does sini-village have a national anthem? does it need one? if so, i think it should be "all men are brothers," a dandy little beethoven composition, as performed by the one and only paul robeson... listen to more paul robeson records- josh +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I said I would be back. And I am.
by ouiJ 06 Mar '00

06 Mar '00

Hello again sinisterine people. I used to post to sinister all the time and since I've got lots of work to do and have run out of evasion techniques I thought I'd return to the fold. Mmmm. I am weejay or ouiJ or even yummyfur sometimes but always weejay in the real world unless you're my mum or my sister, in which case I'm James. I'm also a bit cautious about writing this because I wasn't the most well-behaved listee before but I promise not to cause any trouble this time. Don't worry, I will get onto real subjects eventually... Props to Nic. I slept on your living room floor a good few months ago though this may well come as news to you. Hi to Fiona. You slept on MY living room floor about a month-and-a-bit ago, though this will certainly come as news to you. I don't know what I would be in the Sinister Village. Any suggestions? one, two, three..... Rachel Tucker and everyone else in the world said; >GRATE which is beginning to. Hmmmm. And more to the point she mentioned Brassy who played recently in my local toilet, The Joiners Arms, to a crowd of 8 including me & friend and still blew the place away. So go and see them, people, before the record company find out. She mentioned Ant & Dec too. Me and my friend Duncan are top imaginary pop band weejay and Duncan. Oh yes. Now I just have to persuade him to change his name to Wuncan and we're in business. That's long enough I think. See you in seaworld. xxx, ouiJ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i think i'm hyper enough as it is
by ipecac spice 06 Mar '00

06 Mar '00

i keep playing that lyric through my head. i am in a daze today. this morning i woke-up and thought to myself: "i don't have to go to class today maybe i will just stay in bed" but then my mom came and said "don't you have to get up?" so i said "yes" and dragged my self out of bed and went to class. just one more (although it's 2 hours) and then i'm free! after having been away from you all for slightly over a week i feel somewhat hesitant to write. i feel out of the loop. it's like when you know your friends aren't really doning anything but that if you don't go you might somehow miss out on the one time sommething happens. anyway...i know you're all dying to know what happened with the boyfriend. (sarcasm). well. i got up there a week ago friday and as soon as i saw him it wasn't going to be the same. the next night we broke-up. luckily we still had a really good time for the rest of the week. although it was somewhat bad b/c he can't understand why i broke-up with him when we get on so well and i nearly forgot myself. everything was the same between us i just saw it all differently and i couldn't go back to seeing things the way i used to. i am feeling a bit more reconciled now. however he is under the impression that we were "meant to be" and that when he gets back everything will be ok. he's such a wonderful guy but he is not right for me. i don't mind being alone right now but i fear spending the rest of my life alone. i might not even mind that (as long as i could have a few flings or something) if i knew that i would have friends who would end up alone too. it's not that i want a relationship it's just that i don't want everyone but me to be in relationships. i could wait a good while before settling down but my fear is that by the time i'm ready all the good guys will be happily paired off. oh well. i have always been a pessimist but somewhere along the line i think i may have become an optimist and i now believe that everything will work itself out in the end. happiness to you all, di he who hates is to be pitied, but he who loves is to be pitied more -german proverb +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the idles of march
by mike windisch 06 Mar '00

06 Mar '00

sincerest sinister, <<<< not much for me to say, but stragely compelled anyway>>>> windisch enjoyed his own personal first day of spring this weekend. that fool never waits for the calendar or the lunar to signify the change of seasons. instead he waits for the warm sun to fill his face and the whistful breeze to cool his brow. this past saturday there was both, plus a family of friends, the backyard ramp, and cold beer by the crackling camp fire. the first of many. the rebirth of the growing season. in a related development, this happy monday marks the start of his final week as office pest in cubicle hell. come the idles of march, mister mike will begin tilling the earth as a gardner with lotus. out of meetings and into the air. gone with stress, on with fatigue. begone company email abuse, bring on an honest days toil. <<<< some say. then he say. conversation brings community <<<<< i can't recollect who, but some sinner said last week that <<< whenever she got frustrated you would yell "Judas Priest" which of course, everyone found hysterical....>>> while i'm not sure of the scriptural antecedant of this term, it did not stop me from busting a gut laughing at the jamoke (noun - a rather nice piece of amerikan vernacular meaning fella/bloke/guy)who came into the beepster chat room the other day with the handle "hell bent for leather". Even though i was sedately ensconced in my workaday beige cubicle, i was forced by preternatural instinct to engage in a little low-impact head-banging while firing off a few library-soft hail satan's. Seeing the Judas Priest envelope has been broached, and taking into consideration that i've yet to see belle and the boyz rawk it live, I wonder how a cinema verite documentary of the pre-gig goings on of the jelly-filled-danish set would compare with "heavy metal parking lot"... (btw, if anyone has a copy of hmpl, do be a sport and contact me vis a vis a trade.) <<<<just a thought<<< Now that stuart david has flown the b&s coop, can we get rid of his quote from the sinister footer and in its stead reprise the cuddly-yet-cryptic "jelly-filled-danishes" crack. for you see, i am fond of jelly filled danishes. Thinking outside the box once again, Marc C, astutely opined: >>>>You know when a sinisterine makes a joke, and thinks it's funny, and >>>>then keeps making that joke ad infinitum, and occasionally someone will >>>>make it known they found the joke funny, which encourages the original >>>>comedian to keep his joke going cos it boosts his already overblown ego, >>>>despite the fact it's not funny any more, if it ever was? Can anyone >>>>think of any examples? >>>>> uhmm...er...well... such comedy sometimes takes a village, methinks. <<<<< now we say, bye-bye <<<< ------------------------------------------------------------------ "in twenty seven years, i've drank fifty thousand beers. they just wash against me like the waves upon a pier" -David Berman / Silver Jews ______________________________________________________ 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: MiRacLeS TaKe LoNgeR...
by velocity farewell 06 Mar '00

