Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Have a safe and happy holiday weekend. Jan

We had our first snow fall of the season Sunday into Monday. Only about a half inch locally but the farther north you go, the more they got. For Turkey day, the forecast is the high in the low to mid 60's and pm rain. Jan

Make that three.

Kevin, that could be a full time job following that young beast around and cleaning up after him. At least you don't have to clean up the Green Room at another site where there's a bunch of animals, me included. And some of those animals migrate over to here. Jan BTW Kevin, TIME TO DO IT.

As for the secret, it really wasn't a secret to us the readers. We knew early on that Brandon had a thing for Chase. And so did Eric, Jon, and Helen. The only one who didn't know it was Chase. Chase was too preoccupied to notice the the lyrics were about him when he first read them. I think the cliffhanger for this chapter is what's going to happen now as a result of Brandon's actions. Granted, he spent time roaming the stage to be with Jon and Eric, then move to Chase and sing the actual words to him, I smell a big time outing. Who will be the one to do it remains the question. (He, he. One more to go.) Jan

Actually, I was one of the backups that was to remind Joe in case he should forget. And since I jumped the gun with chapter 14, what can I say? Jan

Remind me not to apply for a job with Dimitri. The man is absolutely brutal. And since I'm the one making the first comments, I'll wait until more have had a chance to read before I say more. Jan

Guilty as charged. But at least it's still Tuesday. And I take it that at the time of this posting, you are taking care of that since I find CJ's site inaccessible at the moment. Jan

We're watching you like your watching me. Jan

Actually, no, I'm not on that poll list. I'm a lurker. Just a lurker I tell ya! Thanks Benji. Have a fun safe Holiday weekend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLINIAN!!!!!!! And may you have many, many more. Jan

Well, you joined us late Kevin. Not that anyone has been keeping an eye open on my post count, but this is #992 for me. So I expect sometime today or tomorrow to be hitting 1000. Jan

Agreed. This way, after he's back, we can harass the goat for the next chapter.

Prolific or Postwhore. It still means a lot of posting either way. Jan

I'll also add, the opposite is true also. There are days, when I wish people would leave me alone. Jan

Just chalk it up to the silliness that happens while we wait for the NEXT chapter. Jan

Looks like you got the 400th one Benji. Jan

Congratulations Graeme. Now we know why you've been posting so much. You wanted to keep things going while CJ is gone. Jan

And since Tuesday is the normal posting day, we've only got a few hours left.

Back in my younger days, I could eat all day and not gain weight. 391

I'll just add that we all go thru times like this and it passes. Jan

I've pretty much decided on NOT retiring early. I'd only be making half of what my monthly income is now. That would mean that I would have to get another fulltime job instead of a parttime one. Jan

Since we're trying to get to 400, I'll post this joke. Sorry no Goats in it, but we do have a cousin mentioned. The following shows that someone has got way too much time on their hands. Why Ask Why? Why is it when you sit around the house you don't actually sit around the house? Why do 10 pounds of groceries generate 50 pounds of garbage? Why is abbreviate such a long word? Why do you park in a driveway and drive on a parkway? What do you plant to grow a seedless watermelon? Why are they called apartments when they are so close together? Why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor when you can't drink and drive? Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds? Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii? Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes? Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations? If a 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors? How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the morning? If nothing sticks to TEFLON, how do they make TEFLON stick to the pan? If you tied buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropped it from a height, what would happen? If your vehicle is going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights? Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM? Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo? You know that little indestructible black box used on planes? Why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance? Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the radio volume? 1. Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things. 2. One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. 3. Atheism is a non-prophet organization. 4. If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes? 5. The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the badgirls live. 6. I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose. 7. Could it be that all those trick-or-treaters wearing sheets aren't going as ghosts but as mattresses? 8. If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap? 9. If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him...is he still wrong? 10. If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation? 11. Is there another word for synonym? 12. Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do practice?" 13. Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all?" 14. What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant? 15. If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages? 16. Would a fly without wings be called a walk? 17. Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them? 18. If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked? 19. Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? 20. Can vegetarians eat animal crackers? 21. If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent? 22. Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines? 23. How do blind people know when they are done wiping? 24. How do they get the deer to cross at that yellow road sign? 25. Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny? 26. What was the best thing before sliced bread? 27. One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people. 28. Does the Little Mermaid wear an algebra? 29. Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? 30. How is it possible to have a civil war? 31. If God dropped acid, would he see people? 32. If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown too? 33. If you ate pasta and antipasto, would you still be hungry? 34. If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done? 35. Whose cruel idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have a "S" in it? 36. Why are hemorrhoids called "hemorrhoids" instead of "asteroids"? 37. Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them? 38. Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song? 39. Where are we going? And what's with this hand basket? 40. If the "black box" flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn't the whole damn airplane made out of that stuff? 41. Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?

The posting schedule say it will be posted around the 18th, not on the 18th, Graeme. But I agree, Joe! Where's it at bud?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EMOE!!!!
