Hello All I've been visiting this board over the last few years and can now recognize the author of a post pruely from the phraseology and wording of it. Furthermore, combined with the little bits of personal information given by each, I've created a picture in my mind of the whole cast of character. You guys are a varied, amusing and lively bunch. That being so, the images I have were calling out to be scenes of a movie. Now remember, this is nothing but total fiction for fun and I hope you all receive it with that in mind. The first scene opens up with a visual view of all the characters being seen one at a time sitting at their PC's in various modes/moods of participation with thier PC's. Some are feverously typing away while others are seen laughing, cussing, jumping up and down or sitting in deep thought contemplating thier next post. Quizzical can be seen on some yet another is obviously upset at what they've just read. **THIS DIRECTOR LOVES THE CLOSEUP CAMERA ANGLE. hE'S A BELIEVER THAT THE USE OF SPECIAL EFFECTS HAS RUINED AND SPOILED SOME OF TODAYS DIRECTORS AND MOVIES THUS LEANS HEAVILY ON THE POSITION OF THE CAMERA. HE FAVORS SIMPLE "PANS" SCANS, CLOSEUPS, SWEEPS, FADE IN'S AND OUTS. QUICK 1-3 SECOND FACIAL SHORTS HELPS HIM SET A TONE AND IS USED THROUGHOUT. THIS TECHNIQUE CAN BE SEEN AS AMATURISH IF NOT HANDLED CORRECTLY. HOWEVER HE MESHES THIS SHOT WITH PERFECTLY OVERLAPPING AUDIOS/MUSIC THAT ENHANCE THE SCENE. Again, this is fiction for fun. Also I am not going to edit this so it's rough. The next scene is a closeup of a couples hands, slowly breaking from each with one trying in vain to reunite. As this is happening one is heard saying, "why" **pause** "why do you have to go". The next shot is a closeup of the mans face. He continues to plead for her to stay with a hurt look on his face. The camera pulls out to a full view of the womens body and face. Cynique then sofly and reassuringly tells her lover, "you know I love, you know I've always loved you but I can't". The conversation continues with him pleading, begging and asking numerous questions about her marriage, her love for her husband and him. The sofe templed music that was playing in the background starts to fade out with the scene switching between closeups of him and her. The next scene is a pan around view of a nicely decorated kitchen. The scene shifts to a variety of pots and pans on the stove. A hand is seen stirring one of the pots. The camera pans out to show a view of a portly clean-cut kind of man with an apron tied around him. Some of the pots are boiling with steam coming off them. As the man reaches for his apron and wipes the sweat from his forehead a voice can be heard in the background saying, "Thumper, boy you'd better not be drippin' sweat in that food". A closeup of Thumper shows playful disdain as he yells back, "hush up mom, who's cookin' this dinner, besides my sweat ain't gonna do nothin' but make it taste better". He follows that statement with a hearty laugh as the camera pulls back and leads a path through a hallway and out, exposing a nice neat home except for a spare room that is clutteres with books and magizines. His mother is seen talking on the phone while watching Oprah on TV. Thumper loves his mother, he wasn't raised by his father. Thumper's house had recently been burgularized. His mother had come over to help him inventory his home. We learned via their conversation that Of special importants to him were his prized BOOKS, two of which he had "borrowed" from the local University that were priceless. He had intended to return them but.... The next scene shows an open trunk of a car. The trunk closes showing the emblem, it's a lexus. The scene widens showing a groomed yard in a middleclass neighborhood. The next scene is in the house. A jovial man 30ish of medium build dressed in creased jeans is laughing, smiling and playing with one of his children. The world is his. The man could always be found with a smile on his face, he's content. His wife is seen in the kitchen cooking hamburgers. The other daughter is in the den practicing on the piano. Life is good for ABM, good job, nice family and loved by all. The next scene shows ABM crisply walking to what appears to be his home office. Before he sits down at his PC, he cracks his knuckles and says, "lets see, who am I going to "F*&K with this time" whereupon he breaks out with another one of his trademark laughs. It's of a sinister variety. His son had been ill lately and an operation might be warranted. All the members of the family had given blood sample for testing just in case theirs was a needed. (More and more people are storing their own blood for future emergencys) The family had been waiting on the test results. The phone rang. The camera shows ABM walking over to the phone and he picks it up and says his usual "hello, this is ABM your dime my time, make is snappy,....happy. As ABM listened the camera zoomed in to a closeup of him with a look of concern on his face. He glanced at his wife and she back at him. There was silence. ABM suddenly said, "oh yes, I'm here, we'll be right over". Next we see the insides of a grand looking office, plush carpeting, deep redwood furniture, with elegant pictures adorning the walls. The camera closes in on a whiff of smoke rising from behind a newspaper. The camera swings around the paper an shows the smoke coming from a pipe. The person holding the pipe is a black man about 50ish wearing an unusual outfit. As the camera panned out, we see the man turning papers while saying, "niggers, they ain't nothing but a bunch of nigger, the white man right, they need to send the bunch of them all back to africa. He continued talking to himself as he stood up and looked out the large glass window at the view of the vast landscaped outside. "negros" he continued, "can not do anything right, look at that garbage they