06 Mar '00

Hi to you all pretty faces... Well well... isn't that the time for the WeEkLy RePoRt? It's getting harder and harder to keep up with you, you know... Simon's working on the sinister village site... and we're trying to make a list of people and their occupation, so that everyone will have their link... HiGhLiGhtS of tHe WeeK Peter Miller ScReAms: > Let's get one thing straight. I'm not running any kind of shop at Sinister Portmerion, I'm running the disco. < MMMM Now what? I thought of Peter running the disco since I'd first had the idea of the village... I mean, I can see him walking around with a glass of pink champagne in his hand, shiny in his mirror jacket (3 buttons that is) flirting with everyone... Have you seen the film "Little Voice"? remember Michael Cane's role in the film? well... I imagine Peter like that!! StEvEn KaDo... says > i could be the wealthy capitalist land owner who lives in a big manorhouse and is hated by the locals.< It never occured me that we'd have capitalists in the village... I don't know... what the rest of you think? shall we have a riot and expropriate every inch of Steven's land? b'coz if we have capitalists we'll be needing police too, to protect their "rights" and properties... y'know... PaRaLiS (Jared) has marked the importance of a SiNiSteR DaNcE AcAdeMy that's going to be specialised in ArSe DaNciNg... I think to know how to arse dance is essential... Jared, would you like to run it for us?? JeN(owl) says > I think all the hamburgers and things should be ready delivered by ronald mcdonald (the groovy clown guy), and there would never be any need for butchers because all our stuff would come pre-packaged and not at all dead animal like. < Yes... Jen's right... we need no butchers and as far as I'm concerned we need no capitalists either... JaSoN A. wants to be the SiNiSteR CoUnCiLLoR I have to say - and I know that from personal experience - that he's going to do a great job... so, all of you who have all sorts of problems... do not hesitate... Go to JaSoN... JeAnEttE is going to be our nurse torturing us with rectal thermometers *that are much more accurate*, but none of us would care coz... imagine Jeanette in that cute nurse suit! She also wants to be Steve C.'s assistant in the basketball team... helping the players stretch!! BLaiR HiCkS wants to run the CoMiC BoOk ShOp and thinks that this would kill his hope for a list-crush... I don't think so Blair, in fact, I think exactly the opposite... DaViD MoOrE wants to be the village's PeDaNt... Mmmm no objections to that... I mean, we do need one, don't we? Katie Mulloy very wisely wants to run the HeALtH FoOd StOrE and I said wisely coz she'd have to work very closely with Moz... where from would he buy all the ingredients he'd need for his vegan recipies but from Katie's store, huh? wise wise Katie... :) DaNiEl RyDeR wants to be the sinister's PaRk RaNgeR and yes, of course there are going to be parks in sinister land... and trees and birds for Daniel to look after... Talking about parks, trees, birds, etc... FrAnCeScA wants to work in the sinister BoTaNiCaL GaRdEn this village keeps expanding all the time eh? Sweet MiNa MaRs wants to run a shop that will sell all shiny stuff... I like that... especially the idea of little crystal balls to make necklaces... Mina, you can call your shop... RiSe & ShiNe SpLaSh... withdrawn his offer to be the village's PoStMaN + MiLkMaN which I think was very convenient delivering letters and milk at the same time... and decided that he wants to be the sinister NeWs AgEnT mmm... OK... SplAsh... whatever you want... SwEeTiE... you'd rather run the stud-farm or the shop that would "sell things from books to body jewellery, called electronic"? or BoTh?... WiLLiAm MeSsEnT volunteered to be the one who'd clean the dog shit..!! William... you're so nice... that I'd like now to vote for you for the place of the SiNiSteR MaYor coz a guy that volunteers to clean the dog shit in a village cannot but be the perfect mayor... right?? CaRoLyN wants and will do run the sinister BoRdeL... can I visit Carolyn? we can have tea siting in your velvet scarlet sofa gossiping about your "clients"... SeAn HoBsOn will be the village's BrOwN BoTtLe... Mmmmm... brown bottle...bumping into stuff... AnDrEw DeAn is going to be the ViLLaGe's IdiOt... Do you really want that Andi? can I join you from time to time? Oh!! and 2 netball teams PlEaSe...!!! I'm giving you now our very own SiNiSteR DrUg DeALeR Mr. Peter Ramsdale... no needles please...Gosh... Simon, how are we gonna make a link for Peter in the site? we're gonna be arrested... I'm tellin ya... OOn... should run the sinister OoN's HoRrOr ShOw is that OK Oon? and organise Karaoke nights? dreadful! Screaming SaMaNtHa: > THE BLUDDY THEATRE!! I WANT A THEATRE!! < Yes, yes, OK... have the theatre... there's already a radio station ran by Mark from Nottingham... yer... JaMeS GiLmEr is going to run the ViDeO StoRe... right! Please... will you have all the L.Anderson films?? AmY... wants to be the ToWn CriEr and eventually join Andi in his "village idiot's" duties!! FeAtHeR BoA... YES please... A TrAiN StAtiOn I love trains and always considered train stations to be ... magical... now, a sinister Train Station would definately be magical... and robin reliants for people who want to go fast... yer... sound nice... I would also like to reccomend a store that will sell exclusively MeN's SkiRtS it can be called: KiLtS & GuiLtS I think men look nice in skirts... sometimes very sexy indeed... but it has to be the right skirt... so, we need an expert for helping our sinister boys choose the most flattering skirt... who's gonna do that? JaSoN LutHeR said > oh.. velocity girl, ill be delighted to fix anything of yours that breaks ;) < will you fix my heart Jason? coz as soon as I've read those words it started to beat in a rather crazy manner... mmmm... I don't know what's wrong with it... enough said tho'... I have to leave you now... I'm really sorry if I'd forgotten any of you... it's getting more and more difficult to keep track... Oh yes... Mark C.... Mark, you saw that Peter Miller is very unwilling to give up his disco...so, I'd like to pass to you my responsibilities as the village's Entertainment Coordinator... will you accept? and you can have your own club as well... I mean, we don't have a club for gigs yet... would you like to run it Mark? In sinister we have a lot of musicians, don't we? they'd need a place to ... perform, right? Oh... StEviE TrOuSSé... I think the poetryplace should move to the sinister village now... what do you think? AnYwAy... I'm leaving you now sweet pies... lemon pies... :) hey... listen... we're almost 1300 people... let's all play at the lottery... what the hell... one of us will win... and then we can built our village... a big, huge, bonebreaking hug that will hold all of you love + bubble baths Vel ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2000 11:02:29 -0000

