well hello there sinister boys and girls. I havent posted in absolutly ages how the hell are you all? ****subject line well this has to do with a very strange story i heard recently involving my friend who was in munich. She was sitting in a rather large bar and people watching,when she saw this rather attractive french girl wearing implausibly tight jeans.She was flirting with a load of men and women she was with.She then throughout the evening began to take bathroom trips with these people(only one at a time)and coming back looking ever more dishevelled when she got back to the table.After about the third guy she had been out with,the two came back to the table looking rather sheepish.The guy she had been with had a large object in his hand and was stroking it and cradling it in his arms like an infant.My friend strained to see what this was ,and yes it was a potato.about twice the size of his fist.My friend made eye contact with him as he cradled his *trophy?* .he just raised one eyebrow and quickly averted his gaze.When this was related to me over the phone i thoughtshe was describing a dream she had had due to its bizare nature.I thought freud would have had a field day with that one.But ! ! ! no it turned out that this was reality.I was quite amused. actually it could be made into a belle and sebastian song.(that was a bit tenuous honey i know) Are there any list members either in Italy(rome,florence) or in moscow as i will be in both these plces in the nearish future and wondered if you might like to meet up.Or if any list members would like to meet in Dublin there may be a meet up not this weekend but next.Ok i had this whole other thing i was going to type about how cool canadians are and how there is a lot of good canadian music around but actually i am too lazy to type it now,so you'll never know. richard. ***************************************************** "I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"" jack Kerouac-on the road **************************************************** Visit http://www.oceanfree.net to get your free e-mail account and use our unique Irish Internet directory +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
