Topic. For Clueless camping. I only came in at the end.

Hey Tim, @BHopper2 made me realize that all the links related to your CC chapters are scattered throughout that topic. Do you want me to compile a list of all the links and which chapter they relate to? I want to make it easier for new readers to find them.

Oh, yeah, I should have realized, since you left lots of nice comments for me.  I was so tired last night, my brain wasn't working properly.

Hey, Tim!  When might the next episode of The Cardmaker and the Caretaker post, and the next episode of the wonderful Timothy's Terrible Prompt Stories, and the next Angie and Imp story appear?  Looking forward to each!

@Headstall, I thought I’d heard something like that line in an ad for one of those fancy caffeinated energy drinks…

Which reminds me of a line in Midnight Express (when Billy Hayes is walking in the ‘wrong direction’ around a stone sculpture in prison)…

I’ve only seen it on a small screen. I cannot imagine the impact of the big screen!

 

But it’s too bad they made a couple decisions while fictionalizing the story. One to deny real-life Billy’s bisexuality and his sexual relationship with Erich the Swede (possibly justifiable due to the social conditions at the time). The other was to exaggerate the violence, again for marketing reasons. But the movie is a product of its time. It would necessarily be very different if it were made today.

 

But Midnight Express is lightyears better than the movie that real-life Billy Hayes directed: Southside (aka Cock and Bull Story in the US).

It in the dark theater, it was astonishingly oppressive. At times I felt ill... but it was riveting... yeah, that scene with Erich was a copout... but for the time, it was still evocative

In fact, the most popular character in one of my stories happens to be the straight brother of one of the gay characters.

@BHopper2 if you haven't read Tim's story yet, this is one of many reasons why you should.

I’m revising my estimate for when we get to read about Prom. It’s now 2030. Maybe.  ;-)

It's on the "To Read" list. If it's like Clueless Camp, then I suspect I'll enjoy it thoroughly.

  your posts here made my day. Sigh, yes there are several first line prompts begging my attention to move on with Rob and the Prom.

Not to mention my CC story.
