Happy Birthday!

Clumber, this actually comes from a show that's called "Lazy Town". Obviously meant to promote hedonism to the youth. I'm appalled, as you might easily imagine.

How sweet to show your love in such a motherly manner!

To start with, thanks to those who took the time to leave a comment. I agree, L0st Cause, small venues offer great shows. And the singer for French Kiss is a 18/ 20-year old girl, who doesn't look like her Janis Joplin-like voice, just so you know, Carl and Conner. I'd like to use my blog to contribute to a debate that's been going on in many threads, and avoiding to cluster Shadowgod's blog with my rambling. The porn/ erotica/ sex in fiction debate. The biggest thing for me is that whatever reactions fiction/ writing aim to cause in a reader, (having him laugh, think, cry or get sexually aroused) what matters is that it manages to provoke these feelings. A good erotic story, or even a good pornographic one, is before all a good story. There should be an atmosphere, characters, language that's adequate to the situations, etc. Whereas I like erotica, I'm not exactly begging for sex scenes in stories in which there's a plot that's not focused on showing the characters having sex. The thing has also to do with my own weird fantasies. I like bondage. I have an uncanny taste for situations in which characters are bound and gagged. This element is almost as important for me as the gender and looks of the characters. The first erotica I read on the Internet was straight bondage fiction. As in all genres, there are good writers, and poor ones. People who write great stories, with silly situations that work, and some whom you leave after ten lines because you know it's hopeless. Strangely enough, there's very little gay bondage fiction. It's always widely mixed with SM; people, consensually or not, inflicting pain to each other. This is not my thing. I like kidnapping situations that end up well (the person freed and the kidnapper in jail), semi-consensual games between willing players, and tons of other variations on these themes. I know, this is weird. It took a while to accept these fantasies, on top of same-sex attraction, and not to be completely ridden with guilt. Colin quoted Popeye somewhere, saying "I yam what I yam." This is sound thinking. I've been on bondage boards on which people were as eager to find out the "Why?" of their fantasies. As much as quite a few here would like to know they're gay. I've given up on finding out. No fantasy is bad, some fantasies should not be enacted. Other people's fantasies are of two kinds: they make you laugh or they make you puke. Mine would fall in the first category for lots of people, but who cares? Many fantasies question the domination/ submission realm, and I'm rather sure that lots of people I've come across at work who behave like jerks must have unresolved issues with theirs. All the people I've met in real life who take a step in acknowledging these d/s fantasies are well-balanced, honest and kind. So, yes, a good erotic story is one that will let you know you're part of humanity and this part of imagination that makes the brain an erogenous zone is not yours and yours only.

Yes, chapters 4 & 5 were eventful. A beheading is usually definitive, though in the case of Michael Myers... I wonder about what will come up next, besides the romance you're referring to, Ieshwar.

Sometimes it started getting silly as early as on Friday. Of course, once we get to quoting Elton John on goats...

Well, this is obviously an incentive to loot and sail. "Do what you want because a pirate's free." Some secular humanist morals, and little girl pirates who dress in pink. I don't see how evil this pirate is.

*makes mental note: write a letter to the DEA about Adrian*

Graeme won't reply. The "Do you think I care?" was a confession he is part of the GAC (Great Animals Conspiracy). The first clue that you're on the right track is the name of the cat in For the Love. And the fact Eric is a weasel!

Uh, it depends what you mean by fetish. I do have ropes, which are quite fetish to me. And shiny underwear in various fabrics. Leather or rubber paraphernalia are outrageously expensive, and not necessarily my thing. I'd say a well-equipped sports goods store is a sex shop for me. Do you own an overhead video projector?

Yes, I had some last night. Pork. The person below me enjoys celebrating the National Holiday in his/ her country.

Well, well, well... It seems the goats' group is made of urban sophisticated ones, and simple, country ones. I think Ieshwar's theory might have some truth in it too. More has to be found out about the hooved ones. (and the Great Escape of 1970 is the most secret, least documented of all the happenings of Area 51, CJ; nice try in trying to cover it up, but all the truth lovers and conspiracy debunkers will have seen right through your attempt...)

The money I get through the Cayman Islands always comes out quite clean. There's also this nice little bank in Geneva, maybe you know it... Well, we might as well discuss these issues privately (which would avoid us drifting dangerously off-topic)

I'm appalled by Florida not paying their state legislators well enough that they have to resort to prostitution to feed their families. Next thing you know, Jeb Bush will get caught panhandling.

