Appendix D: Some Pig/One More Final

The first three posts in this series are here.

Undertale was a slightly postmodern children's fantasy movie produced by Jim Henson's Creature Shop in the '80s. Noah Hathaway played the protagonist, Frisk, who went on a long quest to escape from a magical prison inside Mt. Ebott; Frisk's father had thrown them into the mountain, known to be full of monsters, in an attempt to kill them. However, it's suggested that as a human, Frisk is inherently more of a protagonist than a monster can be, and has a vague sort of magical power over them. Toriel's death, which Frisk accidentally causes early in the movie, is commonly listed as a Peak Sad Childhood Moment.

George Orwell wrote The Writing In The Web, a political fable about a cult started by a well-meaning spider. E. B. White wrote Snowball's Farm, a whimsical children's tale about a farm whose animals decide to take over.

Infamously, Emmanuel Goldstein's monologue fills dozens of pages, takes at least three hours to read aloud, and brings the plot of Ayn Rand's 1984 to a screeching halt.

Short story collections and anthologies often keep the same title, author, and spirit, it's just the stories that are swapped out. For example, classic episodes of Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone include A Wonderful Life, The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, Miracle On 34th Street, and The Sixth Sense. 1983's The Twilight Zone Movie includes segments based on classic episodes Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (directed by John Landis and given anti-war themes), Cocoon, The Poltergeist, and In Search of the Twelve Monkeys (the original starred a young William Shatner). Candle Cove is an episode of Black Mirror.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was a 1999 Ben Stiller comedy about a team of low-rent superheroes who theme themselves after public domain characters because they cannot afford licensing fees. The film was well-reviewed, but a box office bomb. It was actually the first film to use Smash Mouth's One Week - the One Week music video is actually cross promotion with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - and it would remain the film most associated with the song until Dreamworks' Happily N'Ever After hit theaters two years later.

The Amazing Digital Circus was a virtual pet game and toy line that struck when the iron was hot on that niche, before being bought out by Hasbro and rebooted a few times in different forms and mediums. Lauren Faust created a long-running television cartoon of it that was a huge smash hit with fandom culture despite the show's clearly very young target audience. The property's canon is all very light kiddie fare; the scariest thing about The Amazing Digital Circus is that for a brief and touchy stretch of time in the early 2000s, it was owned by the Peoples Temple, which was seriously considering turning it into a recruiting platform.

Your cringe unpublished works that you gave up on were almost certainly swapped around with other people's cringe unpublished works that they gave up on. There's lots of upwards and downwards mobility to the scramble, but not usually that much. Exceptions are very rare - like a beggar suddenly being made king, or a god being reincarnated into an ant - but they do occasionally happen. For example, what you know as the land of Oz exists only in the head of a young Milwaukee stoner, who suddenly came up with the idea for an epic graphic novel one day in the 2010s while sitting on the bus, and spent a couple of years absolutely convinced she would eventually make it. (She cannot draw.) Conversely, L. Frank Baum's children's fantasy series, Enormia, which has been adapted and reimagined many times, most notably as audiences' introduction to color film, exists in your world only as a different Milwaukee stoner's overly elaborate backstory for his jerkoff sessions. This kind of thing is much more the exception than the rule, and even such exceptions are almost always much smaller in scope - an obscure stillborn project getting swapped around with an obscure out-of-print novel, or an obscure direct-to-video z-movie.

The True Detectives forum and its many schismatic spinoffs, all of which are devoted to discussing mystery fiction, host literally thousands of Wind fanfics. Many of the writers - perhaps most of them - have never actually read Wind, just other fanfiction of it; next to none of the fics are worth reading. Most Wind fics reuse the original protagonist, Rorschach, but treat him as a generically relatable blank slate. The most common fic format by far is the "altdunnit", a form of what-if scenario in which the mystery that sets off Wind's plot is different in some way.

Rorschach is held by a substantial portion of the fandom to be an egg (a trans woman who has not realized it yet). Wildbow has never endorsed this interpretation, and it doesn't seem to be much on his radar. In recent years, the trans Rorschach portion of the fandom has grown; they don't tend to look especially kindly on Warn, much of which Wildbow wrote as a response to fans (like those on the True Detectives forum) he felt had been too inclined to take Rorschach's side in Wind. Flame wars over Warn's content were constant throughout its serial publication, and made it easily the rockiest experience of Wildbow's writing career.

Some noteworthy and relevant podcasts include Jonathan Sims' The Dresden Files, the Ranged Touch Network's Scott Pilgrim Made The World, Doof Media's Winding Down (later Warning Down), and the McElroy family's The Adventure Zone (an actual play podcast which has currently had three major campaigns, two anthology series, and various one-shots). Film Reroll is still an actual play podcast that runs the basic setups of movies (and occasionally other media) as short tabletop campaigns; occasionally, their version of a movie will be much closer to ours than it is to the version of the movie in their own universe.

Xenobuddy was an early childhood public access show, originally created for the BBC in the late 1990s but later aired internationally. The title character is a small alien puppet who lives on a futuristic spaceship staffed by children (who speak a vague conlang akin to a dollar store Esperanto). At the end of every episode, it gets lost and is found, usually by (harmlessly) bursting out of one of the children. It was very popular with its target audience and much loathed by parents. Edgy ironic fanart depicting the titular Xenobuddy as some kind of dangerous parasite abounds.

Static is a supernatural slasher franchise created by Wes Craven, with the first film, also simply titled Static, released in 1984. The movies concern a group of gibbering neotenous ogre-fae who wake up in the modern day after a long sleep, incorporate televisions into their bodies, and start eating people by sucking them into hellish pocket dimensions. The Screen-Guts collectively are probably in the top five antagonists most people think of when they think of slasher horror.

Toby Fox's ROSEQUARTZ is especially known for its meta take on video game morality systems. The game has a mission-based structure; throughout it, the player is encouraged to take on a pacifist playstyle, championed by the player character's late mother, the title character. However, the Crystal Gems give the player enough autonomy that you are entirely able to take a much more violent tack; doing so has a rippling effect on the game's writing in countless immersively-integrated ways. If the player goes out of their way to be as murderous as possible - the so-called "genocide route" - the differences from the main route grow much more extreme, and rather than gaining allies, you start to lose them, as the Crystal Gems realize what you're doing and one by one turn against you. If you manage to shatter Garnet - it's the hardest and most iconic fight in the game, Megalovania is playing, her Future Vision gets used for all it's worth - then you use your knife to slash at the cosmos, erasing Earth, Homeworld, and everything else. This, Toby Fox is saying, is apparently all you want out of a video game - another toy to break.

Warner Bros still did Space Jam with Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes, it's just that the Looney Tunes in question were Mickey Mouse and friends. They also still did a second one with LeBron James, which was, by God, somehow worse. They put Ms. Frizzle in it.

Walt Disney made his squeaky clean reputation on the back of adaptations of things like Rudyard Kipling's adventure novel The Call of Cthulhu, P. L. Travers' Thomas the Tank Engine, and Erich Kästner's feel-good coming-of-age kidnapping tale about the power of perseverance, Lolita, originally done with Hayley Mills and later remade with Lindsay Lohan.

