    Playoffs?

    MikeL replied to wildone's topic in The Lounge

    I realize most of those who have commented take hockey very seriously and have used good logic in picking the winners (in most cases). A big part of the pre-playoff discussion is the inevitable sniping that sports writers direct at the opponent's hometown. You may enjoy reading an especially good article published in this morning's Tennessean: David Climer: In Nashville vs. Anaheim, one is Mickey Mouse. It was written in response to an article in the Orange County Register.

    I'll be watching...really like that show. For those who don't know, Jack has posted chapter 13, "Not That Wandering Jew", of That's the Chicago Way. Enjoyed the chapter, Jack. I'm always amazed at how easily news people get the story that the gendarmerie can't. I guess some people just like to talk, only not to the cops. Perhaps Evan will straighten up and fly right (in some respects) now that he has squeaked by and squealed all in one day.

    Since"y" is sometimes a vowel, usually pronounced as if it were "i", I havetaken the liberty of using a word which starts with "ix". ixodid (Yes, it's a real word, http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ixodid, and I know the perfect word to follow.

    Uh oh! Mich had a bad day (chapter 17) and we have to wait to find out what happened. Good chapter, John. How much time has passed since Mich's birthday?

    It's always fun working with you, CJ. Your stories are always interesting and every one is unique in some way. I want to thank you, too, for the work you did formatting my anthology entry. That was really neat.

    That was a great birthday outing Coop planned. He had a busy time lining up all those people to give Mich clues. Good, fun chapter, John.

    Jack has released Chapter 12, "The Fat Lady Almost Sings", of That's the Chicago Way. Another great chapter, Jack. The story is developing fast, both here at GA and in the fictional newsrooms you have created. Kris really received a lesson in real world living. Too bad .

    Finish what you started. Traveling around the country would be interesting but totally without pecuniary value.

    We use Open Office software on both a laptop and a desktop computer. All of the programs work well. If you share files with others, such as editors and proofreaders who have Word software, Open Office will let you save your documents in that format (.doc) so the others will not have any problems. Happy writing.

    I am part French, but my surname is strictly Anglo-Saxon. I just don't like seeing frogs (the amphibian creatures) or any part of their anatomy on a menu .

    How would you like to do this every day to earn a living? http://www.liveleak....80365%26embed=1 Have another suggestion for the jaded member?

    The trouble with being punctual is that nobody is there to appreciate it.

    There are a lot of fish in the sea. If he wants to be friends, be his friend. Don't expect more. Find someone closer to home and go swimming with them; your chances of a lasting relationship are better there. BTW...your English is great! Best wishes.

    Oy?

    You do realize, I hope, that every time an English speaker refers to a Frenchman as a "frog", frogs the world over are insulted.

    Jack has posted Chapter 11, "Stormy Clouds" of That's the Chicago Way. Frog menu? FROG MENU!? There should be a law against anuracide. Who would put frogs on a menu? Some wacko chef. Seriously...great chapter. The story's pace has really picked up as should be expected when AOI is involved although it sounds as if their part has concluded. I'm already looking forward to the next chapter, Jack
