this is the slogan i'm pushing for the next national gay week. i think i might submit this to the Gay Council of Ireland, upon which the gaylords and high queens rule with an iron fist (crude). hegemony is a wonderful thing. tricky to pronounce though. i've never been able to tell whether it should be a soft or a hard 'g'. somewhat similar to the pronunciation of yer one 'Ling' from Ally McBeal...but that's a skeleton in my closet that i really ought to have buried under the patio of my wasted youth by now. oh, folly! thus, you see, get bent can be a sentiment for the season that's in it and this mail isn't from someone who wants to ruin yer christmas. or from brad. i've never been able to understand people who don't like Christmas. particularly this year. four NEW episodes of the Vicar of Dibley in the space of a few days. usually we have to wait a MONTH to get these beauties onto a blank tape before they're gone forever. mr. bbc ownerman will be paying my dry-cleaning bills. yes sir. apparently the bbc are in cahoots with off-licenses around the country, and this year are dedicating their christmas schedule to encouraging their license-holders to drink themselves into a stupor...which is a laudable sentiment in itself. it's the highest form of entertainment we have. and don't forget, kids, this could be your last chance to be hospitalised before the new year. and if you overdo it on new year's eve who knows if the ambulances will be working what with the millennium bug an' all. no, best to get the good beds while they're still going begging. get drunk for christmas. and get bent aswell. love nickie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