Nabokov's extremely controversial literary classic that has defined the idea of the unreliable narrator is Father's Trap, from the perspective of a man who plots to obtain custody of both of his daughters for nefarious purposes. Most publishers ignored Nabokov's instructions not to depict the twins, Lisa and Lottie, on the cover. Stanley Kubrick and Adrian Lyne have directed mediocre film adaptations, and songwriting team Lerner and Loewe did a musical that was a legendary flop.

The Japanese fashion movement is Gothic Pollyanna, after an otherwise-forgotten series of penny dreadfuls about a cute, cheery, rules-minded young girl who is, despite appearances, an insane criminal. Minor character Bonesaw in Alan Moore's Worm Turns also clearly hearkens back to the Pollyanna stock character.

The DEA was a prime-time soap opera about the ongoing "war on drugs"; it ran for eleven seasons from 1982 to 1993. Its plot focused on federal agents working at the Drug Enforcement Administration office in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and especially partners Hank Schrader and Steve Gomez and their families. It is mostly remembered today for its downer ending (in which the treachery of late-show villain Walter White, or "Heisenberg", gets the leads killed, and he escapes from justice), and for its far-more-acclaimed spinoff series Better Call Saul, which also ran for eleven seasons from 1993 to 2004, functioning as a prequel, midquel, and sequel to The DEA.

Between The DEA and Better Call Saul, Kelsey Grammer played crooked lawyer Saul Goodman for twenty consecutive years of primetime TV, first as featured comic relief and later as a leading man. (He also guest-starred on the mostly-forgotten Mall Cop, establishing that it, too, was set in the world of The DEA and Better Call Saul.) Better Call Saul won more than a dozen Primetime Emmys. Peri Gilpin received several of these for her performance as Kim Wexler.

St. Elsewhere was a film written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan in the late 1990s; it was highly acclaimed and successful, and established Shyamalan in the public eye as a skilled auteur with an affinity for twist endings. The film's final scene reveals that its main setting, St. Eligius Hospital, exists entirely within the imagination of an autistic boy, Tommy Westphall, as he gazes into a snowglobe. The so-called "Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis", which posits that this same twist applies to most of fiction due to a network of crossovers, was invented by a Saturday Night Live sketch shortly postdating the film's release, in which an amnesiac Charles McGill (from Better Call Saul) wakes up in St. Eligius, attended to by a cast of characters who are more concerned with their own nonexistence.

After rising to prominence as a writer, storyboarder, and composer for Pendleton Ward's Science Time (where she established the Summer/Jessica relationship that would come to define later seasons), Rebecca Sugar got to make her own cartoon, Henry Ichor. Set in a recently post-apocalyptic but strangely cheerful world, Henry Ichor concerns a young teenage boy who is conscripted as a mech pilot due to his rare and innate ability to link to the powerful Evangelion mecha. (His preferred Evangelion is eventually revealed to be a form of his late mother, the reason he can do this in the first place.) Henry turns out to be a vital asset in protecting humanity from the monstrous "Angels" that frequently threaten it, and is surprisingly emotionally mature for his age. However, the adults around him (especially his father, Gennady) frequently push him too far, especially considering his generally noncombative and pacifistic nature. There is much interpersonal drama and much singing about it, with a very vocally trained cast. After several seasons of slow buildup, the show was forced to suddenly rush to its ending in only a few (infamous) episodes after an arc where Henry had a romance with an Angel in male human form. Henry Ichor The Movie and an ensuing miniseries, End Of Henry Ichor, helped bring the show to a more thematically satisfying conclusion.

Although he has played a creative or consultant role in many animated projects, Alex Hirsch is best known for the one he was actually the showrunner for, Disney Channel's smash hit Sunnydale. Focusing on a small California town constantly plagued by supernatural threats, Sunnydale generally followed a simple monster-of-the-week format, but kept audiences on the hook with teases at a deeper underlying mystery. The show almost didn't get a season two, as Hirsch found working with Disney very tiring, but he was eventually persuaded; season two ran through the rest of Hirsch's ideas at a faster pace, and concluded the show with the leads graduating from Sunnydale High.

For a brief historical moment, Daron Nefcy's show, Ender vs. the Space Bug Army, looked like it would become the successor to Sunnydale, keeping Disney Television Animation prestigious after Sunnydale ended. However, though Ender drew in a big crowd, and lasted almost twice as long as Sunnydale, it was not ultimately as well-received. EvtSBA is a children's space opera, wearing its Starship Troopers (Joss Whedon) inspiration on its sleeve, but also clearly copying some (superficial) notes from Philip Pullman. Set in a future where mankind has come into violent conflict with bug-like aliens, the show follows unbearably smug boy supergenius Ender as he is sent to military school to prepare for interstellar warfare. The show has an extremely cutesy and hyperactive tone; typical filler episodes include the one (generally taken as meta about fandom drama) in which Ender's siblings' futuristic internet arguments prove instrumental to the survival of the human race. Later seasons get a bit more serious, but focus heavily on shipping. The show is infamous for its ending, in which Ender, for his final exam, destroys the Formics' home planet and releases a psychic signal that eradicates the Formic race. Although the show explicitly notes that this includes many individual Formics who we have previously known as sympathetic characters, it is nonetheless played as a happy ending in which a hostile colonial power is defeated. Ender has ended the war; he has beaten the Space Bug Army.

"Meugh-Neigh. 'Meugh' like the cat, 'neigh' like the horse." "Does it mean something?" "No answer; none at all."

Orson Scott Card is an extremely prolific author of speculative fiction. Although it isn't as close to his heart as the Steel Gear series, in which he got to flex his military sci-fi muscles and allegorically retell stories from his faith, he is undoubtedly best known for Ishtar's Curse. Initially a short story and later expanded into a full novel, the plot concerns young Princess Ishtar, or Star, heir to the heathen fairy kingdom of Meugh-Neigh. (In later novels, she changes her name to Bethlehem Diaz, or Beth.) Spoiled and destructive but magically talented, Star is sent to twentieth century Earth so she can develop the wits and the strength of character to be a viable wartime leader for her people - or at least so she can be kept out of the way. After several years of personal growth and magical misadventures with companions she met on Earth, a more grounded Star devises a spell to erase the magic that makes up the bodies of most of her throne's enemies. This plan works, and merges Meugh-Neigh into the Earth as a small and ordinary European country. However, though her subjects are eager to celebrate her for this, Star is devastated when she realizes that she has killed trillions of innocent spirits, and, seeking to atone, she takes on the title of Speaker for the Dead (also the title of the book's first sequel). Although it's frequently ranked highly in lists of fantasy novels of the twentieth century, Ishtar's Curse has received some harsh criticism, with the standard line being that Star is an idealized fantasy of a repentant Hitler figure, and that the text presents excessive justifications for her actions. The story has also been called a reactionary response to Wilde's The Little Mermaid. After more than twenty years, a film adaptation of Ishtar's Curse was released in 2009, starring Dakota Fanning, to mixed reviews. The box office took a further hit due to a boycott campaign, after Card's views on homosexuality (and, relatedly, his membership in the LDS Church) became widely known. In the end, it lost the studio a lot of money.

