An Elephant mishears him and brings him a box of elephant tissues. He reveals that he likes to take a break from his usual wackiness occasionally to ponder today's relevant issues. Gogo's end tag credit is "It's been surreal!", then pointing a remote control at the audience and clicking it, as the entire screen irises to black.Gogo Dodo is finishing a cartoon of him in Wackyland. This episode reveals that dodos do not die, but they fade away (rather ironically, considering the fate of the real dodo), which happens when they do not visit Wackyland often enough to stock up on their wackiness. In " Sawdust and Toonsil", it is revealed that Gogo lost many of his friends to a cruel circus named "Silas Wonder's Circus of Wonderment." He himself was kidnapped, but Babs and Buster helped him (and his friends) escape. With the help of Gogo Dodo they are able to escape without any harm done and find their way back home to the saner Acme Acres, where Babs is happy and relieved to return. Even Babs can not take all the wackiness from them and tells them they need to learn self-control, which is forbidden in Wackyland, so they chase after her, along with Buster, Plucky and Hamton. He shows her around and eventually they promote her to Queen Babs, first ruler of Wackyland, as Buster, Plucky and Hamton go looking for her. In the episode " Her Wacky Highness", as Babs is bummed out at all of her authority figures telling her she needs to learn self-control because of her wackiness, Gogo persuades her to come to Wackyland by means of her television set. As the intro describes him as "insane", he makes this point clear by hitting himself with a mallet to turn himself into several smaller copies of himself. He is the eighth character to be roll-called in the intro, coming after the clip of Furball getting crushed by a piano. Gogo was not only a student at Acme Loo, but also served as a hall monitor and performed other duties, such as acting as a cuckoo bird for the Looniversity's various clocks, and umpire during sports games. He sometimes gets tired of having to do crazy things all the time, to the point of making a dance instructor video rather than making a crazy cartoon. Gogo's bizarre behavior included dating inanimate objects. Gogo and Wackyland were considered bizarre and nonsensical by even the lax standards of the other characters in the show, and the latter was usually explicitly avoided. Furthering this end, Gogo made his home in the Dali-esque realm known as Wackyland, a surreal land where backgrounds changed constantly and the entrance to which was located across a bridge on the outskirts of the city of Acme Acres, the usual setting of Tiny Toon Adventures. Gogo is noted for performing various bizarre sight gags or stunts. According to series writer Paul Dini, Gogo is the only member of the Tiny Toon Adventures cast who was a relative of one of the Looney Tunes characters in this case, Gogo was the son of the original dodo from the 1938 Looney Tunes cartoon " Porky in Wackyland". He attends Acme Looniversity and lives in Wackyland. Gogo is a young, green male dodo with blue shoes, a purple collar, and a pink and purple umbrella sticking out from the top of his head.

He told his mom that he’d been crying so hard, he was too exhausted to follow through. Terri Zinke Jackson, Howell’s mother, recalled an evening not long after his accident when he came to her and said that he’d gone to the top of a ten-story building in Houston and peered over the edge at the concrete below, intending to throw himself off. He spent four months convalescing in a back brace. The rope hissed through the belayer’s safety device, and Howell smashed into the ground, fracturing three vertebrae and several bones in both feet. At the same moment, Howell’s belayer let go of the brake strand of the rope, a careless mistake. Thirty-five feet up, he attempted a tricky move but couldn’t hold on. His newfound obsession, however, nearly came to an abrupt end in 2008, when he was climbing at the university’s indoor rock wall. Howell first went climbing as a 19-year-old freshman at the University of Houston, in 2006, and from the get-go he felt like he was onto something special. But the annals of climbing, like other extreme sports, are littered with stories of risk-takers who convinced themselves that they could reason their way out of catastrophe. He spent hours ahead of each hard climb satisfying what he called his “preflight checklist,” making sure he’d accounted and planned for all the variables that could go wrong. Howell saw his free soloing as the product of careful, sober analysis. The number of people in the world soloing that volume at that difficulty can likely be counted on one hand. One time he free-soloed over a mile of technical terrain in a single day. Many of the routes were in Kentucky’s Red River Gorge and had little margin for error-an overhanging 5.12 could be as steep as the underside of a church dome a vertical 5.12 might have grips the width of a dime’s edge. I followed along as he soloed 19 different 5.12’s, a grade that many people spend their lives trying to climb with a rope on. If he came upon a roped party, he’d toss a candy bar in their direction. When he went out soloing, for example, he kept mini Snickers in his puppy-dog-shaped chalk bag. His death-defying behavior was complemented by a fun-loving temperament. I began following Howell on Instagram, where he went by was an enigmatic character, and I found it difficult to look away from his antics. But I was also unsettled, filled with a kind of macabre awe. I was blown away by the absurdity of the video, which struck me as one part Free Solo, one part Jackass. I’d been climbing for five years and was then preparing to take a crack at the 3,000-foot Nose route on El Capitan in Yosemite. I remember seeing the clip when it came out. His frizzy shoulder-length locks and the hat, which he was rarely without, belied the quickly thinning hair atop his head. Howell, then 27, was a sinewy string bean with a permanent dirtbag scruff of a beard. Titled “ Free Soloing with a Hat,” the video enjoyed a viral moment in the climbing corners of the internet when its subject, Austin Howell, shared it on Vimeo in April 2015. The clip, just 1 minute 56 seconds long, ends with a still frame of the climber looking back at the camera and flipping the bird. All he’s got on is a gray newsboy cap. A twangy guitar lick comes in, followed by the lyrics: You can’t kill me / I will not die / Not now, not ever / No never/ I’m gonna live a long, long time / My soul raves on forever. Aside from eschewing clothes and a rope, the climber is also barefoot. He’s out of his damn mind.”Īs the camera zooms out, it becomes clear that the soloist is hundreds of feet off the deck. He’s soloing, climbing this route, naked, without a rope. “What in the world,” the guy filming says. The footage is shaky, but there’s no doubt what’s in the frame: a man climbing a section of shining white rock. That's right - with very few exceptions comprising limited time frames in certain metro areas near Washington, D.C.

