Sinister: i was building a space rocket

hello everybody

i would like to start by saying that sarah cracknell has misled you all.  i
am not maltreating her and can only assume she says i am in order to gain
attention.  this morning i cooked her a lovely veggie breakfast and gave it
to her while i fed my pussycats a lovely bowl of felix.  she didn't
appreciate it one bit.  just sat and screamed something about being behind
the wheel of a capri.

anyway, tonight i'm performing as sarah c again.  bob and pete have become
close friends and are treating me almost as one of their own.  which i
suppose, to all intents and purposes, i am.  i have almost perfected the hip
shake although i'm still having some trouble getting the arm-waving correct.

jessica, it was nice to see you.  of course i waved at you.  i LOVE my
fans!!!

anyway, onto a bit of b&s content:

i think the noise at the end of "you made me forget my dreams" is the launch
of the space rocket that the boy had spent all his time building.  otherwise
it just seems kind of..misplaced.

on the llpj thread...and related to a misheard lyrics thread from a while
back ("green cool and natural on the 45"...love it :))
i couldn't understand why she was licking railings.  i asked my friend sam
and she laughed at me.  she told me the lyric was actually "licking
raylene".  which made a bit more sense.  however, on watching stu's lips at
bowlie, it is definitely railings.  a shame, i prefered raylene.  i think
she was just licking railings because she was bored.
jane strikes me as just a bored girl, all the time trying to find some
interest in the life around her but in the end the only thing to do is fall
asleep at the bus stop.

also...my friend dean thinks jane is pregnant, and the "you will have a boy
tonight/  you will have a girl tonight" part of the song refers to her
giving birth on the bus.  a pleasant image and a good twist to the song even
if it turns out to be totally incorrect.

now onto other stuff...jake said

~Don't know about those, but my friend works on a phonesexline, and I must
~say, the things she has to do via phone are quite... strange. Like clapping
~your hands for 30 min because it sounds dirty like she had to do a couple
of
~days ago

i never understood that one.  call me innocent :) (you'd be wrong, but call
me innocent anyway.  it alliterates with my name at least).
talking of strange requests....my friend works in a copying shop and the
other day someone came in and asked her to photocopy her donated kidney

~and ummm,
~okay i give up, just what in god's awful name is an arab strap?

well...have you ever heard of a cock ring?  they are (so i'm told) placed
around the penis and the base of the testicles...oh i sound like a biology
teacher.
you get it and you put it round your..erm, yeah, that, and also round the
bottom of your..er..yeah, those.  and it should keep the little fella up
that little bit longer after you've had your fun.
never met anybody that claims to have used one though.

that's the same thing as an arab strap.

~I met my boyfriend through the Sinister list.  I do recall in
~#sinister recently, someone asking if it were a chatroom for Belle and
~Sebastian or gay boys.  I believe the answer from a few of us was that it
~was both.

well, i'm impresssed by the number of people that responded to what i said.
i didn't actually mean "you'll have difficulty finding a gay bloke that's
into b&s".  i just meant "good luck with finding one".  i have managed to
convert my bloke to b&s.  i didn't realise this fact until a couple of weeks
ago when he admitted he listened to them quite a lot when i wasn't in.
certainly the gender confusion in the songs appeals to me.  unfortunately, i
don't see them catching on on the gay "scene", which...well, you don't need
me to tell you what gets played.  but i'm going out tonight and expecting to
hear celine dion at least twice.  and probably be pissed enough to dance.

other random things that come into my head..a slap for the person who
slagged off jefferson airplane...remember what the doormouse said.  a slap
for the person who doesn't like hermann hesse.  how dare you have your own
opinion?  a kiss for the person who was talking about grace jones, just
because.

cheese..roulade is the stuff with garlic in.  i like white stilton with
apricots, and norwegian cheese.  jarlsberg is wonderful stuff.

juniper, if you're reading...i shall look for your book recommendation.  it
sounds interesting.

erm...there was more but its gone.

so i'll follow its lead

ohh...there's egg in the cat's bowl.  i wonder if i gave them the veggie
breakfast and gave sarah c the felix?  she appears to have eaten it, either
way.
