Sinister: celebrity boxing

hello all In answer to your question Ruth, yes, there is a tv show over here in America called "Celebrity Boxing". It features such stars as Screech from "Saved by the Bell", Danny Bonaduce of the "Partridge Family.", and Greg Brady from "The Brady Bunch." It also features certain people like John Wayne Bobbitt, who rose to fame in the early 90's after his wife cut off his "manhood" after she found out he was having an affair. John Wayne Bobbitt was going to box Joey Buttafucco, who got famous by sleeping with 17-year-old Amy Fisher, then he went on to host a talk show. Another example of folks dying to fight in this show and reclaim their fame are Tonya Harding and Darva Conger, the winner of the infamous tv show, "Who wants to marry a millionaire? Needless to say, it's a show that no one likes to admit that they watch, and as far as I know it has not been renewed for another season. -Jen +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I took my lucky break and I broke it in two
by richard john gillanders 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

hi and all that. I went to the national pop league on friday and before it I met stuart murdoch but, yeah, of course it wasn't stuart murdoch it just looked a bit like him if you looked at him the right way. I shoulda guessed since this guy had a mobile phone even if he couldn't always get it to work. I wonder if he had "who will buy this beautiful morning?" as his ringtone. again. he wouldn't have fooled me since I knew he had an E. and that kid definitely didn't. although I might be more inclined to watch him if he had. coulda turned those pickpockets into a bunch of ravers. doesn't sound much worse than what they've done with other crap transference of period crap things before. anyway. I went to a pub quiz in glasgow on sunday. we, like, quite won it and by making one of my friends look like a clown and not choosing a fellow scott walker fan I managed not to win the money prize. we had to make do with the beer prize. no-one else won the money prize. that was, like, two weeks ago, I guess. we went again last sunday and won quite well again and I went up on stage again and the quiz guy, well, he remembered me. he made some cheap remark about my outfits. well. I tried to find out what was behind the green door and it turned out to be paul mccartney and wings. double-sided, mind you. not two faced. actually. six faced. although I almost forgot about it. and other things. but was reminded and reunited by a new acquaintance. oh yeah. but we didn't win the money prize again and I told the dude "see ya next week" and I thought I was funny enough. oh yeah. before the quiz. we went to some INDYMEDIA thing at the GFT. that was kinda funny but also sort of BORING. I was amazed when an ally walked in. turned out he was american though. I wouldn't mind some american allies. but no american allys. my one and only ally was in sweden at the time. that was what the amazement was for. that was there. at first. not that they looked too similar. just similar enough that I could make myself believe that I believed it was him. self-belief has never been a problem. don't ask me why. please. ally said they don't have apostrophes in sweden. I thought I'd like to live there. in that case. IN THIS CASE? no, not unless I'm thinking of statistics. it's strange how natural behaviour can be affected, exaggerated when it's known that it's being recorded. well, I'd prefer no apostrophes to too many. if you know what I mean. ally now says that they actually do have apostrophes. just in the wrong places. so, it's too much like here. I think I'll stay put, for the moment. this moment could last as long as one month. give or take a day. I hope it lasts this long. only. since after that time I don't know what! maybe I'll be re-evaluating something I think I'm already re-evaluating. but from afar. if I can convince that I am worthy. and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. well. I happened, also, to see Stevie Jackson and All his Band on saturday night. that was good. they played a bunch of ROCK 'N' ROLL tunes. bob and mick and stuart were there too. and that kid that was on the caledonian macbrains shit TV show once and who I had sort of reprimanded already. maybe last year. but. yeah. another couple of random guys playing and singing. the bassist looked like he was straight out of the mavericks. his shirt did. at least. although, turned out he WAS some sort of maverick. a television voiceover maverick, if you will. if I could, you know. but. yeah. there was some impressive dancing on show. some people were more impressed than others. some of us were compressed. some of us, whatever, repressed. blah blah blah blah blah blah. if I had bothered to set this out in chronological order. I might never have sent it. I have talked about ivor cutler and person to person file transferring and how a colour, thought by some to be cream or something, was probably just off-white. and all the time my face was getting less redder. or not quite as red. man, these were different occasions, okay? I don't care. colours. I so used to care. I'd like to visit london at the end of september. I'm being, almost, sponsored by some. it seems. or just. coaxed. or just. being told it would be okay if I did. I mean. cuz I said I'd like to. why would they say I shouldn't? well, they wouldn't, obviously. it's nice when it seems like people like you. I read in the herald today that 'the likes of indie troupe Belle & Sebastian are reviving Van songs such as Brown Eyed Girl." this was, of course, within a piece about van morrison. ivan the terrible. I quite like him but. we ALL know what 'brown eyed girl' is about. anyway. what's this? B&S are reviving? as we speak? no they ain't. have they revived? I hadn't thought so. 'brown eyed girl' IS a song by van morrison. that much is true. what's it all about? yeah. uh-huh. okay. yeah. I don't even mind that this is my least favourite thing I've ever written. today. love, richard. __________________________________________ Join http://www.toast.com today for your own free, flash-based webmail! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: celebrity boxing
by Ruth Allan 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

