well i was bored on my lunch break as usual and went to the jeepster chat room. for the first time mind you. i began talking to someone in the room and they asked me if i was a belle and sebastian fan and i of course said "oh yes, i'm quite sinister." and they said, "what do you mean?" so i said " it's a term used to describe b&s super-fans" they replied "i'm quite familiar with the term." so i asked, "are you on the sinister list?" they replied, "uh, ....no." so i said "oh you should be, it's a very nice warm close-knit community" and then the person said the kicker: "i've made a conscious decision NOT to join the list. we around here feel it's SO pubescent." pubescent. she actually used that word. i had no idea that there was beef between the jeepsters and the sinisters.......suddenly i felt like i was surrounded in enemy territory! i hid in the shadows and made a hasty exit while no one was looking...... so could someone please explain the history here? i'm intensely curious to know about this rift between the fans.......... long live the sinister nation! ta! caleb ben ===== And when I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me and if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie in the middle of the street and die I'd lie down and die ------morrissey __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
