Re: Sinister: Its A Sat At Home Day Saturday
WELCOME BACK BRAD Nice to hear from you again. Is this list still a f*cking nail? And whatever did that mean, anyway?
i've never used that expression and, furthermore, don't know what it means. it sounds like british slang to me and i am neither a) british or b) one of those americans who uses words like "shite" and "bollocks". i do mutter the occasional "cunt!" whenever someone cuts me in traffic or snatches the last cuban sandwich from the deli while i'm on my lunch break and all i've been thinking about all morning long is getting me a cuban on my lunch break...but those times are few and far between. here's how to spend a saturday b!r!a!d! style. first there some prerequisites though: 1) live in a town for seven months and don't learn your way around or the names of any streets 2) go out of town one day and blow all your money at record stores so you'll be really broke 3) have a car with a non-functioning air conditioner during a hot humid georgia summer's day when all these are met, do the following: 1) wake up and decide that since you're too broke to do anything that you're gonna try and find a library in your town because every town has a library right? 2) ask your roommate how to get to one and receive shoddy directions 3) drive around for an hour and wind up in crackville sweating and mad 4) come home and yell at your roommate for sending you to crackville doesn't he know you could've been shot? 5) get him to come with you to both show you the library and learn your way around town (finally) 6) wow...there's a warhol exhibit at the museum. let's go see it. 7) leave museum and find library 8) check out two out of print brautigan books that you can never find in any store and secretly make plans to never return them 9) get a hooker and a six pack of pabst and head home 10) piss hooker off cause all you really want is some company and would she please put her clothes back on, get drunk, and check your email only to realize that someone has either misquoted you or attributed a quote to you that you didn't make 11) mutter "cunt!" to your computer and hit reply 12) type i also don't use words like "git" or "sugar-coated toothpaste" -brad ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.

is there a publix in town? they should be able to set you up with a big cuban sandwich fresh off the griddle. (though it's too late at this point.....the chicken philly is great too) the hooker encounter reminds me of my time in london when an admittedly lovely and unskanky (or undodgy) young woman behind me asked "d'you want some company?" well, i'm thousands of miles from anyone i know and generally quite lonely anyway.....of course i do! but................ i *have* added some UK to my vocabulary, but i spend a lot of time on lists devoted to UK people, with UK people who i've spent time with *in* the UK, so it hardly seems forced. plus, words like the aforementioned "dodgy" or "knackered", say, are simply better and more succinct than anything else i can think of. still, one can forget one's audience and sound rather strange in other places (and it's much more polite here to mutter "bollocks" at my computer and the people i deal with at work than "this is bullshit!" :) ) jay, who's off to the bar for a bit because there's simply not much else to do, which seems to be the dominant situation today, and they have cheap newcastle on tap! (because it's.....you know......*good* beer....though i'm a big PBR fan too) "the window was open and the raindrops were bouncing on my head" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
