Sinister: is it timid not to dare?
by Kenneth P Y Chu 17 Jan '02

17 Jan '02

Season's greetings, I don't know what the season is, but it's arrived - are we in Spring yet? Or does that not start before Chinese New Years? Dunno. Anyway yes, I feel very festive today for some reason, but unfortunately I don't have one of those clever books that tell you what special celebrational days it is (e.g. "international salad day" or "world mullet growing day" or something) on each day. My friend has a diary that tells him all the important events that happened on each day of the year, but the events they list are normally quite rubbish - like on the 20th Dec, it says "Louisiana sold to USA by France" um, who cares about that when B&S PLAYED that day. 25th Dec was good tho, it said "25th Dec - Jesus born".. cheers. Today is also "one-month-before-valentines-day" day, I am counting on you all to write soppy e-mails about it over the next month. Either wahwah another valentines day alone this is the worst valentines day of my life or oohooh look at me i'm in love this is the best valentines day of my life. I love reading both! Last year I went bowling on the said day I might go again this year. Anyone who wants to go fondling balls romantically with me are welcome to join in the fun. One word of advice tho, boys and girls - stay safe - a present, some flowers, a box of chocolate and a card are enough to remind you of your V.D. you don't need any other memoirs. Random quoting bit. Elise j. spry said: >>So those of you who know me as somewhat of a wanton vibrator-happy...<< She said "wanton", whenever someone says wanton I get reminded of wanton soup - which is lovely - but then I keep thinking of "wanton" soup and I think eep! and now, I turned the table around and kept thinking what a WANTON VIBRATOR would be like.. eep! i wonder if would be wanton flavoured. Speaking of which, I just remembered I actually bought some wantons the other day from the Chinese shop. Chinese shops are great - you can buy pure gelatine in a box - alcoholic wine gums here we come. Neil Robertson said: >>.... Nobody could take their mouths off So Solid Crew's knob for long >>enough to tell us it had been moved.<< um.. how long as that? 21 seconds? Ho ho ho ho! :) Couldn't resist. Right yes I'll grab my coat. VDs and RBs Ken * just in case there is any confusion: wanton is a tasty chinese dumpling thing - when I went to "buy some wanton" I wasn't doing a deal with working girls. _________________________________________________________________ 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: Crying to Crass
by AMEBIX13＠aol.com 17 Jan '02

