Hey Sinister, My thanks to the benevolent soul who posted that link to the onion page... Oh, how i laughed... During my halcyon days at art school (a whole ten months ago), I had the Funniest Cartoon in the World Ever pinned to my wall. It was from some godawful teen magazine - possibly J17, or More, or Sugar, or whatever young people read these days, who knows, and it had been drawn by a self-confessed art boy from the magazine's art department. He had the art boy circa 1998 down to a t: NHS glasses, the haircut that looked like it had been executed by a mental patient (I knew someone at college who once told me that this was teh very look he was aiming for), the bodywarmer, the record bag containing everything but records... and each item had a humorous caption. I can only remember two: "Flared corduroy trousers, to enhance the art-boy's snake-hipped silhouette and camouflage fat ankles". and "Trainers, worn in the retro-futuristic style. Handy for quick escapes from 'situations' with fellow art boy mobs". Tragically, I lost the cartoon when I moved house. A tape of Lou Barlow songs for anyone who can send me a copy... love as always Sophia X PS Last night, at 3:30 in the morning, a friend and I emerged from a bar to find maybe 50 people, all dressed like the Strokes, dancing to soul music on a car stereo. I think Melbourne may be hipper than I had previously suspected. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
