Hello! Come in, Tea? Coffee? I've got some biscuits, if you like...beer? at this time? OK, why not. I don't post that often, I'm sure you can forgive me. I have been accused by someone who shall remain nameless(1) of only sending mail to sinister when I'm giving stuff away, and he's right - so here goes.... Cal's Crazy Caption Competition! I went to the Glasgow and London Picnics. I took photo's (oh, oh! ) But, having scanned them in and put them up on the web, I think it'd be fun to write "amusing" captions for said photos. But I'm crap and "unfunny". This is where you lot come in. Check out the photos on http://www.btinternet.com/~calumn and send me your wit and wisdom. Simple, huh? I'll stick your caption up above the picture, and credit the author(2). After a suitable amount of time (end of June should do it.), I'll declare a WINNER!, send them a grand (3) prize (2) and take them out for a drink when I see them(5) You don't need to have gone to the Picnics, you don't need to know the people in the photos (god knows, I don't know who some of them are!) - just be witty! Thanks, Calumn PS - Can I have a dose of whatever literary bug has infected pinefox? 15. Charts. Grate! Hope B&S mime terribly on TOTP - that'll draw the teeny-bop crowd ;-) oh, please remember to tell me which picture(s) your caption(s) is(are) for. cos' I might not get the joke. 1) gay, Glasgow, football, sings-like-a-girl and nail varnish should help 2) if you would rather remain "anonymous" to escape the wrath of your friends/flatmates, that can be arranged - just let me know 3) Grand (adj) of highest rank; magnificent; very good; very fine... not, like, a thousand pounds/dollars/whatever. sorry. 4) I'm not sure what the prize will be, but I've got an E N O R M O U S promo poster for the new album and a can of Chris "Beenz" Geddes, which is a start. I'll have blagged some more B&S related shenanigans by the time the competition's over. 5) This may be some time, depending where you live and all that, but I'll do it. see if I don't +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