Hideaki Anno is best known for the classic smash hit anime he made for Studio Gainax, Einstein Goliath Nestorian, a psychologically intense deconstruction of martial arts shonen like Yoshiyuki Tomino's Dragon Ball. Einstein Goliath Nestorian concerns a mystery man known only as Saitama, who finds that he has become dissatisfied with life and alienated from the world after only three years of training have enabled him to easily surpass any physical challenge. The original series is known for its sudden, surreal, and clearly budget-driven ending, although this was quickly alleviated with a similarly surreal but more definitive finale movie. Although many Western anime fans often think of Einstein Goliath Nestorian as pretentious and ultra niche, it was actually a huge mainstream hit in Japan, with a colossal franchise of adaptations, merch, and spinoffs (notably including a series of Retrain films, which began as extremely close shot-for-shot remakes of the original series but wound up spiraling into a very different updated timeline).

Previously most noteworthy for his 2003 visual novel Oreimo, Gen Urobuchi was tapped by Shaft for their extremely successful and acclaimed anime Ohayou Hana!, hailed as a deceptively dark deconstruction of the teen idol genre. The plot concerns a girl, Saionji Mayuri, who leads a double life, being of little note at school, out of costume, but spending much of her time as #1 idol Hana. Her mental stability begins to deteriorate as she realizes that the adults in her life - especially her father, himself a former idol - have groomed her to serve as a drugged and hypnotized propaganda mouthpiece for a shadowy conspiracy. She winds up in the worst of both worlds as her ensuing breakdown, and her handlers' response to it, destroys both of her lives and brings ruin to those she cares about. In addition to the popularity of the actual anime, many of its songs became decontextualized J-Pop hits. The idol anime genre would then receive a glut of edgy lesser imitators, like Love Live: School Idol Project, Cheetah Girls, and magical girl fusion Symphogear. Although the original Ohayou Hana! was a self-contained twelve-episode story, it received a sequel movie shortly thereafter, Ohayou Hana! Rebel!, which ended on a cliffhanger that has still not been resolved over a decade later. The upcoming Ohayou Hana! MK Ultra! is expected to get things back on track. An abridged series originating on 4chan, focusing on cropped screencaps from Ohayou Hana!, called the title character "Miss Ohio", producing the memetic tagline "being Ohio is suffering".

Zack Snyder first came up with the idea for Madoka around 2000, a long time before he'd actually get to make it; he put the project on hold in 2006 to make his adaptation of Worm Turns. He developed the idea with his wife Deborah and a cowriter, Steve Shibuya. Inspired by the Disney Princess phenomenon, as well as Naoko Takeuchi's Pretty Cure (one of the few anime that had already become a hit in the States), Snyder wanted to tell a coherent story about fights between magical girls who could make anything happen, who could make any fantastical world or visual appear. In Snyder's film, we follow Madoka Kaname, a teenager attending a Catholic school in Los Angeles. Madoka and her friends are approached by a strange young woman who goes only by "Mommy", and her animal companion (a CGI-ed up squirrel-cat thing), QB. They offer to make the teens into "magical girls", granting them one wish each in exchange for a life devoted to spiritual warfare. (Another mysterious new girl, Lilly, urges them not to take the deal in the strongest possible terms.) This turns out to be a scam; QB is pitting the magical girls against one another for his own reasons, and in the end, every magical girl and her wish gets corrupted. Despite much of the film's plot being a horrific bloodbath - the MPAA demanded a lot of cuts to get it down to a PG-13 rating - there is a happy ending; Madoka finally makes her own wish and uses it to topple QB's whole system. Madoka isn't often discussed nowadays but it was a major discourse bomb when it came out in 2010, alternately being called misogynistic Orientalist trash and a subversive feminist masterpiece. Snyder, for his part, often notes that QB is intended as an allegory for exploitative forces within the entertainment industry that treat young women as disposable resources with an expiration date; this is already clear to anyone who's watched the film, which is not exactly subtle in its symbolism. He also explains that the film sexualizes the girls in an effort to shame the audience, to get people to understand that they are objectifying the characters in the same way that QB does. The soundtrack's got a really cool ethereal cover of Nine Inch Nails' King Nothing on it, which is probably the most remembered part of the film today.

Selena Gomez became a star by playing Violet Parr on Disney Channel's superhero sitcom The Incredibles. While the show was initially a very throwaway villain-of-the-week affair whose leads had to keep their powers hidden from the public and their caped escapades secret from the government for self-explanatory comes-with-the-genre reasons, it would eventually unfold that the show was set in something of an X-Men-style dystopia where superheroism had been outlawed and supers oppressed by the government as a potential societal fifth column.

Brad Bird directed one of Pixar's most celebrated films, Wizards of Waverly Place; it was Pixar's first film with a predominantly human cast. Disney was hungry for a fantasy property after losing a bidding war for the Luz Noceda rights. It had strong populist anti-eugenic themes, with an elaborate wizarding hierarchy of antagonists who seek to remove the Russo family's magic as part of an effort to curb wizard overpopulation. The sequel came more than a decade later, and wasn't nearly as good.

In addition to Worm Turns, Alan Moore is notable for the heavily metafictional comic Pagemaster, about a boy, Richard, who finds a magical library that contains all stories that have ever been or could ever be told; he becomes lost and imperiled in assorted pieces of historically noteworthy literature (initially ones in the public domain, though later volumes would start using legally safe serial-numbers-filed-off versions of modern stories). The 2003 film, in which Sean Connery played the librarian in one of his last film roles, is widely regarded as a terrible, deeply-toned-down adaptation that didn't grasp the tone or themes of the original story at all; it only covered the first half of the first volume, in which Richard meets "genre spirits" who wish to sort all stories into rigid categories. In a later volume, Pagemaster Millennium, an aged Richard Tyler, who has since taken on the mantle of librarian himself, meets a teenage girl, heavily implied to be Luz Noceda, who has also become lost in the library. She has become corrupted by an eldritch book, or "Necronomicon", written by "the Wrong Author", heavily implied to be the devil (and/or Hugo Astley, an Aleister Crowley caricature from W. Somerset Maugham's The Winged Bull). Flushed with demonic power and enraged by what she's become, a monstrous Luz tears through the library in a blaze of hellfire, seeking to destroy all of literature and the world. It is only through the intervention of the Fat Controller - heavily implied to be God - that Luz is defeated; he mercifully erases her by hitting her with a train, and laments what she became.

17th December 1798 saw a skirmish at Collieston, Aberdeenshire that reulted in the death of smuggler, Phillip Kennedy.

Scotland's love of gin has been long forged with smuggling of the clear spirit hitting its peak in the 18th Century as demand for cut price contraband soared.

