Goats are good. Just don't get in the way of a stampede of 'em...

Emoe!!! Awww, what a thing to say about shy and quiet me.... Speaking of things... I've seen no comments regarding what The Scar and Dimitri are up to in this chapter... So I need to ask; was it clear? Or was I too vague? BTW, I do research the technical details, so it's accurate, right down to the natural radioactivity of Granite. As an interesting side-note, the radioacivity from granite is enough to give a higher level of background radiation in New York's Grand Central Station (a granite building) than would be allowable in most workspaces in a nuclear power plant.

Shameful, shameful! That is unfair to deprive a goat of the internet... I'd have thought that an Echidna would be more sympathetic on this issue.

Anytime! I'm a lurker, so I'm very good at not mentioning things, and not saying much of anything, really.

Well, now every main character except Brandon and Chase knows its mutual. LoL. But, remember, the story timeline is less than a week since they met. That, however, will be speeding up a bit soon. By the time Brandon and Chase figure it out, maybe they'll be too old to do anything about it? Awww, but Camy, the chapter title was quite correct; there was a kiss. Ack! But I'd look horrible in feathers! Thanks!!! Hmmm, should I mention that, prior to some major editing in response to Ieshwar's threat to stop calling me a lurker, things went a little differently... But I had to delete the kiss between Brandon and Chase and the huge sex scene it led to, and have The Scar and Dimitri kiss instead. Nah, I probably shouldn't mention that.... Thanks LC!!!

Hrmmm, Graeme, do you have goats? If so, I do hope you treat them properly? And James, thank you for your suggestion for a name... I love it, and with a slight change to Capricans, I really love it. It's a single word, pluralizes easily, and I like it. I'll try to pull a few strings and see if I can get it on the runoff poll.

Get well soon Vance. We miss ya!

But... But... But... You got what you asked for! You said there had better be a kiss, and there was!! And don't forget, we have only two choices for any blame: Ieshwar, and Shadowgod. Thanks! I do remember those being called "Aussie" in IM, but, many places call things "aussie" just to make them different. No conspiracy; you said you would stop calling me a lurker if there was a kiss between Brandon and Chase. Brandon and Chase have their hangups... and maybe they'll start wondering where the hand-holding might have led had they not been interrupted. Ack!! But Conner, what about Goatish solidarity, and goats sticking together, and all that?

Thanks! Now, now, you wanted a kiss in this chapter, and there was one... That's them! What are they? I am not evil, there *IS* a kiss in there! Do a word search on the chapter, it's there, honest! Ever heard the expression: "They're always the last to know." Lol. I'm basically getting some good background advice. I spoke with a real-life band manager about this story, and I know a little about the movie industry, so I basically tried to put the pieces togeter. Also, I'm getting advice from my team, and doing some searching. Fixed the link, thanks! Rats, you got to it first. Lol. Now, yes, there was indeed a kiss, as demanded! Can't say I didn't try to please... However, as for anything between Chase and Brandon, I couldn't! Ieshwar threatened my lurker status if I did... They did hold hands though! So, as I see it, for anyone not entirely pleased with Chase and Brandon's advancing romance, we have two choices; Blame Ieshwar or Blame Shadowgod.

Oops! I was going on a picture I saw in an "International Male" catalog, probably ten years ago; a very short pair of shorts, and they did have laces (Drawstring in a ziz-zag pattern) at the front, and they were called "Aussie" Ummm, Aussie something... I thoguht it was football shorts.. maybe rugby? I'll see if I can find an example of what I meant... Thanks!!!! And that breakfast scene was fun. So too, was the kiss.

Chapter 6, "A Kiss", Is up. Thanks Joe! And I know I said that the title would be "The Kiss" not "A Kiss", but I forgot. You can't expect a goat to remember totles perfectly, ya know..

He's right! Me too: I didn't know that about the page view settings. We shall see... I'm preparing the HTML files now BTW. Goats, much like elephants, never forget.

Shadowgod and I are not one and the same... He's just to blame for anything eeevil (such as alleged cliffhangers) in my stories. Because you are eeevil? I've voted too... Awww, Soliciting Bribes... Eric taught you well. Sounds good to me!

I've been offline since last night, so hadn't seen this! Wow, that's some list! And surely Goats should have the right to vote? Otherwise it's discrimination against the four-footed, and the Echidna (and more to the point, his spines) might have something to say about that.

Just to be difficult, let me ask this: Shouldn't that be CJ's Kidds as oppsed to Kids?

I couldn't agree more... Because, with my flair for the convenient typo, the next installment of LTMP happens to be called "Chpater 6: The Kiss" So, sorry, you are still to blame. Welcome to my world! Yep, it will be soon. I'm mailing it to Joe tomorrow for posting. Pages contain 25 posts.

Sharon had "Goatwhisperers" And Aillie had "Minions".

She doesn't stock DVD's, calls 'em "Newfangled, complicated crap". I do have a DVD player though, got it last year. I just haven't much use for it. LoL Bear in mind that her "movie store" in an alcove the size of a walk-in closet off a small general store that she owns. I'm pretty sure that she has under 200 titles, total, and most of 'em Disney type stuff. She won't carry anything above a PG rating anyway. She gets away with it becuase she's the only rental place for an hour's drive in every direction. They've got a blockbuster video store in another town, but that's well over an hour's drive each way for me, so I rarely use it. They do have DVD's though. In fact, I think they went all DVD this year.

Thank you, oh Echidna! I'm always sweet, nice, shy and quiet, and I always do the right thing. Huh??? That is a very strong threat, Ieshwar! We all know how I treasure my precious reputation as a lurker... And what you just said is if Brandon and Chase kiss, then you won't call me a lurker anymore? That's just too much of a threat for me to face... I'm going to have to seriously consider giving in on this one, and not having Brandon and Chase kiss... So, if there's no between Brandon and Chase in upcoming chapters, It's IESHWAR'S FAULT! It appears that I do! And Spineproof ones too!!!

Absolutely!!!! Considering that I'm a Danimal and a Domoholic myself, it can't be exclusive!

Kevin!!! Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you have a GREAT day, and an even better year! Congratulations and many happy returns!

Sounds like you had a GREAT trip! Welcome back Jan!!!

I've seen none of the movies listed; I rarely watch TV or movies, and I think the last movie I saw in a theater was "Titanic". I do occasionally rent movies, but the local video store has a poor selection; only "family" recent stuff, nothing with an "R" rating, etc. They are also a real PITA if you forget to rewind, and charge you a buck extra AND you get snarled at by the old lady who runs it.

Ack!!! Noooo!!! Don't say that, the Echidna will turn me into a pincushion! It's not a spoiler... I didn't say what would happen... So please, Echidna, no spines!!

Awwww, whatever did I do... Poor, shy, quiet, innocent me..... It's not my fault! It's Shadowgod's fault! But thanks for calling me a lurker. But, but, but... Aillie isn't a lurker, he's got nearly 100 posts! I forgot to answer this earlier, sorry: The reason for that is I knew more than one Lesbian in college who was very much like that (Including my best friend). However, Helen and Betty are nowhere near as forceful. LoL I also had other reasons: in FTL, Betty was written to be a lesbian becuase I needed someone for Chris to feel safe coming out to, (mentioned way back in the prologue, i think) and in Helen's case, I thoguht it fit will with a bossy band manager who was gay (and thus shared some expirainces with Brandon) and for a reason i can't mention becuase it hasn't occurred yet.
