There's a reason it's called suck.com. troyhakala sent with Office E-mail on Windows 2000 -----Original Message----- From: allen [mailto:ussher@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca] Sent: Friday, July 02, 1999 2:33 PM To: sinister@Majordomo.net Subject: Sinister: suck.com article (b&s content) Being bored here at work on a slow Friday, I decided to give www.suck.com a visit (it's not a porn site for those not in the know). Piqued by the curious title of today's article, "How to Judge a Man by His CD Collection," I decide to give it a read... Interestingly enough, the article has a list of some CDs and what to expect of the man you are dating if you find that particular CD in his collection. Anyway (yes, I'm going somewhere with this), the second CD listed is B&S's very own TBWTAS and the text for it follows (and this is obviously directed to the woman who finds said CD): Belle & Sebastian - The Boy with the Arab Strap Although the prospect of motherhood may appeal to you, you would probably prefer that your child be an infant and not a grown man who acts like one. Should you discover this CD in his collection, you'd be well advised to keep all your maternal instincts in check; otherwise you'll be spending the night coddling, mollifying, and sympathizing instead of cuddling, making out, and screwing. After a few seemingly endless hours of his incessant whining and irrational ranting, you'll wonder whether you shouldn't be charging him $75 an hour for any future dates. If it turns out that he's a professional music critic (and if he owns this CD he almost certainly is), odds are that he's a bed-wetter and probably allergic to sex. What's funny (not ha-ha funny) is this explanation wasn't (ha-ha) funny to me, but the other ones were (ok, not side-splittingly, uproariously, comedy of the summer-no-the-decade-no-the-century-no-the-millenium funny, but ha <cough> funny). Discuss. The article can be found here: http://www.suck.com/daily/99/07/02/ Oh, and if anybody else is really bored, read some of the articles on www.theonion.com (now THAT there's some funny shit, man). Ah, ain't the web great? and Happy Canada Day (a day late, I know) to all the canuck listees...
