oooh.....thanks for the laugh returned, you kool daddyo Mark C., it makes it all worthwhile.....my personal favorite bit that i made up (yes i'm sad and sorry, i make myself laugh) was either "Knees of Sex not available in TX, UT, or Delawaare" or "Banned for Vulgarity in the Czech Republic!!" and i am pretty proud of myself for making stuart m and Sarah look so cute, and for making stuart david look remotely recognizable. *************** just thought i'd better post and tell you all that the scumbags at the aforementioned magazine have a rather large centre page spread of Belle & Sebastian in this weeks (cover date 12th December) issue. They're trying to palm it off as an interview, however it's just a collabaoration of old articles etc. oh, and they've put Stuart M and Isobel on the front cover. without asking the band. but i'm not annoyed, really. ************* AAAAAAAAHHHHH *jumps up and down, throws down lollipop in fit of anger* iwanna iwanna iwanna!!! no really, stu and isobel would NEVer be on the cover of a big time magazine here,i'm so jealous of you brits and all your snazzy belle and sebastian articles, i'll pay someone for a copy of that, really i will......... something i received last week in my inbox: *** Wow. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but you really need a good shag. ****<endquote> i wont' embarrass the scraggly rake what sent it, but it's all in fun really, at least he knew what he was getting into, haha. it's just to prove that if there's one thing a red-blooded, manly male can't resist, it's the temptation to "convert the lesbian". an urge so primal, so imbedded in our genes and linked to the reflex of the ancestral vagus nerve, that it's been observed in creatures such as the lion tamarin, our cousin the bonobo, and even the blue-footed booby. Actually, the bloke was right, i must *sigh* admit, but i'll probably remain in need for some time as the individual i'd probably request a shag with would be totally and utterly unavailable. i'm not THAT desperate! lyric related q's: in IKWTSG(!!try that on for size you anagram-mad fools!!), stuart writes of putting your head down, and your thumbs up, and the smell of hot desk. is it just me or is he talking about playing Seven-up?? i didn't know they had Seven-up in britain. does anyone konw what i'm talking about? or is it common knowledge. that game was so frightening and thrilling in a way, it was alwyas a way to pick on the peoplle you most fancied, without really being found out if you wanted. i was so good at it, i could cop a poker face like no one alive, i hardly ever got guessed. of course i hardly ever got picked, c'est la vie. i saw a news program that had a view from a school room, the little kids and the desks and the teacher in front, and i was almost nostalgic to enter that world again, to study it and the relationships of the strange children, and the whole world that it becomes in itself, a microcosm. i dotn' know why i would feel that way cos when i was in school i hated it and myself with an equal measure of acid disgust. so instead of thinking about it i'll probably just go and listen to "expectations" again, it's all the intrigue without the blunt trauma and suicidal urges. in my gullet: pepperidge farms Chessmen cookies in the cracks between the keys of my keyboard: crumbs from pepperidge farms chessmen cookies lesleyjo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
