I have never had a thread play music at me. I didn't even know they could do that. Do you guys do this all the time on ANDSFBAPB?

I would be curious to know his thoughts on the result of the 2004 presidential election.

My vote goes to the California Electoral College which voted for John Kerry. The rest is beyond my control

I had coffee with teh gygax yesterday. we met at amoeba and I bought nashville (CD and DVD) and I forget what he bought, then we went to borders and drank coffee and chatted. li'l else.-- Remy (jcoomb...), November 4th, 2004 7:32 PM. (x Jeremy)

I miss Jeremy. He is nice and funny. i got 3 Jia-Zhang Ke DVDs and that David Lynch boxset from the UK.

Does gygax! like that song "Hit The Plane Down" or is he willing to admit that it is a shit song?

-- Ian John50n (dr.carl.saga...), November 5th, 2004 9:36 AM. (orion) (admin)

He will say "that song belongs in another time, in another place."

-- Dan Quisenberry (power.strik...), November 5th, 2004 9:37 AM. (deangulberry) (admin)

I hate most Spiral Songs, esp. the later ones. The only redeeming factor of that song is the Happy Mondays reference.

Manning "looked totally dejected and had a puss on his face of 'Don't bother me,' " a spy reports. Peyton drank Coronas and his wife, Ashley, sipped margaritas. "Everyone knew who he was, including the Mexican waitstaff . . . He kept telling the waiters, 'This week I am known as Javier Lopez.' "

gaygaz!, what does it mean "I am known as Javier Lopez"?

wow, interesting queries!!! i think i can best answer both thusly:

Frederick Douglass was one of the foremost leaders of the abolitionist movement, which fought to end slavery within the United States in the decades prior to the Civil War.

A brilliant speaker, Douglass was asked by the American Anti-Slavery Society to engage in a tour of lectures, and so became recognized as one of America's first great black speakers. He won world fame when his autobiography was publicized in 1845. Two years later he bagan publishing an antislavery paper called the North Star.

Douglass served as an adviser to President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War and fought for the adoption of constitutional amendments that guaranteed voting rights and other civil liberties for blacks. Douglass provided a powerful voice for human rights during this period of American history and is still revered today for his contributions against racial injustice.

Simon,

H. Rap Brown was born in Baton Rouge on 4th October 1943. While attending Southern University (1960 to 1964) he joined the civil rights organization, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). He became Alabama project director in 1966 and national director of SNCC after Stokely Carmichael left in May, 1967.

By 1968 Brown had completely abandoned his pacifist beliefs and joined the Black Panther Party. He quickly developed a reputation for extremist views reflected in his book, Die Nigger Die! (1969). Associated with the rallying call, "Burn, Baby, Burn", Brown was arrested and charged with inciting people to riot and committing arson. He was also accused of importation of a weapon into Louisiana.

Imprisoned several times between 1967 and 1970, Brown was eventually shot and captured by New York City police during an armed robbery. Sentenced to a term of from five to fifteen years in Attica Prison, Brown was paroled in 1976. Converting to Islam, he changed his name to Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin.

After his release in 1976 Al-Amin became a grocery store owner in Atlanta. He also became leader of the National Ummah, one of America's largest black Muslim groups.

In March, 2000, two police officers, Aldranon English and Ricky Kinchen went to Al-Amin's store to arrest him for theft. Al-Amin opened fire on the officers with an assault rifle. Both officers were wounded. Evidence was produced in court that while Kitchen lay bleeding Al-Amin produced a 9mm handgun and shot him three times. Two years later Al-Amin was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Dear Gygax,

If you were a European, would you have bought a "Zombie Nation" ringtone, back in 2002?

Sincerely,

Ronan

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 23:45 (twenty-one years ago)

hmmm... maybe the percussive intro of the original mix but not the chorus. during the 2002 SF Giants season (we're talking baseball here), they played the shit out of that stadium mix of "kernkraft400" during bullpen breaks, between innings, etc. at pac bell park (40,000+ american people). it's not like i really had a lack of this song in my life at the time.

but for most of 2002 i had the gatchaman theme song ("dare da, dare da, dare da.../sora no kanata ni odoru kage") ringtonewise.

are there any african americans in zombie nation?

(ps: tim ellison, i'm racking my brain... rob deer 1989-1990 came close)

well... Toussaint L'Ouverture was born in 1743 in the Haut Du Cap on the Breda Habitation in Haiti Toussaint would rise from the depth of slavery to become one of the best and most celebrated black revolutionaries of the Americas. His fight against slavery will usher in the abolition of slavery in Haiti and the founding of a new nation in 1804 : The Republic of Haiti.

When the revolution broke in Haiti in 1791 Toussaint was the driver of his master, Bayon Libertat. Toussaint did not directly participate in the north uprising of 1791 although he was among the organizers of that revolt. In November 1791 nonetheless, he joined the troops of François Biassou, an important maroon leader of the north uprising, as the healer of the army. With his chief, he worked for the Spaniards in Spring 1793 in Santo Domingo to dismiss the French from the island. Under the guidance of the Spaniards Toussaint learned how to organize his troops and lead them to victory after victory.

In 1794, however, he decided to leave the Spanish side and fight for the French. In fifteen days, in 1794, he successfully fought the troops of Biassou and Jean François (Spanish) and reconquered for France all the lost lands of the North and the Centre of St Domingue. Everywhere, he raised the French flag proclaiming freedom for all the blacks. From 1794 to 1795, Toussaint relentlessly fought both the Spaniards and the Spanish in favor of the French. At the same time, he actively worked at limiting French authority in St Domingue for the liberation of the blacks. By 1801 he had proclaimed the island autonomous from France, drawing its own constitutions which nominated Toussaint Governor general of the island.

In 1802 Napoleon sent an expedition to fight Toussaint and reestablish slavery in the colony. After a bloody war, Toussaint decided to sign a cease-fire with the French troops while preserving his freedom and that of the blacks. Considerably weakened, Leclerc, the cousin of Napoleon Bonaparte who conducted the expeditionary army in Haiti, accepted the cease-fire, which was signed between the two generals on May 6th 1802. This cease-fire was not to last long however, as the French traitorously arrested Toussaint and his family on June 7th 1802.

With his family, Toussaint was deported to France on a ship ironically called "Le Heros", (The Heros). In setting foot in the "Heros" Toussaint pronounced these famous and prophetic words: "En me renversant, On n'a abattu a Saint Domingue que le tronc de l'arbre de la liberte des noirs; il poussera par les racines parce qu'elles sont profondes et nombreuses" (In arresting me, you've only pulled down the trunk of the tree of freedom; it will outgrow from its roots for they are deep and numerous). Indeed, Before Toussaint's death in France on April 7th 1803 the colony had entered in a final rebellion against the French which will result in the Independence of Haiti on January 1st 1804 and the abolition of slavery in the new nation.

The importance of Toussaint in the struggles against slavery lies in him being the leader and military strategist paving the way to independence for the first Black republic in the world. Under his leadership, Afrikan and Haitian slaves and ex-slaves fought against and defeated Napoleon Bonaparte's army.

You know? ;-D
