Sinister: the dirty word game

[Aruni J]

Another rainy Sunday draws to a close in the heart of Carolina. Easter--is 
that why the list has been so quiet of late? Easter affects me less than 
many other people since I'm a Buddhist and my school doesn't believe in days 
off. Nevertheless, there was one memorable year when Easter, Passover, and 
the Sinhalese New Year all fell on my birthday...'though that last probably 
doesn't affect any of you, either. Five points* to anyone who can figure out 
the year of the coincidence, and my birthday. (*cash value < 1/500 of 1 
cent)

I was talking yesterday to a fellow fan who was amused by the fact that B&S 
has a song entitled (My Girl's Got) Miraculous Technique. We proceeded to go 
through our albums, making salacious puns on song titles. Try it. I 
recommend it to you as a highly diverting activity. (and we didn't even 
start on _Storytelling_)

...which reminds me that I was playing the dirty word game with 20 high 
school students the other day (in health ed, people!). They had to come up 
with as many names for human private parts as possible, after which we 
taught them the proper names for those parts of the human anatomy. I know I 
haven't been 15 for several years, but wow. Slang changes. It's also a 
little scary that their extensive knowledge of, er, carnal matters is 
riddled with large gaps in understanding. Which is why we're teaching them, 
of course.

Toy Stephen mentioned wanting to meet sinisterines in the flesh. (er...) 
Ditto here. Stop by for rice and curry if you're in the area. Don't 
worry--I'm not as bad a cook as my mother thinks I am.