In 1707, the excise duty on spirits was dramatically hiked in a bid to put drink out of reach of the lower classes with the tax opening up a thriving illicit trade with Holland.

So hard fought were attempts to secure the booty that excise men - known as gaugers - were in repeated running battles with the smugglers over the cargo.

Violence was regularly used to secure the liquor and, according to a 19th Century account by William Alexander, the exciseman was deemed “a fit subject for rough handling as occasion offered.”

“To tie his legs together and fasten his hands forcible behind his back and leave him lying helpless on the lone hillside was not deemed out of place by any means,” Alexander wrote.

One moonlit encounter between the exciseman and smugglers on the Aberdeenshire coastline led to the brutal death of Philip Kennedy, one of Scotland’s most notorious gin smugglers

In December 1798, the lugger Crooked Mary landed 16 ankers of gin at Cransdale with Kennedy, who also farmed in the area, among those charged with moving the alcohol ashore.

Part of the cargo was due to be shifted across land by night by cart, with the gaugers tipped off about the planned movement.

Three excise men lay in wait - fully armed with swords - near the Kirk of Slains for the passing consignment.

As a precaution, the smugglers sent several men, including Kennedy, to check the route was clear.

Alexander wrote: “One of those who first encountered the excise men was Kennedy, and being a man of feared courage as well as powerful physique, he seized and then threw down two of them, calling to his companions to secure the third.”

However, his associates fled and hid in the bushes as the violent encounter unfolded with Kennedy’s brother believed to have been among them.

Kennedy was soon struck over the head by a sword held by the third exciseman.

Alexander wrote: “The savage gauger who was still free was then observed by some of the cowards lying perdu in the adjacent bushes to hold his sword above his head as if to make certain that he was using the edge.

“With a sweeping and relentless stroke, the smuggler’s skull was laid open with a frightful bash.”

With blood streaming, Kennedy staggered around a quarter of a mile to Kirkton of Slains, where he collapsed and died.

Now encounters like this must have been quite common, what makes this a wee bit more memoravle is that it is said the death of Kennedy inspired parts of Sir Walter Scott’s novel Guy Mannering.

A simple gravestone in the Slains Kirkyard is now the only visible reminder of the smuggling run that went disastrously wrong.

According to Duncan Harley in the A-Z of Curious Aberdeenshire, the skull of Philip Kennedy has been occasionally dug up during later internments at the graveyard.

“Gravediggers can easily identify it by the deep cut of the exciseman’s cutlass,” Harley wrote.

The stretch of coastline between Aberdeen and Peterhead was a smugglers’ paradise during the 18th Century given the never ending network of caves that can be found here.

According to accounts from the early part of the century, more than 1,000 ankers of foreign spirits were landed here every month.

Contraband as also hidden on the beaches with pits dug deep into the sand.

Dry sand and wet sand were used to cover the booty to conceal any changes to the ground caused by digging.

According to accounts, the pit was lined with bricks or timber, and the roof was always at least six feet underground in a bid to defy the probes used to locate hidden caches on the beach, which were six feet long.

Talk Like a Grizzled Prospector Day

Talk Like a Grizzled Prospector Day commemorates the start of the  California Gold Rush, which began on January 24, 1848, when James  Marshall discovered gold while building a saw mill for John Sutter, near  what is now Coloma, California. The day has its roots in International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and was inspired by Prospectors Day, which was once held at Knott's Berry Farm each year on January 24. It also was inspired by an episode of the Simpsons with the following exchange:

Bart: That ain't been popular since aught-six, dagnabbit. Homer: Bart, what did I tell you? Bart: No talking like a grizzled 1890's prospector, consarn it.

Common examples of characters talking like grizzled prospectors in popular culture include Dallas McKennon narrating Disneyland's Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland and Big Thunder Mountain, Gabby Hayes—both drunk and sober—in many Western films, Gabby Johnson in Blazing Saddles, Will Ferrell as Gus Chiggins on Saturday Night Live, and Walter Huston in The Treasure of Sierra Madre.

Prospectors first came to the Sacramento Valley after Marshall found  flakes of gold in the American River near Sutter's Mill, at the base of  the Sierra Nevada Mountains. At the time there were less than 1,000  non-native inhabitants in California. Newspapers began reporting the  discovery of gold, and by August, 4,000 miners had descended on the  area. The first people that came from outside of the territory came by  boat, and arrived from Oregon, the Sandwich Islands—soon to be called  the Hawaiian Islands, Mexico, Peru, China, and Chili.

In December 1848, President James K. Polk announced a report by  Colonel Richard Mason which spoke of the abundance of gold in  California; this prompted more prospectors to travel to the territory.  Throughout 1849, thousands arrived, either traveling by sea or over  land, and became known as '49ers. Mining towns popped up in the area,  and with them came shops, saloons, and brothels. Many mining towns  became lawless, and San Francisco became an important city in the  territory. By the end of 1849, the non-native population had swelled to  100,000. The Gold Rush helped California gain statehood in 1850, and  gold discovery peaked in the state in 1852. In all, more than 750,000  pounds of gold were extracted during the Gold Rush.

The implication of a grizzled prospector is of one who has stayed so  long searching for gold that their hair has turned gray. Some  prospectors refused to quit the profession and continued to live in the  Western territories. So, when Bart Simpson mentioned a grizzled  prospector from the 1890s, he was referring to a prospector that had  stayed more than forty years after the Gold Rush happened, still trying  to find gold, or other commodities such as silver, oil, radium, and  uranium. Besides a gray beard, the stereotypical grizzled prospector had  faded clothes, missing teeth, a pickaxe, and a mule. They had bouts of  gold fever, and were suspicious of whoever came close to their claim.

How to Observe Talk Like a Grizzled Prospector Day

Celebrate the day talking like a grizzled prospector. Here are a few words prospectors commonly used, that you could use today:

Dadburn: to curse; e.g.: "Dadburned boll weevil done 'et my crop!"

Hornswoggle: to embarrass, disconcert, or confuse; e.g.: "I'll be hornswaggled!"

Consarn: the entirety of something, also a curse word.

Dumbfungled: all used up; e.g.: "This claim is dumbfungled! There's no gold left!"

Bonanza: a mine with lots of gold.

Borrasca: a mine with no gold.

Baby buggy: wheel barrow.

Muck: to dig with a shovel.

Powder monkey: a miner who used dynamite to make holes.

Johnny Newcome: a miner new to camp.

Blackjack and saw bosom: coffee and bacon.

Paydirt: land rich in gold.

Panned out: if they had found gold while sifting through dirt with a mining pan, then things had "panned out."

Flash in the pan: something shiny in pan that turned out to be nothing, or just a small piece of gold.

Stake a claim: claim a piece of land as your own as a place to  search for gold, must stake the land with wooden stakes when you arrive.

