Sinister: Roald Dahl [non-B&S]

In a message dated 98-03-01 18:06:57 EST, you write: << Lizzie mentioned Road Dahll well, may i just point out that this guy is NOT As INNOCNET AS WE ALL BELIEVE! in the Oxfam shop in Preston, theres 2 copies of a book called 'Switch Bitch' by ROAD DAHL! and you can guess as to their content can't you!!! Oxfam too....dearie me...then again i didbuy a TOM JONES! boigrapghy there. >> Roald Dahl is a fantastic writer and despite the sometimes macabre, frequently shocking, but always entertaining nature of his stories, he is not as misanthropic as many would have us believe. I recommend "Switch Bitch" and "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life : The Country Stories of Roald Dahl" highly. Okay, he is quite the purveyer of the perverse (see: "My Uncle Oswald" about a post- Victorian self-styled sperm broker intent on preserving the ....um.... specimens of all the great minds of his day.) but there are few writers with the imagination to elevate the 'weird' to 'art' as he does. ~harry manning ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

He was a great social critic of the Reagan-era. He also has a routine that makes fun of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany in such a crude and cutting way I imagine it'd still bring tears to their eyes if they were ever to hear.

I think that could happen...in an alternate universe where everything is complete PANTS, maybe! Egad! Perhaps Stuart et al will suddenly change their personalities completely and become media whores of the first order. Does this sound likely to anyone? No. Besides, the thought of Evans listening to anything so beautiful is really bizarre.

Sinister: Begging Bowl
by Ruth McCurry 03 Mar '98

Is there any way that one of you nice people could make me a tape of any radio sessions, demos, live bootlegs that you might have? I have all the records but in the absence of anything new I'm developing a serious craving for more. The only unreleased thing I have is Seymour Stein, which I managed to tape off the radio on a rare occasion when my tuner was working properly. I can't offer a great deal in return. I have an embarrassingly large collection of jangly 80s cack, so maybe if there's anything in that line that some of you would like to have on tape, you could let me know? Perhaps you could e-mail me so as not to bore people on the list? It looks like I'm called Ruth, but really I'm not. Lots of love, DAVID ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Judy
by Adrian Evans 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

Every buggers having B&S related dreams.....snot fair. As an insomniac the dreams are obviously few and far between. Can anyone please advise me what substances they take in the hours leading up to their retirement ? Most ordinary people would have dreams a few seconds before waking up in the morning. Nay me. After a bizarre concoction of both legal and slightly-less-than-legal substances last night (taken to get me through the footie one will understand) it was no surprise to me that I was out-like-a-light as soon as my head hit the pillow. However, this success was short lived. Within seconds of me marching into the dream arena I was bolt upright in terror after being chased by GIANT LEGO MEN (Me thinks Lego is universal). Maybe under normal circumstances this wouldn't be so peculiar (then again), but for the fact that these lego men were of no single colour bricks. This is just so unlike me. I wouldn't go to the extent of organising a cd collection in alphabetical order, but when building giant Lego men, using the same colour bricks is of upmost importance. Anyone got any ideas ? Adey-the-suit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
