ROOTLESS COSMOPOLITANISIM
STRIKE FOR INDOLENCE & SPIRITUAL BEAUTY
CHAOS NEVER SLEEPS
RUST NEVER SLEEPS
SNAKE DEMONS AND COW DRAGONS
WHERE THERE IS DOUBT THERE IS GUILT
MOTHER IS DEAR, FATHER IS DEAR BUT MYSTERIUOS DELTAR RAYS ARE DEAREST OF ALL
AWAY WITH ALL PESTS
LACKIES OF MILUKOVINISM
Some of these are "sincere" slogans of International Tomunism, others
are meant to rouse public apprehension & misgivings, but I�m not sure which are which.
Some Delta Ideas Still Sadly Languish in the Realm of "Conceptual Art"
I need only mention in passing that there is a Curious Reappearance of the Delta Rays tradition in the popular Godzilla cycle of films which arose after the Nuclear Chaos unleashed upon Japan. In fact, the Symbolic Details in the evolution of Godzilla filmic �popular� parallel in a quite surprising way the traditional Japanese and Chinese mythological and folkloric themes of combat with an ambivalent chaotic creature (some of the films, like Mothra, directly recalling the ancient motifs of the cosmic egg/gourd/cocoon that is usually tamed, after the failure of the civilized order, through the special and indirect agency of children.
Happy birthdays to both Jajadude and Bobster. They have been around for awhile and
I make this stuff up out of boredom, not that I make much of this up, as a form of art.
I have a new idea suitable for such occasions as your birthdays.
Commemorative bronze plaques easily made in Itaewan to commemorate important occasions, any personal or public experience. Feel free to attach them public or private to any site worthy of note say an orgasm or revelation you may have had.
Since I�m on line again I will even mention your birthdays to Ms. Riefenstahl, the Manson family members and some other nut I met on line who for the moment, I seem to have selective amnesia, a major player in 20th Century strangeness. I remember being shocked by the response.
Have fun, be nice to the kids.

You guys think about time and history. Happy birthdays!

Are you in heaven or hell? I am curious, since I believe Ms. Riefenstahl died quite recently.

Well I'm glued into my Google and Webcrawler toolbars 24 hours a day aren't I? 24/7 That is me!

Anyway happy birthdays Jajadude and Bobster and I, kind of liked the quote from whatever news source paraphased as Riefenstahl could have made home movies of Hitler being nice to his dog into "art." Maybe not but at least I wrote to her and tried to discuss her role in the world with her.

I guess the point is that say Jajadude and Bobster are old enough to appreciate my odd sense of humor. Happy Birthday!

Riefenstahl was odd enough to rationalize things as "it seemed like a good idea at the time." She knew the irony, and sick humor of writing that to me.

I'm a nobody. I liked that she would would write to me and tell me about her life. I don't think think the she just answered "fan mail" from skin heads.

Yeah she was a serious "rat" but at least she knew it. I for one am very saddened by her demise. I liked her e-mails. Next time you guys are jumping up and down so excited about what a work of art Pulp Fiction is, you might think about being real trash in this world is.

She really blew it. Her attempt at "defecting" and being laughed at it is heart breaking. I liked her because she really "blew it" she really messed up badly. She really f--kd up on a big time level.

People do that. It easy to get caught up in things, and then... It all seemed like a good idea at the time. "I was so cute, I was so hip, I was a wavelet on the great surge of historical necessity."

She was an a monster but nothing more than any of us could become.

She was nice to me when many people were not.

Try to be nice to the kids, so much for being "cool and hip".

I turn the computer off at times, even for weeks at a time, out here with the rubes and the cows, I'm often not so sharp at times.

A rootless cosmopolitan.

Incidently Posco's trumpet I loved your site of Soviet jargon. Very cool!
How the h--l did you you dig this thing up from?

Do you spend time searching these things?

It just pops in your mind I'll go looking for "Communist jargon." I'm not laughing at you or insulting you.

An odd site! One has to wonder why create the site? Not that I'm promoting a conspiracy angle.

It is nice that somebody is doing it.

I take pride in the fact that I'm a "vrag naroda".
