  1. Against $1,000 transferred to my C.I. account, I can offer you something that will help you to stand severe LTMP withdrawal symptoms.
  2. Happy Birthday!
  3. UPDATE! Still being zeta-read, before being converted into HTML, then eventually posted by Joe. It could take up to 24 hours.
  4. The example I gave comes from a guy who uses the manga trick of filling in the page with lots of little bits of text for humorous intent, or for characterization. (see below) This wouldn't work in a novel or text-only story. In a story you can use words to carry the same ideas. There are many ways to convey the sounds of a voice, and many verbs to describe the laughing sounds. To laugh, chuckle, chortle, etc. Of course, to be used sparingly; a simple "he laughed" making the trick. Copyright C-Boy
  5. Since you're a dog from Arizona, it wouldn't be this surprising. What would become really kinky is the cat enjoying it...
  6. No. Though I'm only two hundred miles away from Wales at the most, here it is cloudy but with a little bit of sun every now and then. And it's not cold, though it's not really hot. The person below me is facing new challenges for the year to come.
  7. This: http://www.easypeasy.com/anagrams/ Have fun. I used a better one a while back, but I couldn't find it again.
  8. Here is something I got from a reader, who also writes and draws manga-style comics, hence the advice is not exactly relevant to text-only stories, but this had the merit of having me think about it. (I had spelled the laughter "Ah, ah!" as we do in French.) I got a smile out of this.
  9. Actually, both could happen. They might also get caught by paparazzi somewhere. Remember the title might also refer to the Scar, we got fooled with the kiss stuff. Yes, and no discrimination towards dogs, goats won't like this, will they?
  10. Happy Birthday! (No Birthday Cake, but a little )
  11. Yes, I own a jumper knitted for me by someone else. Two, actually. Do you own a record by Elvis Presley?
  12. Go, Capricans, Go!!!
  13. The Devil's Throat could be either the Balkans (nice place for spy stories) or Hawaii, since CJ is a Hawaii enthusiast. Meeting at a volcano is always evocative. When I read the chapter, I thought it would be some pass in the mountains, because of the fear of heights. By the way, Graeme, you forgot to mention that The Scar would certainly be referred to. And that some starch-rich food would be consumed.
  14. Is it a terrarium?
  15. I just went for those using all the letters. And I used a convenient site that rakes its brains for you. I selected a few only. Border Twin Tinder Brow Biter Drown Brown Tried Drown Tribe Newt Orb Rid Bind Err Tow Bird Net Row Bird Nor Wet Bird Row Ten Bond Err Wit Born Red Wit Born Rid Wet Bred Nit Row Bred Nor Wit Bred Rot Win Bred Row Tin Town Red Rib Twin Orb Red Brew Dirt No etc...
  16. The anti-Muslim point has been made quite a few times on this site. I have no particular interest in defending religion of any kind, and especially not fanatics who oppress and murder; I just don't like inflammatory hate rhetoric of any kind, and I strongly disagree with a lot of the so-called "clash of the cultures" explanations developed over the last few years. As any simplistic theory, it allows targeting one single enemy to explain all evils. Scapegoat, anyone? Our world is somewhat more complex than this. And moderate, well-balanced Muslims exist. I know some. Imagine the uproar if Christianity was equaled to the most conservative Born-Again preachers. Thanks for documenting your reply, James. By the way, in August 1572 in France, close to 30,000 people were slaughtered because they were protestants, by their fellow-Christian Catholics. Talk about en masse. I don't think this thread should even be here in the first place.
  17. I wonder about this too. I always lose in polls. I did vote for Capricans, by the way. Would my support have triggered opposition of people who want to meet Dimitri and The Scar in the flesh?
  18. Well, Bob, the way to get comments is the use of voodoo dolls. Look how he turned Bob D. into a dog to have a worshiper. When Black Magic's at work, anything can happen.
  19. No source is given, the rhetoric is the anti-immigrant rhetoric that dates back to decades (I could find the same far right-wing stuff in the 1890s press about Italians or Poles who "don't want to adapt"), and it's always the same "being a proud white western male will get you attacked by the PC police". This has nothing to do here, sorry.
  20. No, I never had one of those. I have a M&Ms dispenser, though. Do you own Star Wars toys or collectibles?
  21. Bringing this old thread back up. New story Jack heard from: http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/relationships/cinque-ports/
  22. Do you mean complicated and run by shady characters?
  23. Happy Birthday! Let it be a day of fun and happiness in your household.
