Deeky, you apparently posted a link to something in that final post, but it did not show up in the save I did from that thread on the old board.
I think a good bit of the old board thread was useful.
I have learned that in addition to both paperback and hardback, there are also different editions of the dungeon master.
If prices are still as low as eleven cents (which we wouldn't have here if I had not repeated the posts from the old board), I might get every permutation and combination of paperback and hardback, first edition, and later editions of the book.
But, of course I don't know what current prices are, and the variations of the different editions.

Many thanks for the post, Lenny. It is certainly All There, paperback and hardback, and I have noticed 2 different publishers (for 2 different editions?)
Altho I don't see a hardback for 11 cents (that copy might have been in terrible condition), the prices are quite reasonable, as Bobby Astor, as Harlan told Marlene Willoughby, playing an un-named hooker in OUtlaw Ladies ("well, if it wasn't for the maid, I'd give it away).

Deeky, glad you liked the post. I wonder what Bobby Astor's real name was, and would like to read an obituary for him.
He paid Marlene for a rim job, then she sat on his face, and he mumbled unintelligibly, as he performed cunnilingus on her
and she went on with a rambling monologue, " . . . Am I your whore, your dirty whore, sitting on your face . . . stick your tongue in my pussy, like I stuck mine in your ass . . . " as Bobby, uh, Harlan, continued his unintelligible mumblings.
I hope Marlene Willoughby whatever her real name is (i'm assuming she has been long retired from porno), is still alive and well, and enjoying life.
If anyone does know whatever happened to Marlene Willoughby, and also can find a newspaper obituary for Bobby Astyr, under whatever his real name was, I, and possibly other ZAQBers, would like to see it, and also learn about Marlene.

Well, Deeky, Marlene Willoughby and Bobby Aystor have nothing to do with The Dungeon Master, and I can't recall right now, how they happened to get onto this thread.

And, Dallas and Bobby Astyr are both deceased, Bobby, much older than Dallas at the time Dallas died, and Bobby even much older when he finally died within the past decade or so. |

Deeky I don't really "know" any of these people, except through watching their films and reading about them.

I've never played but I am vaguely familiar with it. The dungeon master isn't a player, he is the host. He tells the story and introduces the monsters, etc. that the players battle against throughout the campaign. I remember a story in an old Life magazine of the mid 1960s, which probably would be worth locating, about a very intelligent youngster, who from my memories of the photos, looked even younger than Dallas, this youngster being very skilled at mathematics, and he was sent to college at a very early age. I would like to locate that story, and see how things turned out for him in life. Since he left MSU it is obvious he didn't want to be there, but blaming his parents as the cause of all his troubles, and his eventual suicide seems wrong and unjust to me, when a lot of the people who made that accusation might not have known any more about Dallas and his parents than I do, although from what I remember from reading Detective Dear's book, Dallas definitely did have problems with his parents, but I don't see those problems as a catch-all Reason that lead to his eventual suicide. Has anyone here but me read AND I DON'T WANT TO LIVE THIS LIFE, the biography of Nancy Spungen written by her mother? Nancy was so brilliant that she left to go to college at age 15. As we know, her life didn't come out that well. We're coming up on the 41st anniversary of her murder, which I can hardly believe. 41 years! |

Goldie, I have not read that book, and right offhand, I can't remember Nancy Spungen and her murder, but maybe I did hear of about and just don't remember.

Well, the usual demarcations are Severe MR (formerly Idiot, IQ of around 40 or lower), Moderate MR (formerly Imbecile, in the 40-55 range), Mild MR (Formerly Simpleton, IQ of 69-56), Borderline Intellectual Function (70-80), Dull Normal (high 80s to 109), Bright Normal or Superior (110-140) and Genius (140 and up).

Thanks for elaborating, Goldie. You've saved me some work. I don't even know if I can get to 100, but I have serious doubts about the accuracy of the tests and agree that they might be biased, and I feel that some of the answers are arguable.
But, I do not have any illusions or delusions that I have very high, above average intellegence, and have accepted that, and not been bothered by it, although I know that if I did have higher than average intellegence, I might could have gone further in life than I have.

My IQ tested ridiculously high, yet I struggled in school every year and am now in a low-paid career. I'm not at all sure what IQ tests measure or what they prove.
Item: I once had a client who was very, very concerned about his IQ. He got online and took every single IQ test he could find. All of them. On one of them, he scored 40. On another, he scored 170. Most of them, he said, fell somewhere in the range of 110-124. That was still at least 10 points lower than mine and he can do calculus in his head. I couldn't tell time until I was 13.
Item: My old nemesis, Coral Eugene Watts, had an IQ that has consistently tested between 64 and 67, placing him squarely in the Mildly Mentally Retarded range. And yet he got a diploma in the days before there was any such thing as Special Ed, got two college scholarships, and ultimately worked his entire life (before his arrest and life sentence) as a bus mechanic, which is a pretty complex job. |

IQ isn't completely meaningless, but it means a LOT less than it is made out to. There are so many other factors that come into play in terms of success in school, career, social relationships, and so on... (Says the lizard who is working on a PhD in an education-related discipline --and who is only mentioning this so you don't think he pulled this assertion about IQ scores straight out of his cloaca...) |
