sally bogna mathay Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 One problem with the Game of the Generals was that it required an arbiter. So it was always a game of at least three people. My favorite piece was the Spy. The Spy could k*ll just about anyone. There were some exceptions, but I can no longer recall. Another game was Threat, where you could destroy a nation with an atom bomb if you had the card for it. Napaka-violent, no? Better pa yung enduring games such as Monopoly and Scrabble. The nice thing about board games is that you have to play with another person, not with a computer. That sort of enhances relationships in the family or among friends. Only the private, the lowest ranked, could k*ll the spy. Scrabble is great; it gave birth to Squabble Quote Link to comment
Mandrake Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Rosemarie is here in the US, I think. I remember having hired a "manong" driver to bring me to Baguio. And along the way, he recalled how in his younger years, he used to drive for a big-time politician ( a Marcos "tuta") who had this rest house up in Zambales in the late 60s and 70s. Upon the instructions of his boss, he would discreetly pick up Ms. R.S. and drive her all the way to the rest house for a week-end rendezvous with Apo Ferdie. Quote Link to comment

bods1000 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 A film called THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND is in the news lately, mainly because of the great performance of Forest Whitaker, who plays Idi Amin. Now that reminds me of the 70's - the prime era of tyrants, despots, dictators and other lowlifes in high places Idi Amin - UgandaSomoza - NicaraguaAli Bhutto - PakistanPinochet - ChileBokassa - not sure where heheKim Il Sung - North KoreaSelassie - EthiopiaMuzurewa - ?...and of course, everybody's favorite - Macoy Quote Link to comment

Muzorewa was the first prime minister of Zimbabwe, and was succeeded by Mugabe who today is one of the last remaining dictators of Africa. Kumusta, pare? hope to see you in the EB being planned by Storm. Others in the list should include Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), Trujillo (Dominican Republic). Notice that South America has gone full circle? In the 70s, it was ruled by leftists before they were all overthrown by rightists (e.g Allended/Pinochet in Chile). Today, most of Latin America is governed by left of center politicians (Chavez in Venezuela, Lula in Brazil, Bachelet in Chile, Morales in Bolivia, to name a few). They will inherit the soon-to-be-vacated throne of El Commandante in Cuba. Byt the way, those are nice pix of the 60s, although some have been previously posted. Quote Link to comment

How those America love to hate: Khadaffi - Still crazy after all these years. Billy Joel's song apply to this guy. Reagan tried to k*ll him but in vain. El Komandante - Fidel Castro of the infamous missile crisis Arafat is gone, hero or terrorist depending on which side you are on (Arab or Israel) and so is our recent villain Saddam. At the east side of the Berlin wall we have President Nicolai Caucescu of Romania and Erich Honecker of East Germany. Quote Link to comment
