The soundtrack only came out on tape, never CD.. at least when I tried to order it from various sources... although Japanese Imports always seem to come up with amazing stuff no one expects to exist.... There are a few good selections for background music, but most of them have lyrics that might interfere with game flow... however, the Miami Vice-esque pieces depicting Graham, Lector, Red Dragon etc are ok. Bruce >>> Stephen Joseph Ellis 09/27/99 11:57am >>> 'Lo All, Always a fan of 'Silence of the lambs' music for building horror as background sounds, I was impressed to see and hear the music for the Red Dragon adaptation 'Manhunter' at the weekend. I was wondering if anyone else had a copy of the soundtrack and if so, how good is it as background music? Anybody know where I can get a copy (afterall, Manhunter was a minor movie from the 80's. Its unlikely that MCA will still be seeling copies.) Many thanks, Steve. "In the long run we are all dead" -John Maynard Keynes ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 14:24:13 EDT From: LizardRoi@aol.com Subject: DG: Men / Women (part 2) Let's take another step back for another POV of the Big Picture. The Sperm Wars. It has been found that you can teach an old sperm new tricks. In some cultures (a very few), adultery on the part of the wife is not culturally frowned upon. In these cultures, it is not uncommon for a wife to have sex with a young lover during her husband's working hours, and have sex with her husband later. For some reason, the children of the union are usually the husband's, in spite of the fact that contraception was not a factor. Look closer. The husband's sperm exhibit new behavior. In addition to racing for the egg, they become hunter-killers of alien sperm. Since they are not equipped with a chemical arsenal, they achieve this by flagellating with their tails and ramming the transgressing tadpoles like Flipper on a shark until the alien sperm is beaten into immobility. It should be noted that the alien sperm doesn't fight back. All together now....hmmmmmmmmm. Then the victor heads on toward the egg unless it encounters other alien sperm. It does not attack it's brothers, and in fact will join a spermbashing in lieu of heading eggward. The old ram doesn't need to butt heads with his rival when his very cells will do the job for him. So, marriage really does change a guy. Competition and cooperation, the nuts and bolts of an ecosystem. Now let's step back in time to our ET heritage and look closely at our (Mythos) roots. The Elder Things were skilled biological technicians. They made shoggoths, the Swiss Army knife of servant races. And they also, allegedly, tampered with primates and made us. Now, shoggoths are versatile and customizable, just the sort of servant for the research labs and elite military units of a luxurious peacetime economy. But then those damn Flying Polyps start getting feisty and it's time to call on Rosie the Primate Riveter. At this point, the altered primates would all be female, reproducing parthenogenetically in an efficient closed system. Each primate servant would be capable of conceiving, carrying and feeding more copies of itself; deviating only by the degree of weathering in the solar wind the DNA is exposed to. Changes in design would be planned and enabled by ET supervisors, not primate libidos. Interchangeability and modularity are essential to manufacturing on a wartime scale. OK, all I'm saying is that's how I would do it if I was CEO of ET, Inc.. But every now and then that ol' Devil Y would would come creepin' 'round, the potential never went away because they were all tailored mammals after all. All you have to do is cripple an X with a random enzyme or particle or simply have a glitch in quality control. Tickle that egg into splitting and you've got a fertile male. Need I point out that I'm grossly oversimplifying? I didn't think so. I'd think that the difference would be readily apparent. Here's a point to ponder: human males have the largest genitals of any primate, both literally and in relation to body mass. I had the dubious honor of seeing an adult male chimpanzee in an aroused state at (of all places) the Disney Studios (hey, it's Disney month on the DGML!). About the thickness of a pencil, and indeed, looked like a 3-inch (7.62 cm) eraser. Big bad silverback Mountain Gorillas are much the same I'm told. The new male primate servants would initially be viewed as flawed. Sporting an outrageous un-primatesque willy that doesn't have the common damn decency to retract into a sheath like any self-respecting mammal's; hirsute, large, strong and aggressive. They can't wear any of the standard safety equipment upon maturity. And they don't play well with others. What to do with the flawed workers? Feed them to the shoggoths? Maybe. But maybe the military was intrigued by the markedly more aggressive behavior of the male workers. Surely that would be worth looking into? And the increased size and strength was worth investigating for industry as well. Some ET entrepreneur might have noticed the differences in infant behavior; female toddlers would stop and cry for help when confronted with an obstacle, while young males would try to climb under or over or go around or (disturbingly) would wail and thrash and attack the obstacle in a fury. Such fanatical dedication to the mission would warm the (hypothetical) cockles of an ET exec's [heart?]