Not enough there to verify the true identity of bH- "The Howard Hughes of the 90's" Notice the emoticon (the little smiley face at the end of the post above) Not the usual one.

Deputies stopped (him) as he allegedly tried to climb over a security gate where she works." I submit to you repair-persons: It was 'Ol Dirty Bastard (himself a list member) who either: 1) Climbed through bH's window and used her computer to send that message OR: 2) Used a false mailer Beware the ODB! -Rob - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@smoe.org with 'unsub scribe small-repairs' in the message body.

Curses!! My devious and sublimely fiendish plot to undermine the authority and credibility of "the one" and sieze control of s-r has failed... the prodigal daughter hath returned! Or has she? Will the true identity of the mystery poster claiming to be bH ever truly be known? Was it "the one" herself? Or was it ODB as the Remarkable Rob so astutely surmised? And dont think i'll forget in a hurry those of you who stayed true and faithfully supported your vanished leader, thereby thwarting my grab for power. Kats never forget....

OK... Tori, and anyone else who has no idea whats going on and is getting scared and starting to believe everything they've ever been told about people they meet on the internet, PLUS anyone who was actually there at the time but was not paying attention or has a short memory span or who just want to relive the fun of it all - here's this year's Small Repairs story so far, in a nutshell (if you dont fall into any of those categories, better stop here or you'll just be annoyed with me at the end and nobody wants that): - - Shawn surprised us all early in the year by not wasting any time since getting hitched last October and announcing she was pregnant - much discussion ensued as to whether she would be in a fit state to still attend the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado in June which some of us had eagerly bought tickets for - turned out she wasn't. But we're over that now. Really. ;) Even those of us who flew halfway round the world to be there. (I'm a sydney-sider tori - just a mere stone's throw from you but a bloody long way from colorado) - - Shawn didnt surprise any of us at all when she kicked ass at this year's Grammys in February, winning for Record of the Year and Song of the Year for.. you guessed it.. Sunny Came Home - the song that led to the expression "sunny fans" to describe new recruits to Shawn's fandom. Not that we dont love all shawn fans, cos we do, really. So dont anyone flame me if you think you're a sunny fan and think i don't like you - not true :) - - ODB aka Ol' Dirty Bastard from Wu Tang Clan (altho if you can pronounce it so its understandable then you're clearly not a true fan of the band) surprised everyone when he stole Shawn's moment of glory at the Grammys by jumping on stage as she was about to accept her shiny golden thing, grabbing a microphone and having a good old gripe about not winning an award earlier in the evening, cos he'd gone and bought new clothes for the occasion and everything and the world was just a really unfair place and we all sucked. Or words to that effect. - - None of us were surprised but many of us laughed out loud when the youngest Hanson dropped his drumstick quite vigorously while performing at the Grammys. (whoops, sorry, NSC that one) - - No one was surprised to hear throughtout the following months that ODB kept getting himself arrested for interuppting decent hardworking musicians while accepting awards. Oh, and some other things.. I dunno, assault, drug charges, something, whatever. - - Some were surprised and some weren't when we then went thru a post-Grammy celebratory stage and came up with all kinds of wonderful rumours to keep ourselves amused, such as the now classic "Shawn's going to star in a new sitcom" rumor. I personally advocate that we revive that rumour just for the hell of it and cos it was so much fun the first time. - - We then discovered that Shawn was expecting a girl (no one was really surprised - we'd guessed it was either that or a boy) so we all diligently put our minds to second-guessing what Shawn and Mario would name the youngster when she came into the world. Which wasn't easy coming so hard on the heels of the "do we or dont we actually know what Shawn's middle name is, since we know it starts with L" debate, which coincidentally led to the "names we give our cars" discussion (my fault that one, sorry people). Shawn contributed by joking at some shows that she was considering naming the baby Caledonia. No one really believed her and everyone at the shows laughed appreciatively at her sense of humor. - - Subsequently, we were all surprised in late July when Shawn gave birth to a bouncing baby girl (actually, the bouncing part is unconfirmed) and named her Caledonia Marie ("because Marie goes with everything"). - - We were even more surprised to discover a short time later that the baby's full name was Caledonia-Jean Marie. Why is that important you may ask. Well, we feel it is significant in that the true name of the "the one" and only BigHAIR, aka she who rules in this part of town (at least for now), is also.. wait for it... JEAN. Coincidence? We think not. Shawn is a wise woman who knows who her allies are and is not about piss them off by not naming her firstborn after them. - - I was then surprised to learn that Neil Finn had been deemed ineligible for the ARIAs (australian music awards) since he is strictly speaking a kiwi and no longer has the aussie members of crowded house to help him count as a semi-australian. No one else was surprised however, when I turned that fact into a full blown debate on whether or not we could still claim Neil as our own anyway, just cos we like him and we want to. Fortunately at the time there was no one from the Land of the Long White Cloud present and willing to take me on in full force (but really, we're happy to have you here Tori...heheh) - - We're currently entering the "Shawn has a new album out and why have so few people had anything to say about it, thats not like us" phase of the list.... my theory is that we all talked about it so much when the idea first came to light that theres nothing left to say now that we've heard it. Although that is somewhat surprising. Well, i havent heard it yet actually, and thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it. And I'm only mildly surprised that i havent heard it yet, cos i'm broke after spending all my money going to Telluride to (not) see Shawn. So thats pretty much it for this year... ok, so it was a large-ish nutshell and even then i probably missed lots of memorable moments that everyone else can jump up and down about and add to the story as they see fit. Now if you want to talk about *last* year, we find that the painting stalker guy story is always a fabulous ice-breaker.... So did that help? I think from that point, the rest, as they say, is... damn... whats that expression again? kat - HSASRH (honorary self appointed small-repairs historian) :) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@smoe.org with 'unsub scribe small-repairs' in the message body.
