FORMERLY THE ALICE COOPER ALLEGEDLY.

"Aah the sheep guy".

Please note that with immediate effect the Alice Cooper Allegedly is no more.... 10 plus years in the making we no longer have anything worth publishing on the internet. The man who cried sheep has decided to park this page with links to the various stains we have left out in the ether.

Its been an enjoyable decade on the interweb but all things it seems must come to an end. It would be wrong to say that our internet presence has garned strong support amongst the Sickthing faithful. Members of Alice Cooper's close entourage have frequently sought clarification of our ovine predilection and the phenomenum of ovination. We've even been accused of advocating bestiality and having a detrimental effect on the public persona of a group of artistes we hold dear.

Consider the evidence...

1997
The fledgling Alice Cooper Allegedly Confessional first threw back its crushed loganberry curtains, plumped up its motheaten Chesterfield and opened for business. The compendium of confessions received, at the time, didn't augur well.

1998 - 2000
Operation Ovination hatched. Symphony. Tour De Cymru.

2001
We foolishly, it turned out, raised our profile on Mr Cooper's tourbus when there was an uncomfortable silence as Mr Cooper demanded to know incredulously "Are we making those T shirts now ?" as he surveyed in horror what was our second variant of the Alice Cooper Allegedly Ovination T shirt.

Lost in America. Suggestion of moral turpitude stateside. Could being a sickthing, sheep worshipper be construed as moral turpitude ? Should I have declared my strange proclivities ? Common sense prevailed at the time and after another slug of diet coke I ticked no.

2002
SickCon1. Crewe encounters with Messrs Bruce, Smith, Dunaway & Bouchard only helped to perpetuate the now viral nature of ovination.

Sickbus. We became increasingly aware that members of the Cooper entourage went out of their way to avoid our representatives. Mr Dover's cry of "Oh no its the sickest of Sickthings" didn't go unnoticed. The relationship soured too following the brutal slaying of our prime clone, the lovely and unique Dolly, at the hands of the Master in Bournemouth.

Accused Alice Cooper of murder at Sheffield. He rebuffs, "I didn't understand the significance of the sheep until after that show when Pete (Freisen) told me a particularly disturbing story about a sheep on the edge of a cliff - you're sick ". Harsh words but strangely acceptable coming from the king of shock rock.

2003 - 2005
Tales from the sheepshed premiere. Guilfested. Blogsville, Arizona. Baile Átha Cliath. Covert Ovine Films' born. Nous sommes à Paris. Big in Bibble. Truly an international phenomenum. The Caring Professions surface.

2006
Our Covert Ovine Films arm comes under attack. Our little known film noir "Alice Cooper : Bowling For Milton Keynes 2006" was pulled by YouTube with a third party, Nightmare Inc, claiming copyright infringement. Our legal counsel advised an abrupt cessation of filming activities and Covert Ovine Films was forced underground. Invaded myspace, picasaweb, flickr and esnips.
Mr Cooper continued to become increasingly wary of us uttering, sotto voce, "Aah the sheep guy" at the Celtic Manor Golf Tourney. Both this wife and son too seemed dumbstruck that someone with a stuffed ovine facsimilie representation affixed to his golfhat should be allowed to fraternise so closely with them.

2007
"Nights with Alice Cooper" broadcasts an anti ovination message as this recording clearly shows. Such was our presence in the psyche of the DJ extraordinaire.

The Multifariously Paradigm (Plastic Variant) published.

Accusations of low IQ, unnecessary use of internet bandwidth and hostility to the fans hit hard at Int Top Field Headquarters. And now we are in receipt of a Cease & Desist Letter from America the contents of which we are not allowed, during the current legal exchange, to detail. Suffice it to say our days were numbered on the internet.

Psycho- Drama. A further run in with Mr Cooper in Brighton. It was with a certain degree of aplomb that said artiste managed to kick a metal dagger over his on-stage monitor sending it careering in one's direction. Was that a look of horror or huge disappointment that crossed the performer's visage as said dirk crashed into the protective barrier behind which we blenched ? Backstage retributions were diffused as Mr Cooper once again quailed as our Allegedly Ovination T shirt hoved into view. "I see that shirt most nights down the front" he was heard to splutter. We were secretly chuffed that Alice Cooper was now seeing us nightly, such was the firmness with which we were now planted in his pneuma. The Sheep Guy was seen leaving shortly afterwards with his doctorial robes suitably inscribed.... Our work is done.

2008
Its been a blast.... Time to don the plain black T shirt and put the doctor's coat (duly signed) away.....

UPDATE - We know we're weak. Just for the record. What do we call this site now Alice ?
