THE INFAMOUS HASKELL/MURDOCH CONNECTION I was watching television the other day, and Leave it to Beaver was on. There was talk of sweets and talk of the Beav having a sleep-over, and if Wally can sleep at his friend's, why can't the Beav? So Wally and Lumpy went to visit old Eddie Haskell at the garage. I'm not sure if this particular actor always played young Edward, but I'll be darned if he didn't look much like Stuart. So my point is, next time you're watching Leave it to Beaver, keep an eye out for Eddie. Tell me that he doesn't look a bit like our own Stuart Murdoch. SPEAKING OF THE DEVIL... He still hasn't written back yet, although I didn't expect him to- I just wanted to thank him. Your tales of the beach and hobknobbing with the stars are inspiring and disheartening at the same time. One day, though- One day I'll see them. A NOTE ON ACCOMPLISHMENTS We just hit our 500th digest a few back, hooray for everyone. I also like the new addition to the quote box at the end of every post. See if you can pick out which one I'm talking about. ON DIFFICULTIES OF LEARNING TO PLAY LEFT-HANDED GUITAR I will send my right arm and left leg (for aesthetic purposes, we must have balance) for a set of Belle & Sebastian pins. I didn't want to resort to this, but I've got two kid- neys as well, if anyone's children are needing. Or if you'd rather, I could send you an autographed cd-r of Secret Agent X-9's greatest hits. BUT SERIOUSLY, FOLKS I am really excited to read about all of your concert experiences, keep them coming! WHAT IS POPULAR IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT, AND WHAT IS RIGHT IS NOT ALWAYS POPULAR. I don't know about the pedal steel in Carriage Clock. No offense if the player's on the list, I don't question your talent at all. You play a mean pedal steel but I didn't think it fit with the rest of the song. And for anyone who's wondering, I got this particular subheading off of a banner I saw in my seventh grade mathematics class. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