are calling literature". The camera pulls back to show a wall full of books. INPRINT, better known as Bookfather is seen walking over to the books and running his fingers lightly over them in a delicate loving way. A closeup of INPRINT found him in an almost dream like state until a voice rang out. "Inprint, Inprint" the voice yelled. The camera pulls out while he appears to be scrambling around fixing up the room. Again the voice can be heard yelling "BOOKFATHER!...BOOKFATHER what is his damn name". INPRINT scurried over to the window to let the smoke out that came from Mr. Buckwalter prized cigars. The scene switches back to Mr. Buckwalter, the president of the country club of which INPRINT worked on the weekend to help pay his support payments for the 3 children he had fathered by different women. As the scene starts to fade out, we can hear Mr. Buckwalter saying "Niggers, they ain't nothing but a bunch of niggers".(fade out) The scene opens in a bedroom, a small women is sitting on the end of the bed tiddying up herself. It appears that she and her partner had just finished making love because of the rumbled bed and her general disposition. We can hear the shower running in the background as Yukio talks to the person in the room. The Camera pans around the apartment. Everything seems to be neatly in place. The books are aligned in alphabetical order. The clothes in the closet are arranged by colors. The camera stops on Yukio as she says to her partner, "will I be seeing you later today?". There was no answer. Yukio starts making the bed and again speaks to her lover, this time saying it a little louder thinking the running water was drowning out her voice. Again she recieved no reply. Yukio prided herself on intellegent conversation. She was an "ABC" kind of women, everything had it place and purpose. She was small of stature yet extremely intelligent and found it hard to find a mate with similar beliefs and common goals. After making the bed, putting the final tuck in just the right place, she decided to find out what was taking her companion so long. The closeup camera view of Yukio hand turning the knob widens to a shot of the door opening to expose a figure laying face down on the floor of the bathroom. Yukio screamed as she ran over to the body. In slow motion we see Yukio turn the body over to expose a women in her 20's with tight cropped hair and light complection. A tight shot of blood was seen leaking from around the body. Yukio Screams "HELP! OH MY GOD! HELP!". As the camera view widens and pans out we can hear Yukio desperately screaming, "LINDA!....LINDA!". The camera pulls back and out the window to a view of a campus type housing area while we hear Yukio's faint crys for help. The scene opens with a closeup view of the backcover of Kola Boof's book "Long Train to the redeeming SIN which shows the author is a nude pose from the waist up. Large dark nippled breasts are exposed leading a pair of bright eyes gazing out in a haunting way. The book is then picked up by a pair of older looking hands. Hands that appeared to be weathered and worn. The Camera pulls back not yet exposing the man behind the hands but scans the room in a slow mysterous manner. The music that we hear is that of a slow rhythmic bass or drum, stopping in unisum with the camera. The camera turns and stops as a faint image of Carey is seen sitting half clothed in the darkened room. He has a sad look on his face as he stared into the darkness. Paper where strewn about the room. Dust was outlined spaces is which books used to rest. A gun is seen resting atop a Millers beer can. The phone rings and rings and rings. Carey, seemly obivious to the sound does not move. The camera zooms in on Carey's motionless face, his eyes are closed. The camera fade to black. The next scene opens inside a house. A very nice upscale house, one could call it luxurious. The only odd thing about this house is the abnormal amount of mirrors throughout. Press clippings are framed and mounted on the walls, the wording of which are not distinguishable. Again we find are Thumper's Corner postee with a mate. The camera shows us a side shot of the person sitting in front of one of the many mirrors singing a song to the tune of "oh what a beatiful morning". Her words can be heard quit clear, we hear "oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beatiful "me", "everythings coming up roses, everyones talkin' bout "me". From the adjoining room we hear a voice say, "you don't love nobody but yourself and all your money" "you have me come over here when your husbands out of town to make yu feel young, I know that, but that's fine with me because although you may be older....I mean older than me, you still got it baby. And of course I don't mind all the nice gear you buy me either, so keep on pattin' yourself on the back and I'll keep pattin' that ass". The camera zooms in on "jane" the best selling author of Black Erotica. She smiles as Hot Donny swaggers towards her. She leans towards him and says, "Tell me, ain't I fine, ain't I rich, tell me". The camera pans towards Donny showing him srugging his shoulder while saying "yeah baby, you fione!, can I get a few mo hundred to put in my pocket". "yeah baby" she says "I gotta get on line and tell everybody about my bisssnez". As Jane leaves the room Donny helps himself to a few of her credit cards while saying "I'll see how much you love me" (fade to black) The next scene opens in St Louis. The radio is playing and Chris is listening to one of his taped programs (fade to black) The next Scene opens with the sound of a door bell ringing. a women appears carrying a child on her hip. We hear the phone start to ring, the PC his saying "you got mail" . The baby starts to cry and the food on the stove is boiling over. Tee falls to the floor and she too starts to cry. (fade to black) To Be Continued | ||

