so here's one for our american cousins: sat this saturday evening watching tv on a rare occassion and on comes this Dawsons Creek show and we sit and guffaw like good uns. Many reasons for these outbursts of unrestrained frivolity but main ones caused by: 1. the sight of a high school english teacher snogging a 15 year old boy. i mean... we tried thinking about the same situation happening at our school, but the duchess squeeled 'don't go there!' So we didn't. But i mean... sheesh. But then wasn't there that story a while back about a 12 year old kid making his teacher pregnant? Scary world. 2. The High School dance was grooving to what sounded like a soundtrack stright outta the 80s. Is US High School really like this? or just in trashy tv shows set in the middle of nowhere? it was weird. At least in our high school dance last summer we had a kid chopping some house tunes and some drum'n'bass. I mean, they could have at least played some B&S. Still, it's heartening to see another show about the crushes that simmer between next door neighbours. Or something. Best line? 'He's so un-kissworthy' and me desperately wanting it to have been 'he's so uncrushworthy'. Maybe we can play spot the indiepop reference there, so that, uh, whoever slagged off the P!O!P! boy andreas can add me to his kill list :-) answers on a postcard please to the usual address. stay strange kids, it's the only way to be. the duke -- i'm not brave, i'm not special, i'm not any of those things. ------------------------------- Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
