Sinister: The Penguin Book of Birds' Arses (Large Print Edition)
Foxes don't eat biscuits. They eat chickens. They rip their bastard heads off and spit feathers all over the tablecloth. Before the advent of Larry the Frog, Elenita99's best friend was a mobile phone with an endless stream of French loonies on the other end. Preston? I've heard the locals are a bit rough. I hope you're all being polite to these nice old ladies who man the ticket booths at provincial theatres. Don't forget, you are ambassadors for rock'n'roll. On the website, poor old Neil says stop writing to him asking when B&S are going to play in your town. I can sympathise - "When are you playing in Sidmouth? When are you playing in Sidmouth?" I'd like to go to the Royal Albert Hall. I'd like to go to Preston too. Beautiful Bournemouth. And all the other places. I'd like to do the whole tour. Has the tour got a name? The Guns'n'Roses tour is called "Chinese Democracy Starts Now" which suggests to me that they haven't really got over all their drug problems. Choo-Choo Charlie sounds like a particularly powerful strain of cocaine. Which reminds me, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG DAVE! I think it would be good if everyone met up before the Glasgow gigs in a pub, especially people who've come a long way. I understand there are some nice ones near the Barrowlands. Apparently there's a good one just opposite, really handy, called THE SARACEN'S HEAD. Why doesn't everyone meet up there?

the saracen's pub sounds scary: that whole area (Barrowlands) is scary... Ally 96 is organising something for the Saturday afternoon, probably in Kelvingrove Park, but you perhaps mean Friday? I mean Glasgow's full of cool bars... maybe you're after the Mcllvaney (?) experience like, hard men drinking establishments, rather than the gentile lounges of easy, such as, say, North Britain's own Groucho (St.Judes) What's this saracen place like? Mind you, I won't be there on Friday. mmm I wrote to larry too. The plastic dinosaur wasn't too amused to be referred to in this fashion. I know, I know; dinosaurs are British, not French and maybe American, but Spielberg is no Godard, or something. Does Ele have Isabelle Adjani's phone number? Gordon Peter Miller wrote:

Puppetmaster Peter is being a bit cruel here - I think the Saracen's Head is the most frightening pub in Glasgow - at least it used to be. It had a picture of a disembodied "moor" (no - not Chelmsford UK)'s head on the board outside, possibly dripping blood. My Dad pointed it out to me when I was about 6, saying proudly that he had been in it once. Maybe it is a theme pub now, but I will give ten quid to anyone who goes in, asks the clientele if they like Baroque music. Keith Watson would say "It is not that bad, really." Regarding Linus's post on Baroque - I mailed a gentle reminder to him (and it applies to others, I suppose) that 1400 people are reading his post, and it will be archived, and so this is a chance to say more than just "does anyone like?" . His follow up post said more and that was Good. I wanted to be an English teacher but I didn't get an honours degree. I don't think that anyone has mentioned that Mr Chris Leonard is supporting The Dudley Corporation, featuring Joss and Dudley of this parish at the 13th Note in Glasgow on June 2nd. http://www.thumped.com/dudley/ I had a dream last night that a group of neds chased me and Honey home, and it was very scary as they wouldn't leave. A huddle of sinisterines? A meander of sinisterines, a epiphany of sinisterines? Back to work.

This sounds like a fairy tale gone wild. Mr. Miller deserves a grant to further this project - Modern Fairy Tales or Folklore for Adults - or maybe the title was his subject heading. But, no doubt, some halfwitted critic will come along and accuse him of having flat characters, pursuing hackneyed plots, without seeing that the stories are meant to resonate, to bring up old ideas and enrich them. People have no sense of history, no understanding of archetypes and archaisms. What can you do?
often i look at the skyscrapers i can see from my roof or window at night and i imagine that the erratic patterns made by the lit-up windows are a kind of message. i see these buildings' illuminations as similar to the punch cards they used to program computers with ...and if i can figure it out (the coding) then what would i know? what if its just the buildings talking to eachother? knowing me i'd probably get in trouble for figuring it out. i should quit before i catch hell.
It was EC. He programmed the flow across the city's power grid to broadcast his song lyrics and guitar tabs. Haven't you noticed a pattern in the songs that you hum in the shower, on the city streets? He's taking over. Can someone do something about this? I think we need to work in some B & S in central Ohio. (Am I in central Ohio? Please don't ask me for directions - I'll take you to another city.) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
