I went throught 20 files from my computer. (Most of them are stories on this site.) All were fiction. 90% of the stories were identified as male. So I guess I'm a guy most of the time. Some of the scores were close for example, 2354 female and 2453 male. That was only a 4% difference. Another close one was 1742 Female and 1419 Male. (19%) Most, however, were quite significant ie a difference of at least 50%. The two stories that came back as female both centered around female characters. Considering some of the feminine words are her, she, and hers that makes some sense. They only count 33 gender biased words, after all. I think the test may tell us more about the characters in the story than the authors. The other thing I noticed is that "said" is a male word. Does that mean that men write more dialogue?

I saw the song as making fun of the way some people take lesbian kisses a little too seriously. Gay kisses are quickly losing their shock value in the entertainmet industry. What was once shoking is now funny and I think the song ilustrates that perfectly. Many people have kissed someone they did not know well or had no business kissing. I see nothing wrong with laughing at it. Besides, I've heard a few men singing that song...so much for the lesbian thing.

I aprove too. Phelps is amazing! My avatar is actualy my real shadow/outline superposed over a photo I found on the internet. No, I wasn't realy struck by lightning...I was born this weird. :wacko:

Great chapter CJ! A motorcycle is pretty tame after the airplain in your last story. I completely missed the reference on the liscence plate. The minute I read the line I thought of a song I used to hear on the radio all the time. "I'm the real shady...the real slim shady..." I see no reason for a goat roast just yet especialy after those vacation photos.

Oh well, I was planning to barbeque this weekend anyway. The only thing is I was thinking more along the lines of chicken. .. I'll save the feathers in case we need them later. I'm assuming we still have tar somewhere here.

No, don't roast the goat (at least not yet.) I'm liking this story. No cliffs, rock stars, strippers what else could we want?

I do like the free credit report comercials. There are some which are funny. That's what keeps me watching even if I don't like many comercials.

Now that I think about it I do know at least one person who is imune to comercials. She just does not hear them. Some times I wish I could do that but I think I keep watching out of morbid curiosity. There are a few comercial ever now and then that make it worth watching I guess. I don't do much chanel surfing when I watch TV but I tend to switch between radio stations. There's also the volume control. Speaking of radio, I'm also very irritated by the morning shows on music stations. Personaly, I think talk shows should be on talk stations.

Have you ever noticed how advertisements sometimes make no sense? I watch TV every day and have noticed that many of the adds seem to defy logic. For example, can anything be new AND improved at the same time? Maybe they meant newly improved. How about the woman who wants to "be the house" where every one hangs out? I did not believe my ears the first time I heared that one. Did she just say she want's to be a house? There's also a comercial that compares the human body to a tree and then explains that a tree gets energy from the sun. So far so good but then they go on to say that the sole purpose of roots is to eliminate toxins. So if a tree craps through its roots I have to wear special pads on my feet at night. What? Then there is the yogurt comercial where a woman refuses to go swimming because she is constipated. How does constipation affect one's ability to swim? I would think diareah would be more of a problem in the pool. :wacko: Am I the only one noticing this?

When I do bother to clean my preferences are: Ajax or Commet for sinks and bathroom counter. Scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner for tub Formula 409 for greasy cloth or surfaces Oxiclean for fruit/plant stains Meat tenderizer for blood stains. Why would I have blood stains? See commets by jamesslavic. (Actualy it has more to do with having lots of pets over the years.) Palmolive dish soap for removing any greasy of food stain Palmolive also makes a great bath soap Hydrogen peroxide for bleaching food stains, can also bleach color from plastics cloth and teeth Horse soap/shampoo for human hair, it seems to work better than regular shampoo. That's about all I can think of for now.

My irrational phobia is a fear of telephones. They are the scariest thing I have to deal with. I don't mind the spiders, snakes, ghosts, heights, etc...but when the phine rings my hands suddenly get clamy. For some reason the old repeated exposure remedie does not work. I could talk on the phone all day and it would still be unpleasant. I even had a job which required me to answer phones but it didn't cure me. I also have a strange though mild varient of clustrophobia. I'm fine in tight spaces unless they are tight spaces full of people.

Happy Birthday, Beast!

Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Have a good one.

I'm sorry. I wish you and your family all the best.

Amazing ending!!! CJ, you are the man! (the goat?) That was awsome. I'm looking forward to your next story.

Happy 4th! I hope you all had a good day. The fireworks are over now where I am. It was a nice peaceful day.

Great chapter CJ! ...but if you are going to write a sequel you can't kill ALL the characters unless of course you plan to make them into zombies for Halloween. Somehow I don't think you would like gay zombies. Would you?

Well, I am speachless! You turn your back for a moment and the goat nearly slauters a family! I'm not too familiar with shotgun models. How many times can you shoot without reloading? I remember that Brandon already took a shot. Does he still have bullets in the gun? I will have to wait and see...or loose patience and mount a pair of horns over my fireplace. Hurry up CJ!

Even if the goat did not have any bad intentions we just gave him plenty of ideas.

I bathe most days. Sometimes I don't do anything sweaty or dusty so I skip a day. I think its important to keep pretty clean but the little kid in me can still apreciate getting muddy in the back yard. I like deoderant but colognes make me sneeze. Its also a little weird when I'm eating a turkey sandwich and smelling flowers,musk, or fruit.

Deoderent is a good thing unless it is one of those strongly scented ones. Some deoderants smell so strongly or baddly that I would almost prefer the sweaty smell.

That was some serious action! I can't wait for more. In terms of how many more must die and who they will be, it depends on two things: 1. The amount of violent conflict 2. The need to keep a realistic ratio of casualties between the two sides. If you let too many of the good guys live it becomes hard to believe. Since this is not one of the rambo movies I think it is safe to bet that someone will die soon. It can not be a major charecter because that would change the dynamics too much. (I was a little surprised that Gunter was killed off.) My guess is that there will probably be a death among the bikers and possibly a major injury to a band member. I would not rule out a band member or Helen being shot in the arm/leg/butt...Then again I usualy don't guess right.

On the topic of perfumes all I can say is less is more. There are many people out there who over do it. Some of these perfumes don't even smell organic. On numerous ocasions I have found myself sitting in a room with people who smelled like chemistry sets. For a person with alergies that is turture. A few months ago I heard something interesting on the news. Aparently there is a link between depresion and the excesive use of perfume. Maybe its mostly unhappy people use all that foul smelling stuff.

Get well soon!
