okay who remembers the episode of the Young Ones (it was "NASTY" i think) wherein Vyvyan goes into a wardrobe during a game of hide and seek and as he's walking deeper and deeper into it he starts getting snowed on, and then he stumbles out into a field and then that freaky witch woman on her sled with some little dwarf guy (Michael something was the name of the actor, he was in lots of other shows that needed dwarfs in the eighties) driving it offers Vyvyan some <sweetmeats>? well needless to say it's a really funny goof on the whole "Lion the witch and the wardrobe" series, which i think all self-respecting children should read at one time or another. actually all children should read it even if they don't respect themselves. i didn't. there's another cool series called "the dark is rising", by susan cooper. it's about this kid who goes to wales on vacation and discovers this whole welsh legend about a golden harp and....well you'll just have to read it yourself. i remember it starts out with this awesome poem about a prophecy, and as a little girl in massachusetts with no self-respect, i spent many an hour memorizing it. and i still know it to this day. okay back into the woodwork i go. nastily, kim _________________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
