Sinister: It's not as if they're paying Chu, it's not as if it's Ken...

Hey SINISTERINES!!! I know I just posted the other day, but there were a few more posts that I forgot to say something about, so I wanted to write about those and tell you about some other things...I'm imagining so many of you seeing my posts and just deleting them!!! But here I go anyway! JenOwl wrote: "So now when I get that feeling, of being untouchable, I keep thinking of that doll, and then I wait for that girl to show up and mess up all the ringlets and pull the legs off everything that's going right. Except she can't. No one can, because this time round I don't have to let anyone play if I don't want to because I don't get scared when people twist my arm up around my back any more. And it's swell." That post was sooooooo beautiful. Really got to me and made me think about how often we let people take advantage of us because we are afraid to "not play"... Most people don't do well with confrontation, but you end up with broken toys if you don't give firm boundaries, don't you! Feather Boa wrote: "i have spent the weekend making far from lifesize models of my favourite popstars in clay. so far i have Jarvis, Struan and Richey. i think that's enough. i'm *so* jealous of smartly dressed Rachel." Yay, FB!!! Making dolls of favorite popstars is awesome! I'd like to see a pic of those! I used to make paper dolls of my favorite bands and give them to the band. it was a good test of which popstars were nice and which ones weren't! And you are *so* sweet to mention me!!! Madeleine wrote about falling in love: "And it just feels like the pieces of the jigsaw have finally fit, or not even that, but that you've managed to do the sky and the edges of the jigsaw, and now you can finish the middle bit yourself." Oh that is so perfectly descriptive. I want to finish the middle part!!! If only I could get these edges put together! I also liked the part of that post where she said that she threw up on her love's shoes at a Suede gig and then he dumped her. What a guy! Archel Toast wrote: "a few months ago, matt wrote on the page for october 8 in his diary this reminder: 'die horribly'. i know he was only bored or something, but i've still been a bit nervy today and won't be quite relaxed until after midnight. there are such things as self-fulfilling prophecies after all..." Ohhh, I am so superstitious like that, too. It takes over all rational thinking! Kirsten Kenyon wrote about a run-in with a rude woman: "instead, she turned and looked and me and firmly slammed the door in my face, and everyone started laughing, and i laughed too and walked outside and she called me a name and said "i don't know who the hell you are"" i am amazed that anyone would do this to Kirsten! how *dare* she! Do you want me to come up there and kick her ass for ya, Kirst? Kirsten also wrote: "wait, am i engaged to ken chu?" Well, we're waiting for the answer!!!! Spike wrote of the mixtape battle: "I'm up for that. One question. Do we get bonus points for obscurity?" Ken, are you gonna answer this? Are you even going to be the judge? I'm prepared to ask Laura Llew to judge in "Llew" of you, if you think it would be biting off more than you "ken chu" (ohgod, I kill me! or somebody kill me!) Joe Vester wrote: "I am definitely going to be a Rachel, if they'll have me ( don't get me wrong, I like the Wills( and the Chrises(?)) as much as anyone else, I just think Rachel's a cooler name. And you don't get to make up your own surname with the Wills). I think the mix tape idea rawks." well, apparently nobody ever said that you couldn't make up your own surname with the wills, I know that Ernie is considering being Will Paprika for the battle. But I agree with you, Joe, Rachel is the better name! So, perhaps you can be Rachel Pancake or Rachel Mimosa. Anyone else? That's 3 honorary Rachels and GUESS WHAT!!! There is a SEVENTH Rachel on the list!!! She lives in Norway and is Rachel Jones, but we have