Hmm... OK.... so I was drinking. Huge amounts of freshly-squeezed lemonade. Hmm... OK.... so I was flipping through a fairly recent copy of "Giant Robot." I had just returned from the record store, and was quite satisfied with my fill of magazines, B&S Singles and heavily tattooed women. Stop, Look and Listen came over the stereo, me hearing it for the first time. And, from over the fence next door, I hear some giggling. So, I look up and see a head and deep blue shirt bouncing up and down over the fence, seemingly in sync with the music. The neighbors had just bought a trampoline, and the two younger brothers have been thoroughly enjoying it EVERY SINGLE DAY. I should have taped it, and made my own B&S video. Forever preserve the surrealism of the moment. Maybe taped it all grainy-like, so it looks like one of those cheesy ABC Afterschool specials from the 1970s. I'm just waiting for the day when they figure out that they can have massive amounts of fun bouncing *other* things on the trampoline, besides human bodies. Maybe then, I'll tape it. Rob P.S. I'm A Cuckoo (by the Avalanches) -- What the hell is that? B&S meet Hakuna Matata? My Lord... I like the Lion King. I like African music. I *love* B&S. BUT NOT IN THE SAME FUCKING SONG!!!! The Avalanches deserve a prolonged sharp stick-poking for that. Or repeated shocks with a Tazer. :-P +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
