I have never seen so many leather queens, construction workers and cops in one place at one time, not even at the Mardi Gras party or the Sleaze Ball.

I have seen them twice, once as part of a large group of "night clubbers" and we saw them live at St George Leagues Club, surrounded by aged pensioners who were having a hoot and who were a hoot, and once many years later as a "support act" (with only a few of the original guys left) for Cher at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. Suffice to say many of the guys in the audience that night strongly resembled at least one of the guys from the group.

Well done lad. She is hot, and I just love the "vamp" look in the long lavender-coloured sparkly dress and the blonde wig. It is hard to believe she is going to be 70 years of age on Christmas day this year.

Now that was a BIG surprise. It is not Jake's father, Reginald, whom anyone has to be wary of, it is his mother Shanice. Perhaps her formative years in an abusive childhood in rural Louisiana has given her a backbone of steel and a resolve not to take shit from anyone, least of all a male someone. I have to say I had a great chuckle at the image of her showing up at Gerald Henderson's home at 3.00am, that alone must almost have stopped his heart. One has to wonder if she had a hand in his peaceful death one month later. If she did, good luck to her, he was an odious prick. Perhaps she can "correct" Jessica's behaviour. It will probably take another woman to "end" the reign of MarjorieLaurenSarahGinaHard-FacedBitchStirba. One thing I am a little confused by though @Avogadro1001 is Gerald's place in the family tree. At one point in this chapter you referred to him as Liam's grandfather which is what I had previously understood, but then in another you referred to Hank as being Gerald's grandson, which would make him Liam's great grandfather.

A teenage Ponyboy only? Now come on, don't be ashamed. ALL "real" men masturbate AND watch Can't Stop The Music without embarrassment. In fact, I can feel a yearning to watch it soon, which I can as I have it on DVD. And Steve Guttenberg (who is 66 years of age today) was soooooo hot, just a few years from being mega-hot in Cocoon. And that shower scene 🤪🤪🤪🔥🔥🔥🧯🧯🧯Jacques Morali must have watched a marathon of Busby Berkeley and Colt Studios gay porn films before that scene.

Literally and figuratively @Paladin. Who knew a spilt milkshake could be such an aphrodisiac. Men (predominantly) spend a fortune on pills and potions and flowers (not to mention oysters) to improve their sex life, when for $5.00 or less they could make and spill a milkshake for the same results.

The grumpy old man in me (who dominates in the winter months) would have responded to Guy with a "fuck you" when he made the accusatory statement "Okay I suppose. No need to ask you what it was like up here though, is there?". Guy really pissed me off. Clearly Tim at 17 is far more forgiving than I at 60 and far less prone to hold a grudge. If only I had his sense of forgiveness and maturity. Ben proved once again what a great friend he is with: "Nothing, mate. Nothing at all. It's just that . . .’ ‘Just what?’ ‘It's just that I'm really feeling for you now, that's all." Could he be any more wonderful. Conversely, Kevin is a "sixteen-year-old, obnoxious, homophobic slob!". I doubt he and his father will be around for long unless he improves his attitude. And now for @Al Norris and @Cane23's viewing pleasure I give them a song "written" for the final scene in this chapter (which I felt certain Kevin was going to walk in on and make some rude comment): Drink up boys; it'll put glitter on your "disco balls".

Even if she goes all glamorous "disco diva" (almost) on you @Al Norris?

Thank you @drsawzall. High praise indeed coming from you.

I will have you singing disco's praises yet @Cane23.

As a description of something most unladylike passing wind and passing gas are probably about equal in offence, and certainly I imagine far less offensive as a description than farting, dropping your guts or letting one rip. I recently heard it described on a Bette Midler album Mud Will Be Flung Tonight as "cutting the cheese". I had never heard this description before and I love cheese.

I am really a nice person, Carrie without telekinesis (un-fucking-fortunately). Move out of the way, Donald, Duck, oh that's too bad, you weren't quick enough.

