Sinister: poor little lobster
by Angel Blackwell 10 Jan '00

10 Jan '00

I would like to post a personal apology to the lobster I ate on Saturday night. It was a happy little thing, swimming around, playing lobster games. In walks one sister little angel, who is slightly sloshed, and well you can guess what happened. He's having his revenge on me though. Has has made me very ill and I deserve it. It's been years since I've eaten meat, and it will be a very long time til I do it again. I finally got 3..6...9 seconds of light. I'm all happy. My collection is almost complete. Okay it's not but I wanna look kewl anyway. Oh yeah, I want all you little torontonian sinsterites to email me. I miss you all dearly and feel that we should do another little get together. My little kitten, Etta, says she misses you too. I would post on that board thingy but for some reason my firewall here has forbidden me to look at it...must be that body parts page... love and squishes a. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: Achilles heel? I've got an achilles body
by cbrown2＠mmm.com 10 Jan '00

10 Jan '00

Hello everybody, this is my first post and I'm lacking in inspiration but I've been lurking for a while so I thought I ought to send something to all you lovely people. Hmmm where to start? Myname's Chris and I'm currently working in London at being a very small fish in a very big pond. I already know some of you through the tape tree (I told you I'd been lurking) and probably bumped into quite a few of you at Tigermilking on Friday. I was celebrating my birthday (don't ask let's just say late twenties) and was very, very drunk so I'm sorry if I accidentally bumped into you or stumled in your general direction leering (oh yeah, I just remembered, if the girl who snogged my friend Alex is out there, what was that bloomin' writing on the back of your little note? None of us have degrees in ancient languages). Thanks to Mark and the others for playing some lovely tunes and I'm sorry if I pestered you for obscure stuff. Anyway, I have to put in some B&S gubbins don't I? I did have a strange occurrence over Christmas when I went to see my mummy and not so baby anymore sister, I managed to sneak Tigermilk onto the car stereo only to be greeted with lines such as "hmmmm, this isn't really your cup of tea is it? It's not all noisy and shouty" Am I wrong to find that irritating and then be even more freaked out when my mum said "it's quite nice isn't it" and my sister asked if she have a copy, along with the low christmas album and smog. Strange days indeed as a fat bloated misogynist once warbled. Anyroad up must go, love and hugs to you all Chris +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: A story about a fish
by Robin Stout 10 Jan '00

10 Jan '00

It seems like Christmas is the time of year for pets to swim, hop, and flutter their ways up to pet heaven. St Bernard, patron saint of pets has been found knocking on our door recently, or rather the bowl of my sister's little goldfish, Bob. You see, no sooner had I arrived home for Crimbo than I found Bob had died, tragically, in a car crash. Bob was swimming in his special travelling bowl, which has a lid with holes in it and used to contain mint humbugs. The bowl was on the passenger seat of my sister's boyfriend's car who was taking her stuff home. Bob was happy, just swimming about and spotting lorries out of the window. Then suddenly, the car in front stopped and they crashed into it. It was just a bump and Will, the driver, didn't even graze his knee, but looking at the bowl he saw Bob, floating motionless at the top. He'd have tried to recussitate it but gills are a job for a specialist, so little Bob was left to pop his tiny little clogs in peace. Special clogs, for fins I suppose. My sister's last fish, Trevor, only lived for two weeks and spent the whole time swimming upside down and turning a funny shade of grey, so I suppose compared to this Bob lived an eventful life, at least. I don't know if anyone saw it, but when I was reading a magazine at my Grandad's house I saw an advert for a program called 'Inner Tube' which was supposed to be behind the scenes of the Apocalypse Tube, on ITV. I think it was meant to be on Friday. But when I got home and looked in the paper there it didn't mention it. So now don't know if I was imagining it or not. Did anyone else see this program? Or was grandad's magazine actually a 'specialist publication' and I hadn't noticed? Inner tubes, eh? When the crowd say 'bo' Robin +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: She had a poke at the age 13
by vibrosheep＠junglemail.net 10 Jan '00

