Sinister: have you ever tried it that way?
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 26 May '99

26 May '99

From: CALLENDAR R <RACALLEN(a)glam.ac.uk> Subject: Sinister: Respons to Response to rebelstrange's message from a gayboy I thought I'd just send a reply to Chris' message [below]. I totally agree with everything he says. Being gay, the 'scene' is ultimately annoying. I go out and have fun, but at times the whole bitchyness/competativeness gets on my nerves. mmmm..... i'd just like to state here, that i really don't have much of an opinion on what you lads have said as to the gay "scene". first of all, i'm not a boy, so i dont 'know much about all that.....;o) and i am not involved in any scene to speak of. i recently became acquainted with two gay men at my campus, that's about the extent of my personal contact, unless you count you guys out in email land. but it's nice to have started a conversation. it's very sad that all the gay clubs would play steps and spice girls and things like that. i guess it's the stereotype in my mind as well---those 'bangin' house musics like "aww-ah ye-ah....wannabe my loo--ver" you know what i'm talking about? im' sorry. that song just popped into my head. You'd think though that b/s would appeal to the population, what with their tales of disillusioned schooldays, gender confusion, and what not. and the fact they've got something for everyone on the crush-front. (teehee) i *like* bagpipes. i like any sort of pipes, esp those ones they play in Eastern European folk music, they soudn a bit like bagpipes but it seems you can get more notes out of them?? i forget what they call them. but i had to defend the lowly bagpipe! Francesca, on the JD Salinger thing........ his books aren't really pervy as far as i know. but it's well documented that he has a penchant for er.....young girls half his age. can anyone authenticate this for me? some chick who lived with him when she was 17 or something wrote an entire book about it. and he was old and crusty when it happened. that's enough for me to call PERV!!!! but i'm prone to that sort of thing. i 've known a lot of pervs in my time and i can sniff them a mile away. Sarah mentions the legendary Jim Ruiz group. i only recall one song by them, called "my Amsterdam" it was pretty groovy. but interestingly they will be forever linked in my mind to Papas Fritas *aforementioned* probably cos i heard them on the radio around the same time one day a very long time ago on the indie P!O!P! show. yes. you should all listen to papas fritas, they are lovely. "TV Movies" is the bestest song! you will sing along. *hello tobie* *waves* On the whole subject of bisexuality, it was recently revealed to me by a little bird, that Artgirl (previously mentioned super-crush and lust object) is, in fact, BI. eh-oh?? what have we here?? i sense......"i need some lovin'......" yes thank you stevie! could it be?? could it be SOMEBODY might have a design on little ME??? OOHHHHH the places we'll go..... gamboling, capering, *and* frolicking, LJ http://www.members.tripod.com/rebelstrange they were like those gauche youths who turn up to house parties only to cling to the dark corners in chaste disdain, driven by the naive, vaguely inhuman conviction that all merriment is a lie.

Sinister: Seattle Pic-Nic....
by Elish Hope 25 May '99

25 May '99

Just a wee message for those still too twee to post to the Bootleg board, there is a Seattle pic-nic in the works for June 27th. Due to the amount of people located in Oregon, Seattle and Canada, this appears to be something of a middle ground. HOWEVER! If there are enough people to have a separate Seattle pic-nic, then we will have TWO! :) Okay, so just email me if you are interested and I will do my best to keep everyone up to date, organize car pools, yada, yada, yada. Enough. Thanks for you time, foreign sinisterites!!! Snoggs, Elle PS- I cannot seem to get into the list crush web site, why is that? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: free blondie!!