It’s easy to imagine a different history than the one we’ve lived. “Official Secrets” helps illustrate the ideological malfeasance by the American press, which eagerly jumped on this grenade to save its foxhole buddies in the Bush administration. There is one main answer to this question, both in “Official Secrets” and reality: the U.S. Yet Blair was able to shrug this off and obtain a vote by the British Parliament several weeks later endorsing his war. on the Security Council, which never voted on another Iraq resolution, because Bush and Blair knew they would lose. On a subtler level, the film asks this question: Why didn’t the leak make a true difference? Yes, it contributed to opposition to the U.S. You learn how she got the email, why she leaked it, how she did it, why she soon confessed, the horrendous consequences she faced, and the unique legal strategy that forced the British government to drop all charges against her. At the time, Daniel Ellsberg said her actions were “more timely and potentially more important than the Pentagon Papers … truth-telling like this can stop a war.” On one level, “Official Secrets” is a straightforward, suspenseful drama about her. Played craftily in “Official Secrets” by Keira Knightley, Gun was a translator at the General Communications Headquarters, the British equivalent of the NSA. It proved the NSA plan was unusual enough that, somewhere in the labyrinthine intelligence world, someone was upset enough that he or she was willing to risk going to prison for a long time. members, up to and including the collection of blackmail material. It showed that while they claimed they had to invade Iraq because they cared so much about upholding the effectiveness of the U.N., they were happy to pressure fellow U.N. What this demonstrated was that Bush and Blair, who had both said they wanted the Security Council to hold an up or down vote on a resolution giving a legal stamp of approval for war, were bluffing. The NSA manager was demanding a full court espionage press on the members of the Security Council - “minus US and GBR of course,” the manager jocularly said - as well as non-Security Council countries who might be producing useful chatter. Observer threw a grenade into this extraordinarily fraught situation: a leaked January 31 email from a National Security Agency manager. Yet to everyone’s surprise, the 15-country Security Council remained recalcitrant. State Department, put it even more strongly: “To use force without Security Council authority would amount to the crime of aggression.”) So Blair was desperate to get a thumbs-up from the U.N. Moreover, we now know that Peter Goldsmith, the British attorney general, had told Prime Minister Tony Blair that an Iraq resolution passed by the Security Council in November 2002 “does not authorise the use of military force without a further determination by the Security Council.” (The top lawyer at the Foreign Office, the British equivalent of the U.S. But in the U.K., the idea of war without approval from the United Nations Security Council was deeply unpopular. to invade without the U.K., its faithful Mini-Me, at its side. Bush administration appeared to have overreached. It looked like a badly made jalopy, its engine smoking and various parts falling off as it trundled erratically down the road.įor this brief moment, the George W. In the weeks before the U.S.-led invasion on March 19, 2003, the American and British case for war was collapsing. It’s been forgotten now, but the Iraq War and its abominable consequences - the hundreds of thousands of deaths, the rise of the Islamic State group, the nightmare oozing into Syria, arguably the presidency of Donald Trump - almost didn’t happen. It’s startlingly accurate, and because of that, it’s equally inspiring, demoralizing, hopeful, and enraging. “Official Secrets,” which opened Friday in New York and Los Angeles, is the best movie ever made about how the Iraq War happened. As soon as he left the team, then rowing coach Randall T. Mickelson begin his collegiate athletic career in football his freshman year, but left the team when it became clear that the time commitment would interfere with his studies. Following Wisconsin, Mickelson earned a graduate degree in biomedical engineering at Dartmouth College, and completed his formal education earning a Ph.D in Physiology (Exercise) and Anatomy at Ohio University. He attended the University of Wisconsin, where he earned an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering.

