![]() ![]() I knew the bitch was trying to booby trap me when she spat out her invitation. If I had been ten years dumber I would have leaned out of that Hog and broken her jaw, and put my foot in her ass, but the joint was too fresh in my mind. I could sense she was game to play the string out right there in the street before my whores. The bitch just stood there, her eyes slitted in anger. Now take your stinking yellow ass upstairs to a bath and some shut eye, and get in the street at noon like I told you.” I fitted a scary mask on my face and said, in a low deadly voice, “Bitch, are you insane? No bitch in this family calls any shots or muscles me to do anything. Whores constantly probe for weakness in a pimp. A pimp with an overly fine bitch in his stable has to keep his game tight. I knew my four whores were flapping their ears to get my reaction to this beautiful bitch. So come back, okay?”Ī good pimp doesn’t get paid for screwing, he gets his pay off for always having the right thing to say to a whore right on lightning tap. Then in her crisp New England accent she said, “Are you coming back to my pad this morning? You haven’t spent a night with me in a month. She stood looking at me for a long moment, her beautiful face tense in the dim dawn. She walked into the street around the Hog to the window on my side. She didn’t answer, but she did a strange thing. I said noon, not five minutes after or two minutes after, but at twelve noon sharp I want you down, got it, Baby?” His inner life is so rich with cunning and scheming to out-think his whores.Īs Kim got out I said, “Goodnight Baby, today is Saturday so I want everybody in the street at noon instead of seven tonight. Jesus! I would be glad to drop the last whore off so I could get to my own hotel to nurse my nose with cocaine and be alone. I coasted the Hog into the curb outside the hotel where Kim, my newest, prettiest girl, was cribbing. The whores went into fits of giggles at Rachel’s shaky witticism. The best pimps keep a steel lid on their emotions and I was one of the iciest. Daddy, we sure been humping for you, and what you smell is our nasty whore asses.” We been turning all night and ain’t no bathrooms in those tricks’ cars we been flipping out of. “Daddy Baby, that ain’t no shit you smell. Then Rachel, my bottom whore, cracked in a pleasing ass-kissing voice. ![]() “Goddamnit, has one of you bitches shit on herself or something?” I bellowed as I flipped the long window toward me. I was in an evil, dangerous mood despite that pile of scratch crammed into the glove compartment. My nose was on fire and the stink of those whores and the gangster they were smoking seemed like invisible knives scraping to the root of my brain. It happens when you’re a pig for snorting cocaine. I smelled the stink that only a street whore has after a long, busy night. My five whores were chattering like drunk magpies.

In the late 1970s, more exciting versions proliferated, especially the 2-liter “Kadett Rallye,” with 108hp. Initially, the Kadett came only with a rather wheezy 1.2L OHV four. The Ts were first introduced in Brazil in the late spring of 1973 as the Chevrolet Chevette – though Brazil’s version was a 2-door sedan at first, unlike the later U.S. There were eventually pickup bodies as well for South America.ġ978’s Buick Opel Isuzu SC (top) and Sedan. The sedan bodies and the vans and wagons were a collab between Opel and Brasil. The Kadett C City, the hatchback version that was similar to the stateside Chevette, originated at Vauxhall. The Opel Kadett C fastback coupe, however, seems to have come from Japanese-born Opel designer Tsutomo Aoto, from sketches done in 1971-72. The design process was mostly handled at Opel under Erhard Schnell, but there were so many different T-cars, it’s hard to credit any one studio with the look. Four cylinders, rear wheel drive, meant to be cheap to build and buy and durable no matter where it was sold. Up until around 1969-70, the General had not attempted to design a single platform that would be built and sold in all of its many different markets – what became called a “world car.” The design process of the T-car was a long international collaboration between Opel in Germany, Chevrolet do Brasil (who were making many Opel-based cars), Isuzu in Japan, and Vauxhall in the U.K.Ī small car meant to compete in the 1- to 2-liter range, it was an utterly conventional platform that didn’t rock the boat. Opel, Vauxhall, and Holden often sold completely different vehicles until the late sixties, when rationalization of these practices began. South America’s Chevrolet do Brasil and General Motors de Argentina often made do with cast-offs of European or American platforms which they then made their own. GM’s vast overseas divisions had largely done things independently until the mid-1960s. Buick’s marketing team seemed incapable of selling it, and in the years afterward, virtually everybody disavowed all knowledge of its existence. Why not take the Japanese Gemini and use the familiar “Buick Opel” connection to market it? It was a good plan in theory, although once it arrived it seemed to please almost nobody. ![]() The Chevette had not yet arrived when the Buick Opel Isuzu idea was conceived, but one of Isuzu’s products – the Faster pickup, was already on sale as the Chevrolet LUV. Isuzu’s Gemini rode the brand-new T-car platform, which GM’s corporate bosses approved, unexpectedly, for North America as the Chevrolet Chevette at the end of 1973 (for a 1975 intro). Conveniently, GM had bought 34% of Isuzu in 1971. Opel made a smaller car than the Manta and Ascona/1900, and a version of it was being built in Japan by Isuzu. The solution lay in GM’s vast portfolio of cars and factories. ![]() According to contemporary reports, GM was losing several hundred dollars on each car in 1974.īuick dealers were also more interested, in 1974, in a car that could take aim at the Datsun 210 or Toyota Corolla than the sporty Manta. In hindsight, the Opels weren’t too much more expensive than Toyota Celicas or Datsun 710s, but GM was subsidizing them to keep them competitive. ![]() The rising Deutsche Mark, boosted by Germany’s anti-inflation policies and high domestic interest rates, eventually made the Opel 1900 (aka Ascona) and Manta more expensive than Buick’s domestically-built Apollo. Buick had a good thing going on until exchange rates pushed the price of the Opels way up right around the time they needed small cars most – 1974. Buick dealers had sold Opels since 1957, and the little German cars proved quite a good sideline. Straight out of the era (and concept) of Marvel Team-up, Opel’s name was put on a car built by Isuzu (but designed by Opel) and sold in the USA by Buick. In 2020 Isuzu is a stand-alone Japanese truck maker Opel is a part of PSA Group Stellantis, and Buick is one of China’s most popular brands. It looks like an Opel Kadett C, but it’s actually called the “Buick Opel Isuzu.” Confused? Well, all three brands were part of GM’s universe in 1976 but are quite disparate entities now. We love unusual badge-ups, and this one brings together a very odd trio. ![]() or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers or directors.