In a post more warped than the sizing system at the Gap, Ian wrote: <<i was a bit bored so i kidnapped sarah cracknell from saint etienne and have imprisoned her in my cellar. >> As self-proclaimed founder and President of the recently established Sarah Cracknell Appreciation Society, I CANNOT stand by and let this happen!! NO! My crack team of bleach blonde go-go dancing hostage negotiators are on their way, armed with feather boas, so watch out, buster!!! While on the subject, Saint Etienne are currently touring the US, and I *strongly* urge anyone within cat-throwing distance to go see them, regardless of whether you're familiar with the band or not. A good time is guaranteed for all. Sarah is a total glam queen and although she's teensy, she could probably take Isobel in a fight. Struan, too. hi, my name is Tara, I live in San Francisco, and although i've been quiet I've been around for quite some time.. . for about 42 rounds of the perennial " belle and sebastian-ish/favorite books" thread, anyway. (I've got an ancient compilation of listee recommendations, anyone interested in a copy please contact me privately.) Interestingly, the same books/authors seem to pop up a lot, though one I don't remember being mentioned is "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" by Thornton Wilder. It's a very sad collection of tales about these lonely people who are all destined to the same doomed fate. Something about the way the characters in the book are described, and their approaches to life remind me of Judy, Lisa, et al. The rest of y'all probaby read this book in junior high, but I was in total VC Andrews worship back them ... <slaps wrist> Anyway, go back, read it, enjoy, cry. back into hibernation, Tara (who wants to know why a CD proclaiming itself "the best Latin music album in the world...ever!" includes a Beck song??????) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: bagpipes, madam? no, fuck off.
by Alix Campbell 25 May '99

25 May '99

hello dainty ones as Ms.casarotto should have learned by now, bagpipes are crap. i only hope that should he acquire any, he will realise his grave folly, and cries 'woe, woe is me, what foolishness hath i done?' they are horrid. i want to poke pointed sticks intothe bowels of bagpipes. especially that bloke's who busks outside midland bank in town. i give him the evil eye, yet he plays on. bastard. ruining yet anothers days shopping for millions. they only give him money so he'll be fiscally satiated, and therefore able to pack up and go home. to explain: the reason that the inhabitants of chalet 650 didn't put money on the roulette was for a number of reasons ~ 1. they were in awe of Ms. casarotto's roulette manner. 2. Ms. casarotto's roulette manner consisted of speaking french. when inebriated french is quite tricky. 3. they simply didn't understand the roolz. 4. they were too busy spilling red wine on the carpet/ roulette board 5.we weren't playing for money. it was those little bits of plastic. hardly an incentive to try hard, is it? unless you wanted to see how many you could stick up your nose. i reckon i could get three up my nose. i used to be able to get loads of digestive biscuits in my mouth at once, you know. keith said: >Incidentally, contrary to popular opinion, Comedy isn't the new rock and >roll, Monkeys are. and i'd have to agree. just think about the HUGE monkey near bowlie. we took a picture, did we not? it embodied rock and roll. fucking scary too, like all good rock and roll. i work with someone who claims to have kidnapped robbie williams. but, somewhat cunningly she keeps him up her bum. i'm not sure about the technicalities involved, but it's better than holding popstars hostage in your cellar. you always know where they are, for instance, and you'd certainly know if they tried to escape. who else watched the documentary on precious last night? who else stopped watching a 1/3 of the way through? eurovision isn't about any old shite, it's about proper shite. not mediocre shite like bloody precious. i hope greece win. they always use interesting instruments that noone ever heard of. that's because the contestants funny uncle made it for them. out of old string and goat's gonads. it's similar to wearing jumpers your decrepid aunt knits for your birthday, only on national television. i'm opening a stoat sanctuary in the south of france in the near future. so far it's all been a bit like challenge anneka. leggings and huge walkie talkies. and curiously, roumanian orphans too. i'm going to train the stoats to hunt for mayonnaise. and to hunt for the remote for my cd player because i keep hiding it from myself in my sleep. thankyou alix.x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: John! John! L@@K! READ THIS ONE!
by susannah 25 May '99

