I'm really surprised at your word choices. When I saw the title I was sure the would be somekind of anatomical term...you know, something like butt.
Moist cake is wonderful. I guesse I haven't looked at enough bakers.
You can't go wrong with sex and violence. I loved this chapter! It was pure Murphey's law (happening to someone else).
Let me get this straight though, Brandon got involved with Eric because of a head injury! Does that work on everyone? I would think a head ache would put a damper on someone's love life.
Shaved pubic hair is great...on someone else.
The idea of puting a sharp object in a hard to reach place just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. However if you manage to acomplish this bit of contortionism without injury I consider you a very talented and good looking person.
Tequilla!! ...and the Scar is back. He's missing some peices. All we need is a few more explosions and he's turn into a cyborg.
As for the cliffhangers, I think we were a little too suportive of our goat.
A little side note: Has anyone seen the Arby's comercial where the guy marries a goat?
I also loved the scene in the store. I think they handeled the clerk well. Doing any more to her would just make Instinct look bad. Besides, what goes around comes around. I'm sure she will get a pair of goat horns up her butt sooner or later.
I'm still reading and enjoying it. I haven't been posting as much because of my work schedule. I work at a school and I am taking a few classes. It's just late by the time I get done reading and I know I'll hate myself the next day if I don't get some sleep.
I noticed that activity on the site goes up and down. This is one of thoese down times. So keep on writing! (or there will be a goat roast!!! )
Your stories are all great. You have nothing to worry about.
Carlshitski!!! There's a name to make fun of. Not that I should talk. I have a pretty long ethnic sounding name but that one's classic. I'm nervous for the general. It looks like he is in over his head.
...Its so nice and peaceful in this forum. No clifhangers. No goat roasting. It feels like the calm before a storm.
You have my sympathy. I had the misfortune of getting gal stones when I was about your age. It took a few doctors and lots of pain to figure it out. I'm glad you are getting better. At least your school is being good about the refunds.
I wanted to be a trash truck driver. Then I had to learn to drive and decided that going to college was not so bad after all. I have since learned to drive pretty well but I now work for the physics department of a college. So I guess I'll be driving a pickup truck instead of a garbage truck. Hey, at least it smells better.
The impression I got was that Eric was greatly affected by the neer miss in the air plane and the battle with the Scar. Seeing Brandon and Chase work as one unit probably got him thinking. In a crisis they had each other and he was facing things by himself. It seems like he never gave any thought to who he was sleeping with and why. I suspect that he will be more concerned with the sort of person he dates than the gender of that person.
I liked this chapter and am looking forward to the next one. The paparazzi thing is a small issue if it is one at all. I like paparazo when you meen only one. It is a little clearer to me but I'm the sort of person who gets anoyed when someone calls radii radiuses.
Its to bad the contact is not the Scar. I was hoping someone would rebuild him as some sort of bionic Darth Vader type. I'm pretty sure CJ has the technical skill by now. After building an atomic bomb, could building a cyborg really be that hard?
Have a great vacation! I hope it's full of good looking billy goats.
Watch out for bears and mosquitos. Yes, there are mosquitos in Alaska. I'm not sure when they come out though.
I saw him dive with out knowing anything about his personal life. All the divers were amazing but Matt did stand out. As the station went to a comercial break my mind drifted and I began to rank the divers by looks. As if that was not bad enough I then began to think of who would make a nice couple. I never thought to look at who they were filming in the stands. I'm sure they showed the proud boyfriend and I missed it!
I think no one takes it to seriously here but you make a good point. There could potentialy be a sort of feed back loop if people try to be either "male" or "female" by some random deffenition. People want to be more like their gender so they act out the steriotype. As a result the steriotype becomes more extreme. Then people try to live up to the new standard.
I agrea with the rest of you that it is just a toy. What I find interesting is the numbers that the creators of the algorythm claim. It is suposed to be 80% acurate. I'm not sure if this refers to the original algorythm or the simplified version that we have been looking at. There is also an issue of what is an acceptible margin of error. By that I mean if the female score is 1207 and the male score is 1210 should that really count as male and if not where should the cut off be? Also why does it work better on works of a particular length? Why should that matter? Did the original 600 writing samples have anything in common? How were they selected? There are plenty of unanswered statistical question here and that is the part that is interesting.