OK @Avogadro1001 and @drsawzall is there something you boys would like to disclose to the rest of we lesser mortals about the men of Massachusetts, more specifically the blue-bloods of Boston? NEWSFLASH: Henry "Hank" Henderson, well-known wealthy mogul, notorious wife-beater and philanderer was found dead today; beside him the body of Jessica La Sgualdrina, high-class whore and the daughter of his fellow Bostonian and suspected mafioso, Vincenzo La Sgualdrina. Hank and Jessica sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G One pulled a gun and one pulled a knife And now they're dead, yip, yip, YIPPEE I cannot imagine living my life in fear of a spouse. I have to wonder if Emma has been totally honest with Dylan though. Was she blinded by her love for her husband or was it her love for the lavish lifestyle his inherited wealth brought that blinded her to his true character. And Dylan's mother, I am not sure I liked her very much in this chapter. She is just a little too fucking self-righteous to be questioning Dylan's motivations and behaviour. Whilst I scoff like Dylan and Helen both did at the excuses Emma tried to make for Liam's unacceptable behaviour, I can appreciate there may be some merit to her plea. Helen has acknowledged she is frightened of Hank, so why can she not appreciate that Liam may have been frightened of him too, violent towards Dylan because Daddy brainwashed or threatened with harm if he was not. Whilst we do not know Hank's attitude towards gay men, I can only but imagine gay men would not receive his ringing endorsement, and if one of those "cocksucking little fairies" was lusting after his son, why any father would do what he did to protect his manly offspring. What an "ugly" chapter @Avogadro1001, the "twin" of its fugly predecessor. The violence of Jessica, the hinted at violence of Jake and now the violence of Hank Henderson. Perhaps Hank might be bisexual and a badass "Daddy" interested in a bisexual three way with Jessica and Jake.

Even if only for one day I hope she is without her phone and make-up, has dandruff, halitosis, dysentery, vaginal itch and a urinary tract infection; is forced to shop at Wal-Mart and lives in a trailer home wearing last season's clothes and drinking cheap beer.

Ladies I have the pleasure of introducing our new leader who will lead us into a new world where moral justice prevails and our enemies, the faggots and other perverted wokes of this great nation, are eliminated. Ladies I give you, all the way from Boston, Massachusetts, the new president of Moms For Liberty, Jessica La Sgualdrina. Ladies and gentlemen it is my pleasure to introduce to you the Republican Party’s nominee for Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Jessica La Sgualdrina. Ladies and gentlemen it is my pleasure to introduce you to the Republican Party’s nominee for President of the United States of America, Jessica La Sgualdrina. Jessica is the epitome of evil. Marjorie, Lauren, Sarah, Gina Hard-Faced Bitch and Stirba all rolled into one dermal-filled, botoxed, collagen-plumped, infectious, mass of conceit and hatred. If Jake has murdered someone as Jessica has insinuated to Dylan, then he needs to "engage" with that evil and subliminally encourage Jake to murder Jessica. If Liam has assaulted his mother then I truly believe he has a neurological problem, possibly one caused by his meningitis. If harnessed correctly, his violent behaviour could perhaps be channelled and directed to a more deserving target. Jessica is one of the most despicable characters I have ever encountered in a story @Avogadro1001. She is poisonous and I can only hope that one day the poison which lives within her begins to take its toll on her physical appearance and health. Even the c you next Tuesday word is insufficient to describe her. Perhaps either you or your fellow Massachusettsian, @drsawzall, can arrange for her to meet Carrie, Damien and Freddie Krueger, when all three are tired and have had a really bad day.

Another wander into the Hugillverse, another delightful story sure to entertain and enlighten. Quintessentially English, replete with quirky local language, often hilarious character description and wit to spare.

OMG what a hilarious chapter @Robert Hugill, and to think Therese was the catalyst for much of the hilarity. She was such a surprise in person, not at all what I thought she would be. She neither talked with a plum in her mouth nor as if she had a stick up her arse or a bad case of haemorrhoids. When it was revealed she was a Human Resources Manager I had tears streaming down my cheeks from laughing so hard. Not even Jennifer Saunders or Dawn French could have chosen such a delicious stereotype for Therese to be. And when she opened the conversation with "What on earth did you feed Jane and Alisa on Sunday?" I immediately thought, here we go, she is going to admonish Ralph for feeding them lentils, thus ensuring they were most unladylike and farting for days (of course I assumed she would have said passing wind rather than farting). Maybe she is like Ralph, she just needs a good fuck to bring a touch of reality into her life. Perhaps she may have something in common with Beth which she does not even realise yet or is suppressing similarly to Ralph. I thought the speculation of Ralph and a swimwear model bonking like bunnies was too good to be true, however, Nolan may prove to be a most suitable substitute. The following almost caused a seizure, so hard did I laugh. I had an image of Ralph as a young Victor Meldrew, with a very disapproving look on his face that he was having such inappropriate and lustful thoughts. "An idle thought, wondering what lay under Nolan’s outwear led to Ralph's shocked realisation that the man's body interested him, the expanse of smooth pink belly gave Ralph ideas, and he started to imagine what lay underneath. He was not having fantasies about his children’s football teacher, just wasn’t! It was inappropriate in all sorts of ways. He shut down the thoughts quickly, locking them firmly away but not before an image of slipping those shorts down to reveal… An image that was disturbing in all sorts of ways." A truly magnificent chapter @Robert Hugill. Perhaps a visit from Keith and the lads from Fags for Football could give the girls a few pointers and Ralph a hands-free orgasm.