25 May '99

Kids. Further to my last post, stating that if all else fails in my quest to return to full employment, I intend to become a cheap whore, I mean, high class escort girl, I happened to browse this comment: 'as for those of you considering the sex industry, one warning: i deal with sex a lot with my job and i have friends who are sex workers, and while san francisco in general provides a sex-positive environment, i've seen it take its toll mentally (as well as physically). innocence lost is never fully regained.' If only I had a shred of innocence left mate. Anyway, you're right, I refuse to do it with anyone I don't fancy. Unless I'm drunk or they've got wads of cash. Which is what being a prostitute is all about. Shit, scrub that one. I've decided to keep prostitution on the back burner for now anyway and go for something where no actual physical contact is required. Sex chat lines, right? If you read 'Ms. London' and 'Girl about Town' and those other free shit magazines they hand out outside tube stations, the industry is gagging for people to sit on a line and talk dirty. God knows I've the experience, and this time I'll get paid! Top! I mean, whats the problem right? You can sit at home watching TV, painting your nails, eating your tea ( sound effects a bonus) and just let it all come out. I've got a filthy mind, you all know that, I'd be a natural. If anyone wants to try me out, just to see if I've got the knack, ring me on 0898 435 7685 and tell me what you think. Yesterday I applied for a job as a Trainee Press Officer. The spec asked for an 'interesting' letter. Well, I was f**ked if I knew what that meant (** as didnt want to offend Enid Blyton, I gather she's on the list). I wrote these exact words, laughed at my own self then sent it off.:- I am applying for the post of Trainee Press Officer as advertised in The Guardian and as well as being attractive, funny and highly successful in any situation I encounter, I am also ideal for this position. Having graduated from The University of Newcastle upon Tyne with a 2.2 in Genetics, I can demonstrate that not only have I acquired a good scientific education, but I am not adverse to a bit of socialising. Blah Blah Blah about current job (yawn) My current employment has also involved a small amount of photography, although I am unable to produce any examples as they are confidential and not for the squeamish. I can assure you though, they are of excellent quality. I attach my C.V. and look forward to hearing from you soon, although not between June 1st 14th as I am on holiday in the Caribbean, which is non-negotiable. Yours Sincerely etc. Well, I thougth it was funny, I suppose you had to be there, shut up etc. Susannah. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: things stuck in arses
by jessica 25 May '99

25 May '99

two words for you all: upside down, baby. oh well, that was three. but it was also good. aren't you all so excited about the pending austin powers movie? i once stuck a piece of foam in my nose, i don't know why really but i was so embarassed that i had done it that i hid in my room all day breathing in through my mouth and out through my nose to try and dislodge it. i'm not sure what actually worked, but i know i got it out myself and was so relieved that i wouldn't need to be embarrassed by a hospital visit where i would be poked and prodded and have lights shone into me. my cousin put a macaroni elbow into his ear, and when my uncle finally was able to remove it he went ahead and put the macaroni back in. the same thing happened a few years later with his younger brother and a bean. i went to the saint etienne show last night, it was tops! i was the one that screamed "i love you sarah" when it was all quiet and she looked at me and smiled and laughed. i also have photos (both black+white and colour, what else is new?) that should be developed in the next week or so. oh, and elisapet, i met a boy named leonard who knows you from the avenue list, which i used to be on but got scared and never posted so i left. is he on sinister? if you are, a big hello! but i bought a way overpriced st et teeshirt, which is sooo lovely. it's baby blue and has the big glam sylvie eyes on the front. <sigh>. i need to launder it, though, because it reeks of stale cigarette smoke (i don't understand why i never pick up the fuzzy pot smells that are around me). ohoh, and also i saw a boy standing outside lee's palace likely waiting for sarah et al after the show, and he was wearing a looper shirt!!! even though i don't like looper, i was tempted to go up to him and say hello and casually work b+s into the conversation. but i sadly didn't, i was tired and shy. it's funny how i always thought i'd bounce right on over to someone wearing a shirt like that, but then an opportunity comes and goes and i wasn't a part of it. poo. the above paragraph just proves that silly ian wasn't being entirely truthful about having sarah cracknell in his basement, at least not for last night because she was busy smiling at me and being drooled over by boys in toronto. i got a very exciting notice for an expresspost document waiting for me at the post office today. i think i'll have to have some snacks before i venture out, though - maybe that pineapple on the table would be a good idea, since it's chilly and grey and blustery and really more windy than blustery and not at all tropical. that's enough from me, i've got a terrible backlog of emails waiting for me to read and reply to because i've been writing my cursed essay for the last four days. so if i haven't written back, be patient, please. you'll get your reply in the next day or so. bootylove, jessicaxo ps. sadly, it doesn't look like i'll be able to make the toronto sinister picnic, as i have to work on the 29th. i'm sending my love, though, and trusting that someone else will take pictures of drunk listees. pps. it's just turned stormy outside so i won't be visiting the post office after all. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * someone had spied on us, i suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or coca-cola but hot milk out of a thermos. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * t i n y s t a r @ w o r l d y . c o m (it's lovely being a girl) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: CHEESE FOOD!
by jennifer phillips-bacher 25 May '99

