Sinister: Is it THAT Ahren???? (smut content: 4.7)

[Brier Random]

If this "Ahren" is the same Ahren who once worked at The Gap on High Road,
then read on:::  One time when I worked there with him, we were folding
flannels on the ladies' sale rack when he looked me straight in the eye,
licked his lips, grabbed my ass with one hand while the other one gestured
wildly in the air to emphasize his declaration that he wanted to "tickle my
pickle" and was only going out with his girlfriend (this was 1995) because
she "drives a convertible VW Rabbit", and that he hankered for boys like me,
and that, like the flannels we were folding, he'd always wanted to "try one
on for size."  I rebuffed him in no uncertain terms, and he stormed off in a
huff to belts & accessories, so I had to do the entire plaid section by
myself.
Just a word of warning.

AND::::  do you think B&S put four songs on all their singles on purpose, as
a kind of self-defeating gesture or a "sod the charts" attitude?  So they
can actually AVOID being chart-toppers?  Or is it so they can avoid the
possibility of seeing an elligible single not chart so well?  Naah, it's
probably because they come up with so many sheer masterpieces that they have
to stuff their singles or else they'd be releasing one every month.  Not a
bad idea, either, that.  C'mon, B&S.  How about a single with one B-side
every month?  Worked for the Smiths.  And you're better.

AND:::: People were talking about the Housemartins, and how B&S MUST be
fans.  It seems so.  Wasn't the Housemartins' "Now That's What I Call Quite
Good" played a full two times in Toronto as the faithful in-limbo masses
wondered whether there would be a show at all?  Then "Five Get Over Excited"
cuts ominously and wee Chris delivers the bad news.  I'm glad I wasn't
there; I could never hear that album again without having a terrible sense
of defeatist forbodeing and a case of the shakes.

AND:::: I had my TBWTAS CD stolen months ago, so I bought another, SO:::
does anyone in the US need the case w/booklet?  I've now two and don't want
to throw the extra away.  Only take me up on this if you are really missing
your original & have real need for it.

How does one get nominated for the Monday poem shenannigans?  What is the
criteria for the poem?

In my CD player:  Charles Bukowski, "King of Poets" (home recording, 1970)
In my tape player: Buckley V. Valeo  (my band)
In my heart:  Y'all