hey people to compliment jonathan's post regarding televison, I've lately become intrigued with a show called "celebrity boxing". it's apparently broadcast in north america and features various "zlist" celebs who actually box! how fantastic. is it true? to more mundane things (yay!) life here, though I might whine, complain and try not to post too frequently about it, is equally fine. I've relocated to manchester after 6 months with dumb brums who of course are not at all dumb an just sound that way to outsiders who cant understand why speak so gradually. its just precise. I think. which leads me to mention a recent discovery about the self. I'd long thought I was nothing like my father. unlike him I am excitable, have interest in subjects other than gardening, valve widths or the state of my gout / cabbages/ assorted other weekly obsessions and think I rush around quickly. But over time, at work especially, Ive noticed that as folks run out of the building to the city below, lunch , home or toilet, I have long been left behind, like the kid who couldnt get her jacket on properly at school and others said "rooooooootttthhh" in a long drawn out kind of doh fashion as she scrabbled to get her stuff together, as they still do. At a "getting to know each others name" social-work (event) this evening I , having drifted off a bit, re engaged into conversation to find my boss doing a canny inpression of me precisely placing objects into my various bags "she's the slowest person alive! like this.. place, place, place mumbling this goes here and the phone here and the..." Now if I were I more sensitive soul may have take this to heart, but no, I instead felt proud to be precise like my dad. some girls are slower than others? to return to the point of recently having moved back to mancheser, I am slihtly overwhelmed by the lack of boredom and increase in social comitments Its so weird! I actually have things to say occasssionally... BUT! amongst this plethora of social whirl I would love to meet other sinisterines who might be in the area, perhaps to see a band and for starters at short notice I might recommend the CITY:LIVE night on monday @ roadhouse manchester england (sorry to most of list!) featuring the amazing Moco. you needent even speak to me! just go! they ROCK! a quick thank you to colin for the tape tree, james for the CD burning service and david for being very very lovely ruthx _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Long Time no Post...
by Chimpee McChimp 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

Hello all, I really haven't had a reason to post in oh say 3 years... Funny that I have been on this list that long. Where did everyone else go? To Paul Field: Love your flat post. Get any replies? I can vouch for Paul, he's a real stand-up guy. Definitely a keeper. You'd be lucky to have a roomie like him... I've been listening to the Ramone's lately. For no good reason other than it makes my drive to seem less. It's great to pass semi's in the fog listening to those 3 minute songs. That's what pop is about. Passing semi's.

Sinister: Ooo graduation! The long awaited day...
by Jacintha J 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

Hello all, I was in such suspense about graduating to a fully-fledged Sinister member, having been reading all your lovely posts for ever so long now. However the day that I had been anticipating for so long turned out to be rather an anticlimax when I realised that I had in fact received an email several days ago saying that I had graduated. How I missed it I have no idea. But yay! I have my voice. I feel like Ariel in The Little Mermaid when she is able to speak again. Well, I suppose I'd better get the awkward introduction bit out of the way - here's where you scroll down the page in an uncaring fashion, secure in the knowledge that you all already know each other and I am merely a lonely newcomer! Hi, I'm Jo. I am 19 years of age and was born in the fair month of January. I currently reside in Preston (north-west England) because it is the holidays. Soon I will return to sunny (aha ha ha) Sheffield to begin my second year studying history and philosophy at university. So, that's me. I apologise for the unoriginality of my introduction, there have to be people like me or the witty and interesting people just wouldn't get on in life. If anyone lives near either of those places and would like to take me under their wing I would be very grateful if they would email me, bereft as I am of Belle and Sebastian loving friends. Well that's all I have to say. I realise I may have slightly bent a Sinister rule already by not mentioning Belle and Sebastian so much in this email, but if I smile sweetly at Mummy I hope I will be forgiven. I was just so excited to have a voice! love Jo xxx ~if i cannot change the will of heaven i will release hell~ _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
