Hello, I would like to start out by saying that apple butter is one of the most delicious substances on earth. I think it should count as a fruit! There are real apples in there, if you get the good stuff. The good stuff, as I've found, is in jars hawked by various organizations every year at the West Virginia state arts & crafts fair, which I unfortunately managed to forget about this year, and am therefore apple butterless, which is a terrible thing. Speaking of West Virginia, I went to a luau here (aka party with lots of booze and a vague Hawaiian theme) and so many people commented on my TWATTYBUS shirt! I had no idea they had managed to infiltrate the hollers and valleys and cricks of West Virginia so fully. Well, some of the luau-goers were from off in Virginia somewhere, so I guess they don't count, but one or two of those people I think were genuine West Virginians. To make things stranger our local entertainment newspaper reviewed the new album. I won't give the review to you all though because I'm sick of the things. After having been in a play version of The Wall (I did it because I liked the director/cast) and been the ass/judge at the end, I'd like to say that I can't stand most Pink Floyd. There are a few songs I enjoy though, but mostly only when sung by a chorus of teenagers in various harmonics. Getting to scream things at an audience is rather fun as well. Oh, and interestingly enough, my friend informed me that another name for an Arab Strap is a 'Scrunchy.' Not to be confused with the kind you use to keep your hair in a ponytail. Don't ask me how she knew that. Speaking of sexual perversion, I would like to take a moment to explain that when I said my life was children and zippers rather than strings and crescendos, I didn't necessarily mean children and zippers had to go hand in hand. I am not a member of NAMBLA! So, I'm going to take my leave, but before I go I'd like to leave you all with some words of wisdom. Those being: Always wear your B&S shirts. You never know who you might meet...but hopefully they will all be over the age of 18. -- Brian Pennington, aka Mick McMick | cellophanesky@mac.com | ICQ# 39021436 Sandcastle Records: <http://www.indiepages.com/sandcastle/> the Cellophane Sky:<http://home.earthlink.net/~cellophanesky/the/index.html> "Better a tear of truth than smiling lies." - Duncan Browne +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