When it comes to complex documents, flattening in vector form requires more time and memory than rasterization. This setting can affect flattening performance, especially for complex documents.

Frankenstein’s creature is the second most adapted monster to the screen, only to be outranked by Stoker’s Count Dracula.While Frankenstein is Shelley’s most known work, she continued to write throughout her life, including another science fiction novel about fatal apocalyptic plague, The Last Man (1826), as well as essays and travelogues.From 1878, author Bram Stoker managed the theatre and would go on to write Dracula, the most adapted gothic monster in popular culture. Presumption or The Fate of Frankenstein, the first stage adaptation of Shelley’s novel, debuted at the Lyceum Theatre, London, in the autumn of 1823 to popular acclaim.The 1823 reprinted version bears Mary Shelley’s name as author. The 1818 edition of the novel was published anonymously, and the preface written by Percy Bysshe Shelley was misinterpreted as his claim of authorship.Shelley’s personal life was further shaped by many tragedies in her adult life – only one of her children with Bysshe Shelley would survive into adulthood, and she was widowed in her mid-20s following the tragic death of Bysshe Shelley in 1822.ĥ things you probably didn’t know about Frankenstein and Mary Shelley Raised by her father, the philosopher William Godwin, and acutely aware of herself as the progeny of significant intellectuals, Shelley lacked confidence as an author in her own right, and developed her talents with Percy Bysshe Shelley’s encouragement. ![]() ![]() Shelley’s own childhood may have also contributed to thematic fears and concerns evident in Frankenstein, particularly noted by critics as anxieties about motherhood and the precarious nature of birth, of which she was painfully aware: the untimely death of her own mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, eleven days after Shelley’s own birth was a keenly felt absence. This can be in the form of a murder or other such macabre themes laced throughout the text.Further to this discussion, which would inspire her greatest contribution to gothic literature, her own loss of a prematurely born child in 1815 undoubtedly bore influence too, as Victor brings about an unnatural birth by infusing his own assembled ‘dead’ creation with unnatural life. Macabre and morbid - No Gothic tale is complete without a little death and destruction. Omens and prophecies - The protagonist or a supporting character will often typically have distressing dreams, visions or prophecies connected to the setting or events of the story.Īgony and ecstasy - Gothic stories are often characterized by melodrama, inner turmoil, intrigue, and insanity as well as sweeping romance, grandiose passions and enchanting prose. Sometimes these supernatural figures are literal, and other times they are symbolic or have a natural explanation. Paranormal activity - Gothic novels are famous for featuring ghosts, vampires, monsters, and other shadowy figures. Terror - The protagonist is haunted by supernatural or seemingly supernatural events such as doors suddenly closing, baying of dogs, footsteps, moans, and eerie sounds in the night. Suspense - Gothic plot lines typically revolve around suspenseful events, familial mysteries, disappearances, unexplainable events, and frightening objects. Examples include rain, storms, a chill in the air or howling wind.Īrchetypal character traits - Gothic literature typically has particular types of characters: a distressed heroine, tyrannical male characters (usually villains) and anti-heroes, also known as Byronic heroes after Romantic poet Lord Byron. Natural imagery - A hallmark of both Romanticism and Gothic literature is imagery, particularly pertaining to nature.ĭark atmosphere - No Gothic story is complete without atmosphere, including complementary weather conditions. Some common types of settings include castles, haunted houses, graveyards, and dark forests.