decided to call her Rachel Orange Juice! Rach O.J. is in the nursery, but she is quite lovely, so when she is able to post, you're in for a treat! A shout out to Rach O.J. !Viva Rachels! Marianna wrote regarding Will Salt and Will Pepper: "Oooh, can I then be Will Spinderella? We can then sing "Let's talk about B+S Baby" and "Whataband". ha ha etc." OH MY GOD!!! I think I peed my pants when I read this, it's so silly! A shout out to Marianne!!! Katie Cheeriodle, HR wrote: "Last week, I mentioned to dear Rachel Fruitloop that I am undertaking the goal of having more fun, especially mid-week. I am finding it more and more necessary to break up the monotony of the workweek." Oh man, this can really improve your life, I'm telling you! I remember 2 weeks in July of 1998 my friends and I had the legendary "FAKE WEEKEND '98", we would come home from work, take a nap and then go out every night like it was the weekend! Whew! It was FUN! You should try it! Carle Groome wrote: "And if I say "The Rutles," there should be a rousing cheer and occasion cause enough for heads to nod in agreement to the aforementioned overweening enthusiasm spasm." ROUSING CHEER!!! THE RUTLES-ALL YOU NEED IS CASH is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. If you like the Beatles and your sense of humor is keener than a warped wooden door, you need to see this movie. Neil Innes is a brilliant songwriter, too. I think I prefer some of the Rutles songs to the Beatles songs!!! Caleb Ben wrote: "you all should go out and listen to donovan, i bet you'll prolly have a perfect moment also." When I used to live with my parents, when I would be listening to Belle & Sebastian, my dad would always come in and say "is this Donovan?" Caleb Ben also wrote: "tell me: does anyone else out there like steely dan? well i'm i'm sure SOMEBODY else my age in this wide world must. and i'm willing to bet that they are on this sinister list, reading this right now." I like Steely Dan! In fact, I wrote once in a fanzine "Ricky, don't lose MY number!" and I think I was the only one who got the joke! Eric the half a bee wrote: "which reminds me of a joke I heard once: "'I don't want to die! I want to finish my book!' 'you're writing a book?' 'no, I'm reading one'". I think it was on "perfect strangers". thank goodness for bad 80s sitcoms." Ok, Eric, you're quoting Perfect Strangers has got you so much closer to having me vote a list crush on you!!! Thanks for that one! Congrats to Sam Walton for being quoted (or misquoted as it were!) in the NME!! I agree with you about Oasis being grate in 1995, but becoming crap by 1997! I was lucky enough to see Oasis at a very small venue (The Whisky a go-go)here in L.A. in September of 1994 and they ROCKED!! (Oasis loved the paper dolls I made of them, except for Liam who didn't care, so there you go!) Joseph S. wrote: "I don't know if B&S label Cohen as an influence though much of their stuff is reminiscent of his text-heavy 60s/70s work (67's Songs of Leonard Cohen and 71's Songs of Love and Hate in particular)." I think Songs of Love and Hate is one of the best albums!! On my mix of Unrequited Love Songs I put "Avalanche" by Leonard Cohen on it. It's such a stunning song. What a voice he has! A shout out to Colin boy, you doll! (Pay no attention to where I'm about to say I was yesterday!) I heard The Strokes at Ryan's house yesterday (Hi Ry-ry!) and I think they're better than I expected. Not bad, but definitely nothing serious. I could see enjoying them like I enjoy Bis. I don't know if that makes any sense to you all, but when do I ever?! Is anyone up for a Southern California picnic anytime soon? A lot of us missed the last one, so it would be fun to do another. I know that Katie Cheeriodle, Rachel Cornflake, Ernie and Brier are interested. If anyone else is, please let me know and we'll try to arrange for something! That's all I got kids! Lots of love to you all, Rachel fruitloop __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!

