Okay, so I've been on the list for... well, must be at least two days now, and still just getting into the vibe of it all. Nice and relaxed; I like that. And lots of rambling; I like that too. So I figured I'd ramble a bit myself, prompted by the following:- ---- Quoty Bit --- I noticed from the photo on the recent Jeepster mailout that Stewpot M is left handed...I'm sure this explains a lot. Such as ---- Other quoty bit ---

Why is Stuart M pretending to be left-handed? Does he want us all to think that he is in league with the DEVIL????

Hm...just guessing here. I don't remember much from my two years of Latin. Don't blame me, it was...uh I'd say over 6 years ago. Anyway, the latin word for left is Sinister, Sinistris. Raises some interesting ---- End of quoty bits --- I wondered about any left-handed connection myself, given that I'm very, very sinister, and a frequent poster to alt.lefthanders. Yes, the word comes from Latin (those Roman bastards were highly anti-sinister; you weren't even allowed to join their army if you were a lefty - and they invented the right-handed handshake, and fascist salute). Apart from that, I also can't remember much of my Latin, from 9 years ago (except some song lyrics I wrote which slipped into the dead tongue - "Caecilius in horto sedet//Et multo vino bibet//Et quarto canem videt...") but i do know that very few languages, regardless of their roots, have anything nice to say about lefties (e.g. French: "Gauche" meaning left, or awkward!). I'm even using left-handedness as the subject of my second novel (and yes, the first one failed to get published (though I didn't actually try very hard), so it's on my web pages if you want it, together with some short stories. End of plug). Whilst I'm rambling, a brief introduction: 25, male, stupidly long hair, good looking to wildebeest, hoping to go to London for the gig but waiting 'til a friend of mine returns from the states to see if she wants to go too, apart from her I know nobody round here (Bucks, UK) who's into B & S - and I'm not even sure about her (but her foot was definitely tapping when I blasted her with Me & The Major in the car) Enough for now; I'll write again sometime when I feel I've got something to say, but in the meantime I'll just disappear into the ethereal mists of some ethereally misty place. Ye gods! I'm more adept at rambling than I ever could have imagined! Xav ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
