Happy Birthday!

My anecdotal take on cross-dressing is that it is mainly a straight fantasy. So a little boy wanting to dress up as a woman is not more likely to be gay, IMO.

Happy Bday!

I'm a thread killer, am I not?

I've watched quite a few. It's pretty good, but having gone into a Law & Order (NY) binge a few months back, it's a bit of a spoiler since the plots are rigorously the same. I'll check the Bill. I did get an episode from this Brit TV site I'm on, but I wasn't enraptured with this first try. Brit shows to check out: Jonathan Creek, "howdunit" mysteries: a magic technician figures out baffling mysteries, and mainly the tricks used to perform murders or thefts, clever and with a nice tone. Comedy relief from his magician employer and his female sidekick. And Midsomer Murders: a rural county plagued with hidden family secrets and super devious murderers.

Cool song. Thanks to Google translate, I was able to see that YouTube comments were filled with homophobia in any language. Plus it's about cross-dressing. I don't know what his dad tells him, so if there's a reference to being gay. One of my fellow musicians' sons (age 7) loves wearing disguises: he's got a tinker bell costume, a princess costume, and a bunny rabbit costume. All pink. His parents don't worry too much about it. It's just a bit difficult to find video games for boys with tons of pink and purple in them.

This guy won't wear purple today...

No. But darn meddling kids that thwarted the (carefully) laid out plans of the villain. (Usually, the museum curator or the sheriff)

I did state in the chapter 48 thread that this wasn't a cliff hanger. If my impartiality is not to be discussed, of course.

I'll say it's not TECHNICALLY a cliffhanger, since it all takes place in the sea already. As for your emotional distress, and maybe this of other people in this thread, my (shady) lawyer tells me that some sort of class action can be undertaken. Considering the insane amount of money I'm paid for zeta-reading, I'll tell you, we're not dealing with a goat, but the proverbial golden goose. Come on, a night of insomnia (and, having read the rest, I'll tell you, ) and all the associated trauma caused by such an inhuman author, you might get yourself a few nice trips around the globe at the goat's expense. Just saying...

The pic I used for my birthday party invitaion (which is two weeks after my actual birthday, hence the pic will be the celebrated age). I didn't have any taken of me in such a merry mood since.

I've read a bit about them over the years. I never came across any info on them being gay. Brian Wilson has suffered from mental illness from early on, and he fell prey to some health/artistic mentor/guru in the late 80s. But that's the juiciest gossip I have.

Thanks a lot, people. Disclaimer: not too much into goats myself, but knowing a wealthy one, as proved above, ensures you a steady inflow of beef. Though CJ did not post the nicest of the sex slaves he's provided over the years, I guess he doesn't want to be harassed for more... Oh, and I should go change my profile, I actually turned 40 yesterday.

Having been accused of writing phony content to smear CJ, I need to clear these dreadful accusations. What better solution than providing a video of the meeting between Willy Bite, CJ's lawyer, and my own, Eileen Down? I must say that such intrepid investigative journalism might, besides getting me a Pulitzer and hopefully obtaining the recognition of some higher government bodies, but it might also shock the most sensitive of the participants in this forum. It is a short excerpt of a much longer conversation, which might be posted if the legal matters concerning such highly questionable material are cleared up.

He played Oscar Wilde; of course, being an actor, it's not necessarily a sure clue. He's got a great novel (partly autobiographical) called The Liar, which leaves little ambiguity. And the documentary he did about manic depressives that Smarties refers to is great. There's a very funny Carrie Fisher interview.

They're cool. Some say a bit heavy, but that's what I like in them. And cheaper than the real stuff, not exactly as good, but a third of the price too, thanks to Taiwanese children.

The right to make a citizen. Civil union doesn't recognize this. My sister married a guy from the US, she lives and works there, after they lived for a few years in France when they first married 13 years ago. Though they underwent annoying administrative procedures in both countries to get the needed papers to live there, they have a stable situation and they may even choose where they want to live. They have no children, by the way, which doesn't jeopardize their situation. One of my friends and possible house mate is from South America (he might move in, but financial/ family situation makes it seem unlikely, but well, this is another issue). Regardless of the nature of the relationship (we're friends, not committed lovers), it's not even theoretically possible to envision a long-term relationship. The civil union we have here won't give me the same rights my sister has. Of course, a broader, non-partisan coalition to gain anti-discrimation laws could be a plus for all US citizens. They exist at state levels, when I was a TA in Iowa we used the Iowa Civil Rights Act to get full health insurance coverage for same-sex partners.

That's interesting. I really expected to be disappointed. If you don't buy the modernisation gimmick after ten minutes watching, I may imagine it's annoying. I got a much more Sherlock Holmesy pleasure watching this than the Robert Downing Jr version, the script of which seemed a bit bloated, and not worthy of Conan Doyle. For me, it made for an OK movie, but not an awesome Sherlock Holmes story. I really liked the Watson/ Holmes dynamic. My feeling was also that Sir Arthur's great plots actually stood the trial of time, these films (two so far) being much better than most modern TV mysteries. I thought that the 80s/90s version with Jeremy Brett were the definitive adaptations; in my opinion, these do add something to the Sherlock Holmes lore.

Guess I know how I'll celebrate... Or, like this, maybe?

The very exclusive excerpt I uncovered to the risk of experiencing the echidna's wrath is written in the style of Dan Brown. Proof this is a genuine CJames text, as Dan Brown was one of his results. My own stories come out as written like Douglas Adams and David Foster Wallace. By the way, my lawyer knows how to handle spines.

Anybody's seen this? Sherlock's page on BBC site. Glib, funny, tons of great ideas. And Benedict Cumberbatch is a great Sherlock Holmes. (Quite a hot/ cute one too...) I had doubts on the modern day transposition when I read about this a few weeks ago, but they made it to work amazingly well. Being a Hustle enthusiast also, I'm impressed by the quality of BBC fiction.

Let's enlighten the youthful masses, then. And judging from the comments on Steven Tyler, who's one of my heroes, I'll stick to watching Aerosmith videos.Not that I ever watched American Idol anyway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark

I watched the first episode. It's quite good, though I'd imagine people who read the book (which I didn't) might be disappointed. It's 56 minutes, they could easily have made it one hour and a half, because it's fast paced and quite close to being rushed. As you have many characters and at least two big story-lines being developed at first, you need to focus to get who's who. But overall a pleasant watching experience. Gave me the occasion to go back checking on English history (to discover the many inaccuracies in the film... Which doesn't matter much.)

Turning back to old solutions. Forest fires in southern France were unknown of while the hills were used by shepherds, as seen in the pics of the site you linked. I did some volunteer work in my teens there, and cutting the undergrowth is quite a painstaking task. Some of the people in charge did advocate more grazing, but I'm not quite certain it has been undertaken on a wide enough scale. One little question: the Gay Straight Alliance is involved with goats? I'd say CJ must be behind this one too.
