  1. I still haven't cast my vote either. My lawyer advised me not too, until he's filed all the proper papers. He says his friends in Tucson are pretty bad-ass. I love my lawyer.
  2. Well, sorry your name is Drewbie, but this is a cool cake nonetheless and all my heartfelt wishes.
  3. Though this certificate seems rather legit, and obviously granted by beings with good intentions, I cannot but wonder at the credibility we should grant a bunch of inebriated frogs.
  4. Since I've received some gloating email from a goat, I'd better make clear that my "I do", in reply to Steve's question (Anyone else want to add their name to the nomination?) was based on the understanding that "their name" referred to "a name they have in mind". Which, in my case was CJ. I personally don't dabble in CHs. I leave this to the master, or, if I may, the One and Only King.
  5. Here is a single from Johan Palm's first album.It's called Teenage Battlefield and it's from his album Antidote. It's a cover of a Swedish band. Johan Palm is a contestant of the 2008 Idol series. He got praise for , first sung by Alice Cooper. Well, Desmond might be a bit biased... Johan looks better when he smiles, by the way.
  6. OK, it's close to bedtime over here, so super big thanks you to all of you. Only 50% of my siblings (I have two sisters) wished me a happy birthday. Well, My friend Nicholas wished me a birthday celebration filled with ancient pleasures such as cake, wine and sodomy. I managed to strike at least one of these (the bakeries were closed and the courgettes/zucchinis ended up in the cooking pot) So this is a very nice thing to see so many people wish me a happy birthday. Even though some did it the weird Canadian way, this feels super great. Tons of hugs to Bob, Sharon, Nephylim, Drew, Jessi, Rush, Benji, Jack and Mark. And of course, thanks to CJ for quadrupling my monthly fee. It'll buy me some (more) nice smelly, sticky green bud to cheer me up and my friends.
  7. I would go with Conner on this one. General Bradson seems the good bet.
  8. I must say I'm totally appalled at the lack of commiseration over The Scar's demise. I mean, this is a common nightmare, and apparently everybody rejoiced over the lengthy description of this actually happening to The Scar. If not for The Scar, where would Instinct be? Would General Bradson have been able to rescue his son? Would Felecia be in a position to take an early retirement if some prickly official doesn't have her in jail for a few consecutive terms?
  9. Darn, I should have gotten an entry before... Now, if I say , some will consider it cheating...
  10. I feel your pain, Conner. I know this is a really bad breach of confidentiality, but here is the quote from a message I exchanged with some being that might, or might not be involved with the writing of the story. This being is prone on having barbecues summoned upon his head. The Rolling Stones made soup out of the head of such creatures, to follow the currently abandoned rock music plot. Oh, by the way, since I'm immunized from marsupial spines.
  11. Definitely The Scar from CJ's serials. He's got great lines and cool antics. He's super devious. And in the second movie, I'd need to go through five hours of makeup daily to make the cute me into the hideous villain, which would give me anecdotes to tell at the Oscar ceremony. Notwithstanding the fact that this supervillain rises from ashes even after being put through the worst possible ordeals ever invented by the caprine species.
  12. This is obviously a spoof.
  13. A Happy Birthday!
  14. Yeah, do recover fast, Steve. BTW, CJames is NOT behind the accident. At the time it happened, he was rewriting a chapter to have an even eviler cliffhanger.
  15. Nice post. Glad you forgot to mention the outrageous fee I charge for my zeta-reading tasks. You even manage to make me come out as some sort of well-minded goody two-shoes... But, well, I know how this goes, you shouldn't give any wrong idea to the other team members... They might ask for more . Yet...
  16. OK, you're right. I over interpreted. Still, I think his initiative was guaranteed to fail. And this is exactly the type of tactics terrorists believe in. Confessing to it is even dumber. or super naive. I had well made a difference between an author and his characters, by the way. CJ is not disfigured, and he never intended to lay his hands on several nuclear bombs.
  17. My feel of the General's mindset is that he's quite similar to tons of fiction military characters. They display the value of the military compared to these of mere civilians. See the "rescue" movies of the 80s (I haven't watched one in years), from Chuck Norris' to Iron Eagle. So a lonely man with a will can change history more than a bunch of corrupt and idle politicians (I sum up a bit.) Whereas the rescue mission of his son could be justified, going off to changing one's nation's international policy by triggering nuclear explosions is clear-cut terrorism. "Oh, I just destroyed the towers so my government and the US' corrupt one would understand what good and morality were..." So, not only I disapprove of his actions, but I find it strategically mega stupid to blow it all off in the press conference without having any insurance on getting the money back or on seeing how the government reacts. If in the epilogue, we learn he'll spend a minimum of 20 years in jail, I wouldn't be surprised. Even if he goes on a super heroic action to defeat the other dimwit The Scar who gets drunk at a time when he should keep his head clear, I don't see how he can get away with his statement.
  18. Well, high time to break the shocking news. CJ actually stands for Cirrus Javeed. (King who lives forever in Persian...) But Christopher James is an apt substitute. Charles would have been improper for a forever-living king.
  19. Heck, yeah, why not antagonizing your readers and having them gulp and feel like crap after reading the chapter? Pitchforks are a bit tame...
  20. There's a singer from New Zealand who had a career in France since the 1960s (he made Leonard Cohen covers in French for instance) who's named like this: Graeme Allwright. So I say, as heard from this example from my fellow native speakers: grem (as in gremlin) If you take into consideration the fact that Australian considerably change the song of diphtongs (I saw a movie in which a guy asked for "some cake" and he was handed a can of Coke...), and that vowels in general are affected most by regional accents, wouldn't it be pronounced as a Brit saying "grime"?
  21. Darn, welcome Jan. I know how tough it is to undergo the Goat's initiation rites, which could not be told here lest it makes tons of readers throw up (the pledge is the least offensive of all of them...), so it means you REALLY wanted to help the Mountain Beast out.
  22. Actually, the matter is that I've read up until chapter 87. So I know the reply to most of your questions. Replying to the poll would be cheating. For any advance info on the chapters to come, the usual crowd knows the ways to transfer money to my Carribean bank account. You won't be disappointed, gals and guys! Let the electronic dollars fill my account. Nassau is a better place with tons of zeroes behind the one on my (very) private account.
