The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll

This is a great song by Bob Dylan. This song tells the tale of the killing of a 51 year old barmaid, Hattie Carroll. William Zantzinger, or Zanzinger as Dylan refers to him in his song, lived in Charles County, Maryland. He was a young wealthy tobacco farmer at the time. The main incident of the song took place in the early hours of February 9, 1963, at the white tie Spinsters' Ball at the Emerson Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland. Using a toy cane, Zantzinger drunkenly assaulted at least three of the Emerson Hotel workers: a bellboy, a waitress, and — at about 1:30 in the morning of the 9th, Hattie Carroll, a barmaid. In addition to her work at the hotel, Hattie Carroll, at 51, was the mother of eleven children and president of a black social club. Already drunk before he had reached the Emerson Hotel that night, William Zantzinger, 24 years old and 6'2", had already assaulted employees at Eager House, a prestigious Baltimore restaurant, with the same cane. This cane was a 25 cent toy. After ordering a bourbon that Carroll didn't bring immediately, Zantzinger cursed at her, called her a "nigger", then "you black son of a bitch," and struck her on the shoulder and across the head with the cane. Soon after the blow, Carroll told co-workers, "I feel deathly ill, that man has upset me so." She collapsed and was hospitalized. Hattie Carroll died eight hours after the assault. Her autopsy showed hardened arteries, an enlarged heart, and high blood pressure, and gave brain hemorrhage as the cause of death. William Zantzinger was charged with manslaughter and assault. He spent 6 months in the county jail.

The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll..
With a cane that he twirled 'round his diamond ring finger.
At a Baltimore hotel, society gath'rin.
And the cops were called in, and his weapon took from him.
As they road him in custody down to the station.
And booked William Zanzinger, for first degree murder.

"Killed by a blow..
Lay Slain by a Cane.."

Wall of Death

Contrary to what the other definitions state, the term 'Wall of death' originated in the hardcore punk community of the early 80s. It was a natural outgrowth of the mosh pit, when people wanted to break into the pit they would form a line and literally rush the pit, becoming part of it.

It became extremely popular, as did slam dancing and other forms of punk dancing, in the mainstream a few years after it started. This is true for most things punk and true metal did.

One of the clearest examples of this was performed by a crust punk band with a cult following for the late 90s and early 2000s called R.A.M.B.O. where they would encourage the crowd to dress up as either protestors or cops and stage a mock riot. The two sides would form up and then 'wall o death!' each other.

So, sorry children, Lamb of God did not originate this.

The anarcho-crust band R.A.M.B.O. put out a record called Wall of Death the System in the year 2001. The song lyrics include:

See the cops ahead,
link arms!
March in unison,
now charge!

WALL OF DEATH THE SYSTEM!!!

A MOSHTROCITY!

liquid death

Nickel tetracarbonyl. A liquid that will line your lungs with nickel metal and gas you with carbon monoxide if you so much as look at it.

Man, did you hear about Prof. Jenkins? He heated up nickel with carbon monoxide and inhaled a load of liquid death. He can't breathe, and he keeps setting metal detectors off.

Death Trip

Death trip is something to describe a hell-ish experience when ingesting hallucinogenic drugs, such as L.S.D. and PsiloCubensis(Magic)Mushrooms. A Death Trip is usually classified as a "Bad trip" Multiplied by 2, and is more dramatic in about every way, Especially when it comes down to length of the trip.

common symptoms of a Death Trip is: Extreme feeling of nausia, excessive vomiting, unable to walk/move, unable to consume food or water, high fever, yellowing/paleing of skin, and Extreme hallucination.
Usually lasting twice 3 times as long as a normal trip but also depends on how much of the drug is used.

While experiencing a death trip one may acknowledge life lessons, experience extreme deja vu, have vissions of past life, and possibly learn there lesson about the power of these hallucingens.

Bob: I experienced a Death Trip last weekend. I had two hits of spongebob blotter paper and ate a couple of stems of Liberty caps.

Ted: Really? How was it?

Bob: I spent the remainder of my weekend tripping off the blobs crawling on my arms and puking up fridays night's taco bell.

Ted: Wow, sounds bad.

Bob: yeah... Hence the name.