10 Jan '00

Miss Honey asked... >Did anyone in the UK watch "Digby The Biggest Dog In The World" over >Christmas on TV? Nope, but does bring back wonderful, if not slightly politically incorrect, memories of Exeter school days. Digby was in fact in the seventies the name of the local funny farm, and so with great disrespect to some of Exeters more colourful characters, they became known as Digbies. The application of this term was obviously widened to any child who showed any signs of learning difficulties. Oh school days eh ? Is it any wonder we all have complexes..WHAT? It's just me??? Our very own lovely Feather Dastoor mentioned the snippet in Select in WH Smiths....Well, I have it on a very reliable sauce that the whole band appear in a full-frontal pose in the latest edition of Mayfair gentlemans magazine. Honest, you go down your local newsagents and give it a scan tonight. I'm always looking through those quality publications for a glimpse of our favourite alcoholics. TOPSHELFARAMA. Bollocks to you then.

Sinister: I'm never going to be electable
by Martin Robinson 10 Jan '00

10 Jan '00

Dear all, It's a funny old world isn't it? But how can it not be with the likes of Les Dennis and Brian Conley amongst us? Where would we be without Les Dennis? I shudder to think. But only cause it hurts so. I'm presently suffering from a lack of sleep, probably because of the haunting visions I've been having since David Moore recounted tales of his wearing a boob tube. It's not an entirely unpleasant thought it's just not something you really want to take to bed with you if you want any sleep. I don't think that sentance turned out quite as I meant it. Freud eh? What did he know about slips. I bet Mr Moore's got many more women's undergarments than he ever had. Anyway onto other things, Tigermilking was much fun again if I remember rightly, so big ups to Mark, Sam, Kevan, Stevie, Lucy, Starry and Lixi. Almost enough DJ's to from a top pop group. Maybe. It was also very pleasant to see the charismatic Alastair down in the Big Smoke again with his quaint dialectal mumblings. And can I continue the "Ask Michelle corner" about Jefferson Airplane and other similar bands? As I finally got the double CD 2400 Fullton Street for Christmas, I've got most of the tracks already but it's a lovely orange package, a bit like a fine mature Red Leicester. Admittedly it was a present from me but luckily I already knew Santa didn't exist, and I'd like more info about hippy shit please Michelle. And obviously this is not just to annoy someone who turned down booze for a snooze on a Saturday night. Sorry, I've realised that I've probably confused many people with the line Santa doesn't exist, it's really OK kids he probably does exist he just doesn't visit me as I like hippy music. It's a fair cop really. Silly me. I really thought I had nothing to say. Te ra, Martin ear confection recordings (http://www.send.demon.co.uk) P.S Massive props go out to Jam Sandwich, Killah!, Monster and Muncher. Actually, I really fancy some crisps now. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: Its the end of the whirled as we know it(and I feel fine)
by Nick Kinsella 10 Jan '00

10 Jan '00

Dear friends, Umm, hi. Just left the nursery. A bit nervous, you know. First contact and all that. Everyone seems really nice though, friendly. Honey seems grand, too. What to say. Happy New Year, everyone. Bit late, though. Sorry. Errmm. Best say something profound, then leave. Alright then: Populism is Unthinking. There. Still here, though. Christmas was nice, Claire (wife) and me spent it on our own. Joe (brother) visited a bit. Just packed his wifetobe off on a plane to Zimbabwe for 8 months (she works there). Played him B&S songs to console him (B&S content, hurrah!). Still tough on him, though. New Year, nothing special. Just quiet, really. A few friends round, a few laments. Back at uni now. Hope I'll be here more often, but exams and that, you know. Take care everyone. God Bless. Paddyorkie *and then, after a while, they left, and all that remained was beauty, silent and bereft* ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Cheer me up....
by idle berry 10 Jan '00