17 Jan '02

Hello there Sinister, I know I have been absent for quite some time, and I appologise for neglecting you, I promise not to let it happen again. Luckily I am returning with more than my fair share of post worthy things to say, too much for one post even. My life has been, well, interesting lately. Very, very full of changes. There are really more changes going on for me now than ever before. Hmm where should I begin...Well, probably the most major development in the world of Sean, is what Elise reported earlier, I am moving soon. In about one week I will be moving into a very lovely rowhome in the city of Baltimore. It's quite keen, Three stories, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and it has a certain sort of charm to it. There is even a peculiar little nook in my bedroom that I am quite excited about! The house is very Baltimore and I like that. This is also going to be the first time in my whole life that I will be living away from my parents, it's all very excited, I think I will dig this w! hole independance thing quite a bit. Elise is my official decorative advisor for this whole moving project and I just want to publically thank her for all of her great ideas and support! She really is a great girl! My place would be nowhere near as sylish as it is going to be without her imput. Her visit last month was also top notch, we had a great ten days, ten of the best days ever in fact, I was very sad to see her go, and I think I converted one more person to the opinion that Baltimore is not a complete trash heap. So yes, I will have a roomate in this whole house endeavor...hence the two bedrooms. Her name is Rebecca and she is a good friend. She's a very fiesty little hardcore girl and pretty rad in my personal opinion...I'm sure we will end up having a good time living together I've known her for years and we used to play in a hilarious crust-punk band years back called Ochlocracy. By the way you get 100 punk points if you own one of our shirts, tapes, or pat! ches. They have been sighted as far away as belgium and all over the states, I find it quite funny, as the general consensus of my ex-band mates is what we were horrible, with the exception of the Judas Priest song we covered...that was rokken, much like dokken. Well, that has gone on long enough, time to get back to more relevant things. So yes, right about now you may be wondering just what the hell the subject of this email is all about. Well, a few weekends back I discovered just how sentimental 80's anarchist punk bank Crass can be. Some friends and I decided to put one of the old Crass records on that friday night, we broke out the pictures from days past, our punk rock days to be exact, and it was just one of those moments where you start thinking about everything you did wrong, and how much you took things for granted, and understandably it can be a bit sad. We just realized how much fun we all had together back then, and how happy we really were, and how much we! would give to have some of the things that we had back then. We had a band, that played all the time, we were horrid, but it was fun. We were involved romantically with really nice people, who we all still miss a bit, we were very young and didn't really have to worry about anything. Basically the world hadn't had a chance to discourage us yet, we were young and impressionable, and energetic, and it was great. Of course none of us realized that back then, and we all collectively fucked it up in our own way. I won't bother going into all that in detail, as it is long, complex, and I don't think those involve would appreciate me sharing such personal things about them. But all this thinking and reminicing led to a fairly important talk between a very good friend of mine, who I dated during the days that we were thinking back to. She really hurt me badly, I think we both hurt each other a lot actually. We said a bunch of things that I think we both needed to hear. She a! ppologised to me for hurting me, and said it was the only thing that she has ever done in her life that she regrets...that is really one of the nicest things anyone has ever said or done for me. I won't bore you all with the play by play of the entire evening, but there was a lot of crying, a lot of appologies, and a lot of remorse, and I think we all feel better because of it. I mean, you can't change the past, but I think we made things right the best we could. Part of me wishes that I could have another chance with her, I don't think we would mess it up this time, but circumstances won't really allow for that. She lives a thousand miles away, and is with someone else...perhaps the chance has passed forever, but we know that we both care about eachother a very large amount, and that seems like what really matters now. Who know's what the future holds, one never can tell really. Nicole is a good girl, and no matter what we will always be friends. Well, after all of the! se developments the next one may seem a bit trivial, but oh well. I now have black hair, and I like it quite a bit. I think it is very sean-esque, and I plan on sticking with it for a while. I've even gotten compliments from unexpected people like co workers, and my mother. I want to congradulate all of the recent sinister romances! You are all very lucky, and my advice to you is to appreciate what you have. Don't take things like that for granted, because you may well spend years wishing you had done things differently if you do...that was the moral of my little story afterall. Maybe my post will inspire one of you to develop some sort of list crush on me? Come on don't be shy...crush away my pretties. Also, please don't hesitate to heed Elise's call for house warming gifts for your's truly. I would love to get things, and anything at all would be appreciated. I will make sure to return the favor to anyone who decides to show their genorosity, or hey, better yet yo! u could come visit me. Now that I don't have to ask my parents anymore, I can all the visitors I please! I will show you all how great baltimore is, and you will be able to sleep on my somew hat yukky sofa bed! It will be great, like a slumber party with more booze. Well, it's time to go home now, the working day is over, and I'm not too keen on staying here any longer. Expect another post from me in a couple of days, my stories are far from over.

Sinister: Scottish heather my arse
by Mark Casarotto 17 Jan '02

17 Jan '02

Hello. I had a blue screen of death earlier when composing what is rapidly becoming my daily sinister post, so this is the abridged, bad-tempered version. Except I'm kind of mellow tonight, lying in my bed watching naked Africans play with snakes (missus), so the temper's more hmmm, really. The Diary of an Unemployed Layabout isn't really what any of you will be particularly interested in, but it's my life at the moment, so that's what your getting. Highlight of the day - reading my electricity meter (85975, if you're interested). Not a lot of job-hunting went on, but my kitchen floor is now spotless (see previous sinister posts), and smells of "Scottish Heather". Those crazy detergent marketing guys! Oh, I give up. Mark's tip for the day - lemon-scented air freshener devices in your kitchen greet you with the aroma of freshly-brewed lemon tea whenever you enter. I like to think that the way I have discovered so many nuances about my house makes me similar in many ways to the trackers and tribesmen of the African veldt.

