Mr. Charlie

White men regarded as oppressors of blacks.

An article by John Cowley, "Shack Bullies and Levee Contractors: Bluesmen as Ethnographers," in The Journal of Folklore Research, vol. 28, nos. 2/3, pp. 135-162, recounts the story of the Lowrence family, a set of seven brothers, the oldest named Charley, who were notorious contractors of cheap labor, mostly African American, to build the levees alongside the Mississippi in the 1920's. A number of songs quoted in the article refer to "Mr Charley" specifically in this context, giving rise to speculation on the part of Alan Lomax that he may have "discovered the identity of the elusive "Mr. Charley." Cowley's article goes on, however, to quote a comment by Alan Dundes on Lomax' article that 'Mr. Charley' "would appear to date from antebellum times." But the repeated reference to a "Mr. Charley" by southern bluesmen was undoubtedly in reference to Charley Lowrence.

Mr. Charlie, I hear--I hear the niggers is free, is that right?

Magician

WHen you get done railing someone in the ass (guy or girl may do), the "fucker" pretends an orgasm, thus fooling the "fuckee". Once the "fuckee" turns around to ask if the "fucker" has finished, the "fucker" bloes his fat ass load in the "fuckee"'s face! Ta Da!

Rachael let me perform not only a magician, but also an alsakan snow dragon on her... I laughed at her Red Eyes for days....