10 Jan '00

urgh. Urgh again. Urgh and urgh again and again and again. Guess what? I have flu. I reckon there is definately a flu epedemic. We shouldn't rely upon NHS figures, cos I bet theres many people like me who can't be arsed waiting in a nasty wee doctors waiting room to be told "its the flu. Its a virus. go home, rest, take paracetamol and plenty of fluids". I reckon when I'm ill, I must have a male hormone inside me somewhere, even though I'm a girl. Cos I like to parade around, feeling sorry for myself and whinging to anyone who'll listen. I hate being ill. hot cold hot cold hot cold. I take baths to get my body temperature the same for a while, and to stop my limbs from aching. I'm ill. But clean as a whistle. where did that saying come from anyway? my thoughs are incoherent and I can't focus properly. I can't sleep. I have bizarre dreams. I want a cuddle. I'm a soppy thing today. I wish my boyfriend was here. Or I was there. Hes at the other side of the country at the moment working. I just want to snuggle up in his arms, rest my head on his chest and fall asleep in front of the telly. I miss him. Why is it, when I go to bed, I have my hair looking sleek and cute, but when I wake up, Dot Cottons stylist has snuck into my room and given me her look? I want a poncho. I went to a gig on Thursday. El Hobre Trajeado at the 13th Note Cafe in Glasgow. It was ace. I got the album, "skipafone" the next day. I'm not always so inspired. Honey said something about you lot all trying to get into each others pants? I've heard this before from other sinisterians. So, who has the best pants? And who has the worst? I got some new pants on Saturday. And some socks. And the flu. My mum had a poncho. she knitted it herself. its yellow, and perhaps in the loft. Or in Norway in a loft. My mum is Norwegian. I want her poncho. I can't go in the loft though. I'm scared of heights and I get dizzy after only climbing up two steps on the ladder. But i didn't get scared staying in those top floor rooms in hotels in the summer in glasgow. My mum looked cool in the 70's. I wish she'd saved her clothes. She had a lovely fitted brown suede jacket with patches on it that I've only seen pictures of. She was so pretty. My mum told me on Saturday she used to live on Byres Road. I never knew that. Heck, I never realised she actually lived in Glasgow. I knew she used to work there though. I want her poncho. I want a cuddle. Why am I feeling so odd right now? have you ever typed something and wondered about it? like, I know my mum isn't on this list. Nor does she care for B+S. Shes never heard them. Shes not into the internet. But what if she read this? she'd certainly guess I was her daughter. what would she do? or say? Someone sort out my head. The state that I am in. arf arf arf. my throat is sore. my ears hurt. I want a cuddle. If I won the lottery right now, I reckon I'd put it towards funding the ulitmate cure for flu. I'd have to start playing first. blimey, I just got deja vu. Strange things have been happening. I got a letter on Saturday. It was addressed to me, but it was my handwriting. I opened it up. I had created a DIY letter for a friend three years ago, so that he would bother to reply to my letters. All he had to do was tick the boxes. And plop it in the self addressed envelope I provided. And now, he sends it back to me. He must have moved three or four times since I sent it to him. And he still had it. I replied to his letter. Hes moving in March you see. If I didn't do it now, it would never get done. I have funny dreams. And I have become fed up with irn Bru. I've drunk it all morning and I can't bare the taste of it. Makes me feel sick. Do you want to know the best drink in the world? O-Boy. you can buy it at IKEA. I used to drink gallons of the stuff when I was a baby chipmunk. I really need a cuddle. if my boyfriend Mark bothers to read this, get your arse back up to Scotland and nurse me better and give me a cuddle. Please? Snuggle me back to health. Or send me flowers. Blokes should send more flowers. It says so in John Gray's "Men are from Mars, women are from venus". An entire chapter about how to score points with women. And for all the randy male sinisterians out there wanting to get into girls pants, I reccomend it as a useful guide. SEND FLOWERS! I'm tired. I think I'll go and watch some non taxing telly and worry about my exams next week. Wish me luck.

