Re: The Last Word Who?

Re: Musings on Random Musings I see no real reason as of now to own a car. At all. I mean, if I reall need it, I can always rent one for a day or two.

Re: The Last Word "The Doctor" . . . I could well live with that nickname . . .

Re: Complicate the Person Above The Enforcer planted a whole slew of strange ideas into the head of some guy named Charles Fort. Very impressive. Very amusing.

Re: The Last Word . . . Presumably not preceded by a "Doctor" . . . ?

Re: Answers & Questions Q: It's . . . It's the end of the world!!! Are we all doomed?!? A: You mean domed.

Re: The cranky thread . . . I'm more lethargic than tired.

Re: Musings on Random Musings Moose, I believe.

Re: Musings on Random Musings I know the name of The Game -- doesn't that count?

Re: The Last Word Hum . . . I'll agree with this one: Lucky breaks, cliffhangers before every commercial break, a two-fisted hero with a troubled past . . .

Re: The Last Word . . . Which has nothing at all to do with getting in the Last Word.

Re: The Last Word Easy: Campy pulp!

Re: The Last Word I've gotten the impression that there are very few kids around here that have read any Howard tales. If they think Conan, they think the Governator. Sad but, I believe, true. Now, Biggles, on the other hand, was huge with my dad's generation -- at least among those guys who weren't all that much into sports and things that goes vrooom! Ask anyone under the age of thirty, and I doubt that less than one in fifty wouldn't go 'Dur?'

Re: Musings on Random Musings I do not participate in The Game -- hence, I win.

Re: The Last Word Hey, I said it was the easiest way to describe pulp. Not the most accurate.

Re: Answers & Questions Q: . . . I can't find anthing good on the menu. What do you recommend? A: Maison en flambé!

Re: The Last Word I'm a bit ambivalent on where the border runs between pulp and film noir . . .

Re: The Last Word . . . Sounds gloriously weird!

Re: The Last Word

Re: The Last Word The easiest way may be to say: "You wanna know what's pulp? The Phantom, Mandrake, Lovecraft and Indy -- if it feels like them, it's pulp."

Re: The Last Word I think Lovecraft is the most well known of the pulp authors that have managed to be translated. Fritz Leiber and Moorcock were published in some cheap paperbacks in the early nineties, and other than that, there's just some obscure, early scientifiction people in sci-fi collections that I know of.

Re: The Last Word . . . Where to begin, though . . . Lovecraft should figure heavily in my plans, I feel.

Re: The Last Word Same here, but the only contact these people have had with pulp is Indiana Jones.

Re: The Last Word Yup. There's a heated debate over wether the Phantom is a superhero or not going on between some friends of mine. Your take?
