Hello Sinister. PICTURE THE SCENE <<A sweaty college bar somewhere in North Yorkshire on a Friday, beer spilt on tiled floor, the quiet acoustic bit from Ash's "Girl From Mars" blaring from the PA. "I still love you the girl from..." At this point, Asm abandons his position behind the decks, lauches himself in the air, from the DJ booth, on a trajectory directly colliding with James Thorniley, his head flung back, imaginary Gibson Flying V around his neck, back arched. "Mars!", screams Wheeler, as the distonion kicks in. Asm lands on the slippery floor on his dickey knee. He'll be okay though, the adrenalin will be enough to see him through. Then Thorniley, who had skillfullly avoided the incoming deejay, plumets into Asm's shoulder and aforementioned knee, and moshing is abruptly halted to avoid further injury.>> It's quite a scene. James Thorniley nearly killed me on Friday with his over-zealous dancing, but his public apolgies are acceptable, of course. It's not bruised, James, just quite stiff. Go on Archel, or Big Stu, make some smut out of that. IT'S BETTER TO REGRET SOMETHING YOU HAVE DONE THAN TO REGRET SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T DONE As seems to be the way of it these days, I've been neglecting you. The pattern goes lurk-lurk-lurk-lurk-feel guilt-post, on loop. You can thank (?) the boy Thorniley for prompting me this time. If it wasn't for his clumsy actions at the weekend I'd still be silent. Probably. I must say though that I've been reading a lot more than usual; I'm digging this retro-sinister revival thing, with SUBJECT HEADINGS, and people mispelling "great". Mummy I've Grazed My Knee's post was sheer nostalgia, and all the better for it in a kinda Brit-pop Club Night way. Richard. John. Gillander's post was inexplicable genius, and Ken's top 5 whinges were brilliant, although I'd be tempted to make it a non-round Top 7, in order to include http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200303/msg00020.html, and of course http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200304/msg00008.html. As these post demonstrate in the most elegant and beautiful ways, the old days might be the best, but modern-day sniping is still Sini-gold. THIERRY HENRY WILL BE OUT FOREVER, HAVING SUSTAINED DEATH DURING ARSENAL'S 2-0 WIN OVER BOLTON I can't stop playing CM4 at the moment, which is very sad, but I'm sure I'm not alone here. Mark, how are you getting along with Torquay? Any good tactics? Apparently, one of the "injuries" that the players can sustain in the new game is death. It's quite realistic, y'know. BOOEY POTTOM I'll love you and leave you now. I'm sorry if you think I'm clogging up your inbox - it's almost as if I've forgotten how to post these days. Speak to you in a couple of months then. love Asm.x ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail messages direct to your mobile phone http://www.msn.co.uk/msnmobile +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