Sinister: Your telly sucks!
by jarkko frantila 10 Jan '00

10 Jan '00

Wouldn't it be great if your girlfriend/boyfriend would be called Telly? ha. Hello, goodbye, my blueberrypie... Yes, it's me, back to the neverending cycle that is called "dullness". Now, I know what you're going to say: "People under the stairs." You're weren't going to say that? Bugger. How about "My petsheep says baaaa when she's in a bad mood." Not that either? What the hell are you thinking about, then? Hmmm... Went out this weekend, as I usually do. Saw this person who's sort of a friends friend. Now, she's nice and all. She likes our band (Bay City Rollers, that is), she's groovy, she's hip etc. But I have absolutely nothing to talk about with her. Ok, on saturday we talked about B&S. That's all we talk about. Ever. She had bought "3,6,9 seconds..." two weeks ago. Me: "You like it?" She: "Yeah, I think it's the best they've ever done." Me: "Yeah, it is." Silence. Me: "So..." She: "So... You know about the new album?" Me: "Should come out this spring." She: "Oh." Silence. Me: "Hmmm..." She: "Yeah..." I could go on and on. For five minutes we stood there going "erm..." and "hmmm..." and "so..." and "Dippety whippety whippy..." and other things you sort of say when you have nothing to say. Did that make any sense? The point is, it's not nice to talk with someone when you have a) nothing in common b) nothing to say c) a huge lobster in your pocket that is reching for your balls. Not sure about the last one, but so I've heard. Ooh, saw the new Pantene ad on television yesterday. "You& me song" by da Wannadies on the backgound. Fucking hell. It used to be so that when I heard that song it reminded me of the good ol' days. Now on I'll be thinking about my curly hair and the lack of it when I get a bit older. My daddy started to lose his hair when he was 23. So I've got... 8 months to go. €sob€ (If there's people here who are losing hair, please don't be offended. I know that you are good and loving people all, even though you look like Krusty the clown. Sorry, that's not very politically correct. I'll shut the hell up now.) What's the most "softest" curseword you can think of? Cottontoe. Go on, say it. Oh, I don't mind you're in a library/work and people will stare at you. Just say it. I know you want to. Cottontoe. "You silly ol' cottontoe!" Like it, don't you? If any girl would want to offend me and would spit that out of her mouth I'd want to please her orally. If you made it this far, let me tell you: I adore you. @--->---- Jake le PetitE, who's off to the dentist today. If I don't make it, you all can share my cd's. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: if either one of us could drive...
by marie elia 09 Jan '00

09 Jan '00

[ree yawns. rubs her eyes. swings her feet out of bed and stumbles toward the door. opens it...] where am i? i don't think we're in sinisterland anymore... oh, we've moved. hmmm. [looks around.] needs a little paint (and what's wrong with pink, michele? :)) and maybe some spider plants (cuz you can't kill those) but i think it'll do. maddest props to honey for getting us through near-disaster #2 for the year. does this count as this year? right right. christmas came and went. new years involved merlot and tropico, a little champagne, and some polaroids. do yrselves a favor and hide from the kid at the party with the polaroid camera, because chances are he's staying sober just so he can capture yr drunken arse on film. nothing like finding a stack of polaroids on the kitchen counter the next morning. oh dear. my dears -- Actual B&S Content Ahead! warning! warning! .... i spent this weekend in boston with my best friend, whose nickname is bean, so it's appropriate that she lives in "beantown." anyway... friday night we headed to the upstairs lounge only to be out-styled by all the pretty kids in boston. but we danced and danced, and we were about to leave when the dj put on some pizzicato 5, and so we danced some more. and then... and then... like a whisper, the first strains... "summer in winter, winter in springtime..." struan's lovely voice drifted over the croud, dispelling the smoke and causing at least one girl (who was Not Me, incidentally) to jump on her friend and scream with joy. i merely sang along and danced around like it was my own little party. why the dj picked that short little song, i don't know. but new order came next, so the dj still gets props. and then... and then... the next day, bean and i wandered around boston, peeking in record stores and stationary stores... and we hit up a newbury comics, and as we perused the records, the beginning of "the state i am in" seeped through the speakers... they were playing all of tigermilk, and i tried to get my friend to stay at the store for the whole thing, but we only made it through "i could be dreaming" because the longer we stayed the closer we were getting to justifying buying more records... i had sworn to buy only one, and since she had snatched up the only copy of the lucksmiths' "good kind of nervous" earlier that week, i ended up getting operation heavenly. mmmm, belle&sebastian in public twice in two days! boston must be magic. even if they don't have tigermilking nights. now i am safe and sound in my little new york town, and i am happy to be all moved into our new sinister home. i've given up on being wary about the new album (what with all this talk of non-stuartM tracks) and i've just gotten plain impatient. i'll have to busy myself with the records i splurged on from parasol the other day -- nothing like material substitution for real love and happiness, eh? xoxo, marie ===== ******************************************************* "I was a proper snob in college, as only a future lifetime English major can be" - b. glass "to me she was just marie." -mersault ******************************************************* __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
