Amaze Me

Amaze me




I've been enthusiastic
About solutions for the world
Greed has made things drastic
And what of plaintive songs
And excuses we’ve hurled?

I won’t complain they don’t explain
I suffer in my own device
You have the key to troubles free
While laughing back at the old advice



And you...just amaze me...you
You just amaze me...

I hear and I, I forget
See and I remember
I did in spring, confusing things
To understand December
The feeling of some better time
Already yours, and stolen rhyme
From what is sweet and incomplete
Before these bodies turn to dust
And you believe ‘cause you must
I know it’s true, to truly trust
And you...just amaze me..
You...ooo-ooo, you just amaze me...

I’ve seen the hopelessly burned
Live life with passion
What you’re most without, is without doubt
Set the symbols crashing
I won’t complain, they don’t explain
I suffer in my own device
You know the key, to troubles free
While laughing back at the old advice

And you...just amaze me..
You...ooo-ooo, you just amaze me...
You, you, you, just amaze me...
Amaze me...
Just amaze me.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
