Pet Names, Anyone?

Pet Names

“That’s not bad…you should become an advice columnist,”

said the handsome veterinarian, helping Abigail’s pet

out of his own pocket at the clinic. When her teaching job dries

up as her career begins, that piece of advice becomes the new

way Abigail makes her living. But the person who gave it will

hardly return the favor and take the advice: “let love into your life.”



There’s your back of the book quote; it’s useful to have an end in sight, after all, LOL. In theory, PET NAMES is the title. Well, then, we’re almost there, right?

Abigail (?) or just Abby to most who know her takes her sick animal to the clinic. Doctor there has a tiny assistant, his precocious niece Merriwyn or just Merri, with her knack for recalling pets by name and zeal to help at the age of five…

Well, you can see the possibilities from there, friends. Now what I wanna do is weave in suggestions and hear stories from teaching, your pets, health care, or whatever life experience you feel like sharing. While I understand the vet who deals with a painful secret and a shattered home life leaving him emotionally distant, and while over the standard course of pages he’ll eventually learn to make an appointment for love :-d ,
I’ve still not settled upon any part of his name.
At this point, anything is up for grabs, but if I include details from friends, it makes a cool way for anyone at all to get involved with something creative without having to devote much more time than it takes to read this! When it’s all finished, we’ll remember we did it together, and that’s one thing no one can ever take away. OH, yeah, and if I’m going to put together 190 to 250 pages of any one story, you can bet we’ll try to take our laughs all the way to the bank! But, I can spell, I can make the time, and it’s the one thing I can get the most of you to check out and share, which is really too cool, and when before could the process ever be done this way? So pass your stories along to

Integr8dsoul@gmail.com or my social pages.

Your friend Cecil

The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition- this day, 1985!

Thirty three years ago, today! (That is, August 27th, 1985) Oh, the stories these opened up for me. Alphabetically, fans could find every character still living who'd made at least three appearances, as well as many brand new lights. Origins, major life events, stories from twenty-five years of great Marvel continuity. You could even find out how tall, how heavy, or what color eyes the character should have, which sort of personalizes them and makes them all the more easy to imagine. You could find some description of every single power a character has, and often, see an Eliot R. Brown- illustrated blueprint for their best known weapons, vehicles, and acoutrement. But what could ever be more fuel for debate than : STrength Level! I was eleven when the series started, so of course I still found this part cool and interesting. Fans have been debating the strength levels of their favorite heroes and villains since comics began, so here was the sometimes controversial but

Lost World of Apes: the Bili and Mangani

-

Mangani is the name of a fictional species of great apes in the Tarzan novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and of the invented language used by these apes. In the invented language, Mangani (meaning "great-ape") is the apes' word for their own kind, although the term is also applied (with modifications) to humans. The Mangani are represented as the apes who foster and raise Tarzan. Dr. Peter Coogan wrote a page on the synthetic language created for the Mangani and Tarzan, provided here in pdf: http://www.pjfarmer.com/woldnewton/Mangani.pdf The language of the great apes of Africa that Edgar Rice Burroughs depicts in the Tarzan novels is not some simple, made-up collection of sounds substituting for English. It is a representation of a deeply structured, complex linguistic sign system with a grammar and syntax of its own. This grammar has never been worked out because its last living native speakers (with the exception of Tarzan himself) went extinct in the last century. Unfor

Eminem's Rap God sample: that's Captain America and the Falcon, from Power Records!

What do Eminem and most Integr8d Fix readers have in common? Comic books, man. As a boy, I had two Power Records, a brand that released dramatized versions of comic books on 45 rpm, complete with a book sampling most of the comic's artwork. The first was a stand-alone Superman adventure I think was written by Elliot S! Maggin, where aliens fell to earth in the form of silver-hued bullets. The second one, I only had the record, but it was intense: Captain America and the Falcon confront the mystery of The Phoenix, a man whose thirst for revenge is born from Cap's battles in the world war before his frozen suspension. I didn't get hooked on Eminem's 2013 release "Rap God" until I was putting together a hip hop playlist this September. Not unlike when Anj and I discovered Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre back in college, I was wrestling with an angry mood over someone who cheated me of recording time after I gave up eleven Sundays of my life to give...his initials