. Generals, too. Keep the dick, it's a convenient handle for controlling them and better than a wagging tail for gauging their mood. I think I'm joking. Or, maybe shoggoths prefer free range beefcake. In any case, we have several scenarios to account for what we are or where we came from. Here's a few: ET civilization collapsed and the altered primates continued to reproduce, but using sexual reproduction and thereby accelerating change. We are the result, more or less. Free range males went sniffing after aboriginal females that were agreeable. The discovery of fermentation probably helped there, on both sides. This could account for memes of gods visiting mortal women. I mean, they had to be gods, who else would sport such an outlandish willy? After the ET collapse, the newly sexual primate servants dispersed and eventually blended in with the aboriginal population, leaving only legends, memes, and ourselves. After the ET collapse, the newly sexual primate servants dispersed and eventually conquered and/or replaced the aboriginal population, leaving only legends, memes, and ourselves. And maybe the Basque and Tcho-Tcho in there somewhere. Only the males mixed with aboriginals. Parthenogenetically reproducing females stayed at their posts, and eventually inherited the technology, or as much of it as they could understand. And then they either died out or are still there. Only the males mixed with aboriginals. We are to some extent or another their descendants. Parthenogenetically reproducing females stayed at their posts, maybe some mutated into Tcho-Tcho queens over time. Or with shoggoth tampering. They had their own wars to fight, and guerrillas and rebels use the enemies equipment. With that sort of pedigree, no wonder men and women seem like different species to each other. Maybe love, twue wuv, is encountering a member of the same subspecies. Maybe all our other relationships really are utility, compromise and negotiation with an alien representative. Other mammals aren't such prudish snobs regarding trans-species dalliance. Male dolphins like human females just fine. Male horses react to human females in estrus with obvious interest. Most male dogs don't care about the gender of the leg they are humping. "Nothin' but the dawg in me" As I type this, my Australian Shepherd bitch (nothing like raising dogs to make you sound like a gangsta) is in heat. Tilly is descended from champions and is intact, which brings up complications every year. I'm drafted into the role of farmer in some canine traveling salesman joke, chasing horny barking ne'er-do-wells away from my door. Alright, let's get the tittering out of the way, it gets worse. I'm the Alpha Male of the household. I'm male, any dog with a nose knows that, and I'm careful to behave like an Alpha when dealing with dogs. Whenever you are dealing with dogs, someone is going to take the role of Alpha. The more intelligent and willful (dominant) the dog is, the greater the need to be the acknowledged Alpha in relation to it, if you want it to obey you. Australian Shepherds are one of the most intelligent domesticated breeds known. Being shepherds, they are naturally dominant and willful; good traits when telling a bull where to go when you way about 40 lb. (18 kg). Tilly is descended from 5 generations of obedience champions, which means her line was bred for brains. In short, in most any gathering of dogs, she would be the Alpha Female. Goddamn it, stop that snickering, it isn't funny. OK, it's funny, but stop the chortling anyway. Twice a year, Tilly gets very affectionate. This is manifested by staying close and getting in the way and little things like that. Meanwhile, the other canine in the house, Bogart, spends most of his time shadowing her, whining, with his tongue lolling out farther than normal and his hindquarters in chronic mid-hump. All of this in spite of the fact that he has been licking an empty scrotum since I rescued him from the Pound (it's not negotiable in Los Angeles). But Tilly knows her place in the natural order, and horny Spaniels need not apply. She rebuffs him vigorously with the coiled-spring posture and bared-to-the-gums snarl that is canine for "Don't even *think* about it." He responds by summoning masculine resources apparently unrelated to testicles, and wears her down through persistence. It's like watching The Taming Of The Shrew. If Petrucchio expressed his intentions by humping Kate's head and working his way aft while she was too tired to fight anymore. I put up with the ruckus because the last thing I want to do is break it up like a jealous Alpha. Actually, I'm rooting for him. He takes most of the heat off of me. That's it, (bang bang) I'm gonna clear this message if I don't get a little order. (bang) The animal kingdom's liberal minded stance in regard to human dalliance is well known to those who work with intelligent animals. When filming Monkeyshines, they trainers waited for the female Rhesus to be in estrus for the scenes where the companion monkey groomed and cuddled with her paralyzed master. They didn't have to direct or train, they just filmed the monkey acting naturally. Kind of puts the connection to Deep Ones in a new light, doesn't it? Competition and cooperation, the nuts and bolts of an ecosystem. Ever notice that threads come in male and female? Recommended reading: Dogwatching, by Desmond Morris. ISBN 0-517-56519-6 Chimpanzee Politics: Power And Sex Among The Apes, by Frans de Waal. ISBN 0-06-015113-7. I'd choose this tome before The Art Of War or The Book of Five Rings for learning how to succeed in business without really trying. Also Goodall and Fosse, of course, but I don't have the books at hand.