The day could also be spent watching films such as The Treasure of Sierra Madre, or old Western films starring Gabby Hayes. A visit to the Sutter's Mill replica and the Gold Discovery and Visitor Center in Marshall Gold Discovery State Park could also be planned. The days' Facebook page could also be explored.

hii omg fun!! let me think hmm i feel like there will be quite a few..i would paste the entirety of in my life here but to pick a particular bit i'll go for the very end, though i know ill never lose affection, for people and things that went before, i know ill often stop and think about them, in my life, i love you more since its in my bio : ^ ). in taxman its barely a lyric but something about the ah ah mr wilson / ah ah mr heath is always really satisfying to me i forget how much i like that song..she said she said all the lyrics in that are great but particularly the way she said 'you don't understand what i said' / i said 'no no no, you're wrong' is sung itches smthn for me..other ones that stand out purely for being fun are back in the ussr show me round your snow-peaked mountains way down south, take me to your daddy's farm / let me hear your balalaikas ringing out, come and keep your comrade warm and i'm so tired and curse sir walter raleigh / he was such a stupid git...more sincere ones i love are blackbird you were only waiting for this moment to arise, all the john + paul (i think its them?) sections in she's leaving home, we gave her most of our lives, sacrificed most of our lives, we gave her everything money could buy etc...also a day in the life which is one of my favourites...another one where i could probably put all of it in because i unironically think its one of their best songs if not of the greatest songs of the sixties if not of all time and im not kidding..he blew his mind out in a car / he didn't notice that the lights had changed and the whole four thousand holes in blackburn lancashire bit (which on a completely irrelevant note would make an excellent title for anything). it's all too much is one of the beatles most underrated songs ever maybe but i love that one and the with your long blond hair and your eyes of blue bit, although admittedly thats taken from the song sorrow which is by the mccoys originally i think? although david bowie does an excellent cover and im getting off topic. those are the ones that come to mind most immediately!! feel like some of my favourite beatles songs here are underrepresented because while i love them there arent specific lyrics that stick out but alas that is the challenge of the question. and it was super fun thank you anon 4 asking it !! lmk what yours are !!

Angels in America: In the first part, we meet Louis and Prior and Harper and Joe, two couples whose relationships are on the rocks: the former because of Prior’s AIDS diagnosis and Louis’s inability to cope with illness, the latter because of Joe’s closeted homosexuality and Harper’s incessant fears and hallucinations, as well as her addiction to pain-killers. The second part focuses on the story of Prior Walter, a gay man living with AIDS who has recently been left by his partner, Louis, after he could not cope with the physical and personal impact of the disease.

The Ferryman: Set in Northern Ireland in 1981, Quinn has swapped his career with the IRA for a life on the farm in rural Armagh. He now lives with his sickly wife, their children, his sister-in-law and nephew. The IRA murdered Quinn’s brother, Seamus, and his body has only recently been discovered. He was one of the sixteen men and women who were killed and buried in unknown locations during the 1970s. Seamus was apparently shot dead following Quinn’s defection from the IRA in 1972, and a threateningly influential IRA member, Muldoon, now comes to pay Quinn a visit. He is keen to ensure that there are no further repercussions to the IRA’s cause, now Seamus’ murder has come to light.

Propaganda under the cut!

Angels in America:

painful funny surreal and down to earth all at the same time somehow, even without being a landmark piece for me personally w/ regard to queer literature

The Great American Play. The definitive exploration of how AIDS affected an entire generation of queer Americans in the '80s, and what it left behind in its wake. Those more eloquent than I am will be better at doing this play justice, but my sincerest hope is that the sheer significance of this work is clear enough to carry it all the way through to the highest end of this showdown.

honestly the peak of modern theater 2 me. everything i write and create is in the hopes that i might someday make something that lives up to the bar that angels set. it treats every one of its characters with such depth and compassion and the world it creates is so vivid and fantastic. and the context in which it was created will always be beyond important to me like i don't know how to describe how important it is that a play widely considered an american classic is about the aids crisis. she's the blueprint she's perfect she's everything

genuinely changed my life when i first read it. andrew garfield played prior walter in the 2018 national theatre version and he fucking kills it. it's 6 whole hours of joy and heartbreak and, most of all, hope. stan harper pitt!!!

This epic stageplay has become more accessible since its HBO miniseries adaptation in 2003. It is epic, intersectional, commemorative of a collective trauma that had been silenced for too long at the time of writing. (also Harper deserves to be as much a Tumblr Sad Girl icon as Lana del Rey or Sylvia Plath.) 

The Ferryman:

Over three hours of riveting family drama that could have gone on another three hours and I would have been delighted. The last thirty seconds of this show will take you out.

Polly Want a Tombstone?

Located on Main Street in downtown Richmond Cemetery is a very large and beautiful graveyard filled with a variety of interesting stones:

James McCreary and his pet Polly-Former governor of Kentucky. Not many locals are aware that a former governor is buried here, and even fewer realized that McCreary's pet bird, Polly, is buried in her own grave beside him. As far as we know, Polly is the only animal buried in Richmond Cemetery.

Keen Johnson-Another former governor of Kentucky and the namesake of the haunted building of E.K.U.'s campus (see "Ghosts" chapter)

Walter Tevis-The final resting place for Kentucky's great pool hustler and writer.

Fiddlin' Doc Roberts-Old-time country music star who baffled his fans by giving up his career at the peak of his success in 1935 and returning to a life of farming and anonymity.

Earle Combs-New York Yankee Hall of Fame baseball star of the 1920s and '30s. (It is just us, or is Combs's grave leaning drastically to one side?)

T.C.-This is a delightful homemade stone, which is decorated with a primitive mosaic of broken Milk of Magnesia bottles, soda bottles, and marbles. You can find T.C's grave near the railroad tracks.

French Tipton-Few people outside the area may have heard of him, but his grave is worth laying a flower on. Tipton was something of a Renaissance man during the nineteenth century. He was a newspaper editor for the Richmond Register and also published his own paper. He was an author, an attorney, and eventually a judge. He was, and is, considered the most historian of Madison County. Unfortunately, he died before he could complete his masterwork history of the area. For reasons unclear, in September 1900, Tipton initiated a fistfight with Clarence Woods, the editor of a rival newspaper, while walking down North Second Street in downtown Richmond. Woods produced a pistol and shot Tipton point-blank. Tipton died form the wounds two days later in his home.

The Emerald Triangle

Introduction:

In August of 2014,  the US, experienced an unparalleled rebellion over the murder of Michael Brown, a Black man, by Darren Wilson, a white police officer. Like many cities, we had looted and rioted for weeks on end, searching for the limits of our revolutionary capabilities, which turned out to be a lack of  imagination in the end. The same old tools, produced the same results, the talking heads “representing” the people gained a seat at the negotiating table of power, to produce several more black people being killed by the police over the next few years (Tamir Rice 2014,Eric Harris 2015,Walter Scott 2015,Freddie Gray 2015, Philando Castile 2016, Stephon Clark 2018, Breonna Taylor 2020, George Floyd 2020)   without any significant consequence.  This is one story among many that was never supposed to be told. It is about an exploration into the unknown, to build capacity for militant struggle against the US government.

