minutes or so) and I was wondering who I'd get to talk. Since I saw a picture of Stuart Murdoch which is the only member I've ever seen a picture, I keep imagining all the members having red hair (do they?) anyway so I was thinking about the different members, looking almost exactly the same although the girls had longer hair. Then they let us go in to some kind of indoors amusement parks, while we were waiting, and I'm afraid that in a big, I don't know what you call them, sea of balls, you know, room filled with colourful balls to jump in, I completely forgot about B&S (just like me) and I never got to meet anyone. Sorry, I could have asked lots of saucy questions and told you all about their secrets, but I blew it. But I had a nice time playing in the ball-sea so I guess it doesn't matter. :) What do you think all that meant? Oh well, that's it, now I'm going off to get my beauty sleep before Massive Attack tonight (tihi). Simma lugnt, Anna :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Well I do have to wear a suit, so nyah and get it round you. My underpants are always saucy partially due to an eating disorder I have, and the cheap quality of my attire. More soupy than saucy, you see. I am a clumsy oaf. Cup a soups retain heat for a long time, don't you know. My work place is a veritable fashion parade, every single man and woman a beauty of world fashion model standards. Apart from me, cos i'm the clegg of fund management.

Sinister: rude stuff
by Honey 20 May '98

20 May '98

Well it's not really. Chris Leonard just asked me to send something "funny" to the list, which as you know is against all my principles, so when I refused he's now sending me smutty and lewd innuendoes about list members. He's a bad boy and I bet he's wearing his saucy underpants at work today. In the meantime, can I be a total bore and ask people to remember again that replies to the digest won't go back to the list but to me? And then they sit in my mailbox for ages, I grumble to Splat "why doesn't anyone care, Splat?", she mutters "pish" and eventually inspite of my threats to just delete them, I send them on, with a grumpy look on my face, and accuse myself of being a right old sod. By which time the original poster has sent them again and I look like Arthur Mullard. Also - there's a right old tigermilky knees-up going on on rec.music.marketplace.vinyl at the moment. Here's a quick sample for fun, with some surprising comments about the old scratchy classic: Subject: Re: FS: Belle and Sebastian "Tigermilk" From: nez(a)usaor.net Date: Sat, 16 May 1998 09:56:59 -0700 Newsgroups: rec.music.marketplace.vinyl I'm basing my thoughts on the worth of this record by the fact that I just picked up TWO copies of it in Europe last month--one copy for 46 pounds--a mint copy--, (under a hundred bucks) one for 32 pounds--in very good condition--(about 50 bucks). As it goes when shopping for hard to find music the elements of luck and timing mean almost everything. A minute later or a day sooner and I may not have found them. But the point is, without trying very hard I found 2 copies for 2 of my customers--which I in turn sold for ZERO profit by the way--I take vacations all the time where I am more than happy to shop for out of print items for my customers, wanting nothing in return but the money I paid for a particular item. Making someone else happy with music makes me feel good. MUSIC is what this is all about isn't it??? That's it - go and have a look but please don't bring the growlings that are appearing on that newsgroup here: as you know, we all like dandelions, skipping ropes and fluffy puppies here.
