Sinister: *avoids making a humourous reference of any sort*

[Mark Casarotto]

It's good to have enthusiasm back on the list.

First off, apologies to anyone I offended with my
being-bolshy-without-thinking last post. I apologised
to Paul off-list, I *explained* myself to Pais
off-list, but I'm sorry to y'all too. Long time
members may be aware this sin't the first time I've
gone a little over the top.

Having said that, y'know, this list has always had a
sense of humour. Please let's not turn into Bowlie ;)

Loads of exciting and marvellous posts lately - it
brings to mind the winter of '99 when our inboxes were
stuffed with 100 posts every day. Some of which were
from Peter Miller. I know it's a bit evil to just go
back over the past, and the people who weren't there
then will have glazed over a long time ago, but it's
hard to argue that Sinister hasn't been, well, dormant
for a while now. People move on, mostly the older,
more cynical types, who have trouble recognising the
honest youthful enthusiasm that makes up the body of
the posts (though as far as I can tell the last couple
of days have been a rekindling of the late-20s
massive, though sinces some of them are LADIES I
couldn't possibly list who I mean :)

I bought some new shoes. Red and white Puma Riberas. I
hope there are at least a few people out there nodding
and saying "hey, neat" at this news.

Tonight I will finally finish the book that delicious
(and full-of-flattery) Cheesybun Eric gave me as part
of the Xmas present exchange. And my hokey, if it
isn't the best book I have read in years and years!
"The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay", it's
called, and most of you will have read it already,
being literary types who keep up with new
publications, but if you haven't, sell some dodgy CDs
(perhaps your 2 spare copies of Fishyclap, not that I
would have 2 spare copies, um) and buy it this
instant.

On a similar tip, if there are any listees who got an
Xmas exchange present BUT DIDN'T THANK THE PERSON IT
CAME FROM, it's not too late, you know. *looks
pointedly westwards*

Phrase for today: "Isn't it, though?" I love that
phrase.

Rosy cheeks and snow-white trainers,
Markelby xxxx