Lex, Jessie, and Bronson aimed to leave town at 10:00am. Jessie borrowed a plain white van from a friend. Jessie was supposed to pick up Lex and Bronson who had gathered all the necessary tools:  bullet proof vests, guns, bolt cutters, crow bars, drills etc. When Jessie finally arrived the two had stepped off the curb becoming more aware of the heavy weight of the bags, and got into the van. Jessie sat in the drivers seat, he was to take the first shift driving the 4 hours to the Emerald Triangle ( the US’s largest cannabis producer located in Northern California)

As the crew drove to the outskirts of the busy city, Jessie nervously chain  smoked cigarettes with the window down, his hat which was covering his balding head, was fluttering with the turbulence of the incoming freeway air.  While on the drive Jessie and Bronson debated philosophy as a way to pass the time, and to get to know each other, this was the longest amount of time the 3 of them would spend together.  Bronson, had spent his teenage years in and out of incarceration, and had become an avid reader. He argued against any universal statements, proclaimed the fiction of race and gender as social constructs. Jessie didn’t really believe one way or the other, he was just driving, fascinated by the conversation.

Bronson and Lex were essentially hired thugs and tacticians for this operation. The two of them had worked together in the streets, organizing black bloc demonstrations, occupations, looting, rioting, and getting into street fights with the police. They where seasoned anarchists.

Jessie was a pot farmer, who had been cut out of a $100,000 grow operation.  The season for harvesting weed in CA is in October, in early August the owner of the pot farm had let Jessie go, claiming the operation didn’t need him anymore. Jessie had managed the farm from start to finish, and was expecting around $50k when all the weed was sold. Instead the owner gave him $8k and cut him loose.

Jessie and Bronson had met at a party during the height of the Ferguson Uprising.  Every major city in the US was on fire, and many seasoned street fighters had reached the peak of their skill sets. The horizon of the struggle was simply out of reach. It was in this moment as Jessie explained the debacle with his boss, that Bronson plotted  on a simple experiment. If armed struggle was to become the next step, revolutionaries would need practice, what better than a relatively low stakes robbery, a dress rehearsal for larger expropriations. The weed farmers wouldn’t call the police, they might try an armed defense of the farm, but by being caught off guard they didn’t have much of a chance.  The same organizing attention to detail and security could be used to plan the heist.

So there the 3 of them where, hurling down the freeway. The philosophical banter continued,   “There is a kind of inherent, although unintentional, anti-authoritarian nature to oral histories” explained Bronson to the van of would be thieves. Lex jumped in to hammer the point home

“ Without a definitive reference point, social regulation becomes like a game of telephone, it’s harder to concentrate power, cause no one really knows exactly what the rule was, or how it should be interpreted. Hammurabi’s code was probably the first solidified reference for law,  literally written in stone…” 

the van began to slow as they approached the exit,  the conversation fell to a silence as the gravity of the situation was beginning to be felt, and they awaited to stop exactly where they had planned.

The road off the exit turned to dirt, and continued toward the mountains. They winded through the steep alpine forest for what seemed like hours, taking deep breaths of the fresh air to calm the nerves .  Finally the van stopped at an unused campsite a few miles from the entrance to the farm. So much planning and discreet meetings, the emotional preparation to possibly get into a gun fight, to shoot someone, or to be shot, in the backdrop of a looming revolution in the US.  

They slide open the old van door and began ruffling through the large bags, found the bullet proof vests and began to put them on.  Bronson was realizing that he had never put a bullet proof vest on before, it was a lot heavier than he thought. They began to load the ghost guns, clearly none of them had much experience, fumbling the bullets around before finding a rhythm of putting them into the magazines, they checked the tools, the last touch to make their fantasy into a reality was to dawn the black mask. The plan was to climb the mountain, a 6 mile walk along the ridge following the electrical lines that lead to the house, to avoid walking up the only road to the  farm. This particular date was chosen by following the “Boss” on Facebook  which indicated that they wold be on vacation during this time. No one in the crew could know for sure, so it was agreed that during the robbery if the “Boss” came up the dirt road they’d have no choice but take the “Boss” hostage to ensure a clean get away.

As they hiked, the sweat poured into Bonson’s face forcing him to stop every so often to wipe his eyes as they went up the dirt hill with 100 lbs of equipment and a loaded gun. The ideological reasons for being there didn’t exist in that moment, only the immediate physical reality was present, the sweat under the bullet proof vest soaking his shirt underneath,  the slightest need to pee, the discomfort of his shoes. Jessie was getting further and further ahead, not only because he knew the route but also because he carried the least amount of equipment. He saw Lex and Bronson lagging behind, the plan needed to be altered, it didn’t meet the physical needs of the terrain. Jessie waited near one of the electrical towers sprinkled along the ridge line, as Lex and Bronson struggled to keep up the the sun started to go down. Jessie signaled for them to come in closer, he whispered “ I’m going to run up ahead and scout to see if anyone is there, you two keep coming, we are getting close. Just keep following the electrical line and stop at the tree line before the farm.” Lex and Bronson looked at each other panting and simply nodded their heads trying to catch their breath. Jessie had worked on the farm a year ago and knew where they might be storing all the weed, he was the best person to go ahead and scout it out.

As Lex and Bronson finally approached the tree line of the farm the sun had just began to set on the valley where the small house was located.  Jessie snaked his way to the tree line to meet them he knelt closer “ I need you guys to aim the guns at the front door while I look in the windows to make sure no one is here before we crack open the storage unit.”  Eye contact between Lex and Bronson  was made and a quick nod, they carefully set down the tools in the darkness of the forest and crept up to the house to take their positions aiming at the door just in case anyone saw Jessie in the window and tried to come out.  Jessie had started at the window closest to the door and worked around the building in a clockwise rotation. He slowly peeked his head up above the window sill like a cartoon bear trying to steal a freshly baked pie. As he ended his search he returned to the other two’s firing positions. “There is no one fucking here!” The excitement of the three of them noticeably lit up their faces even under the black ski masks.  After retrieving the tools, they still moved cautiously together, guns drawn moving in a column towards the shed where the loot was hidden.  

As they approached the door Lex and Bronson assessed the security of the door and the tools needed to open it. The door was held shut with a thick padlock on your basic barn door hinge. Bronson had always been amused at the logic of locks, even the strongest lock in the world can’t make a weak hinge stronger. The bolt cutters where taken out of the large black bag, and Lex and Bronson simply cut the hinge the lock was attached to in two cuts. The thieves swung the door wide open, the room was full of bags and two refrigerators. Jessie quickly  rummaged thru the bags to make sure it contained what they where looking for. He stuck his head in and deeply inhaled, his eyes through his mask looked like he had reunited with an old friend. He simply said “ That’s it” Everyone readjusted their equipment and picked up two bags each. The bags themselves contained 20 lbs of weed each. They hauled them to the side of dirt road, Jessie again volunteered to run down the road to retrieve the van and drive it back up to gather them and the loot. Lex brought up the fact that the “Boss” could up the road at anytime and that we needed a plan on what to do if they did. Bronson took the radios out handed one to Jessie, “ At this point if the Boss comes up that road you need to fire a warning shot at them and radio us, we’ll take them hostage until we are done, and leave them tied up in the woods somewhere.” The risk was assessed by the group and the plan went ahead.  Immediately after Jessie took a radio and a hand gun and began sprinting down the hill, leaving everything with the other two.

