Jean-Claude Garot: Snoopy versus the Red Baron

Op 16 juli 1986 krijg ik een artikel uit “The Bulletin” van 16/5/86 toegestuurd over Jean-Claude Garot (°oktober 1941) door Johannes Bresseleers als documentatie voor mijn stuk “Snoopy versus the Red Baron” dat ik wilde schrijven naar aanleiding van het merkwaardige feit dat de vroegere “revolutionair” Garot (van “Pour”) nu een duur Amerikaans wielertijdschrift (“Winning”) uitgeeft en nog elf…

I loved the experience of growing up being a fan of people like Markiplier, Jacksepticeye or Try Guys while not yet really knowing english.

It was like I don't understand but I love the vibe

I have 4 ideas I am bouncing around and a pretty much free week before I start updates again. So trying to decide on which to concentrate on.

Monthly book reviews: 2025

Reviews of 2024: https://www.tumblr.com/theflyingpimphat/772473279372017664/december-2024-the-obelisk-gate-spiderlight-myth?source=share

To reduce my book pile of shame, I do short reviews of the books read every month, as part of the reading challenge is to finish at least two a month. The books read and reviewed are mostly sci-fi and fantasy of variable age. The synopses and reviews are put under the cut to preserve space; they also contain spoilers.

January 2025

When Harry met Chunglie: It was Murder; The Return of Nathan Brazil; Player of Games

When Harry met Chunglie: It was Murder, Jack Q. McNeil

Language: English

Synopsis: Chunglie, a cybernetically-augmented, vaguely centipede-like alien wakes up in the cargo department of a spaceship, together with a bunch of other people who turned out to be drugged and locked up there. After they manage to get out of the cargo, they discover that a bunch of people on the ship are dead, and that its course is set to crash into a planet in a few hours. Chunglie and Harry, an investigator whose father didn't want to break with a naming tradition just because he had a daughter, try to find out who was involved in the crime and how to prevent the crash.

Review: A fairly short and amusing murder mystery which I regret to have read after finishing writing the 18. A to Z episode, as it was thematically similar. A lot of the humour stemmed from Chunglie not understanding humans, like asking if they reproduce asexually when noticing there is one person more than previously counted. The clues to who did it were either laid out poorly, or I haven't noticed them properly, considering I don't usually read murder mysteries. I'm certainly excited to see what will follow.

The Return of Nathan Brazil, Jack L. Chalker

Language: German (Rückkehr auf die Sechseckwelt)

Synopsis: Around 700 years after the previous book's events, a mind-controlling microorganism begins to take over the Milky Way's population. A war between the possessed and the uninfected breaks out, brought to an end with a weapon engineered from Zinder's research, which deletes an area of sime-space and everything inside it. While it wins the war, the hole starts to grow and will comsume the entire universe at some time, unless it damages the Wellworld computer and causes its end even earlier. To stop the process, Mavra Chang and Obie have to find Nathan Brazil, the only person who is able to fix the already damaged computer and the spacetime hole. While they manage to find him with the aid of Olympian cultists, he at first refuses to do it, because it would require the computer to be rebooted and with it, the universe would cease to exist. After he is convinved that ending it now and allowing the universe start anew is better than having it end irreparably after a few millenia, the ensemble travels to the Wellworld and undergoes the usual process of being assigned to a random hexagon and being transformed into its native intelligent species. Their plan to get Brazil to the Well of Souls involves the world being flooded with the cultists, which leads to the natives defending themselves against the new arrivals, ultimately ending with Brazil's death.

Review:

The ending of the book makes it pretty obvious that the story stretches over two ooks, even more obviously than the last two books. The Wellworld was visited lately in the book, but it was nice to see how the galaxy looks like for a change.