Are we gonna catch ABM and Kola in the act? **Big Smile** Is Book Father and IN PRINT the same guy for real? How about Troy and Thumper? Are they the same person? Will their be special guest appearances by famous authors who've come here before? BOOYYY is this good! This is fun! I bet a lot of people will come here now just to catch up on their favorite soap!!! Could Thumper's dad ALSO be Troy's dad? | ||

Okay Hooked, settle down. If the host doesn't mind I have many more scenes already written and ready ta go. Now to answer some of your questions. NO, ABM and Kola will not be doing the tango. Book Father and IN PRINT are one in the same. Troy and Thumper.....? There most definitely will be guest appearances by famous authors, it's in the can. There is however more of Thumper's gang that have yet to make an appearance. Don't ask who! I will say that two are struggling writers, 2 are teachers, 2 are poets and one is a grandmother. DON'T ask who! Don't be surprised if you see an actor or two show up. Here's a few hints: A famous writer is not really doing his/her own writing. Drama on Interstate 365 Call the police, It's MURDER! Chris gets a speeding "ticket". Hooked, remember stay cool. You might find yourself on a page  , you are by the way visiting ( ORGAN MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND INCREASES) **In a slow voice we hear the narrator say** THUMPERS cORNER. | ||

Sadly, I am not Book Father, but nice try. I wonder though, why did you think that? I am much younger, and (according to his recent post) I am also much much poorer. I do like books, and am a father, so close! For verification, Thumper can see peoples IP addresses, and unless Book Father is breaking in my apartment in the middle of the night, then they should be different. Thumper also knows who I am in the physical world. Thumper and Troy are two different people, who look nothing alike. A trip to BEA will verify that. I don't know if you should single out female posters for sex scenes, but besides that, keep it coming! | ||

Awww Anonymous. Gotta petition one thing. Didn't you read the sexual tension tween ABM and Kola around here all those months? They were the Rhett and Scarlett! ABM the only one that could tame that broad. You just gotta have one scene where ABM musses up old crab mouth and shuts her up with a good old fashioned bend over!!! Snake Girl would like that! He was the only one who could have handled her. They could meet on the Route 66 Motel. I've been secertly wondering what happened to that duo **WINK** since the Real ABM never says anything about it. But notice, he was missing from here for about a month! I wouldn't be surprised she turned up stuffed in the trunk of that LEXXUS! | ||

Oh Ho! So "Captain" Hooked has been keepin’ tabs on good ol’ ABM. Why I didn’t know yawl cared. Ok now. Slow down and catch ahold of yerself (Hmmmm. Come to think of it, maybe that’s EXACTLY what you had in mind.) Fear not for our boisterous Sudanese warrior-princess. She is indeed well-n-whole (as best I can tell). But I have intentionally avoided discussing her because the last time I did so, such a row ensued that the entire post was deleted. But seriously though, yawl you don’t REALLY wanna see how deep I can get down. I could make even the lascivious Zane blush. And you don’t wanna know what’s going on between ‘her’ and Yours Truly. Well, actually, you do wanna know...but I ain’t tellin’. HEHEHE!!! | ||