Lex and Bronson waited on the side of the dirt road for Jessie to return with the van. No words where exchanged between them, just the silence of the woods. Suddenly some lights came up the road, firing positions where taken until the vehicle could be recognized. It was Jessie, he found a place to turn the van around and the three quickly loaded all the equipment and the loot into the back of the van. All three got in the car and made their way down the dirt road, hoping that this wouldn’t be the moment that someone came up the road. The job wasn’t done until they made it home, they where now traveling with 120 lbs of weed which could still land them all felonies.

The trio made their way to a nearby hotel to check in and hold tight until morning. Jessie had moved weight before but not this much, the standard operating procedure was to travel with a “tail,” a separate vehicle that would trail the carrying car in case police tried to pull it over. They rented a box truck, and flipped a coin on who would drive the truck holding all the loot.  Lex got the short end of the stick while Jessie and Bronson would follow in the tail van, now only carrying the weapons.

As the months went up by after the robbery the three had made an impressive selling operation. Weed sales in CA don’t yield as much profit as out of state sales, plus anyone who happened to sell the weed to the “boss” or their clientele could lead them back to the trio.  Jessie knew real estate agents on the East Coast who could be hired to receive their  mailed weed packages at empty homes they where selling, and could mail back the money disguised in coloring books with the pages cut out. Over a course of a few months the plan unfolded, and the trio made a good profit around $20k each. Lex and Bronson had agreed to use a certain percentage of the money for political causes to up the capacity for militant organizing. But what was specifically  done with the money is a different story all together….

Crimson desert plot

#Crimson desert plot free

Under such circumstances, Fett could find himself becoming a target very quickly. WWGW used 'Crimson' but all previous sources have indicated Red Desert to be the name. Sources currently differ on whether it's Red Desert or Crimson Desert. That meant further Crimson Dawn attention devoted to the desert planet, and with both Jabba and Maul dead by the time Fett claimed power, that likely left the organization with on-planet assets able to make a swift claim for Jabba’s holdings. The King's words that day would go on to become the guiding principle of Valencia: the desert is Aal’s domain, the oasis his hospitality, and the Black Stone his bountifulness. Solo belonged to Tobias Beckett’s crew, whom the angry former Sith specifically targeted at the end of Solo, and the Rebel-to-be was working for Jabba at the same time as Maul’s arrival on Tatooine.

#Crimson desert plot free

Crimson Dawn was an ideal organization to handle the logistical details of that, leaving Maul free to scour the desert in search of his nemesis.įurthermore, Maul had a keen interest in Han Solo as well as Kenobi. Maul was an enemy of the Empire at that point, and probably didn't want to waste time maneuvering past Imperial checkpoints, or dealing with Jabba the Hutt. That strongly suggests that Crimson Dawn had a viable investment in Tatooine to help their kingpin in his quest. The story needs some reworking to inject more thrilling tension.As depicted in Star Wars: Rebels, Maul spent the final days of his life on Tatooine, searching for Obi-Wan Kenobi in order to exact vengeance on the old Jedi. The area's layout seems to be an original creation, with the wall texture. Farming is one of the most profitable uses for your Contribution Points, but if you don’t like it. These crops are extremely useful for cooking, upgrading an alchemy stone, obtaining a dream horse, or just selling for profit. The key door leads Mario/Luigi into a maze area, which has Big Boo, several chairs and another key door at the end. Farming lets you pick a plot of land almost anywhere in the world and grow crops on it. Up ahead is a tunnel with a chair and possibly MIPS in it, along with a hole at the end. The Sharpe mansion looks beautiful in a haunted manner. The player spawns in the main room with a checkerboard floor and three doors. It's also unlikely that Carter wouldn't reveal the secret to his daughter. The showy crimson-colored blooms can provide a spectacular show in early to mid-spring. Thus, in addition to forage production situations, it is often used as a winter cover and/or green manure crop. There is no real mystery since the Sharpe siblings lay out their cards early on. Crimson clover makes more growth during cool weather than most clovers and is the earliest-maturing commonly grown clover species. On the other hand, the story lacks thrills or scares. This is a beautiful Gothic horror from Guillermo del Toro. Alan McMichael (Charlie Hunnam) is suspicious as the Cushing fortune is liquidated to the Sharpes in England. Carter is murdered and Edith marries Thomas. His investigator Holly finds something damning and he pays Thomas to leave his lovesick daughter Edith. Carter distrusts the failing aristocrat and his sister Lucille Sharpe (Jessica Chastain). They brilliantly analyze why Bob Connelly's Las Vegas casino Crimson's earnings are down, leading to a croupier being fired. Walter is eager to prove himself and the team's worth by accepting a private case, without Cabe. English baronet Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) has come to America seeking investments from Edith's father Carter Cushing (Jim Beaver) for a clay-mining machine invention. When Team Scorpion goes to Las Vegas on a mission in a casino, Walter is framed for a robbery. Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) has known this since childhood when her mother died and her spirit warned her, "Beware of Crimson Peak." As a young woman, she's trying to publish her ghost story only to face sexism.

Talk Like a Grizzled Prospector Day

Talk Like a Grizzled Prospector Day commemorates the start of the  California Gold Rush, which began on January 24, 1848, when James  Marshall discovered gold while building a saw mill for John Sutter, near  what is now Coloma, California. The day has its roots in International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and was inspired by Prospectors Day, which was once held at Knott's Berry Farm each year on January 24. It also was inspired by an episode of the Simpsons with the following exchange:

Bart: That ain't been popular since aught-six, dagnabbit. Homer: Bart, what did I tell you? Bart: No talking like a grizzled 1890's prospector, consarn it.

Common examples of characters talking like grizzled prospectors in popular culture include Dallas McKennon narrating Disneyland's Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland and Big Thunder Mountain, Gabby Hayes—both drunk and sober—in many Western films, Gabby Johnson in Blazing Saddles, Will Ferrell as Gus Chiggins on Saturday Night Live, and Walter Huston in The Treasure of Sierra Madre.

Prospectors first came to the Sacramento Valley after Marshall found  flakes of gold in the American River near Sutter's Mill, at the base of  the Sierra Nevada Mountains. At the time there were less than 1,000  non-native inhabitants in California. Newspapers began reporting the  discovery of gold, and by August, 4,000 miners had descended on the  area. The first people that came from outside of the territory came by  boat, and arrived from Oregon, the Sandwich Islands—soon to be called  the Hawaiian Islands, Mexico, Peru, China, and Chili.

