[laugh] Title: Re: Dr Conan T. Barbarian Post by: fastwin on September 20, 2011, 04:59:48 PM That's funny!! [laugh] In a weird related story my good friend's ranch is in west Texas near Cross Plains, TX. It's in the middle of no-where north of Brownwood, TX. Believe it or not the creator of Conan the Barbarian was Robert E. Howard, a native of Cross Plains. He is a local hero and there is a museum there in his honor. We're talking about a small country town with a population of about 1,000 folks. I always think about the Conan comic books every time I drive through town.

Title: Re: Dr Conan T. Barbarian Post by: Monsterlover on September 21, 2011, 06:36:58 AM “In 2011/12, he will be teaching on the following courses: ‘The Relevance of Crom in the Modern World’, ‘Theories of Literature’, ‘Vengeance for Beginners’,
‘Deciphering the Riddle of Steel’ and ‘D.H. Lawrence’. “He strongly objects to the terms of the Croke Park agreement and the current trend for remaking 1980s films that he believes were perfectly good enough in the first place.” [laugh] Title: Re: Dr Conan T.

Howard was a badass, and the the best writer (ever) to come from Texas. |