Anonymous...I am not IN PRINT. Although I agree with bout everything that guy says, we are not one in the same. I sell books, not read 'em. I used to write for two major Southern newspapers, but that was years back and I basically wrote what the editor told me to write. I definitely dont see our people as "niggers". Far from it. We didn't come here niggers and we havent' turn into any. We are Americans of color. Interesting little story you got going here, however. I will be checking in to see how it turns out. ABM, please point me to any threads where there is gratuitous sexual tension between you and Madame Hyperbole? I would like to view those. I've enjoyed reading what little stuff there is by her but I wasn't here when she used to "throw up" on the boards as a regular, although my wife and I heard about it. | ||

Book Father, I know who IN PRINT is. Lets not forget one small fact, this is fiction! BTW, I am aware of Thumper's ability to itenify IP addresses. Thumper knows who I am, I'm sure. Not to say that he blessed my movie script. But he knows me and believe me, he would have no problem in letting me know (by e-mail or phone) what's on his mind. If you've noticed I've only chosen members of his crew that are self assured type individuals to parody, to include in the movie. Like Cynique told a postee the other day, if you have a thin skin this might not be the place to post. Thousands never post yet the regulars do so without fear. They are couragous, opinionated, open type people, whom I assume will take their inclusion for what it is, fun fiction. Besides, this is just one little spot on Thumper's Wonerful Corner. | ||

Wow, I am thrilled at some of the responses, especially the ones with the suggestions. I have to laugh at how some wish to be portrayed. We all wish to be in a love triangle with stunning beauties. ** Big Smile** Chris, I see you more as Samual Jackson. ABM, I have an image of Chestnutt for you. Yukio, Halle is written all over you. Thumper, in you I see a Forrest Whittiker. Cynique is none other than the vivacious Lena Horn. Carey, when I think of you I see an older looking Danny Glover. My character Jane, is Vivica Fox or maybe the strikingly beautiful Vanessa Williams. Sista Sojouhn oops. Tony "Morris" oops Walter Bosby (himself) | ||

Dang A-Non! First you have me half naked sitting in a dark room with a gun and can of Miller's beer ( I hate Miller's, I'm more of a Cognac man), and the only women you gave me was on the back of a bookcover. Kola Boof is seductive but you should have known that the smallest mention of her name could stir the natives. I hope I don't do anything crazy with that gun  . Like the other regulars, no harm, no foul, press on. | ||

Carey is MUCH younger and more attractive than Danny Glover. Carey is REALLY cute. Somebody showed me his picture of him and Anne once. And Yukio as Halle? Come on now!! No way. I imagine Yukio to look like Suzan Lori Parks with huge bulging eyes and a "twitch". Probably watching her fiber intake and wears glasses when she's reading all that academic data she blesses us with. ABM should be played by Eddie Murphy. Seriously! Chris, I believe, would look like Ishmeal Reed or Cornel West. Cynique we've all seen on the back cover of her novel. Miss Kitty from GUNSMOKE is more accurate. I always see Thumper to be waving his finger around and dragging his left foot as he walks. Wide hips, fat booty--fluffy stomach. Mouth curled and ready with a snide comment. Now Kathleen Cross is really pretty. She could be the Lena Horne girl. Mary J. Blige would make the perfect ZANE. I see IN PRINT as Willis from Different Strokes right after he got outta jail this last time and his white wife got his house and all his money. Right after he claimed she was the ONLY one who stuck by him from thick and thin. LOL Steve Harvey would be a good BOOK FATHER. Angela Bassett could be Tee Royal and Tracy Price Thompson could play SisGal. Terry McMillan could be a dead ringer for "Soul Sister". Grace Jones could play Kola who turns out to be a man after her wig gets snatched off by Thumper and Cynique! LOL You could have Naomi Campbell play her for the scenes where she uses her rock hard silicone bags to get Troy Johnson to promote her book outrageously for FREE on his web site--then switch to Grace Jones for the drag queen revealing. The black principal from Boston Public would make the perfect Troy Johnson! But who's gong to play Eric Jerome Dickey..the person who is WRITING this movie thread? ***GOTCHA***** | ||

I like her new book cover for Nile River Woman--that's on my "to read" list now. I was also struck by her life story/career. Talk about larger than life!! Yolanda Adams could play a good Kola, Lurkette. I picture ABM as more of a Billy Dee Williams type brotha. QUESTION--How can I find Cynique's book? What is your real name Cynique?

