Which has inspired me to write my first post to Sinister!

**warning: all those with an aversion to parochial school and/or early 90s 
big-hair pop metal bands may want to exit immediately...this could get ugly.

As I was saying...back during my innocent youth I spent one rather disturbing 
semester at an all-girls catholic school. A place where you were not allowed 
to wear earrings larger than a quarter, or else you would have a few nuns on 
your back. During this semester, a local radio station sponsored a contest in 
which high school students were encouraged to fill out index cards with some 
slogan of the radio station (can't recall what exactly, something to the 
effect of "Live 98.5 - it's great!"). The school that had the most cards 
filled out, per student, and turned into the station by a certain day won the 
ultimate in prizes: the band Nelson would come and play a concert at their 
school! Please don't tell me that I am the only one who has been scarred by 
the memory of those two blonde-headed young sons of...um..Ricky Nelson? 
Tortured by their smash hit "Love and Affection"??

Well, I couldn't really support the efforts of the many young girls who were 
swooning at the thought of meeting Nelson, as the environmental effects of 
all those wasted index cards was too much for me to bear. But even without my 
support, my school actually won this contest! Sadly, the concert didn't take 
place until the following semester and I had already escaped to a galaxy far 
far away by then.

Regarding the village: I would like to manage a brothel/stock brokerage. With 
the inspiration of someone's recent suggestion of selling the Sinister list 
to the highest bidder, I would like to take this one step further and sell 
stock in Sinister. With the tremendous economy and high value of Sinister, I 
will assure that no one will ever have to do any real work! And of course, 
the brothel will be an equal opportunity employer (now accepting 
applications).

And that...is certainly enough for one night...take care all.
