    Yeah, my cousins got caught building rockets with cardboard tubes and gun powder before I got to play with them. They managed to launch several above the 50-foot limit. So they said. Well, we just had to turn back to the BB gun next. Oh, and do not fear; I know a lot of kids who still manage to do perfectly creative and stupid things.

    Whereas kids should be left to have games outdoors that may be dangerous (tree-climbing, reckless bike riding, etc.), manufacturers may be deemed liable for making faulty products that may become harmful. In this case, the amount of radioactivity seems to have been minimal, since the negative effects of radioactivity were known well enough to avoid making a really dangerous kit. Plus the price of radioactive material was high, possibly.

    I wouldn't take the article as seriously as some of the readers do? "Even more uncertain is the long-term impact of being raised by the kind of nerds who would give their kid an Atomic Energy Lab." is a line way too tempting to be avoided. The 50s fascination for anything "atomic" seems quite weird a few decades later that not going for the joke would have been a sin. And I think Jerry also some toys with sharp edges and gun powder too.

    It seems one just has to ask. Swell! Thanks a lot, Colin.

    Yeah, I've read the last line, but from past experience, I know full well that the next chapter could perfectly start the morning after their wedding night, with Dennis pondering over what he was told in the car, without letting us poor readers know what it was...

    Nice tattoo. Still partial to ever getting one, but this makes me wonder...

    I voted "None of the above..." All hail the King!

    Hmmm. Ryan wasn't given the manual on How To Be a God. It seems he might trigger some discussion and firefighting in Heaven. Great story, I hope 10 is on its way. The Talon Express? Seems like a reference to something I know of, just can't pinpoint what or whom...

    This leads to the new chapter discussed here. Families can be different, very different. Gerald's folks are quite unpleasant, so in contrast Dennis can look cool-headed and quite tame. Then we're given a glimpse of Dennis and Gerald's intimate life. This is light and nicely told, not dwelling on the raunchy aspect, though it could be the foreword to some much hotter scene too. And damn! Peter comes to their wedding! What's going on? Will we ever get to know what was in the letter? I guess we just have to stay tuned and see what the author's cooking...

    Nicely done. Anyone skilled enough to add the spreadsheet version of this?
  11. Bondwriter
    It's in his blog.

    Yes, it seems The Scar's ways have a bad influence on readers... *sighs* By the way, did you notice the Latin influence on the title? Does it come from the Rome discussion there was earlier on?

    A rock singer would, I guess. I've seen many who do, and manage quite well.

    No congrats from me, I agree with Jack Frost, and I've made it clear celebrating quantity was not my thing. But millions of thanks and hugs for your good humor, genuine attention to others, heartfelt concern and clear extensive posting. Should there be an ISO certification in Postwhoring Quality, you'd set a standard to be followed and taught.

    Late, but willing to wish you a happy birthday nonetheless, my Welsh fellow. I'm not sure who's right on your age, but it's too late to change the candle.

    This was well done IMO. Adam is just a secondary character, whose sole narrative purpose is getting killed, but he's introduced enough to the reader so that the murder appears really evil.
  17. Bondwriter
    I agree with Gary. Time to bring in some action, besides the little boys games these youngsters play. The Scar rules! The poor guy who crosses his path should have been less curious. Nicely done character, by the way, and I'm no longer kidding.

    In Nifty's defense, I'd imagine the agreement is also a way not to spend lots of time maintaining the site and having to cater to authors' requests all the time, since it's not a very big operation from what I understood. I'd think being polite and considerate should get you what you want from the site.

    I'm quite surprised since he has this shirtless fetish too. No Speedos, though. I'm quite puzzled as to what will become of The Scar's hands. Vladimir should surprise us with something unexpected, it's been hinted too much already that he was to disappear at the end of the job. Unless, of course, the bomb does blow up and The Scar's plans actually work. This surely would bring an unexpected ending.

    Goat in a Shell.
  22. Bondwriter
    Goats in Black
  23. Bondwriter
    Goat in a Bottle. (Somehow, Time in a Goat doesn't work as well...)

    I think you and Shadowgod were the only people I made death threats to on behalf of the way you treated your characters as if they were puppets. But not because of the cliffhangers per se.

    It might sound unpopular, but all of Eric's nice adventurous skills are kind of set off by his using small animals for pulling pranks. Boldness, yes, recklessness, no! Pranks, yes, torture, no! It's good Jerry brings back some values in this story: hard work, empowering key players with achievements, aiming at one's goal and following it...
