Sinister, Hi Sinister. I'm writing to you. Have you ever returned to somewhere familiar and found it not as spectacular as it used to be? Example: as a kid my family and I used to frequent a mexican restaurant called "Casa Bonita". This wasn't your norm of standard buritto & taco joints, mind you--it was like going on a mini-excursion to Mexico. Cliff-divers, mariachi bands, arcades, clowns; amusements at your every turn, fun practically bursting out the seams. It was nearly an all-day event to eat at Casa Bonita in those days. Zoom back to me--twenty years old and my friends and I decide to re-enact my nostalgia and return to the Casa. Immediately the place seems like a restaurant where the employees ejaculate into the refried beans. The employees seem livid: pit-stained, a waterfall of grease coating their faces. All the workers have a faint line of brown fuzz staining their upper lips, even our waitress. Shortly after consuming my cheese enchiladas I feel Montezuma's revenge plaguing my bowels. My conclusion: everything was better before, so go ahead and claim that now before before even comes about. I was better before. So were you. My favorite thing EVER is this: When characters in movies actually exclaim the word "YAY!" with glee, enunciating the word with great precision. My friend just made a list of her favorite things. It went like this: 1. that damn butterfly 2. mandee 3. 5:00 shadows 4. cassingles 5. soccer balls 6. baseball bat 7. acne 8. motivational speakers 9. switching banks 10. pleated skirts 11. clowns 12. twins 13. midgets 14. sexy orgasm noises 15. FOIL 16. Betty White naked 17. cosby sweaters 18. drumsticks Makes me so happy to see that I'm number 2, along with such other contestants as acne and Betty White posing naked. B&S content: I'm listening to Tigermilk as I write this.
