JabberWokky's Journal: Scudder

Here we go, sorry about the lack of posts of late - I have two major projects I'm working on, and one is about to go Beta, meaning I've been working nearly 24 hours a day on it. Blearg.

Re:Heinlein?

[JabberWokky]

Right author - it's from a few books, as Heinlein's Future History is more or less connected, a la how Asimov's Robot, Empire and several other series are all connected. There is one major book that covers him though.

Heinlein is one of my favorite authors - he's written stinkers, but the fact that people disagree as to *which* the stinkers are is very interesting; I have a feeling he just wrote a variety of works that appeal to different people. I don't like Stranger in a Strange Land all that much, and quite like Number of the Beast, putting me at odds with quite a few fans out there. (NotB, to me, is two Doc Savages romping through the universe with sex stirred in, as opposed to Doc's 1930's puritanism. Zeb's lasing the fuel dumps, Doc's mercy bullets - same style of nonlethal solutions. And both got goofy with science for the advancing of the story. It's pulp, but good juicy, fanservice pulp.).

The Cat Who Walks Through Walls?

Isn't Bleargh what the cat said?

Isn't Bleargh what the cat said?

Sad, but off the top of my head, I think it was "Briiit". It's been years since I read the book, but phrases other than "Meow", "Woof" or "Moo" amuse me. I like the "aeiou" for a cat sound used by one author ("The Cat who came for Christmas", maybe?).

chromatic death?!

[mekkab]

Isn't "Bleargh" what Billy Milano said at the end of the S.O.D. (stormtroopers of death) song "Chromatic Death"?

Infact, I know it to be true.
Sorry chums, my knowledge of old heavy metal/punk is vast.

Hmmm, maybe I should have a "spot the music ref" game in my own journal...

but then jabber might sue for copyright infringement... damn!

Scudder

[ceswiedler]

Scudder was the "prophet" in...damn...it was a story in Future History, the book was released as Revolt in 2100.. the title was something like "...And this goes on".

My own Heinlein trivia: what is the connection between Hitler and Scudder?