Sinister: Scribbling all over the Nursery walls with crayon.....
by aale002＠ec.auckland.ac.nz 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

Goodness, but I'm excited! Spilling Ribena all over the show! Can't wait to be let out of the Nursery, in fact. So I'm writing this in crayon on the wall (hope Mummy doesn't see) to keep myself amused. I probably won't send this to the list when I get my voice, though. Be too embarrassed. Then again, if you're reading this now, it means I decided to prove to myself that I didn't really know it all after all. That's pretty odd, when you think about it. Actually, I'm not just writing this because I want to send it (or not...)I'm trying to avoid doing _real_ work for school. I'm supposed to be working on an essay. It's called '"Can't get enough of your love,baby...": Why Barry White could never be an Evolutionary Psychologist.' I study philosophy and psychology. Mostly, I spend a lot of time drinking tea and thinking and talking, about love and metaphors and brains and possible worlds and other cool things. I want to be a rich and famous philosopher when I grow up. My mother has lost all hope that I'll ever get a real job. And then there's the library. I work at the university library...oh, by the way, I'm in Auckland, New Zealand. Hi, Lawrence! Congrats on your impending matrimonials. Nice to know that when I say something like <gruffvoice>'Jesus, Murray and Joseph, that's not a fair suck of the sav!' </gruffvoice>, someone will understand. ;-} Anyways, I work at the library. I have lots of jobs there. One is to sit at a little desk by the entrance and exit and make sure people aren't stealing books. I'm pretty crap at catching thieves, though, so mostly I just talk to people and look at the girls. Another of my jobs is working in the book returns room. I have to check in all the books that come through the slots. People put some fairly strange things through the slots as well as books. We have a little collection on the wall. The shifts I work are quiet ones, so there isn't really much to do. No one returns books on Wednesday or Thursday nights, or on Saturday afternoons. So I have to find other things to do to amuse myself. Sometimes I wander across the road to see my friend Catherine, who works on the ticketing desk of the Maidment theatre. I have to be careful not to get caught, though. I'm not supposed to leave the book returns room while I'm working. So I pretend I'm a ninja, because no matter what movie you're watching, if it's got ninjas in it, you know it's going to be Quality Entertainment. We also have a competition in the book returns room to see who can find the funniest name. Some books have holds placed on them by patrons (we're not allowed to call them 'punters' anymore.) When we get a book with a hold on it, a little slip is printed out with the title of the book and the person who requested its name. The best one I have found so far is 'Venus Wing Man Mo'. But I don't like playing that game, because everyone else always brings up my own name. It is <deep breath> Andre Enrico Ciriaco Federico Ambrogio Alessi. My sister's name is Katherine Amy Alessi, or just 'Kat'. Go figure. Also, one of the other things I do to amuse myself is have singalongs. I call it 'DIY karaoke'. Tigermilk (my favourite album) is never far from the CD player, nor is If You're Feeling Sinister. I have a grand old time singing along to My Wandering Days Are Over (my favourite song most days) and Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying (my favourite song the rest of the time.) I have to make sure no one can hear me, though, because I'm a baritone. And singing B&S in baritone is just downright silly. The story of how I first heard of B&S is a little silly, too. I was living in Gisborne, which is a tiny little city that claims to be the first city in the world to see the sun each day. Mostly, people just surf. I had gone there for a birthday party one weekend, and spent my return bus ticket money on Guinness, so I ended up staying for a year. I couldn't surf, but I had a deep voice,so I started working on an 'alternative' radio station that was operating out the back of a bar. Instead of getting paid in cash, we got free drinks at the bar. One weekend, New Zealand indie legend Chris Knox (who does solo stuff and also has a side project called the Tall Dwarfs) came to play at the bar, and we interviewed him on air before the show. In one of the song breaks, he mentioned a "really cool band called Belle and Sebastian". Then he asked us if he could spend a few minutes alone in the studio to run the show his way. We were all a little tiddly from the vodka-and-Red-Bulls at the time, so we agreed. I don't quite know what he did, but from that time on, our computer programme with all our playlist on it started acting up. We'd programme Bic Runga's Bursting Through and get Tool's Stinkfist, or Beck's Loser and get Dean Martin's That's Amore. It made life interesting, anyway. After that, I moved back here to Auckland to start uni(again), and while wandering through Borders one day, noticed they had a Belle and Sebastian album on listening post. Remembering Chris Knox's enthusiasm, I popped on the headphones and...well, it was Tigermilk. 'Nuff said, really (except that my friends Ben, who's a Morris dancer, and Catherine, who isn't, both have copies too, because of my enthusiasm/nagging insistence.) Now I spend my days doing all sorts of things. Darcy, who's a friend of mine too, challenges me to a beard-growing competition every summer, and wins every time, so this year I thought I'd get a head start. I started three weeksago. People say I look a little like a fox with it, because of the lighter patches, and the grey. I already had the nickname "Cunning Andre" (well, thats what I call myself, anyways-my friend Mia calls me "Machiavellian"), so it seems appropriate, somehow. I guess I'll have to send a picture too, because a beard is kind of a body part. I also spend my weekends dancing like a dervish and having more spontaneous DIY karaoke hours. There are a lot of really good local bands, like Goldenhorse, Handsome Geoffrey and Goodshirt, who are worth going to see when I can't get access to the CD player at the flat to play my B&S. Goldenhorse especially are faves of mine, partially because my friend Catherine (who works at the Maidment) is friends with them, and because they have a name that encourages people to shout out "Go the 'horse!" at random moments during their gigs. I'm toning things down a little now, though, because I'm getting on a bit (25 in December-eeeek!) I'm trying to be a Good Vegetarian, but I seem to fall off the wagon by eating lamb kebabs about three times a week, and the occasional Double Whopper. Darcy says that makes me a Bad Vegetarian. My mother is also worried I'll never find a serious girlfriend in time to have babies and settle down, like all my old friends. I don't really pay much attention to her when she's like that. Instead I just carry on haphazardly pursuing a Sexy Nice Jewellery Making Girl that I know and writing my Great New Zealand Novel. It's called Losing Hope, and it's about not being in love anymore. Or about how the people that aren't with us still affect us. Or something. I get to use my three favourite words, anyway: susurrus, bungalow and expunge. Well, I did go on a bit, didn't I? Bit too self-absorbed, too. Bugger. Never was very good at editing. Oh well. Must do better next time. Right-o, that's me, Cunning Andre +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: spiritualized
by Katia913＠aol.com 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

