OK, when CJ posts the title, he usually sends the chapter for zeta-reading soon after. So I'll speculate while I'm still unaware of what his devious mind may have produced. Lump's Return: 1/ Lump got really high, passed out and comes back to consciousness. He appears for seven lines in the chapter. 2/ Lump gets out from his apartment to run some errand; he comes back to his apartment and crosses the path of the Scar on his way back. Two paragraphs. 3/ Lump decides to resign from the band and to check into a Betty Ford Center. He goes back home to get money from his parents. Four paragraphs. 4/ Lump comes back to the studio. As he's about to enter the practice room, he hears the band rehearsing. Brandon's voice is so much better than his that he goes out and blows his own brains out. Two paragraphs.

Yes, congratulations, Krista. For your fun or serious posting, for your good humor, your nice replies to comments in your forum, your insightful and personal blog. So, OK, this is post 1,000, though I have a few threads to go visit soon. Thanks to all these who wrote the stories to comment, who commented them, and had fun threads going on in the Lounge. And those who're all three, they know who they are. Even the Lurker. Without you, my friends, none of this masterful feat would have been possible. Thanks to Andy for opening this thread. Remember, Andy, that when in Texas, look behind you, 'cause that's where the Lurker is gonna be...

Definitely the least convincing of the arguments, especially since you were so viciously vilified by the Goat itself. Otherwise the Capricans sounds like a nicer cult. Tree-hugging, heart-bleeding, zodiac loonies. I like it.

The Herd sounds quite cultish to me. It makes me think of blind followers. And we saw many times how CJ's fans weren't like this. So this name would be paradoxical.

I'm from Picardie. It's farm land, where potatoes, sugar beets, corn and wheat are grown. The particular district I live in the Somme District, is mainly famous for its battle in 1916 during WWI. Hence, we have lots of U.S., British, Australian, South-African, Canadian, New Zealand cemeteries throughout the countryside. When I lived in the midwest, the landscapes were not that exotic. Besides having lots of cemeteries, and farm land that's more and more managed by big business rather than farmers, we have lots of unemployment in what used to be late 19th century industries, like textile. My hometown features a famous cathedral, which brings bus loads of tourists roaming around, and strolling through the streets. My neighborhood has been largely remodeled to be super cute for the tourists. It is, and I still enjoy the view and scenery as I walk around. Having lived in other places, I like it here mainly because I have lots of friends and relatives. It's not too expensive; I'm one hour and a half away from the center of Paris. It's reasonably big for cultural venues, and there is some beautiful countryside within walking distance.

I'm quite sure they'd use the recipes, but also the bazookas and missiles needed to fight against these vicious creatures/ critters. The graphic pictures are almost unbearable. I hope all the people who voted for the goat-related names in the polls know what they're doing. Some of them might regret now.

the unlikely ones (give away too much...) Close Encounter of a Drooly Kind. When Tongues Collide. most likely: Fun Picnic Afternoon The Great Show Disaster

Rats are a pack also. I'm just being a sore loser anyway.

The Herd? Why not The Flock? Or The Pack while you're at it? (Did you guess I did not vote like the eight supporters...)

Indeed. By the way, I've seen CSI Las Vegas, and Casino. So Nevada (and its area 51) doesn't seem to have to be envious of Arizona for its weirdness. How do they eat their pizza in Nevada? (CJ's sure trick to spot the loony... )

I'm not surprised weird things take place in Arizona. I've seen Medium.

In the light of the latest goat feuds, what about "the Capricious"? Mwahahah!

:lol: Think twice before voting for a goat name; it seems these two are gonna be head-butting soon. Graeme had warned against the high risk of a misleading title. I'd say it should take three or four more chapters for Brandon and Chase to find out they're mutually attracted. And three or four more before they do something about it.

Uh, shouldn't this be CJ's Kids?

Goats! Again? They're everywhere, about to take the world...

A flood of chocolate... And good wishes! Happy Birthday, girl!

Chocolate is good, even the day after one's birthday... Happy Birthday, Kevin!

This thread is indeed going to Hell in a Hand Basket, isn't it? Good news: this means the next chapter will be posted soon. You know, the one entitled The Kiss.

Well, yes, but it turns out he's the victim of the vicious campaign launched by the Goat. And should I remind you his name means "Lamp of the Gods"? Just saw Return of the Mummy last night (with Brendan Fraser ) and I don't feel like messing up with them Gods...

This awfully looks like a spoiler to me.

Being in hospital always sucks. Get well soon, Bard!

Happy Kick-ass Birthday, Ian!

A good conspiracy will always manage to point out a good scapeperson, won't it? That's interesting, because I felt like it did change the tone dramatically, but that it worked OK, because the Scar's episodes were really short. They're quick and give a little info about the spy story that develops in parallel. Were they equal in length to the rest, maybe they'd be boring or distracting, unless of course the Russian railroads were the scene of hot romance. What do other readers think? As for the goat erotica, I hope it won't get Conner's and CJ's hormones boiling...

Happy Birthday, though a bit late!

Well, Well, the minion is turning against his master... Haven't we seen this before? So, chapter 5. No hot sex scene in the derelict hotel, no attack in the seedy part of town (I was fearing this when the car stalled), and a cool property in Bel-Air. It all is shaping up well. I think CJ should beware of the Russian railways he happily scorns, because next time a goat with glasses boards the Trans-Siberian, it is quite likely to be sheared, tarred and feathered! (BTW, Conner, thanks for bringining me into your explanations of the abbreviated version of the old Wild West treatment. Masterful way to put the blame on someone else. )
