Hello Perty Lovely Sweet People! I'm so happy that I have made at least *some kind* of impression on you... because most seem to remember me!! Waaaa-hoooooooo!!! Bevy! Dan! Lavenda! .... and somebody else who remembers me but who I don't know...... li? Very lovely to read that you're all still here. After reading Nathan's email about HIAWG, I'm just humming...'a penissss... is a wa-arm gun... a penisssss is a waaa-arm gun'. Heh heh. One of my very favourite lines from this album is from New Age: 'Oh you little SICK little fucks!!' I just think it's so unexpected and awesome... I don't exactly know why it's in that song, but still, it just adds to the flavour. OH, yeah, MY WIN OF THE WEEK: walking into Chandlers last night and seeing a long SLG poster stuck under the counter, with the four cover pictures on it... asking if I could buy it from them... and they gave it to me!! Fekking awesome!! I was happy. Now I don't have to buy every single different-covered album, cause I've got a rooly cool poster with all the pictures on it. Happy once more.... la la la. love youse all, Holly ###############A PENIS... IS A WARM GUN....################# ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2001 23:06:33 -0700 (PDT) From: Dan Stapleton Subject: Re: [oztori] seeking suggestions and requesting recommendations... - --- Ben Hughes wrote: > but i am at a loss over what to spend it on. so, i > am calling on the > many wonderful people on this list and their varied > music tastes to > suggest what i should spend it on...
