Sinister: You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think
Another one bites the dust Yes, my youngest brother has now nupped the nuptials. Im just hoping that his wife will start popping out the kiddies like an easy bake oven so that my parents will be so neck high in grandchildren that theyll forget all about me being single. Right now, I cant go anywhere without my mom stating her hopes that Ill meet someone there. Its highly disconcerting to see her grow so enthusiastic when I get sick & have to go to a doctor. Unfortunately, I didnt get to go to my brothers wedding or on my planned road trip. No, I had to stay here and work. At least I'll be able to attend the reception here. I get to be the punch girl. Of course, I was disappointed to hear that I would be serving it instead of throwing them (punches that is). Oh well. I just can't wait till May when all the wedding silliness is over. You just don't know how disturbing it is to have random people say to you "Your brother must be the one I saw in the newspaper who just got married. You look just like him." And I have no clue who these people are. Aren't they suppose to be concentrated on the couple so I can slip into the background? I had hoped that since I was here I would at least get to go to some of the shows here but Noooo. I had to work during those too. Dont worry, Im not going to whine. No sir, Im going to take it like a real girl ... and pout. I hope my face doesnt freeze this way though because the tinsel might make my tongue tingle when the school children decide to decorate my bottom lip for Christmas. I want to thank everyone who gave their summations of the ATP events. Now, I realize it is OK if I miss out on all of these shows and picnics because I can gleam all of the good parts from other peoples posts (OPP. Yeah you know me). Oh, I noticed how yall were trying to tantalize us all with de-tales of Stuarts brawny bruteness as he strutted around shirtless. But really I cant be shocked anymore. Well, unless an electrical outlet and paperclips are involved. Anyway, the Cliff Notes of the ATP read very nicely and included all of the important aspects... We had the 1. Setting: Someplace where I was not. 2. Plot: From what I could tell there did not seem to be one. MMM, sounds like the makings of a movie blockbuster to me. 3. The Main Characters: The Protagonist: Stu M who was the tall, dark, and handsome football hero. (Well, relatively - hes taller than a pygamy but not as dark as one. I dont think he was so much a hero as he was just shirtless.) Then there was Trousers who doesnt really remember the weekend except for harassing members of numerous bands to pose in llewd ways with the most recent edition of Papercuts. Evidently, you can get on the cover for certain sexual favors.. hehe. Stevie prefers Anita Loos. Gentleman prefer blondes. And I prefer Trompe Le Monde. What that means - I do not know. Miss Scarlett who sat with her sunglasses on her head critiquing members of various bands fashion sense. With a recent investment of a cattle prod, she was able to escape the whole weekend without being mobbed by her groupees. Of course, David Moore was clad in fatigues and spent most of the time feeling empathy toward Stuart David by being Up A Tree yelling Swarm! Swarm! whenever he spotted Stu M selling merchandise. There were Mike, Stuart Shennanigan, Allastares, PF, and other shady characters who were milling about. They just seemed like the mindless happy masses. However, they were mentally taking notes on everything so they could warp into some witty antidote to use in their posts to Sinister. And then there was Lucy Alder. Ok she wasnt actually there but winning prizes for erotic dancing on a train. She will lead you to believe that she decided to go to Italy on vacation. However, I can safely say without any hints of libel, exaggeration, or jest that she was turned away for being neck up to her bliss to the "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Ignorance of Dr. Seuss will get you no where.. except for Italy. What did Italy ever produce...besides Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance? D. We also had Villains: NME, Sonic Youth (whose sound apparently didnt have the refined quality of that of a Sonic Boom), and some other bands of questionable quality. 5. Ironic Situations: Well, this depends on whether youre using Websters or Atlantis Morrisettes definition. How anyone could classify any of those situations as anything but just plain bad luck is beyond me. Of course, you never can tell what kids will buy these days, especially with that one hand in their pocket doing who knows what. 6. And an Important question: Doth Stu M bleed when he ith pricked? Was Answered: Yeth And on twat note I wilt leave. love & bruised elbows, Laura 'meeting all your Laura Llew needs since 1977' PS-- By the way, I just wanted to say that it is a picture of Dorothy Parker under my name on the picture page. I wanted it to be nice and subtle with just the Parker quote as a hint. Of course, I wouldnt know subtlety if it did a strip tease, rolled around in red paint, and then kicked in a chorus line fashion while singing Subtlety is here again in a Tiny Tim falsetto. If you want a picture of me you'll have to ask Eran. Not that he is privy to any of me but I have a feeling that if anyone could make it sound as if there were Laura Llew fantasy pinups floating around that Eran is the one who could make a signed "Love LL" glossy all the rage. PPS- Thanks out to Richard Pushong who made me believe that there *is* a Santa Claus. (And he likes the pixies!!! & chocolate) *****Laura Llews List Member of The Week***** This is for the clever listerine who sports my favorite web page. I especially like their on-line diary which is definitely the most interesting one that Ive ever read. The entries are short, funny, and quite poetic. This person is & their website is none other than Ted Whalen at http://introvert.net/tew/ (March 13 & 14th are 2 of my favorite entries) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