An answer for Rob. Us Brits have both pound and dollar signs. Do you Americans have a national Anthem? Do you sing God Save the Queen? What War of Independence? You know when a sinisterine makes a joke, and thinks it's funny, and then keeps making that joke ad infinitum, and occasionally someone will make it known they found the joke funny, which encourages the original comedian to keep his joke going cos it boosts his already overblown ego, despite the fact it's not funny any more, if it ever was? Can anyone think of any examples? I got chatted up in a club in Manchester on Saturday. This is almost a unique event. It was also a bloke who was chatting me up, and a really good looking bloke to boot. If I were gay, which I'm not, I would have had fun with this boy as he was dead tasty. But I was very flattered and pleased. But anyway, the reason I mention it is because it was the first time ever someone's made conversation as a result of my upside down badge. Okay, it was "what's that then? Why's it upside down?", but still. And Kado, If you think you're going to be the village capitalist, you've got another thing coming. I can buy you, I can buy the lot of you. I already have a plan to turn the village into a slick money-making operation, with a Starbucks on every corner and Lighthouse Family albums provided free with every Beazer home. I know Councillor Evans will be behind me every step of the way. I also demand droit de seigneur. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Sam, I'm also quite a fan of the old B&J, though I've never seen it written with an ampersand before.

Sinister: I like your style, I like your face, so come on
by Erica MacArthur 06 Mar '00

06 Mar '00

Dear you lot, Rachel Tucker just mentioned Ant and Dec, which is grate. Don't go forgetting 'You Crazy Cats', 'Our radio rocks' and 'Let's get ready to rhumble' too. Has anyone else noticed the similarities between 5ive's debut single 'Slam dunk the funk' and 'Let's get ready to rhumble'? Because I always start out singing one and end up singing the other. Nicky D said: >I went skiing in Switzerland, you know. I love pretending to be >rich instead of just posh. I went skiiing once. We had a lovely french instructor called Denis and we used to sing 'Denis Denis, with your eyes so blue...I'm so in love with you' over and over again as we swished down the mountains on our skis. He used to shout: 'Errreeeeca! Get oup of yoeur botemme!', but then he'd always mutter something like "vache en graisse.." under his breath. At the end of the trip we all made him a card, but Louise, who is silly, wrote his name as 'Donice' and refused to change it. How we laughed. On Saturday night I was treated to the mod stylings of The Lovelies who are crap but wear nice capped sleeved t-shirts which show off their arms. I'm an Arm girl. They did have one quite good song which consisted of the line 'You've got a nice haircut....rilly nice' over and over again, and the lead singer kept turning round to fiddle with his amplifyer and I'm sure it's because he'd overheard me and miss Hannah discussing Men's Lovely Backs in the bar. He invited us down the bowling alley for a 'couple of tins' but we were too busy shaking that stuff to the theme from 'Alfie'.
