Sam, Day of The Triffids was a horror story written in the last century about these alien plants that took over the world. It's a cracking story if you get to read it.

Anj, and in case U didn't know, triffids originated from the John Wyndham novel, "the Day of the Triffids"...

P.S. Hi, everybody.........

*pulls tattered paperback off bookshelf* ...first published in 1951...I suppose that is last century...
4:07 am

1951 for Day of the Triffids? I thought it was then, but then I got confused as I think they made a movie of it not too long after. Movieman..... do correct me! : )
4:08 am
movieman

John Wyndham was quite a prolific author....he was like the Stephen King or James Herbert of his day.....

He was also responsible for, amongst others, The Chrysalids, Chocky, and the Midwich Cuckoos, which was filmed as "The Village of the Damned"....
4:09 am
Yoink

The Kraken has been all kinds of shapes according to different stories, it was a massive ugly but humanoid thing with a big tail in "Clash of the titans"

I remember Chocky from when I was little!

Babs, reply sent

VERY scary film!! I only managed to watch it once, a looooooooong time ago..... never again *shudders*
4:10 am

I think I last read it as a huge whale thing... TP/NG's Good Omens I think....
4:12 am
movieman

The following is a basic plot synopsis of "The Kraken Wakes" by John Wyndham for those of you who want to know....

*Spoilers ahead*

The novel describes three phases of an alien attack. In the first phase objects from outer space land in the oceans. Investigations show that 'there is something intelligent down there'. Phase two starts with ships being attacked causing havoc to world shipping. Shortly after the aliens start 'harvesting' the land by sending up 'sea tanks', for the purpose of capturing and kidnapping humans from small seaside settlements. In phase three, the aliens start melting the ice caps causing sea levels to rise.

4:12 am
speedfreak sam

THE OMEN ARRRRGGGHHHH!
I hate the bit when the omen makes his mum fall off the balkony and he makes a lift smash on the floor and he chops a man in half with a stain glass window
THE HORROR!
4:13 am
movieman

Part 2 of synopsis


The story follows Mike and Phyllis Watson as they try to survive and discover what is going on. By the end humanity believes that an uneasy stand-off has been achieved, with the development of a sonic weapon which appears capable of keeping the aliens penned into the ocean depths. Humanity has, however, lost immense ranges of landmass and the major proportion of its population.

I can beat that -- London, without the address of where I was staying.

Hey Torgone -- you having a flashback? Yoooo hoooo.
9:28 pm

torg - are you watching a very brady christmas?
9:28 pm
mab

Could have been. It was here in Mass. I don't know from woods, but I think 'bears!'
9:29 pm
torgone

I got picked up by a woman who turned out to be a hooker after my money. Idiotically, I thought she actually was attracted to me. We met in my hotel, but we had to take a cab ride to "her place". When we switched to her boyfriend's taxi, and they asked for some ourageous sum of money, and I had very little on me (in a rare stroke of intelligence, I had stashed the bulk of my money in my room), they ditched me somewhere in Prague. I walked to a cop shop, somehow got my sad story across to them, and they drove me back to my hotel. Naive American idiot.
9:30 pm
mab

Come on out Torgone and tell us about Prague. Everyone says it's gorgeous.
9:30 pm
EasternBlue

poor Tor!
best that you stick with lotti from now on!! : D
9:31 pm
renfield

torg - woah! - that is some bad story!
9:32 pm
mab

c'est si triste, tor.
9:32 pm
torgone

That was quite a few years ago - my first overseas foray. But Prague is an absolutely beautiful city. I walked around for days.
9:36 pm
mab

So when you tell this story in real life, does it have comedic value?
9:39 pm
mab

That's poorly worded, but does it seem funny in retrospect?
9:43 pm
torgone

It actually does, mab. When I left Prague to go to Sophia, I couldn't get a flight so I took a train. I blithely handed my bags to a guy in the apparent baggage area of the train station, told him I was going to Sophia, and got a lovely little slip of paper. A day and a half on the train with NO FOOD later, I'm wandering around the Sophia, Bulgaria train station looking for where I can pick up my bags...
9:44 pm
EasternBlue

ooo....Tor...ooo....
I don't know if I should laugh or cry!!
9:44 pm
mab

I'm actually laughing out loud. Eastern Europe was not kind to you.
9:44 pm
EasternBlue

are you a hermit now Tor? afraid to go out anywhere? : D
9:45 pm
renfield

torg - is there a sign on your head?
9:45 pm
mab

That's me, actually.
9:46 pm
mab

or a bullseye on your back?
9:46 pm
renfield

mab - you have the sign on your head as well?
9:46 pm
mab

No, agoraphobia for the past year, among other ills. I'm quite the study.
9:48 pm
torgone

Finally ran into someone who could read the slip of paper from Prague (they use a different alphabet in Bulgaria), who informed me that the slip of paper was a claim check! My bags were safely residing in the baggage STORAGE area of the Prague railroad station! Idiot moi, I had assumed they were going to load my bags on the train I was boarding, just like they do in America when you get on a plane . . .
9:48 pm
EasternBlue

mab...*HUG*
9:49 pm
renfield

mab - i had no idea. (((huggies - mucho grande)))))))
9:49 pm
EasternBlue

so Tor...did you travel the day & 1/2 back??
9:50 pm
renfield

torg - and?????
9:52 pm
mab

Aw, thanks. It's a long boring story, blah, blah, blah.