In December 1848, President James K. Polk announced a report by  Colonel Richard Mason which spoke of the abundance of gold in  California; this prompted more prospectors to travel to the territory.  Throughout 1849, thousands arrived, either traveling by sea or over  land, and became known as '49ers. Mining towns popped up in the area,  and with them came shops, saloons, and brothels. Many mining towns  became lawless, and San Francisco became an important city in the  territory. By the end of 1849, the non-native population had swelled to  100,000. The Gold Rush helped California gain statehood in 1850, and  gold discovery peaked in the state in 1852. In all, more than 750,000  pounds of gold were extracted during the Gold Rush.

The implication of a grizzled prospector is of one who has stayed so  long searching for gold that their hair has turned gray. Some  prospectors refused to quit the profession and continued to live in the  Western territories. So, when Bart Simpson mentioned a grizzled  prospector from the 1890s, he was referring to a prospector that had  stayed more than forty years after the Gold Rush happened, still trying  to find gold, or other commodities such as silver, oil, radium, and  uranium. Besides a gray beard, the stereotypical grizzled prospector had  faded clothes, missing teeth, a pickaxe, and a mule. They had bouts of  gold fever, and were suspicious of whoever came close to their claim.

How to Observe Talk Like a Grizzled Prospector Day

Celebrate the day talking like a grizzled prospector. Here are a few words prospectors commonly used, that you could use today:

Dadburn: to curse; e.g.: "Dadburned boll weevil done 'et my crop!"

Hornswoggle: to embarrass, disconcert, or confuse; e.g.: "I'll be hornswaggled!"

Consarn: the entirety of something, also a curse word.

Dumbfungled: all used up; e.g.: "This claim is dumbfungled! There's no gold left!"

Bonanza: a mine with lots of gold.

Borrasca: a mine with no gold.

Baby buggy: wheel barrow.

Muck: to dig with a shovel.

Powder monkey: a miner who used dynamite to make holes.

Johnny Newcome: a miner new to camp.

Blackjack and saw bosom: coffee and bacon.

Paydirt: land rich in gold.

Panned out: if they had found gold while sifting through dirt with a mining pan, then things had "panned out."

Flash in the pan: something shiny in pan that turned out to be nothing, or just a small piece of gold.

Stake a claim: claim a piece of land as your own as a place to  search for gold, must stake the land with wooden stakes when you arrive.

The day could also be spent watching films such as The Treasure of Sierra Madre, or old Western films starring Gabby Hayes. A visit to the Sutter's Mill replica and the Gold Discovery and Visitor Center in Marshall Gold Discovery State Park could also be planned. The days' Facebook page could also be explored.

Why would you care about statues of slaveholders...?

“

A blogger writes: “Anyone who complains that protestors are destroying “history” when toppling statues knows nothing about actual history.

The Egyptians tried to erase Akhnaten. The Chinese smashed Emperor Qin’s terracotta warriors and stole their weapons. Heaven knows how many religious statues or temples have been destroyed.

Buildings burn. Buildings get bombed. Tapestries erode. Paintings fade. Why don’t these people praise art restoration? Why aren’t they donating to their local museums and historical societies? Why aren’t they talking about the 53 World Heritage sites UNESCO considers to be in danger?

History isn’t just about building things. It’s also about their destruction. Would you say that the statues of Stalin and Hitler should have been preserved? Or the statues of Saddam Hussein? How about the Berlin Wall? No? So why would you care about statues of slaveholders or Christopher Columbus?

Stop using your “academic” concerns to hide your racism.”

Source:

deerhoofandrabbitsfoot

Why indeed? Well, for a majority of living Americans and  Britons, most of the  statues of famous men (and women) are and were  put up to commorate people who made an important, even vital  contribution to national or international life, either as military heroes, or key contributors to the founding or maintenance of these countries, or the defence of these countries against enemies who threatened to destroy them. Names such as Ulysses.S. Grant, defeater of the Confederate armies. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, founders of the American Republic. Andrew Jackson, whose victory at New Orleans made him a national hero. Theodore Roosevelt, who founded America’s system of National Parks. Winston Spencer Churchill, who probably more than any many saved Europe, maybe the whole world, from domination by Fascism and Militarism. Mahatma Gandhi, whose peaceful protests led India to freedom. Admiral Lord Nelson, who saved Britain from invasion. William Gladstone, tireless promoter of Liberalism and the cause of Irish self-determination. Captain Cook, discoverer for the Western World of Australia, New Zealand and the isles of the South Seas. Sir Walter Raleigh, founder of Jamestown, the first English settlement  in North America. And, yes, Christopher f**king Columbus.

None of these great names from history (you know your actual history, don’t you?) was 100% pure from the stain of racism, in some form or other, a stain which now extends, I understand, to those whose fathers were involved in slavery. Barring Abraham Lincoln (wasn’t he President at the time of the Sand Creek massacre, and therefore responsible?) , every single US President owned slaves, (even U.S.Grant, to whom every Afro-American owes a debt of gratitude, you might think). Which for @deerhoofandrabbitsfoot and others like him, or her, means that their memory should be expunged, regardless of their achievements or the good they did in other spheres of life. Their statues - regardless of the wish of the majority of inhabitants of the cities they adorn - should be torn down. No vote, no reasoned debate, no balancing of the good or evil of a man’s life,  just the say so of a small but vocal mob convinced of their own moral rectitude, puffed up with a sense of the own righteousness  and convinced of their right to act independently and without reference to the wishes of the majority of the people and the rule of law. Democracy? F*ck that. ‘I’m right, you’re wrong, nah nah nan nah nah.’ 

But why stop at statues? Hell, let’s let these people do the job thoroughly. A leftist politician in Australia has just demanded that, on her say so, the States of Victoria and Queensland should have their names changed. So.... let’s change the names of the US capital city and the State of Washington. Change the names of cities like Jacksonville, Custer, Reno, Carson City. Flags? The Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes have a blood-stained history- especially as regards Native Americans: bin them both. Land?  stolen. No US citizen should own his house or farm, they should be leased and a rental paid to the nearest Native American tribe. Currency? Too many Presidents, all steeped in blood. Buildings? Every pre-1865 house in the south should be razed to the ground, every ranch in the West destroyed. Mountains? Blow up Mt. Rushmore. Rename Pike’s Peak. 

Yes, the time may well have come, it may well be a time well overdue,  for the removal of Confederate statues....but even the Germans of WWII have their war memorials, even in the countries they occupied. There might be a time and a place for a statue of Irwin Rommel, if not Adolf Hitler. A place for a statue of General Zhukov, if not of Josef Stalin. Even (OMG!) a statue of Robert E.Lee, if not of Jefferson Davis. Let the People, not the mob, decide. Have a vote. 

 If the cause is just, the majority of The People will vote to bring them down;  maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon. Government of the people, for the people, by the people, as the Great Emancipist once said. He didn’t say of the righteous people, by the righteous  people, for the righteous people -even if morally they may be, and perhaps are, 100% right. Though I have to disagree on Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Winston Churchill, Mahatma Gandhi and most of the 78+ names on the BLM UK statue  hit list. Even if they weren’t 100% pure when it comes to racism, the racist bastards.