I was supposed to be building web pages and got caught up reading this thread. Anonymous that was a great post (and to think, I was seriously considering blocking the "Anonymous" username). Now I'm thinking I should reserve it exclusively for your use. I can just hear Thumper saying "my sweat ain't gonna do nothin' but make it taste better". The post about ABM was too funny. I literally laughed out loud when I read the "lets see, who am I going to "F*&K with this time" part. The whole thing was so visual.

I didn't say you was Kola Boof, Cynique. I said it would be FUN to watch Kola play you and then play Yukio. She always struck me as hav'n multiple personalities--she come here like two different people. Sweet and loving one minute, cuss'n everybody and being disagreeable the next. Putt'n all her bizness on the board and the like. But she was lively. So I figure she crave attention enough to play you and Yukio and probably make you all more interest'n than you would make yourselves 'cause she wouldn't hold noth'n back. But I don't want her to play herself because then we'd have to sit through African History lesson and her naked ass sex'n up ABM, Troy and whomever else let her tail flirt with them. She love to flirt with these men. She tells too much bout herself, so I want to see her play somebody different from her vain self. But I wish this man come on with the damn soap opera, I been coming back and forth here all day try'n to catch this damn story. He gett'n on my last nerve with all this post'n. I don't know who should play WHO Cynique. | ||