Player of Games, Iain M. Banks

Language: English

Synopsis: Partially because of boredom, partially because of being blackmailed by a drone after having been talked into cheating by it, Jernau Gurgeh embarks on a flight to the Azad Empire to compete in the game of Azad, a highly-complex game that determines the rank of those competing in it. At first he is seen as entertaining, but since he keeps winning, there are attempts to stop him, like assassination attempts, coercing him into bets to have him castrated or offering an island complete with an estate and slaves if he drops out. Gurgeh manages to stay in the game up until playing against the emperor, who would rather kill the entire entourage including himself rather than losing; it turns out that he was told Gurgeh's win would mean the Culture would invade the Azad Empire and Gurgeh was essentially used as a gaming piece by the Culture to usher in the Empire's downfall.

Review: A massive improvement compared to Consider Phlebas. On one hand, it finally showed the Culture properly (the author was quite the visionary, predicting deepfakes and health-monitoring smartwatches), on the other hand, it avoided the previous book's shortcomings by not having any overdrawn action sequences, although some scenes did drag. It also lends itself well to analysis: the equality of Azad on paper against the reality where it's rigged in favour of the elite, how people are game pieces in the hands of the mighty, or which factors led to an outsider winning over those playing the game from birth.

Every picture... speaks a thousand words... and holds an interesting story...

... Class Divide

(Photo taken by Jimmy Sime on July 9, 1937, outside the Grace Gates at Lord’s Cricket Ground during the Eton vs Harrow cricket match).

The two dapper upper-class boys on the left were Harrow students Peter Wagner and Thomas “Tim” Dyson, awaiting Wagner’s father to pick the two of them up to take them to their country home in Surrey.

The three working-class boys on the right were George Salmon, Jack Catlin, and George Young, 13-year-old pupils at the local Church of England primary school.

Tim Dyson, the taller of the Harrow boys, sadly died a year after this photo was taken, after he fell ill visiting his father’s army post in Trimulgherry, India. Dyson was 16 years old. More tragedy befell his family, as his father, captured by the Japanese during the fall of Singapore in February of 1942, died in a Japanese prison camp in Korea in November of 1942.

Peter Wagner worked at his family’s stockbroker firm, married, and had three children. He died at Hellingly Psychiatric Hospital in East Sussex in 1984 at age 60.

The three working-class boys seemed to fare better. George Young and George Salmon were each married when interviewed for the Daily Mail in 1998. Young started a window-cleaning business and set up his four sons in the same trade. Salmon passed away in 2000. Jack Catlin, widowed and remarried, died in January of 2011 at the age of 85, survived by his wife Shelia, his son, daughter, and grandchildren.

N7 Fav oc ship. Jack and Shy. I will not explain the backstory of both, but I will give a description. Shy is an assassin of the order of the Time Knights, her job is to eliminate targets then risk to change the time, to be more specific she is specialised in human target, she have the power to change camouflage. Jack, for her description there is only one way, take Loid Forger form SpyXFamily, Barney Stinson from How I met your mother, put them together, ad a sprinkle of British accent, a lot of lesbian essences and just a little of bottomness, and this is Jack; she is immortal plus have the power to travel through time. They met during a Shy mission, she had Jack as a target, but Jack is immortal, Shy is is trying to kill her meanwhile Jack is trying to go on with her own mission plus flirt with Shy, with the continued of failure other Knights were going to try to complite Shy mission, unsuccessfully, and the two start to work together for a while and they start to get along and closer with time. They have a sime sort of enemy to lover dynamic.

N10 fav oc design. Halstein Hreggdjurr, sea dragon, member of the Hreggdjurr family, clan and fleet. He is the younger twin brother of the Jarl (the ruler), Sigmund, and been a second born mean then he doesn't have to have any responsibility about politics, so he spend his life traveling and partying on his ship, every member of the family have one and he modify his to look like a giant stage for a metal concert, in fact he love music and singing, he had as a gift form the Lord Bree Dregfire a eletric axe guitar made of dragonite steel, basically indestructible. In fact the Hreggdjurr are most of a mediator between the other two family, Dregfire and Qìnglong, and keep a good relationship with most of the other species. Halstein doesn't have kids, but he has two nieces form his brother, Hanna and Frida, which he teaches important knowledge like, having good taste in music, hunting and how to eat a human, the answer is let the coupes marinate in sea water.
