is the name of my new minizine, birthed today. Want to write for it? About anything. At any length.

I'd be delighted. I have to write something for a research group anyway, if you like it it's yours.

Please, may I submit my tour de force entitled "the frank and walters and me"?

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 24 April 2003 17:58 (twenty-two years ago)

or I could just draw a picture.

I don't like the pope, the pope doesn't smoke dope.

The title is too good to sully with my writing

I will crush my impluse to ask stupid questions like "Is 'goalkeeper' a euphemism for 'bottom'" and congratulate you on your minizine.

I thought it was Jesus that did the saving in God FC?

The song said JC played left back for palestine.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 25 April 2003 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll write something for it if you like.

(did you receive my tape BTW)

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 25 April 2003 10:16 (twenty-two years ago)

give us a deadline for submission etc.

In other news, Catholicism was beaten 1-0 by Hindu Wanderers, with the nippy centre-forward Krishna scoring the winner after going right through the Holy Ghost in defence.

Or I could write something like "I wasn't drunk, but I coulda sworn that Izzy Stradlin was riding a bicycle down the Uxbridge Road".

I'm not surprised re the Pope. Goalkeepers are also completely indiscriminate about blaming who/whatever's convenient whenever everything goes pear-shaped. They also notoriously see themselves as the centre of their own universe. They also have their own set of rules.

can i submit a poem please ? I really would like to.

The Pope was a goalkeeper. Very good on crosses.

Jesus Saves, Lineker scores on the rebound.

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 25 April 2003 22:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Of course, Albert Camus was a goalkeeper as well. Truth is Stranger than fiction.

And David Icke as well!

12 ft lizards are, of course, brilliant at getting on the end of crosses.

Other celebrity former-goalkeepers include Julio Iglesias.

yes, it was for Real Madrid wasn't it? I believe he only played a couple of matches and then was injured so had to quit.

the Pope looked very like John Cleese in his younger days. Fall foul of this in a pub quiz picture round.