Hey all, First, I would like to thank you all for the kind words and thoughts, its funny how many of you read your emails right away. Thanks anyways, its all going to be OK, for now even though I cant tell my sisters and brother about him. I'll keep you posted. Today was a much better day. I was supposed to meet this guy from Northwestern for coffee yesterday after school but then everything with my dad came up and I had to cancel on him, to make a long story short he was real pissed at me and said something about not wanting to talk to me anymore because I was putting other things before our relationship. We've only been dating for three weeks. That was upsetting, but then today this boy I really like totally was hitting on me and made it all better. People who look like Cat Stevens aren't as nice as they should be. Also, the guy who works in the computer lab for my Comp Imaging class is so cool! He is the first teacher to ever mention B&S to me, and b/c I was wearing the shirt he and I talked for a long time about their albums and other bands and shit. Well, I made him a copy of The Fidelity Wars and he made me a copy of the new Spiritualized, which you should all go out and buy b/c it is soooo good. I was smiling all day because he was so nice for a teacher. Cool Beans. Well, have a great day all. I am in an OK mood today, much better than yesterday, all the news is OK right now. much love sinister kate +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: wee rule the loo
by Ken Chu 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

Hello, I was in a film the other day, well I felt like I was anyway, it was a lazy sunny Sunday morning, a boy was sitting on his own, with music coming from another room. The sound diffused and distorted by the semi closed doors, he was just sitting there pondering about life. He pondered about life for a while, and then pondered why he pondered about life whilst sitting on the toilet seat having an unloading operation. It was a great place for thinking tho, you are just stuck in this place for a good 10-15 minutes with absolutely nothing you can do, without making a mess. (You can read I guess - someone really clever taught me once that you can get a lot of exam revision in whilst dropping your bombs.. apparently it works) Okay, so I guess there aren't really films where the scenes are set to a guy having a dump in the toilet on a sunny morning (is there? I guess there probably could be a few, pretty shit films), but it was that kind of scene, probably those types you see on film 4. So yes kicking start another crap post with images of my poo, brilliant. But what's life without a little bit of toilet humour every now and then? Full of compost heaps probably. For some reason I got reminded of an old sinister member the other day, so I searched for his posts, and I just spent ages reading a load of posts that people written a year ago, and vaguely remember reading some of them before, sometimes I even remember where I was and what I was doing whilst I was reading the posts.. and no, not in the toilet I didn't have a laptop computer. I wish I can write like Kenneth P Y Chu he was great. Whilst on the subject of toilet humour, I'm gonna reveal all and tell you what underwears I wear, at the moment I'm wearing my "The Rainman" briefs. I'm just taking the piss :-) Look girls if you wanna get to know my inner self there's only one way to find out. Heh, I'm just talking out of my arse now. I wonder how many more crap puns I can do before people'd send me to the outhouse... then I'd really get into shit. Ok tired of it now.. I'm pooped. Solids and Red Bull Ken P.S.: What other English words are there for poo?

