Sinister: i was feeling like a loser

[ian]

ian...learn to proof-read..

who is ravi 0shankar?  ravi's irish cousin perhaps... famous for his series
of 'sitar jigs'.
mine's a pint of guinness, with a twist of nirvana, barman.
not the band.  not any more.  and the pixies were better, anyway.

also, i didn't mention what i put the * after the carsmile-libel for.

i guess i'll just leave you to wonder.  or, more likely, to forget it.

>it was a rainy night in the late 60s, a little while before the split

>enjoyed doing.  paul was composing a ditty downstairs ("'tum tum te tum' or
>'tum te tum ta'?").  george was meditating with ravi 0shankar in the bath
>tub.  ringo was eating wagon wheels and playing with his train set.

>it had been a hard day in practice.  none of them were really on speaking
>terms, and yoko's presence hadn't helped.  it wasn't that they resented her
>creative input, it was that she kept pinching things from the studio.
>the beatles, ahead of their time, were very into recycling.  they had saved
>up all their milk bottles, and put them in a pile by the door, ready to
take
>to presto the next morning.  yoko, being an anarchist-troublemaker, decided
>they would look better for her art installation.

>after a day or so of tensions over the disappearing items, the beatles had
>refused to practice any more and had gone their separate ways.  yoko,
>meanwhile had continued to work on her art.  her new piece 'mother's milk'
>would be a feature at a posh new york gallery, as soon as she'd finished
it.
>it would feature 100 bottles, many of them smashed, some of them containing
>unpleasant substances.  the critics would either love it, or dismiss it,
>depending on who they were being paid by.
>
>it was paul who discovered the consequences of yoko's crime.  john and yoko
>were singing to each other about paper bags.  george was sitting in the
sink
>with the buddha.  ringo was eating bananas and stroking his beard when,
>suddenly, a scream echoed around the house...
>
>'oh no, i don't BELIEVE it.  YOKO ONO BROKE UP THE BOTTLES!'
>
>and it stuck.
>
>to this day, everyone blames yoko.  including paul, who never quite got
over
>the environmental consequences of her actions.

>well, don't you live and learn, eh?

>probably not.

>i'm too old to be spouting such shit, but still i spout it.

>i don't really mean that.