Sinister: I love my space shuttle
by 'Baby face' Bambino 17 Jan '02

17 Jan '02

Sinister, Has anyone else heard the appalling rumour that Robbie Williams will succeed Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, agent 007? My friends, we must take a stand. The time for liberal thought is at an end. The time for action is now. I propose that our organisation move underground. I have taken the liberty of devising a four-plan strategy to avert this terrible tragedy from ever taking place. But I warn you that each of these plans is more dastardly and desperate than the previous. And not for the faint of heart. I recommend that we split into four factions. If faction four should fail, then faction three will go to work. If faction three fail, then faction two will go to work. Well, you get the idea. Lets hope it doesnt have to go any further than that. Def-Con Four Operation: Dulux dragonfly Faction four will be under-cover operatives. They will infiltrate as many of the film sets as possible. When the movie is being shot, they will use paint guns (and red paint) to repeatedly shoot Mr Williams in the face. If James Bond appears to be fatally wounded in every single scene, it is my hope that film production will be cancelled. Def-Con Three Operation: Mutant monkey Faction three will consist of a small research team, led by eminent geneticist and sinisterian Rachel (sunnie_set). The objective of this group will be to develop a mutagen that will horribly deform Mr Williams. If he had for example, a scrotum growing out of his face or a tail, it is likely that the Film Company would seek out an alternative Bond. Def-Con Two Operation: Weapon weasel Faction two will gather intelligence, investigating the level of military firepower that is in the possession of current world governments and any weaknesses in their security that would allow hijacking or theft of such devices. It would then be possible to demand that filming was immediately and permanently ceased and perhaps that Mr Williams was (further) lobotomised or even executed. Def-Con One Operation: Armageddon ark Faction one will have the hardest task of all. It will be necessary for all members of Sinister to donate as much money as possible for realisation of this final and desperate arrangement. Negotiations will begin with the Russians and it is hoped that the acquisition of a large second hand space shuttle and quantity of nuclear weapons will be possible. It will then simply be a matter of taking off, nuking earth from space and colonising another planet. But, lets hope it doesnt come to that.

Sinister: wait a minute, where's me jumper
by mailben＠justicemail.com 17 Jan '02

17 Jan '02

Hola, I figure that I must have a pretty easy life. The most pressing decision I am struggling with at the moment is about my fat cat. No not my own pet managing director of utility company, but my actual fat cat. Basically I was given a cat by a friend who was moving and could no longer keep a cat in their new home. The cat is 12 years old, and fairly fat. Not completely round, but when she runs her belly swings left and right and rubs the floor so it is partially bald. The thing is that she is 12 years old, and you don't have to know her for long to realise the only thing she likes is food. So should I put her on a diet? She can spend her twilight years always hungry and annoyed with me. Or she could be happy and fat, hey at least it keeps her feet warm when she sits down. I have renamed her Fatty Lumpkin (Tom Bombadil's horse in Lord of the rings, I can't believe they missed him out of the film, philistines) and she seems to like it. Music based content in this email? naah. oh wait, I been hearing lately about a band called Camera Obscura and I am quite keen to hear some but looking around I see there are 2 of them: "CAMERA OBSCURA was formed in August of 1998 in San Diego" "Camera Obscura are a 6 piece from Glasgow" I take it it is the second one as I just found this review on roughguides.com: "she sounds like some annoying college-girl performing sing-along versions of her favourite Belle And Sebastian songs"..nice I hope all of you are planning to go to the meet in Brighton on February 9th. They have the sea there you know. It's quite big. bye Ben (a.k.a. hey you behind the bushes) p.s. if anyone knows list mummy can they tell her the archive search is down on sinister. _________________________________________________ FindLaw - Free Case Law, Jobs, Library, Community http://www.FindLaw.com Get your FREE @JUSTICE.COM email! http://mail.Justice.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I fought with a wobbly breast
by Kenneth P Y Chu 17 Jan '02

