For a moment I confused the characters of Obi-Wan and Yoda, and I suddenly thought 'naked'? NNnnnoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! :wacko:

a BIG smooooooch to my favourite web designer and very best wishes for a Happy Birthday, Lenny!

It's really amusing when someone totally homophobic sings the praise of a historical figure who was undoubtedly gay, and then screams when someone suggests it openly. It's a bit like Lewis Caroll's 'Alice in Wonderland' being hailed as a literary classic, when the guy was quite oviously bang into cannabis and magic mushrooms. Why can't people just live and let live? Beats me. Ok, there are some obvious practical limits, which involve and prevent others getting hurt as a result, but they that do protest too much - make me wonder sometimes!! :wacko:

and if I hadn't stopped to check, I'd have missed jbf1970 as well So welcome jbf1970, come and join the crowd.

Welcome to GA drewgum and Cookie! Hope you find here all you were hoping for. drewgum, it took me ages to get used to the forums, so you're not alone!!

The reason I refered to 'Love At First Bite' is that I mentioned the Moonlight Sonata in this story. I have had other readers follow up sources of the various music written into this story. (See LAFB under my storysite in 'Hosted Authors' - Crackerwriter) try a bit of LOL

:wacko: A pity you don't live in the UK or you could hire a copy from you local library. Unless of course you have a similar system where you are. (Not reading Love At First Bite by any chance are you? - LOL)

Your early b/day prezzy awaits you in Sunday's email!! No charge, but all full frontal nude piccys are acceptable - did I really say that??

I believe your backspace is broken, but then I'm the one editing right...?

Happy Birthday guys. Have fun! :king:

In that case, you'll be happy to hear that we're going over to 'load balancing' in order to prevent any future crashes. We had a Windows server down for four days because of hard drive failure. Never again!! Correct me if I'm wrong but if GA's host is hosted by us, then that should make the site a damn sight more secure? A donation will be on it's way to you before long. That's a promise, and glad to see the 'Support' banner. I think that's a good idea

Just doing my job guys, just doing my job............. hehehe

Well I'm another author guilty of posting stories chapter by chapter, but hey - I've had lots of feedback from readers in the past which suggests that a lot of them like it that way, as long as the chapters are not TOO far apart. That does tend to put pressure then on the author, to deliver at regular periods. Usually I can do that but seem to have got out of the habit with re-siting my stories here. Having said that, this is the beauty of a site like this. It's easy to spot when an author has put up a new chapter, moreso than on Nifty, and it's easier to ask by posting about news of stories etc. I personally consider that's a big PLUS! Umm, that's about it....now which story was I writing yesterday....um...

Welcome to GA all you guys I missed through my absence; Dolu61, Radames, Ping, Mike Jay223, hns, and Unhappy_angel. Oh and perhaps climber. Wow! loads of new peeps! Welcome all.

May I just say that it's not just Grasshopper that writes good stories on IOMFATS. There are several other terrific stories coming along there. I've read a few myself, and Timmy hosts some good authors. I think Comicality would agree.

A most unfortunate turn of phrase Bill!!

It's been a tight fornight, but I haven't forgotten my promise, and I'll send some as soon as I can. Pity about the Paypal thing, that would have made it so easy. I found out during the week that my "boss" hosts the site that hosts Gayauthors!! So if you need to cut out the middle man........!!! LOL

seems to me that all those people world wide praying for you and your mom may have made a difference Ethan? A big thankyou to all those unknown numbers of people wherever and whoever they are for their help and care.

Good luck Lynne. You deserve better than the luck you've had up to now. It'll be good to see you back after a rest

Thanks Myr - I knew there was something I'd forgotten, and that was to go into Add/Remove programmes and get the hell rid of it!

These were passed to me by Lynne as I was having a bad server day! Just sharing some fun facts - enjoy! FACTS...some are interesting...some will make you smile! If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.) If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!) The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!) A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.) A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour (Don't try this at home, maybe at work) The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to i ts body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!") The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?) The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life ... quality over quantity) Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.) The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm....) Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?) Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (okay, so that would be a good thing) A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?) An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.) Starfish have no brains. (I know some people like that too.) Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig??)

Us blush? Never.........!!

.........and in that case, you are quite correct Myr, they are the best and funniest. Before political correctness, I actually used to laugh. It used not to matter that perhaps it wasn't the right thing to do in real life, because, after all, it WAS only a cartoon after all........ and never to be taken seriously :wacko:

I sincerely hope I'm safe, because I found out today that the guy I "Help" a little with his company, owns the susidiary company which hosts this site!!!!! :wacko:

The politically correct versions of Tom and Jerry killed it off for me. I never found them funny even after that. I remember growing up on the Popeye cartoons - in black and white of course! That was before we had colour in the UK.