Thumper's Corner THE MOVIE......Cont. New York, New York, the big apple. The scene opens with a sky line view of New York City. The narrator (the voice of James Errol Jones) is heard tell us of the ills in the big city. The politics, the corrupt police force, the crime, the grime and it's inhabitants. Whores, hutsler, thieves, con men and the mob. The camera view is a slow decent from the skyline down into the streets of the city. We hear slow piano music as the view takes us to a Brooklyn storefront neighborhood. It's raining outside and the pedestrians are walking at a fast pace. A man appears from around a corner and stops in front of one of the buildings. He's wearing a trenchcoat and hat and carrying an umbrella. The camera zooms in . It's a black man about 5'10 185lb. He appears to be nervous. He looks to his right and then quickly back to the left and then dips into the store. It's a low light room. One man is sitting at the door. two others are playing cards at a corner table. Two others are sitting at what appears to be a bar. After entering the store the black man takes off his hat, and shakes the rain onto the floor. The camera zooms in. We see Troy looking around nervously. Before he could take another step the two men that were sitting at the bar rushed over and patted him down for weapons. One man said "he's clean, take him to the back, Tony is expecting him". Troy gave the man at the door a respectful nod and followed the rather large man toward the back. We learn through narration that Troy has gotten into finical trouble and had to borrow money to get out of debt and to keep his business alive. He had tapped all the formal institutions and they no longer felt comfortable lending him anymore money. so Troy reached out to an old friend, Tony Gallio. The large fellow knocked on the door and a voice said, "come in, it's open". The door opens. We see tony sitting only at a small table. He motions to the goon to leave with a dismissing look and a backhand sorta swing. He waves to Troy to come closer and asks him how he doing. Troy says "oh I'm fine now, I was just a little nervous carrying all this money". Tony laughs and says, "whata ya talking about, that ain't no money, this is money". We see tony reach beneath the table and pull up a suitcase. The camera zooms in on it. Then we see a quick closeup of Troy's face and then one of Tony's. Troy's eyes were wide, Tony had a smug look. Just then loud sounds were heard coming from the other room. a scuffle seemed to be ensuing. Tony got up from the table reached into a drawer and pulled out a gun and ran toward the room. The camera zooms to a closeup of a scared looking Troy. Shots rang out. Troy looked around the room and hid in a closet. We hear hollering and yelling coming from the outer room. More shots rang out, BAM BAM....BAM BAM BAM. Footsteps can be heard running. The front door can be heard slamming with the sounds of falling glass. The scene cuts to the outer room. Tony lay dead on the floor along with the others that were there and a few that were not. The scene switches back to a closeup of Troy, literally shaking in fear crouched down in the closet. Troy didn't know what had happen but he knew he had to get out of that place. We see the closet door open and Troy peek out. He quickly departs grabbing the suitcase as he ran by the table. He stops at the door leading to the outer room. Believing that no one was still alive Troy ran towards the front door jumping over bodies as he went. He stopped at the door leading to the outside, peeked out, pulled his hat down tight on his head opened the door and ran like hell. The camera follows Troy out the door. As we see Troy low running into the darkness, crouched down like O.J., we hear a voice yell, HEY, HOLD IT, STOP! (Fade to Black) The next scene is a closeup of a wad of paper rolling across the floor, then another, and another. The camera pulls out to show a waste can. The view switches to a letter. The letter reads: Dear sisgal, Thanks you for your submission but at this time we are not accepting novels or your nature. Please feel free to contact us at a later time. The camera pulls out. We notice a stack of letters all of which are rejection notices. Sisgal has been submitting her novel, "Too Tight" to all the major publishing houses for the last two years and has recieved nothing but nicely worded refection letters. The camera pulls out further. we see Sisgal slouched down is a large chair with a defeated look on her face. "I'm sick of this shit" she says, "I'm going to do it", "I am bored to death, besides it might be fun". The next scene finds us at the Mall Of America. People are briskly walking around. Mothers are pushing baby strollers and Teenage kids are seen laughing and flirting with one another. The camera stops on a quick shot photo booth, the dollar type. The camera zooms in and we see 2 young kids inside. We hear one say "come on, do it for me", the other says "okay but you better not show anyone". We see the flash of the camera and a few seconds later a young man walks out with a look of accomplishment on his face. He's followed by a teenage girl buttoning her blouse. The scene shift to sisgal standing in front of Goldman's, nervously pacing back and fouth. Every since her Husband had left for Iraq she has basically stayed at home writing, but not today. She knew what she was about to do was stupid but since she caught her husband with that blonde heifer down the street she thought a liitle payback was due. But to get with a man she had meet on the Internet in Thumper's Corner was making her nervous. "Dam" she said "what if he's ugly". besides, She thought they didn't have to do anything, they were just meeting. She said to herself, "Lets see, he's going to be wearing a Chicago Cubs baseball cap, There he is". A handsome man had just come from around a corner walking very fast wearing the "C", for Chicago, he was almost running as if he knew he was late. He too looked nervous. He had yet to see her so she walked over to him and held out her hand and said "hey, I'm sisgal, you must be Reppskern. Reppskern was obviously nervous, he was sweating. Sisgal said "lets take my car and get out of here", he said "ah yeah, lets go". It appeared Reppskern did not want to be seen with someone other than his wife. As they were leaving the mall, Reppskearn asked her were she was parked. She said "way over by firestone". A closeup of Reppsskern showed a pained look and he said in a hurried voice, "come on lets get going". She knew he was a teacher and that didn't want anyone to see him but she was beginning to feel cheap. As they appraoched the car, sirens could be heard from police cars wizzing towards the mall. We see a view of them get into the car followed by a closeup of a quizzical looking Sisgal. After buckling their seatbelts, Sisgal asked, "What does that "C" stand for on your hat"?. As she was asking another police car with siren blasting zoomed by heading in the direction of the mall. Then almost as if in slow motion, the man she thought was Reppskern replied "Cincinnati Bearcats". A closeup showed a stunned Sisgal. The man, Whomever he was, noticed her changed demeanor and pulled out a gun and screamed "DRIVE BITCH, DRIVE! (fade to black) The next scene opens with an outside view of a warehouse. The camera closes in on the front door. The view then takes us down a long hall opening to a view of a room filled with electronic equipment. As the camera pans around the room we see coffee cups, leftover pizza and other food wrappings. We also see books, Books by black authors. The camera zooms in tight on one of the books, it's Skin Deep by Kathleen Cross. The camera shifts to another book, it's Devil in a blue Dress by Walter Mosely. The camera pans to another book, it's by Gloria Mallette. A hand is seen reaching towards the books. It's the hand of a white person. The hand stops over Skin Deep and we hear the man say, "Skin Deep huh, I'd like to deep skin her", yum yum that looks de-li-cious", pausing between syllables. Another voice is heard saying, "come on Frank, we're here to do a job, not to drool over the book covers. As the camera pulls back, we see a bank of recording devices, wall to wall devices of all kinds. The camera focuses on the one man holding the book, he asks his partner, "hey Bob, would ya" Bob replies, "Would I what?". Lifting up the book and turning it in the direction of his partner Bob, The one called Frank says, "come on, you know". Bob snaps back as the camera switches between closeups of the two men, "I told you Frank we're here to do a f*&king job". Frank, feeling somewhat rejected by his stern faced co-worker said, "F&^k You Bob with you tight ass" "from what I've heard, you'd probably faint if you got ahold of some of that chocalate stuff". The camera swings to a blinking light on one of the devices. Bob says to Frank, "pay attention, the green zone is activated, number 348", . Frank drops the book while running over to a table to throw a few switches. Bob says to FRank, " I don't know why the government wastes all this money on this shit, what do they think we are going to find, some secret code in one of these books or a team of spys conversing on one of these webb site?". "my job is to collect information" Frank said, "and that's what I intend to do". Fade to Black The next Scene opens with a closeup of a phone ringing. The Camera pulls out as we see Soul sister say "hello". The voice on the other end of the line says "They KNow". With a confused look, Soul sister asks, "who is this, they know what?". We learn through narration that Soul Sister has a past, a past not uncommon to young blacks fighting for their freedon in the early 60's. However, one night someone died. Protests were common, Soul sister led many marches. But one day things got out of hand. The scene changes to the person on the other end of the line but we can only see their lips, pressed upon the phone. The lips part saying " dam it, can't you hear me, they know"! Again, Soul sister repeats "who is this?". The scene again shifts back to Soul sister, It's a wide shot of her living room. african artifacts are seen throughout the house. Books are displayed in bookselves and on a coffee table. With a look of disgust, Soul sister decides to ask one last time, She asks "who in the hell is this and what do you want'? The voice on the other end says, in a whispering studdering like soft voice, "it's me,... It's me, Sis E, they know about the...the murder".*** We hear a soft organ music as the screen fades to black***. To Be Continued | ||