I am no expert on MTF or FTM transgendered humans either @Ticklishboy30, although I have known a few of the former, but I believe the worst thing one can do is treat them as if their transgendered status is the extent of their life. To do so "reduces" them to some kind of "freakshow", when in fact the majority just want to be treated as an ordinary human getting on with their daily lives like everybody else (this is my belief anyway). I am glad you have introduced Chris into the story. He has the added difficulty of not only being pregnant, but possibly pregnant to his uncle, and almost certainly pregnant as the result of being raped. I hope for Chris' sake his uncle did not "rent" him out for sex to "cure" him of his gender dysphoria. I like your idea of Chris bringing a purpose into Linda and Tom's life to keep them vital, however, I would caution them not to treat him as some kind of "project", which will be easier said than done. Although I am not at all religious, I believe Maureen, in addition to the entire extended family, will be what will save Chris. Given the situation he currently finds himself in he may be very vulnerable to suicide or at least suicidal thoughts. Whatever happens, he must be protected from his abusive uncle at all costs. The leprechaun should be assigned to protect him. And finally @Ticklishboy30 as soon as I read "Fuck! I'm a boy. This can't be happening. Chris Holman shook his head while looking at the plastic object in his hands, with tears dripping down his bruised cheeks. Inside, he felt like a boy, and he knew in his heart that he was a boy, but when the dirty blonde sixteen-year-old looked into the mirror, a girl stared back at him, and now, a pregnant girl.?" you had this old queen weeping like Anna Madrigal, with tears streaming down my face for the life this boy has lived and the difficulties he faces to become his true self.

Mmmm I am not so sure @Al Norris. Some of those male porn stars that can take a fist up past the elbow could probably do it. I just cannot understand how it is even possible to "rearrange the internal furniture" to such an extent. What is your take on this @weinerdog, being a man from California I am sure you have seen things that would make a gentleman such as yourself blush?

Dense is good @Avogadro1001, just like Emily Bronte's masterpiece Wuthering Heights, my favourite novel.

I hope there is a sign warning of the "DANGER" before I stumble across it @Avogadro1001 as I would hate to fall into such a cavernous space. Another educational moment. I had no idea what "GOAT" was. I initially thought it was something derogatory and was delighted that it was entirely the opposite. My profile name is the GOAT then - summer (Donna and the season) abba (the group) and cat (the GOAT animal species). Not always. Can't Stop The Music (the album and more particularly the film) is a guilty pleasure, but it never leaves a bitter aftertaste, more like "no taste" (which @Cane23 will "attest" to given my love of disco, particularly Boney M.).

@Cane23 I have pondered when reading several of the prior chapters how "cleansing" it would be if Carrie made an appearance at Montgomery High School. She would soon sort Jessica out for starters; her "snatch" would be toast in no time. Elle would have a great laugh at that burning Fire Down Below. Speaking of Jessica's snatch (OMG what a repulsive thought),"Whatever the case was, they were constantly making out in public and I prayed they’d stumble across the kind enough soul to lead them in a direction of a sign up page for OnlyFans." brought to mind two wonderful lines from the lyrics of Vicki Waiting from the Batman album by the late, great Purple one,"Who asked her lover "Why is your organ so small?" He replied, "I did not know I was playing' in a cathedral". I suspect Jessica may be the San Fernando Valley and Mojave Desert combined, and from the following observation made later by Dylan, she would need to be,"To be honest, I simply couldn’t believe it. For a moment, it felt like an optical illusion. It was hanging down along the side of his left thigh, the length of my entire forearm, and thicker than my wrist.". I laughed so much I snorted @Avogadro1001 when Dylan remarked "For some reason, I genuinely felt sorry for him. It almost felt like a disability, in a way.". It appears Liam may be John Holmes, Jeff Stryker and Chad Douglas combined. Quite possibly fascinating to look at in a WTF manner, but in reality what could most people do with it other than maybe pet it, kiss it and just hope that it does not hiss or spit at you, unless of course you are Jessica, the San Fernando snatch. This chapter was "educational" too @Avogadro1001. I have been wracking my brain for the last several chapters at least trying to remember the condition where a captive or victim of abuse falls in love with their captor or abuser. Lo and behold you revealed it in this chapter, Stockholm syndrome. Shame on me that I could not remember this given my absolute adoration of ABBA. And now for something shamefully pathetic. I found myself having some sympathy for Liam again. I truly believe he loves Dylan and is powerless to do so. I am still puzzled and revolted by the violence he has inflicted on Dylan, but feel absolutely no sympathy for trash like Jessica and Trish whom Liam has treated poorly. They are kindred spirits and have gotten no more or less than what they deserved. And finally, a comment I have been meaning to make previously, but keep forgetting to do so. It is testament to the quality of your writing and the detailed character development and event description that I find I cannot afford to "skim" over even one sentence in this story. The story is so dense that one has to absorb every word for not to do so could result in missing a vital nuance which changes the very meaning of what has been stated.

