Sinister: Love and Scrambled Eggs
by Reggie Whitecastle 05 Jul '02

05 Jul '02

Greetings Belle and Sebastian Fans Wow, a second post in the same week. Yesterday, while working, I was the one of only five people at my work complex. A few weeks ago they asked for volunteers to work on July 4th and I happily volunteered since I have a hefty coin habit to support and I really had nothing else to do anyway. After work, I was surprised as I drove home past my favorite diner to see it was open. I guess, after observing these posts, I've come to see that this seems to be the kind of forum where an old geezer like me can whine about his love life. Or lack thereof. Eight years ago, my ex wife and I got a divorce. I guess she hasn't really been replaced--instead I've just started obsessing over collecting things. I have 2 iguanas, a chameleon, and a snake named Baby. They are my family. Lately, though, I've found someone that I really admire and who I wish would love me. Her name is Denise, and she's the waitress at my favorite diner, Gunther Tooties. So.. last night when I drove by, I instinctively thought of her and whether or not she was working. Denise always refills my coffee right when I am wanting more. She gives me extra hashed browns and winks at me. A few times I've written her poems on my napkin, "Denise You make me weak in the knees Would you love me please?" But it just doesn't convey the message I want, and I end up tearing up the napkin each and every time. How can I tell this woman that I love her? Oh, woe is me! She's the kind of woman that I want to call "Sunshine" ! When I am feeling especially down in the dumps about Denise, I listen to "The Boy Done Wrong Again" and feel sorry for myself. My iguanas, John and Yoko, always make me feel better... but... there's just something about a human presence that a reptile's cannot match (Don't tell them I said that! LOL!) . So, I drove past the diner, and stepped in. I asked the busboy if Denise was working and he said she had the day off to visit her husband, who is in prison. I had never known about a husband. And at that moment I felt my heart go bursting into a thousand pieces. Toodles! Reggie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!

Sinister: Sleeping with the enemy
by Sam Walton 05 Jul '02

05 Jul '02

Hewwo sinister. Ive been quiet of late because of mounting Uni work. But now its all over I can relax and sit on my arse sending emails to a bunch of bedroom saddo devotees. I applied for a job at V-Shop, went for an interview, and today I got it. Yay! to me. Satan's waiting for Monday morning with a red hot arse-poker with my name on it. It's not so bad though, I keep telling myself I can be like a mole on the inside, carefully positioning B&S records in front of Destiny's Child, Primal Scream in front of Gareth Gates. The other people who work there seem okay, too, plus it's money (well, £4.88 per hour), and that's currently what I need. I'm a slave to the working week now, doncha know. So if anybody finds themselves in Londons Trendy Crouch End (to give it its full title), drop and say hello. I bought a laptop the other day, and rather spanking it is too. I'm pleased with it, anyway. The only slightly annoying thing is that my archaic version of Championship Manager is now obsolete - I was all ready to have an illicit game in bed (IN BED! yes, lets play Spot The Bluddy Stoodent) when it said: "This program cannot run on this platform". Bastards at MicroSoft want to deny me of fun. I've ordered the ChampMan update, natch. Recent posts have been lovely. Ive read every one since I got back from Uni and realised I had nothing better to do. I enjoyed Terrys B&S quiz, and Dannys How To Be A Hipster In Five Easy Steps, and Jasons five-timer grew on me ;-) As you can prolly tell by the rambling nature of this email, I've not done much this week, apart from get a job, and be thwarted in my attempt to indulge in nocturnal ChampMan sessions. Timmmytoast Henman just went out of Wimbledon, about which I have nothing interesting say. There's only five weeks until the beginning of the football season. Yippidy, and, quite literally, doo-dah.

Sinister: oh come on, just dish. or just sip from your cup.
by kmhyde＠wm.edu 05 Jul '02

05 Jul '02

Oh, chuckle, chuckle. It's been over a year since my last sinister post. Will that do for an act of contrition? let's just go with it. The whole 'post-graduation dream of success' thing has kind of blown up in my face. Lesson to be learned, w/r/t taking jobs on the basis that they permit physical proximity to girlfriend: don't do it, as girlfriend will break-up with you in hilarious fashion, which is both de- and impressive. Has any other guy on the list ever fallen victim to the old "I want my relationship to be like Meg Ryan lightning bolt type love. But I could also imagine myself marrying you and having like 40 of your children." Oh man, that one kills me every time I get it. contra-heartbreaking news, I saw my first Belle and Sebastian show in May. Is anyone still holding their breath for an excruciatingly detailed review of the D.C. show? It was good, and I danced a lot. Also, my friend was hugged by a very nice girl after the concert for dancing, and I'm not kidding here, "like the devil himself". So, lest this turn into a very very boring personal thing, let me just mention that I'm glad to be back on the list, with the likes of, well, I can't remember who the current list celebrities are, so I'll go with Chu and Llew. and but, being compared to Andy Dick on a nearly daily basis will, in fact, have a definite pernicious effect on self-esteem/burgeoning agoraphobia. me, Kev +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Cheer up goth! Have an Irn Bru!
by Jason Andreas 05 Jul '02