Sinister: and cast as me was parker posey
by :: jenny darling :: 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

actually though, this has nothing to with parker posey in the slightest. i don't post much cos i haven't much to say. well, i don't really today...but there were things that came up the last few days that gave me cause to share a bit. audiogalaxy- it's ok. yes it has spyware. but, i have ad-aware and it took the bad stuff away. it's free so everyone should get a copy, at least the audiogalaxy people were nice enough to tell you. real audio won't though.. fosca- someone posted about going to see fosca. i quite adore them. and yes it is true, dickon is cool. and he still reminds me of david sylvian..but then again, i am one of those people who knows too much about music. eep! speaking of..i bought a couple of japan records this past saturday. quality. nothing compared to the hundreds..literally hundreds of dollars i spent last month on records. this music thing is really going to break me soon. and i will enjoy it far too much. ooh, maybe i have a problem. perhaps i know and just don't seem to care. ah! that must be it. livejournal- there was a question if anyone on sinister had one. i do. the username is happybeingsad...because i am mostly. go, you need a good laugh. ok, that was enough uselessness for one evening. sniff..sniff..sniffle ***jenny darling*** -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Le Parte Oral
by LilGrape25＠aol.com 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

¡Hola Sínistér! Don't mind the spanish, I just learned how to make accents and upside down excalimation points and things and I think its sooo cool! "Le Parte Oral" happened to be the first thing on my spanish test outline, which is right in front of my face. I had a revalation the other day. I was saying goodnight to Max, as I always do. And, to piss me off, he said "luv ya" which is my least favorite online phrase, because its so false and cutsie and all that crap. Anyway, I said in return "there's too much luv to go around these days." And suddenly the belle and sebastian song made sense! I had always thought of it as a somewhat annoying song against free love or something. It never quite make sense. But now it does! Its against all those icky teenbopper girls who just luv eachother to death and luv the color pink and luv justin timberlake and, in an attempt to appear "alternative" luv bjork. Belle and sebastin is/are so wonderful!! Sinister has made me love my name. I have never loved it before. Now I do. Just the other day I spent my whole english class thinking about my name and sinister and doodling in my copy of The Odessey. I make really elaborate pictures in the margins. Today I drew a scene of a birthday party and some mushrooms and elfs dancing around the tree I drew yesterday. Also I made a bonzi tree on a table and a man on an island leaning against a palm tree. My english teacher (the walking talking penis named Mr. Weiner) isn't very attentive. Today is Classics Day in Rachelland (aka my room). I just listened to Tigermilk and I listen to Bee Thousand by Guided By Voices a few times on the way home. Thats my favorite album ever. Too bad their music has been getting worse and worse since the day I was born. Well ¡viva rachels!

Sinister: this wasn't supposed to happen
by juju cat 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

halo again sinisters... 'streeeeeeeeeeeetch' he says upon returning from yoga class. 'that's what my face is doing right now' i reply. i just bought a flight to the uk. a little juju solo seat. as usual. but this time, it's different. my whole world fell apart. it's been happening for months. and now, just now, as in this past week, my whole world is coming together again. better than ever. closer, warmer, more loving, more exciting.. i feel the bud poking through the ash after the fire. (am i alone in this? when things start to happen, and they just feel right, and sullen dreams become giddy reality, what else can you do but grin a silly grimace to make cube mates accuse you of being insane?) :: the boy who always eludes me is acting in love again. as confusing as it is, it is not taking away from my glee inside. it stirs with the rest of the concoction in my shell. it swirls bright colors between the dark ones. he is orange in my black. :: the friend in the uk who got laid off is soon to be visited by yours truly. we are going to play and forget about time and space and work and obligation. anybody in cambridge?? :: the label who likes our cd has picked us up. all the songs i write and sing and play will be in your local shops uniting us. i couldn't ask for more. :: tonight i will see bjork, the swan princess. i will sit alone in my little juju seat and feel lots and lots of beautiful human feelings. today it is nice to be a girl. so i had to write to you, loverly ones. i read your words and *swoon*... perhaps someday we'll be so many, so close, so few between, all our worlds will be one charming one. but today, today is not like any other day i've lived before. isn't that an amazing thing to think? so glorious, i wonder what i should be wearing for such an occassion. (i feel quite underdressed!!) i'd like to say that sweet rachel threw me a fruitloop like i was a grain of sugar drowning in a bowl of milk. *it makes me feel so much better* i think if her fruit has a flavor, it is certainly grape. listen to my crazy laugh... juju x _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the agony without the oil-of-ulay
by AN 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