Book Father, You know, I almost avoided fulfilling your request to rehash "The Best of ABM and Kola". But as I looked over some of what went down between us, I must admit that some of that stuff was just too funny for an inveterate s@#tstarter like me to ignore. So listed below are links to a couple of exchanges between Yours Truly and Kola (aka Snake Girl, aka Snake Girl Poisonous, aka Sssssss, aka Hell! ANYTHING ‘snake-related’). There were also, as always, some very interesting contributions made Thumper’s Corner other "Usual Suspects" (Yukio, Cynique, Chris Hayden, etc.). ENJOY! http://www.thumperscorner.com/discus/messages/179/292.html#POST2746 http://www.thumperscorner.com/discus/messages/626/308.html#POST2426 http://www.thumperscorner.com/discus/messages/179/435.html?1059660608 | ||

Well ABM, after reading these exchanges I am EXHAUSTED!! Talk about a character! But you handled her real surehandedly. She's someth'n fierce though. Whew. That whole cowife thing was really fascinating. I'd like to study more about that. I guess I'll have to look for her books now. SHe wasn't much how I had heard at the bookstore though. I expected her to be a dragon lady, but I kinda like the kid. A lot of wmen are damaged like her. It's nothing new. | ||

Book Father, I never considered that I was taming or handling Kola (I thought most of the time I was holding by the skin of my ‘sack’.). Actually, I am quite in awe of her. It is inspiring to witness someone, under threat of life-n-limb, freely reveal the very worst, most controversial elements of their character and history and yet still stand proud and tall for the world to see. And what was going on between us here was what happens between a boy and girl who like each other when 'momma' is away: They 'play'. I simply found her to be a mutually adventurous mind who was generously giving of herself. And I am gratified to have had the great pleasure to benefit from what she was willing to share. I know Kola is a handful. She has said/done things that can cutcha 2-the-quick. Still, she is an immense intellect and a wondrous artist. And she is one of the bravest, most authentic spirits that you will ever find. I love Kola! | ||

Hello All, Anonymous (the one who started this thread): *LOL* Man, you're something else! Now you know, anybody that's cooking and sweating in the food, is putting dey foot all up in it. As to the casting of me. Randy Jackson? I don't think so. Come on now, at least pick somebody better looking than me. I only said that Troy was better looking than I am. I didn't say that I was Dagburn the dog face boy. I can accept Forrest Whitaker though, the man got talent. And please pick a better adversary for me than Kola! Gee whiz, don't bring a knife to a gun fight. Ever hear the old saying about an empty wagon makes the most noise? *eyebrow raised* Nuff said. The behind the scene is more livelier than anything on the board. My real true live adversary is a male author. Drop me a line and I'll fill you in. *smile* |