I'm definitely against it, because of many of the reasons Conner exposed above. James, 200% with you about how the West treats China. I'm amazed at how little we're told about the fact this is still a dictatorship. Do they still bill the family of the executed person for the bullet? This always seemed to be the straw that breaks the camel's back in terms of cynicism. It's not the first time the whole "drunk driving" thing is being said on the forum, but though I'm not for leniency, death penalty for a car accident, even with aggravating circumstances? So, if you change your CD, or grab a bottle of water, which are things you do consciously, and kill someone because you lacked the necessary attention, should you be put to death too? (I lost cherished ones in car accidents, and though the other drivers came out negative alcohol-wise, there was some carelessness involved; these people's lives were ruined too, or at least badly damaged.)

Definitely a great chapter for the sweet romance lovers. Grayson and Chad might be happy at last. :blink:Their friend Stacy is a hoot (though she knows why they get up late in the morning, if you see what I mean!) Enjoy, people!

I don't think I ever went to Applebee's. There were non-chain restaurants within walking distance from where I lived. When in the US, I'm all for diners if they do it properly. When I visited at Xmas, I was disappointed with the one next to my relatives'. They had an excellent Mexican restaurant, though.

Nevertheless, the way this was handled is impressive. The mural painting is a great idea, and it rings really true. Actually, all of it rings amazingly true. The writing is superb, as always, but since the content is so emotionally loaded it shines even more than usual. The last line in the hospital from Dan is great. Do I really care that Catherine, Richard or Raul get what they deserve now? Not really. All that matters is that your writing and storytelling skills.

Fifty feet underground, far from the blazing Arizonian sun, The Goat was at work. This was no ordinary Goat. Escaped from Area 51 in October 1970, it had supernatural powers allowing it to mind-control humans. Now hidden in its lair, it planned taking over Earth government by 2,666. So, six hundred and fifty-nine years to go. The first step was to take control of the Internet. Moderator, then administrator, then he'd be emperor of the gay community, and from there, thanks to the infamous Gay Agenda Conspiracy, the door would be opened wide to take the reins of the Earth. "Baaa! Baaa!" The Goat bleated in the microphone. The cleverly designed hi-tech vocal interface it'd developed over two years translated the sounds to "Steve and I landed in Phoenix at three in the afternoon. Once we walked out of the terminal, we couldn't help being surprised by..." (to be continued)

Decrypt this message properly with the key provided to you by CJames News Magazine, and you have major spoilers about CJ's entry. If you have not subscribed yet, you may do so by transferring 1,000$ to my CI account. Exclusive goat erotica, vintage cars and guns. OK, another spoiler:

And unless the commenting writer opens the comment threads, CJames will, since I think Kitty did it earlier on So you have your 22 posts on the 15th. But I notice that once again quantity is being discussed. CJ, Jan offered the alternative to the hooves, with the stick in the mouth. And I was thinking of some hi-tech device, like a vocal interface or a shift stick, but now I start believing in your ability to use your hooves, thanks to your Indian cousins.

Agreed on Conner's first line. Nick is the one for family sagas. And yes, it goes beyond challenges, when someone sees three of his kids die; I won't reread the death of Raymond Jr, that's for sure. I also agree on the fact that Charlie's character, who was really prominent in chapter 1, or at least promising, got out of the picture completely; so the author got dragged into the story and Raymond and his family's troubled life and this affair just was important as a family secret. My guess is that it could have been any other unpleasant secret, an affair with a woman, or even something else, and it would have led to a similar outcome. One formal remark: the background color is too dark for my reading comfort. You could almost have white letters on such a dark background. And it's not the same font size in all chapters. Joe! A job for you!

Took the train today. Way more adventures in a train than in a car. Fun ones, Imean.

Bringing this back up, especially since the anthology is soon going to wash down all those threads (we'll bring them back up, not to worry) Now is the time to start reading this finely crafted story. The latest installment is still as mind-blowing as the rest, so enjoy. This writer's sensitivity is very, very high, and his take on interpersonal relationships is original, clever, and subtle.

And don't worry, a male properly staked has a very high sexiness factor increase in the eyes of a ple... pli... commoner like me. (And yes Vic, your little piece is lovely and explains a lots on Domaholism, which still frightens me a bit...)
