Sinister: My god captain! He's de-lurking off the starboard bow...

[Mark Crutch]

Okay, so I've been on the list for... well, must be at least two days now,
and still just getting into the vibe of it all. Nice and relaxed; I like
that. And lots of rambling; I like that too. So I figured I'd ramble a bit
myself, prompted by the following:-

---- Quoty Bit ---
I noticed from the photo on the recent Jeepster mailout that Stewpot M
is left handed...I'm sure this explains a lot. Such as 

---- Other quoty bit ---

> Why is Stuart M pretending to be left-handed? Does he want us all to
> think that he is in league with the DEVIL???? 

	Hm...just guessing here. I don't remember much from my two years of
Latin. Don't blame me, it was...uh I'd say over 6 years ago. Anyway, the
latin word for left is Sinister, Sinistris. Raises some interesting

---- End of quoty bits ---

I wondered about any left-handed connection myself, given that I'm very,
very sinister, and a frequent poster to alt.lefthanders. Yes, the word
comes from Latin (those Roman bastards were highly anti-sinister; you
weren't even allowed to join their army if you were a lefty - and they
invented the right-handed handshake, and fascist salute).

Apart from that, I also can't remember much of my Latin, from 9 years ago
(except some song lyrics I wrote which slipped into the dead tongue -
"Caecilius in horto sedet//Et multo vino bibet//Et quarto canem videt...")
but i do know that very few languages, regardless of their roots, have
anything nice to say about lefties (e.g. French: "Gauche" meaning left, or
awkward!).

I'm even using left-handedness as the subject of my second novel (and yes,
the first one failed to get published (though I didn't actually try very
hard), so it's on my web pages if you want it, together with some short
stories. End of plug).

Whilst I'm rambling, a brief introduction: 25, male, stupidly long hair,
good looking to wildebeest, hoping to go to London for the gig but waiting
'til a friend of mine returns from the states to see if she wants to go
too, apart from her I know nobody round here (Bucks, UK) who's into B & S -
and I'm not even sure about her (but her foot was definitely tapping when I
blasted her with Me & The Major in the car)

Enough for now; I'll write again sometime when I feel I've got something to
say, but in the meantime I'll just disappear into the ethereal mists of
some ethereally misty place.

Ye gods! I'm more adept at rambling than I ever could have imagined!
