Did you know what the world's most genius invention is? Holiday pay! Thanks to months of *cough* some hard working I have earned 6 days worth of holiday, so with a stroke of a genius (never you mind who I stroked) I have combined that with the 3 days of Bank Holidays and weekends around Christmas time to give myself a grand, 13 day break. If I were a potty-mouthed man, I would have said "Fuckin' yeah!", but I am in fact a very civilised man, and dare I say quite sexy, so I won't. Does anyone know what is a good thing to do around Christmas time? No? I do! BOWLING This is what you should do around Christmas time, imagine the fun time to be had, you and all your friends going bowling, throwing a ball through 60 feet of well oiled pine (well plastic), having a laugh as your friend sends another ball into gutter oblivion whilst looking like a giraffe, or elephant, or even kangaroo. The hours of pun fun chanting "Keep Bowlin'Bowlin'Bowlin'Bowlin'Bowlin' ush!" a la Limp Bizkit, or "dun! dun! dun! another one bites the dust!" as someone knocks down a pin, or, more likely, as someone falls flat onto the floor. (Hi Jeremy ;-)). As Stuart Murdoch himself once sang: "Oh no the snow stopped snowing, maybe we'll get some bowling and drinking in, and looooking at the sky" So, how about it? SINISTER BOWLING DAY Sinisters gather to go bowling and drinking! Got the Christmas blues? Hurl it away down the lane and knock those pins down well and true! Got the Christmas joy? Then there's no reason to be coy! HERE'S THE SCIENCE BIT, CONCENTRATE You should all come. Anyone near the London area who wants to spend an afternoon of ten-pin heaven then an evening down the pub with me (who doesn't?), drop me a line! The day Saturday 29th December stands out as a great day for it, because: 1) It's in between Christmas and New Year, so there's nothing else to do. 2) It's in between Christmas and New Year, so telly will be rubbish! 3) It's near Christmas, so it would be quite so very festive to get a "Turkey" (three strikes in a row). Those who don't live around London, should organise your OWN bowling meetups, THEN, we can all be Reporting Back on the regional hi-scores to reveal the Sinister Bowling Champion 2001! Have I in fact just invented something better than holiday pay? No, but it's still pretty good. Get those bowling shoes ready hipsters! See you on the 29th! Bowling Shoes and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: Those who followed the thread months ago about Stealing Bowling Shoes can participate in another regional competiton of "Who can steal the most pairs of shoes" as well. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
