It's a Greek word (pronounced kookooloFOree). Literally, it means "people who wear ski masks". It's an arbitrary label the Greek media uses to promote the idea that the protesters who burn things and throw molotovs are a small minority -- roughly analogous to the US media's attempts to portray middle eastern opposition to Western occupation as a minority that isn't indicative of popular sentiment.

Holden Caulfield
4th September 2009, 08:35
Holden Caulfield (http://www.revleft.com/wiki/index.php/Holden_Caulfield) is the fictional narrator and protagonist of The Catcher in the Rye. The novel relives the days following Caulfield's expulsion from Pencey Prep, a university preparatory school based loosely on either Ursinus College or Valley Forge Military Academy, Salinger's alma-mater. Caulfield tells his story in cynical and jaded language, frequently using disparaging language and profanity.

In other works the character, as Holden Morrissey Caulfield, appears, such as in Salinger's Slight Rebellion off Madison. An earlier version of this story, titled Are You Banging Your Head Against a Wall? was accepted for publication by The New Yorker in October 1941, but was not published then because the editors found the tone to be too desolate for its readership.

The character has been smeared across modern culture, in film, music, and art. The most well-known popular culture event associated with Holden is arguably Mark David Chapman's shooting of John Lennon. Chapman identified with Holden in his role as narrator of "The Catcher...", to the extent that he wanted to change his name to Holden Caulfield. Chapman was found with a copy of the book the night he shot Lennon -- Chapman had written "This is my statement" inside and signed Holden's name.

The name is synonomous with teenage rebellion, reaction against hypocracy and a deep seated self centrism. Holden Caulfield is an idealist clinging desperately to the notion that basic human kindness is far more vital to a happy existence than material wealth. Of course, Holden’s idealism causes others to view him as naïve and immature, which is exactly the type of reversal of values that Salinger is trying to depict. Holden is said to suffer from psychological problems because of his self-destructive behavior and his non-conformist attitudes. The “cure”, as implied in the novel, would be for Holden to give up his resistance to material gain and his adoration for non-judgmental, genuine human interaction.

The boy himself is at once too simple and too complex for us to make any final comment about him or his story. Perhaps the safest thing we can say about Holden is that he was born in the world not just strongly attracted to beauty but, almost, hopelessly impaled on it.

You know a man wrote a sequel to Catcher in the Rye? Holden is now in a retirement home and tries to break out, however Salinger got wind of it and sued the man this last year and won....so...No sequel.

Seriously, the guy was no more than a decent guitarist and as a lyricist he was completely uneven- he got some dead on, true, but others like the lyrics for "Jugband Blues"- and don't even get me started on his solo career- amounts to nothing more than aimless schizophrenia. In both of these capacities the other members of the band, plus Dave Gilmour, more than made up for the loss. In fact, I seriously doubt that we would have ever known the classic era Pink Floyd (Dark Side, WYWH, Animals, the Wall) if Syd had stayed at the helm. With Syd as the go-to-guy, there would have been no need for Roger Waters to ever start writing lyrics, nor for Rick Wright to start adding the piano and organ virtuosity that became so essential to their sound. Of course Gilmour would have never joined the band either.

I think had Syd remained stable and at the helm, Pink Floyd would be remembered now only as a psychedelic-era footnote along with the likes of King Crimson.

Pink Floyd were more than entertainers. They set out to say something, and said it in a way that was beautiful and meaningful. That's the difference between Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Wish You Were Here.

Sure, it's a cool song. But Syd never made a great album, like his compatriots did. The most he managed to do was make a handful of touching songs on what it's like to go mad, and I'm sorry, but you just can't put that up against what Pink Floyd went on to do without him.

*Actually we don't call him Leo but by his really name.

Battle Royal, Black Raccoon, Bomb Ride, who knows?

Hall of Fame: KC, TC, BR, Q, (whoever has two or one letter name)

I always thought it refers to the previous screen name: Black Rifle.

But that is because you are 116.

Mine was chosen in memory of Johann Georg Elser.

He attemped to assassinate Hitler in 1939. Although he was was not a convinced Communist he was a member of the Red Front Fighters Association, the paramilitary organization of the Communist Party as he considered them to be the best defenders of workers' interests.

I consider his attempt particurlaly remarkable due to the early date. He was actualy implimenting the plan as the war broke out. Also, unlike many of the later attempts, it was not an prompted by personal ambition. He single handedly devised the plan, built the bomb and managed to hide over many nights inside Munich's Burgerbraukeller, hollowing out a pillar in which to place the bomb.

I'm uncreative with names, but I wanted something clever. As a result, InsertNameHere kinda just stuck.

Mine is minimalistic, not to mention blindingly obvious: I am merely someone who is proud to call myself a comrade, and live as such.

Its a mix of two famous Korean leftists from the colonial period:

Shin = Shin Chaeho, a Korean historian and anarchist

Honyong = Pak Honyong, leader of the domestic Communist movement during the 1930s and early to mid 40s.

It's strange, over time, a lot of people with established names have gone for the abbreviation. It's a vaguely Stalinist idea of efficiency.

:lol: haha, quite. I take it that going this route doesn't appeal to you though, given that you've never really had an "established" name ("I&A" or "DD" aren't going to mean much).

Knowing what most of the abbreviations means makes one feel like part of some kind of in crowd too.

Even if I did have one long-lasting name, I wouldn't change it to "WM" or whatever. People can judge for themselves whether they want to bother typing out people's full names. But yes, it is kind of funny that new people don't know what the abbreviations mean. You can say, "Oh, that's a very interesting post by Khayembii Communique", and people can be like "Who???"