Note that some narcs were busted on minor charges and weasel-dealed (a term our MIA Sheriff Rushing brought to us) to skank on long-hairs. Then the feds could threaten them with revealing their skanky actions to their newfound friends/drug market.

Being a lazy one, I couldn't finish it. Now, I'd like to thank Mark for causing me to spill the beans. > The Elder Things were skilled biological technicians. They made shoggoths, > the Swiss Army knife of servant races. And they also, allegedly, tampered > with primates and made us. I believe we aren't the first design of ETs. Flying Polyps live in basalt underground cities. Away from water ? Like the Cthonians and the sandworms of Dune ? So ETs designed the Deep Ones. A new civilization, a new laboratory to play with evolution and a new army more controllable, intelligent, creative and stabile than the shoggoths. But things didn't go as ETs expected. As the DOs went deep in the ocean dreaming Cthulhu found his new minions. Using his psychic power he converted the DOs and left the ETs empty handed. A new race more resistent to psychic intrusions of Cthulhu. A new race to control easily in a closed environment because they won't have to do farming or hunting or fruit gathering. All they have to do is eat their dead brethren. A new race to attack the sleeping Polyps deep underground. Guess who ? This again failed because of the reasons I'm not in the mood to think of. But they may be so closed to psychic influence that they become racially introvert. You know, introverts like to dream and live in their own dreams. After a few ages they gained the ability to enter the DreamLands at will. Thus ended the ETs control over them. Learned their lesson well, ETs created a third race from the genes of the first two races. But after all these failýres their civilization is at the brink of extinction. So they hid something in this 3rd race. When a certain time arrive in their evolution, ETs will come back. That's what the Mi-Go suspects and want to learn with all those abductions and mutilations. But, let's -for a minute- substitute the Yithians with ETs. I don't care who created the first two races but after ETs gone, it was the Yithians who got the lesson about creating a servitor race. Look at those silly conical Yithians, with silly tentacles. Why not replace those bodies with a more efficient design ? But, the damn Polyps didn't let them finalize this replacement. Before going forth in time they started a countdown in the genes of this newly created mammals. They will evolve into something that the Yithians found suitable -and the Mi-Go intriguing. Having done so, they travelled to the future to get thier new hosts evolved from the humans. The BUGS ???? Sorry but, I couldn't think of a relation between the evoultion of humans and the bugs. Anyway that's why Yithians come back often and change minds with a poor human. They're controlling, monitoring, fine tuning anf recording their masterplan. Is it me who wrote all these stuff ? I don't know, I was just trying Eckhard's therapy and words came by theirself. What all this got to do with Atlantis and Egypt, Flying Polyps and the Sphinx, Omar Shakti against Alzis, a new drug and renewed activity of Deep Ones ? I'll write later. I mean I hope...

I think it means that if you climb up the ladder to look at his ass, you can see the footprint and the tattoo saying "MiB was here." > Anyway, I wanted to check if anybody has been watching _G vs. E_. The > pilot has two "Heaven cops" G vs. E is the best damn show on TV right now. I especially love how everytime someone mentions how the black guy's car sucks (an orange station wagon with wood paneling in 1999) he tells them that no one would bother with such a hideous vehicle. Then, inevitable fate steps in and the car gets totally dissed - wood panels ripped off to make firewood, windshield shotgunned and removed by the chicos "Turn on the windshield wipers, man!" "There ain't no windshield!" That car gets no respect. I always try to include a running joke like that for every character. The New Republic Diplomat in Star Wars would have every negotiation, no matter how benevolent, end in violence and carnage. Gross icky fungi and slime mold (why is it moving?) would grow on everything, including characters, in Blue Planet. In Vampire it's the fact that every important character is basically mortal, and the PC's are the only group of (very nervous) Kindred in Gotham City (the one with Batman). "Gotta think Masqerade, gotta think Masqerade, can't let Joker become ghoul or kindred, can't let Justice League find haven, can't let Nosferatu explore caverns underneath stately Wayne manor, can't let Ventrue move in on Wayne Enterprises or Lexcorp, can't let Toreador entice Lana Lang, can't let ..." and that's just the mortals. In DG, this sort of running gag should have the potential to turn very very scary. Like the guy who always gets caught playing air-guitar getting caught by the Speedwagon, or the guy who likes pistol whipping punks accidentially pistol whipping a monster and getting devoured.

