...which struck a cord with me I can say because it's the
weekend
here in Liverpool as well. The sun is shining and I'm indulging
in
my favourite past-time: shooting the shit with a load of
interesting
guys whilst drinking beer - in this case a case of Stella
Artois at a
very reasonable knockdown price of 69 pence a bottle...anyway I
was
moved by that reference to our Mon (and just what the hell are
you
going on about Kev?) to share the following with
you.............
Whilst in New York in October a "Time Out" special issue on Hot
Sex,
had an extract about a raid on a brothel in NY in the late 19th
century. The
reformer Anthony Comstock witnessed a woman "placing a cigar in
the
rectum of one of the girls who had thrown her limbs and feet
above her
head". Cigars obviously play a key role inAmerican
history.
Just goes to show, though, that our Mon was following a great
American tradition...
Just what is this list for, anyway?
Incidently *I* posted the info about Carter/Crimetime sometime
last
year (aboy Oct). check the digest. I even offered to copy it
and
send it out to anyone interested....
And on a final not our Paul (aka Kershed@aol.com) has written a
brill
artical on Brit Noir in the latest issue of Crimetime.
It proves beyond doubt that Brit Noir is where it's at. Not
that
namby panby stuff you get in the US. Good one Paul!
Right, pass that Havana Special........