...a week since last so here I am biting my nails wondering what's becoming of the world. my sister came home to visit last weekend. She looked at me and said: "You look exactely like MONCHICHI!" Why, thank you.....umm...or? Ok, they're cute alright, but I'm still not sure I wanna look like one. i turned 21 exactely a week ago. At first I felt nothing, I almost forgot it was my birthday. And then came panic and then came agony, slowly creeping up on me until I just wanted to scream and kick around and go back to my glorious childhood days. Sheesh I'm only 21, what's the fuss? I dunno. during the last couple of days I've got 3 pimples in my face. One on each side of the mouth sort of, and one on my forehead. Now God, I know that I wished for my years not to rush away so quickly, but hey, I didn't mean I wanted to go back to my teens! There's gotta be some cream called "simple, no pimple" out there, I bet. Give it to me now. I used to have this "Clean and Clear" or something when I was in london, but I didn't think I'd be needing it now....stupid. it's not easy living on the countryside. Everyone just teases you all the time (meaning my friends). But I am determined to as soon as possible leave this boring, familyfriendly environment and seek a bigger, dirtier and noisier place to live. Not too big, mind. so I went to stockholm previous weekend, and it was grate! I hadn't been there for such a long time, although I live only 50 minutes by train from there. and we went to this jubilee for a music magazin called Bomben (The Bomb). I only went there to hear the english band Fosca who were playing that night. Boy, where they good! Dickon, the singer, is just really cool and, aah I don't know, well, charming. Too bad he's gay :) Anyway, there were quite a lot of people there, for being such a small event that is. And I felt completely lost. Everyone seemed to be so "cool" and "in" and knew the latest look and latest music. Most of them didn't even bother listening to the bands playing, they were sitting in another room talking and drinking beer. indie as f***. I'm not. we bought a beer each as well since it seemed they only had beer, wine and some strange mix with orange juice to choose from. I'll NEVER drink another BEER in my life! I'd completely forgotten how disgusting it is, yack. Crisps saved my stomach. Beer-crisps-beer-crisps-smoke-beer-crisps-beer-smoke.....etc etc until beer was finished. Phew. Then we found cider.....oh sweet bliss! i bought 2 cds, Ryan Adams and Fosca. Me happy :) things are not going well with one of my subjects in school..."society knowledge" you know, politics, eu, that kind of things. Frankly I suck at it, and I find it boring and I don't understand and I don't remember and I'm not the least interested! I didn't go to the last lesson (I only have 1 lesson a week) and apparently we've started working in groups now. They put me in a group which I've no idea who's in, except for one girl. I have no phone numbers to anyone, and they probably haven't got mine either. I smell Disaster! i wish the mix-tape battle teams good luck! I haven't decided on whom to cheer yet but I honestly believe the Rachels are up for kicking some butt ;) I'm glad I'm not the judge! One mistake and you live in fear for the rest of your life.....boh! finally (this has taken me more like 30-40 minutes than 15. remember I'm yellow-blue) this goes to sinsister Astrid who is also my "mixtape"-sister and whom I assume will get drunk as a saucepan this coming friday :) Big Hug! and hugs to all -An (Monchichi) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: a dubious endorsement
by elise j. spry 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

Hi Kiddies! I went to the gap (she mutters in shame) last night. I went to look for mens underpants. They did not have any good underpants, mens or womens. However, they *do* have a very, very chic (ladies) long sleeve t-shirt that says "I love my car" on the front in bright pink script on a kewl gray background. Here in Madison, said shirt is on sale for $9.99.* *but the stupid gap staff set the rack of kewl shirts right next to the rack of ugly shirts on sale for $6.99. I got in an argument with the sullen and surly salesgirl that the shirt should be only 6.99, not 9.99. I even showed her the sign, and she said, "oh. that's only the shirts on *that* side." Yeah, it's only three dollars, but it's the damn principal of the matter. Plus, kids is *poor* these days! The point of this post being, there seemed to be a fair number of these shirts left. I think I may toddle down there next week, when the shirts may very well actually be 6.99 and pick a couple up. Email me off list if you want one, I'll only charge you cost + postage. Quantity will be quite limited, I'm sure. **Rachie Frootloop, of course I've got one for you. ***Jim Gilmer, these are *ladies* shirts. But if you want one in extra-large for your "girlfriend", I suppose I have one for you too. love to all, and kisses for Sean, -elise __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
