Salutations,

I feel awkward writing due to the recent influx of newuns coupled with the fact that I never became a Sinisterian for the purpose of posting.  Because of this, I really didn't care that I was still in the nursery, but then last week something happened that was truly postable, and then the whole nursery thing became bothersome.  Imagine my surprise when I receive my ticket to write the very day the keyboard DIES!!!!!  Talk about cosmic interference!  (At least I got to go out and bash the old one in true Luddite glory).  However, I digress...

For the past while, my only portal into the world of the LLPJ set of singles was one particularly bad and otherwise incomplete tape.  I finally bit the bullet and decided I needed the proper CD version so I doled out the money (cringe).  I can't imagine why I waited so long.  Very happy-making.  I also had to pick up a Godspeed album to replace the one I stole from my friend.  What this required was going to evil HMV as they were the only record store to carry these things at the time.  Needless to say it was a day of much expense.

I find my wares and as I walk through the store I see one of the little flappy things that says: 

ELLIOTT SMITH
Check this out only if you're into GOOD MUSIC

Naturally, I laughed out loud.  All of the kiddies in the neighbouring DANCE HITS area looked at me in scorn.  I didn't care.  One day they will have to read a VCR manual I proofread and WHO'LL BE LAUGHING THEN, EH?  A lowly stockboy turned around and asked why I was laughing, which I took to be rude at first.  I explained and then he said that sometimes the manager lets them puts phrases like that on the name cards.  He then looked at my purchases and said: "Whoa, you're really eclectic eh!"  I blushed.  Very shy-making.

To make a long story short, he offered to put something onto B&S's card out of the goodness of his heart.  I was excited.  I was about to say something about Narnia because he had a copy of the screwtape letters in his back pocket (not that i make a habit of looking in back pockets) but I held my tongue and thought the better of it as it did seem a bit contrived.  Then I blanked.  I had nothing to say.  I said I'd get back to him with a good name.

COMRADES!  WHat am I to do?  Unleash your well of wit and wisdom to help me categorize OUR category.

Pitifully yours
Marybeth

the first and (god willing) last post has FINALLY ended

P.S. Aside from Mr. and Mrs. Frye, who names their child Northrop?