"I know that sounds old fashioned, or an odd word, but he had this single goodness. "I met him as a friend and knew that the essential nature of Tim was goodness," Ahrens said. The man Ahrens described as possessing an unstoppable work ethic and a "kind and gentle soul" was the same man to everyone, friends and family members recalled this week following Mickelson's passing at home from ALS (more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease) early Wednesday morning. Tim Mickelson the Olympian was the same man as the guy that answered Ahrens' call when he needed help reviving the Milwaukee Rowing Club - the man who was raised in a small Wisconsin town and worked in the family grocery store, played football and then rowed at the University of Wisconsin, excelled academically and in business, married his college sweetheart, and raised a family. men's eight would have a side to him only other elite athletes would know.

He was the Pac-10 runner-up with the Beavers in 1999, his graduation year. Mickelson played three seasons at Arizona State, including on the 1996 national champions, before transferring to Oregon State. He was a four-time West Coast Conference coach of the year. Mickelson came to Arizona State in 2011 after eight seasons at San Diego, where he built the Toreros into national prominence. “We wish him the best in his future endeavors.” “(Tim) mentored one of the most decorated golfers in program history, helped our student-athletes not only graduate, but also find success professionally both on and off the golf course, and further connected the program to our community,” said Ray Anderson, the school’s athletic director. The Sun Devils placed ninth at the NCAAs, four strokes short of qualifying for the eight-team match play. 1 player in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings for the 2015-16 season, Arizona State finished the year ranked 12th. Mickelson, however, rebutted those reports. In June, rumors swirled that Mickelson would leave to work with Jon Rahm as the recent Sun Devils alumnus made his way into professional golf. Mickelson responded to Golfweek via text message: “No decision on my future as of yet.”Īssistant coach Judd Easterling, who joined the program last July, will be retained to manage the program during a national search for Mickelson’s replacement, the school said. Mickelson, the younger brother of PGA Tour veteran Phil Mickelson, said he is resigning to pursue “other business opportunities,” without elaborating. In five seasons at ASU, Mickelson led the Sun Devils to two national top-10 finishes. Tim Mickelson has stepped down as head men’s golf coach at Arizona State.

Twiddling the knobs on his first five singles was the legendarily eccentric Joe Meek, who embellished Sutch's modest talents with his usual grab bag of treated instruments, compression, and odd effects. His early-'60s singles - mostly over-the-top Halloween novelties or covers of early rock and R&B standards - are genuinely energetic and fun performances that rank among the few out-and-out raunchy rock & roll records waxed in Britain before the ascension of the Beatles. With a rock & horror act based to a large degree on Screamin' Jay Hawkins, David "Lord" Sutch was one of the first genuine rock & roll longhairs, and his bands employed such sterling instrumentalists as Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, Nicky Hopkins, and Mitch Mitchell before they became famous. but Screaming Lord Sutch laid some unheralded groundwork for the phenomenon.

Sutch appeared to have done most of pop’s rebellious things before anyone else (long hair, the wildest clothes, act, songs, etc. When I first heard Sutch’s early recordings with The Savages, such as “Jack the Ripper,” “‘Til the Following Night” and his cover of Johnny Burnette’s “Train A-Kept A-Rollin’,” I couldn’t understand why he never became a major international star. Sutch took his name from Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and with his eighteen inch locks, bizarre outfits (a giant headpiece of cow horns) and outrageous stage act, Sutch and his band The Savages soon attracted the ear of legendary producer (and future murderer) Joe Meek leading to their pioneering singles in the early 1960s. He left school at sixteen and worked at a variety of jobs, before he started his performing career at the 2 i’s Coffee Bar (the “birthplace of British rock ‘n’ roll”) on Old Compton Street, Soho in the late 1950s.

There he would be on every election night, standing on the podium with his leopard spot jacket, top hat and rainbow rosette.