17 Jan '02

Hello, I watched a very cheesy kung fu film on TV the other night called "Bloodsports". The main star was this guy, and it seems the sole reason he got the role was because he can do the splits perfectly, so the whole first half of the film it seems is just us watching him doing the splits - on the floor, up a tree, balanced on two chairs, on a balcony on top of a hill - and that was about it.. niice. They had a good fighting bit towards the end tho. They have this other guy, who plays the baddie - the "special skill" he's got that got him the role was that he can do that thing where he tenses his muscles to make his breast muscle wobble - it was novel at the start, but you feel ill after he did it for the fifth time - eep! Just in case you're wondering what happened at the end of the film - the good guy (Mr. Splits) won, he put a submission hold on the baddie (Mr. Wobbles) and made him shout "uncle" in Japanese or something. Elise j. spry said: >>Jimmy and I have been watching a lot of BBC videos lately...and I find >>that Im starting this awful habit where I talk with a fake british >>accent. Does this happen... when you watch american TV?<< Elise, I have something.. I wanna tell ya.. I start taawkin' in a fake americin accent whenever I watch Americin chat shoows, and also elise.. i know i told you that i were a tasty chinese dumpling, but.. . . ahhhm actually aa maaaan.

Big Stu said: >>And now, all the US-held prisoners of war have their beards shaved off >>(denying them their religious beliefs), are tied up and gagged, are >>drugged, and are forcibly flown halfway around the world to be held in >>tiny cages in Cuba.<< Into S&M and bible studies, then?

Sinister: Minds are like parachutes - they only work when they're open
by Gardiner, Stuart 17 Jan '02

17 Jan '02

So, Jordi and Big Gay Mark have both come out of the closet (so to speak) and returned to the land of the Sinisters. Which is a good thing. Bring back the old guard, I say. Don't get me wrong, it's great having lots of new blood around the place, but I can't remember who's who, because I'm thick. It's always comforting to look at who a post is from, and know what to expect. In Mark's case, smut. In Ken's case, dirty dreams about girls. And in my case, a load of sh*** that noone wants to read. The silly season is almost upon us. Yes, that's right, it's time for the Winter Olympics. Giving us 2 weeks of people dancing on a sheet of ice (wouldn't it be easier to get onto dry land first?), the 2-man luge (2 people lying on top of each other going feet-first down a mile-long frozen waterslide), and the skeleton bobsleigh (1 person going down the same course headfirst on a teatray). It makes golf look sensible. I'm in a bad mood today. Sorry. It happens every time I see G**rg* B*sh on the TV in the morning. First the US bombers kill more innocent civilians in Afghanistan than died on September 11th (but that doesn't matter, because they're not Americans, right?). And now, all the US-held prisoners of war have their beards shaved off (denying them their religious beliefs), are tied up and gagged, are drugged, and are forcibly flown halfway around the world to be held in tiny cages in Cuba. That's every bit as evil as anything the Taleban did. This kind of thing has been going on for years (the USA is solely responsible for causing civil wars or installing dictators in countries around the world, from Chile to El Salvador to Indonesia to Iraq), yet I don't know of a single US citizen who agrees with it - how does the government keep getting away with it? I'm also in a bad mood because Sheffield Wednesday got knocked out of the FA Cup by Crewe. PU LP is a good (not a G!R!A!T!E!) album. Probably my third favourite album of last year (behind Tompaulin, and the re-release of Undeniably The Whitlams). But I've managed to scratch it already so that it doesn't play far-and-away the best song on it, Sunrise. Have I mentioned that I'm in a bad mood? It's also depressing to realise that in just 12 days time, I'll hit 25 years old. And I'm not even close to having a proper job, a wife and kids and a house of my own. It might be downhill all the way from here. I might even turn into Mark. I want to learn how to become a procrastinator, but I just keep putting it off.