05 Jul '02

I tried that line of a couple of goths in Rufus T Firefly's last night. They didn't cheer up. Nor did they take the Irn Bru. Spoilsports. I've actually given up Irn Bru now. Which will undoubtedly come as a shock to, well, anyone who knows me. Ever. C'est la vie. I needed to try and quit while I still had a couple of teeth left. Eek, dentists are evil!!! Goodness, it's sunny today. How on earth did that happen? *basks* Oh well, I think this'll be Scotland's summer, so we may as well make the most of the 12 hours we're allocated per year of sunshine, eh? I'm 21 today! Hurrah! Now, how did you people allow me to live this long...? Yes, so I'm having a wee do tonight (which has been placed in the Metro as being an Andreas Johnson gig for some reason - someone's gotta be taking the piss!) in the 13th Note, so if you see a kilted wandered walking around, come and say hi. Said kilt will also be making appearance in "Jillys" in Manchester tomorrow night, so if there's any Manchester folk going, come say hi. Hurrah! I'm saying hurrah an awful lot. Hurrah! I'm on the verge of finally leaving Cumbernauld and moving into a nice wee Glasgow flat in the Southside somewhere, which is good. I'm also gonna dye my hair again, because it's about the only thing I *can* do with it. Enjoyed the QMU gig muchly. Especially when Stuart lost his temper. Such a sexy man when he's angry... ;) Not as sexy as the girlies who were agreeing with my calls for Modern Rock Song to be played. It's become a tradition now for them to completely ignore my requests for it. Gah! One day... *rubs hands together in evil plotting mode* Can someone tell me why, when I have a CD player, MD player and MP3 player, I've gone back to listening to cassettes? What happened to technophile Jase? Grr! And while I'm asking questions, why are God Machine and Girls Against Boys albums so bloody difficult to get a hold of in Glasgow? Cure gig this month too! Whee! 15 minutes. Endless drivel. I shall go away now. - Jase xx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: pubnic glorious weather (important point!)
by Brian McNeill 05 Jul '02

05 Jul '02

Well whata scorcher out there?! yay! i think Idleberry should announce a pubnic every day from now until October. Let's see if we can keep the weather looking good, no picnics 'cos it will pisseth down then. I just remebered that the city centre of Glasgow is going to be full of religous loonies tomorrow. As it's the Orange Walk, so don't bring along that comedy pope bunnet anyone. Walking through the town centre of Glasgow today in glorious sunshine, there was a loada goth types waiting outside hmv in argyle street in leather and black. Sweltering and wearing runny eyeliner.. And then on the bus there was a guy wearing a doc marten brogue (oxblood) and a white trainer. Very fetching it looked, but not for me ah well im away for a coool beer and a good book. farewell till tomorrow brian (he of teh exploding telly) _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Take Your Fanny Pack and Shove It
by robin stout 05 Jul '02

05 Jul '02

Hello Suddenly I have all sorts of things to say, and not much time to say it in. I've decided to split it up into installments, so you don't all get bored. *** Archel said: "i was momentarily concerned to hear that rachel's fanny looks like isobel's, then i remembered that she is american, dude, so it isn't nearly such a strange thing to reveal..." I've just come back from America, and among the million infomercials I saw one for an "Amazing Three in One Fanny Firmer". My friend who I was staying with heard me laughing and couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. "I got myself a firmer fanny in only two weeks with the amazing fanny firmer." It truly was amazing. he he! It reminded me of a time when I was still at school and nine o-clock on saturday mornings still had meaning to me. That meaning was saturday morning tv. I was a Going Live! boy through and through, but even I got bored sometimes, especially when they had the Agony Uncle on. I remember his main piece of advice was always "Tell the big boys to bog off" and I'm sure hundreds of spotty nosed, speccy boys still bear the scars today from the beatings they got because of it. Well, one morning I had flicked over to CITV, which I think at the time was being presented by a giant kangaroo, and they were on the whacky purple sofa doing an interview with Hulk Hogan, who was promoting his new film, "Mister Nanny". The interview was going well, and although I wasn't allowed to watch wrestling so I couldn't understand much of it, I was still fascinated enough by his droopy moustaches to stop myself flipping channels. At the end of the interview, Hulk Hogan pointed his ten inch finger at camera one for a close up. He growled: "I'm Mister Nanny, and I'm gonna whup yo fanny" Now I wasn't quite sure what "whupping" was, but I certainly knew what a fanny was, so I was sure that a "whupped" one was even ruder. I was shocked. The presenters were shocked. Their faces were all squiggles and lines. The kangaroo made a hasty pratfall to try to divert attention from Hulk's confused expression, and his moustaches which were drooping more and more by the second. The commercials came on. I flipped back to Going Live!, where Trevor and Simon were swinging their pants. I knew where I was safe. ITV was just too hot to handle. *** ooh, I've got an awful lot to say, but I have to do a bit of work. So I'll save the rest for the next installment, including all about my holiday, and maybe, who knows, a little b+s content... Until then... bye!
