Happy Snow Day, Sini-dos and Sini-dont's.... Yes, I am still cranky and we'll get to that later. It snowed last night. I'm not sure how much we got in inches or centimetres, I can tell you that we got enough to cover your shoes. "Shoes?" you say...Yes, when I left work yesterday I forgot to put my hiking boots on. I must say also that my shoes are not in really good shape right now and I need a new pair. But these ones are very comfortable and I like them. I hate buying shoes. Work has been somwhat stressfull lately. I sort of had to apply for my job today. This is the job I have been doing for quite some time now. But someone came up with the brainstorm to call it a project and I had to write a letter of interest with my résumé. I really hate writing my résumé so I summed up my entire career in 4 lines. Considering I have been setting type since I was 14 and I've been involved in graphic design most of my career where I work, I think I accomplished the ultimate in conciseness. Tomorrow is my meeting with the new muckety-muck to discuss my "opinions and observatons." (You may recall my anti-apathy e-mail campaign from last week) I met him for the first time yesterday and will have some fun in my meeting tomorrow. I am looking forward to all the excuses I will hear. The really good part about the whole thing is that I will be in the office where my friend works and she has offered to take me out to lunch. Since she is a muckety-muck herself I will be able to have a nice leisurely lunch before my meeting. I will add, that although my friend is exceptionally attractive and she has a really nice bum (more about bums later), I'll not have the same difficulties as with my lunch from last week because we are just friends. Mind you, the last two times we have gone for lunch there have been questions as to exactly what we were up to for being gone so long. Let 'em wonder.... A few comments on some other e-mails...

i'm only mentioning this because you seem like appropriately twee people and you would know these things.
does anyone remember an animated tv series called 'the green forest' or some such? thinking about it....arg.
Yes, I know the show you are talking about, it was called "Tales from the Green Forest". Really bad animation, kinda the teletubbies of the late seventies but without the special effects and witty dialogue. I think it came on just before or after that all time classic, Hammy Hamster (or whatever the show was called) . I'm surprised that non of them ever won any Emmys. Such good acting. I hope you realise, Steve, my mission in life now is to somehow seek revenge on you. Finally, sometime in 1986, I was able to get that stupid theme song out of my head once and for all. You have brought it back. Thanks a hell of a lot. I am now whistling the tune from Hogan's Heroes. Do you hear it? Good, I hope it gets stuck in your head for a few days and your sleep gets interupted by nightmares of being stuck in a room with Richard Dawson telling you, "Survey Says!" Arantxa Sanz wrote:
Isobel's bum : It is not small, that's all I am going to say.
I like big bums. I like Isobel's bum. That's all I am going to say. Elizabeth Daplyn wrote:
Does anyone else have a problem with attracting nutters?
Oh yes. This much I can assure you, if a woman is a nutter, I have dated her, am dating her, or I am about to date her. But it's not only nutty women. I also get accosted by the men. A few years ago, this total loonie used to come and bother me at lunch almost every day. He was about 65 years old or so, always dressed in clothing left that was most likely older than I, based upon the style, the fabric was so synthetic that it would probably see Y3K. He was short and thin, but kinda wiry and every day he would come by and call me names or try to pick a fight with me. I ignored him, but he kept coming back. He was also quite loud so it always looked as though I was accosting him. This kind of stuff happens to me all the time and no matter how much I avoid these types of people they seem to still manage to find me. Here's one that got me wondering. Occasionally I get submissions sent directly to me for the e-zine. Since I'm only the pictures guy and I do a lot of the background administrative stuff, people still send me stuff. Now the zine is gothic-erotic. It is totally warped and I don't read anything on there. Not even when I do the page set-up (old typographers trick where you can get away without reading some of the crap you set). I like doing the graphics because I get to do it in black and white a lot and I enjoy working in B&W...but that's all something else. Funny thing though, I am the least gothic person on the planet. The only black clothing I own is one tee-shirt from a computer supplier and my socks. B So this guy sends me a story and I accidently read it. It is about him going nuts in his car and driving into a crowd of ethnics. Now from what I gather, the story is neither gothic nor erotic. I sent it to the oher people. I'm still wondering about this one. And in case you didn't notice, the B&S content was the bit about Isobel's bum. Okay, so there was absolutely no reason for me to say this, you are right. I just wanted to say Isobel's bum again. There, I said it again, and I will do it again, Isobel's bum. Alexander Damn, my connection sucks tonight so I can't even go look at naked pictures on the net...I wonder if The Major left Toy Story here....that mom has a cute bum too. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@missprint.org".