I thought of another child too @Anton_Cloche, but thought for sure Jill would remember him or her. It did not occur to me that the child might have been one born before her. The only thing which makes this unlikely is that the family moved from South or North Carolina (I think it was one of them or maybe Virginia or West Virginia) only within the last few years if I remember correctly, possibly on the run from authorities there. I felt sure you would have commented favourably on Steven's impending MRI as like myself you have expressed your concerns the blows to his head could have caused some neurological damage. Perhaps the shock of what Jill appears to have gone through overwhelmed you.

Yes and yes @Al Norris. I believe Dylan is shocked and disappointed in himself that he has "stooped" to Liam's level by trying to sever whatever toxic connection remains between them with such ferocious rage. I strongly suspect the gun is the key to what Liam knows about Jake. I sense Jake's "bubble has burst" or is on the verge of bursting with this find @Avogadro1001. The secreted gun appears to me to be inconsistent with the image Jake has cultivated to date, an image which I sense may be about to be blown to smithereens. Best case scenario, Jake and/or his father may be mixed up in some slightly shady dealings, such that Jake feels he needs protection; worst case scenario, Jake and/or is father are heavily involved in illegal activity such as drug importation or human trafficking, and have guns to not only protect themselves, but to "remove" those "obstacles" who get in their way. "Deaf and blind to my pleas, he stood there like a marble statue, beating the shit out of my boyfriend, completely unbothered by my fists, hitting him in the back. Blood gushed out of Jake’s nostrils, his legs got weak and gave out, but a fucking animal still held him up, mauling his face. His big fangs showed through bloody grin, he was razor focused, his motions sharp and deadly." Just for a moment @Avogadro1001 I despaired this story was taking a "paranormal" turn with Liam revealed to be some sort of half-human/half-were creature or the like, which although potentially entertaining, would not sustain my interest. Fortunately this does not seem to be the case. As has often been the case, particularly of late, I find myself again speculating similarly to the Conquistador of California, @weinerdog, that Liam may have a brain tumour or other neurological damage resulting from his childhood meningitis, which contributes to his bizarre behaviour. Two images in this chapter were amongst the most powerful in this story to date @Avogadro1001. "We got upstairs in no time, shouting voices echoed through the empty walls of the dining room, resembling Pompeian ruins after most of the people have purged themselves out." and "Poor Jason Wu couldn’t catch his breath, running like a hamster in the wheel, holding a baseball bat in his hand, but too afraid to use it on the troublemakers." The former invoked an image of crumbling beauty, the latter of sheer helplessness. The latter I found particularly distressing (not your fault @Avogadro1001) as I hate any forms of animal cruelty, and this reminded me of some of the scientific experiments performed on rats and mice in laboratories which I am vehemently opposed to.

I did not see that coming. Guy has presented to date as a confident, rational and calm young adult. Perhaps he should have had a non-singing part in the school musical as clearly he has "issues". His jealousy was completely unwarranted and unattractive. I could not but help think of the great video for the equally great song by the Eurythmics, one which is often overlooked, Who's That Girl. It seems Jonathon is not even a little bi-coastal @Al Norris and @Cane23. His boastful stories of his conquests with "chicks" a fabrication. You "flipped" this story on its head with this chapter @Mark Ponyboy Peters; suddenly Guy is the "angsty" one and Tim the quiet, rational one. I am sure they will resolve their differences and will enjoy the "making up" by "making out". Perhaps you could post a little of their reunion as a teaser at the start of the next chapter @Mark Ponyboy Peters.