25 May '99

Hello darlings one and all. It's that time of year again when all the children of Sinisteria gather round my feet and listen to my long-winded and not very interesting retelling of the story of the Great Midwest Picnic. So do as I say, sit down for chrissake, shut yer trap, and let me talk. We had a picnic in Madison Wisconsin. Yes, there really are civilized people here in Wisconsin. We have running water and everything! Cheese abounds, naturalment, and Tim Hopkins was there in spirit. At least I could feel him eyeing the garlic flavored cheese food. Yes, you heard me: GARLIC FLAVORED CHEESE FOOD. If it's good enough for cheese to eat, it's good enough for me. There were 6 people in attendance (a huge 50% increase over last year's shindig), including the mysterious John F. Monroe. Mark Kolmar came all the way from exotic Schaumburg Illinois to join the festivities. Cathy, Lance and Doug E. Fresh were there as well. You are all jealous by now because you've missed the cow shaped cookies and pixy stix. Did you know that the serving size for pixy stix is 7 sticks? Fact. A smashing game of Jarts was played. Jarts are illegal you know. None of that twee-as-fuck law abiding shit around these parts. We are not jelly-filled danishes, we are tough as hell and we hate the pigs. We divided into teams of 3. In an attempt to boost team morale, we came up with a name: Manic Street Jarters. But like our namesakes, the more jarts we threw, the more crap we became. After falling behind by a few points, I adopted a new strategy: Aim directly for the opposing team members. I nearly got Mark in the noggin. My team emerged victorious, and I won't be modest....we RAWKED. John F. Monroe supplied the prize (a TBWTAS promo flat), which, instead of going to Doug and Lance's Jart Lodge, now adorns my bathroom door. Thanks John! After jarting around for a bit, we all went to buy cds and drink beer. I bought the new Lilys cd. It's perfect for sunny afternoons, but I really don't know what the singer is going on about. Then more beer. Then even more. So, that was it basically. It was a lovely time, and I know that all of you people in surrounding states like Indiana, Minnesota, and Iowa are all kicking yourselves for not coming. And too bad for you. :) ***How come no one on this list ever talks about POP ROMANTIQUE? *****The Onion. You know it, you love it. Satirical newsgiant/website based in Madison, WI. They had a signing for their new book, Our Dumb Century, a few weeks ago at Borders. The fellow who is Smoove B signed my book "I will sex you until the break of dawn. Love, Smoooove". Uh huh. True story. *******Also let me just say that it was not I who voted 18 times for Trousers. 18 TIMES? Good god. That's what happens when you go around showing everyone your winky. Would anyone like to see mine? harhar. But seriously folks, anyone who knows me knows that I voted for Isobel Campbell. If someone would like to come forward as the person who voted for me, come forward and let me whisper sweet nothings in your ear. Ok, I'll see you around in a few months, you carriage full of pishrogues. much love, jenn pb xo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