So your story has a happy ending Torgone! Maybe I should go into the con racket. Oh! that's right, can't tell lies credibly at all.
9:53 pm
EasternBlue

...the only thing we can say about Tor's tale, is that we know he lived to tell about it...

...so then what happened??
9:56 pm
torgone

So, I went to the Czech consulate to see if there was anything I could do. One piece of my luggage was a computer I was going to need, when I met my contact in Sophia, who had a machine I was supposed to start up. Alas, there was nothing I could do. Communication and transportation were in a state of "flux" in those days. So I bought a change of clothes, hung around the Sophia Sheraton a few days, met some Scotland football fans who were there for a Scotland v. Bulgaria match, almost got my butt kicked by the Scotland football team, Flew back to Prague to get my stuff, and eventually came home. In retrospect, yes it was all quite humorous.
9:57 pm
mab

A happy ending indeed. As a result of the first event you could have had your lifeless body dumped in the river. It's amazing how trusting we USians can be.
9:57 pm
doxy1lover

torgone, that was quite an adventure. Glad it all turned out ok.
9:58 pm
torgone

Indeed. Somehow, I didn't feel like Iwas going to get killed there, but I certainly could have. A couple years later in China, however . . .
9:59 pm

Tor...

you should write a book - "What not to do..." If you use your anecdote - it would be a hit!! : D
9:59 pm

yes torg - i agree w/ mab - and i am certainly glad you are here to tell about it!!!
9:59 pm

Oh my! There's MORE???

I've always known to be a wary traveler, but in Zimbabwe, in the bush, I really wanted to get a close look at a bull elephant. That made him angry. It's very unfortunate to make an elephant angry.

It was hard for me to understand fully that the animals were wild, no matter how close they came to me.
10:07 pm
torgone

A few years ago, when you wanted to go to China, you could go to Hong Kong, get a visa in a couple days, and proceed to China. I did so, got a flight to my destination city, where I was supposed to be met by a rep. from the company selling our macines in China. I get there, and no rep. Nobody. Nobody speaks English. I wait. and Wait. Nobody. I'm somewheer in China and all I know is the name of the hotel I should go to. I finally meet a girl from Hong Kong who speaks English, writes down the name of my hotel in Chinese, and directs me to the taxi stand (oh boy another taxi) . . .

You've had quite a life Tor. The closest I came to that was the time a wacko punched me in the face in one of the small town central bus stations in Israel. I just ignored her and kept going with blood running down my face. Cleaned up in the toilet on the bus.

I was staying at a camp with my ex-sister-in-law, and one evening during cocktails this same elephant charged her and then came to a full stop without hurting anyone. Fabienne being Fabienne was quite unalarmed. (She's half Brit)

I go to get in the taxi, and immediately one of the armed military/police guys approaches the driver. They have an INTENSE discussion, and the military guy TAKES the taxi guy's paperwork and walks away. The driver motions me into the car and we drive off. First, I negotiate the fare for the ride based on advance intelligence from a coworker who had been there. We drive along for a while, then suddenly pull into a side street AND ANOTHER CAR PULLS IN RIGHT BEHIND!!! I thought: "This is it. I'm going to get my throat cut and my body dumped somewhere in China. It's the end." Actually, I got transfered into another taxi (that had the right paperwork to go to my hotel or something.)

Minski, how shocking!

My husband has a bit of money. Ironically, I am now literally poor. Ah, the great panorama of life.

I was carrying a rather large heavy duffelbag over my shoulder and it brushed her causing her to drop her cigarette. I said "excuse me. I'm sorry" in Hebrew (one of my few phrases) but I guess that didn't excuse my error.

I love Israel though and highly recommend it for a visit for everyone. It is an amazing, magical, beautiful country.
10:24 pm

I would loooove to go to Israel. That is such a bizarre incident, though. Would have freaked me out completely.

I used to imagine myself some sort of international spy/playboy, but in reality, I was just a technician, running all over the place, making machines work.
When I got done in that city and had to go to another city, way in the north of China, I booked a flight (with the help of local rep. who finally showed up) to my destination. They didn't tell me that the flight stopped in some other city on the way. We deplaned, and Iwas wandering around this podunk airport in the middle of CHINA waiting to get on the flight continuation. Of course, I did not speak Chinese, and did not understand the anouncements. La la la - I'm wandering around this little airport, when they come and get me, and drag me to the line to get on the plane. They apparently knew to find the big dumb American and get him on the plane. That's service!

Actually, I was pretty freaked out because it was the first time I travelled alone. I was inbetween my student tour ending and my family arriving and was just kind of wandering around going museum hopping. I am a chickensh*t and would never have confronted her in a million years (even if I could have communicated with her which I couldn't do).

One of the other fun things was when we went to Baku, Azerbaijan. We ran into some Iranian students, eager to practice their English, and we got to talking. They asked us how we liked Baku. We kind of hedged a little bit, but let on how we didn't really like it that much(Baku sucks more than the suckiest suck that ever sucked). The Iranians jumped in with how much they hated it! When Iranians think your city sucks, it must really suck BAD!!!