Some interesting reading: "Survival of the Prettiest - The Science of Beauty" by Nancy Etcoff, published by Little Brown [ISBN 0-316-64371-8]. The title only tells part of the story - Etcoff follows closely (but without Mythos references) Mark's discussion, chimp's family jewels and all. There are some interesting bits about the way our brainbox is geared to react to certain stimuly, and it's a relatively light reading to boot. And this is it - I'll let this discussion pick up before I express my firmly-rooted-in-victorian-morals views on the matter. Later.

I am preaching this for decades: Booze and broken hearts are the best inspiration for every artist, be it author, artist etc. I always wondered how good old HPL got his inspiration.

A lot of the music I grew up on is showing on this list - talk about common cultural roots! >Peter Green & co. with Willie Dixon, Otis >Spaan and the Chess records band. Now, whatever happened to Peter Green (aka Peter Greenbaum) soon after that concert is worth investigating. I've got only John McVie's version of the story - Green was seduced by "two German underage chiks" and pumped full of acid in order to extort him a recording exclusive - but sure the young bluesman changing personality within a weekend, turning his back on the old friends and growing his fingers so long he can't pick a guitar any longer is just too good (and bad) to be left alone. Add the fact that he justified the whole lot with his "following his personal religious beliefs" and you've got a winner. All this without counting Jeremy Spencer disappearing during a tour in LA to pop up anew in a Tibetan monastery a few weeks later.

Note that aerial recon used film as well as photos. I think that by filming certain moving objects (tanks, planes and drills), TECHINT could be obtained. Otherwise, it would just be better to take a pretty picture (why bring a whole film crew?) Other possibilities: - - Rocket launches - - Torpedo tests - - Artillery ranges - - Infantry training - - Factory processes - - Big-@$$ ceremonies? - - stock footage of Hitler & Himmler "doing the nasty" > Was John Ford in fact a DG agent? Naw, after he saw some of the things Hitler and Heinrich "Little Bitch" Himmler were up to, he became a gay porn star and later directed some of the most gruesome snuff-porn of the 50's and 60's (all disguised as Westerns, Murder Mysteries or other formulaic devices). These American classics gained royal approval and many highly impressionable young folk turned away from scientific and painless lethal chambers in order to flock to Hollywood and die painfully but artistically in the tinsel meatgrinder. The fifties also saw the rise of beat poets who would literally beat people to death while reciting rhymes or free verse. DeathArt houses became common as people attempted to die in the most dramatic fashion possible, and many came to watch or slash themselves and/or others to death with slivers of bone made from those who died in a similar manner. The sixties introduced psychotropic drugs to the "death scene" and often led to unexpected public attacks on people anywhere and everywhere. Most people just submitted quietly. The primary political movement at this time was of course, the demand for nuclear weapons to be used on other countries at random, as France and the Soviet Discord were doing. There were demands in the United Nations that disadvantaged countries should be given priority in the nuclear lottery. This culminated in waves of angry protesters fighting an undeclared war in Canada, ending only when the Kingdom of California launched a decisive nuclear strike on the Vietnamese capital of Saigon. This action was cheered by the people, but greatly displeased the Imperial American Regency, which send in troops from the Kingdom of Vancouver, and began airstrikes from the Kingdom of America, where the original seven colonies still maintained some sort of societial order. The war with California lasted until 1980 when newly appointed Imperial Regent Walter Mondale signed a peace treaty dissolving the Regency. The next day, Californian King Ronald Reagan reinstated the Regency and assigned former Californian Warlord John Wayne to guard the Imperial Throne. The appointment of the wildly popular Wayne was to lead into a new era of death, as technological breakthroughs and artistic sensibilities combined to lower the population as never before. The nineties finally allowed a global nuclear lottery to be fully instated, and city after city became depopulated by the increasingly popular neutron bombs, which allowed tourists and those dwelling in rural areas to loot the newly dead cities and enjoy a riotous cannibalistic, necrophiles feast before perishing of horrible radiation injuries. ...wait, that the *other* dimension.
