.........Haha! When I worked on the blueprints for the construction of the Stratosphere, the casino gave a bunch of us these cardboard pop-outs of the finished project. I guess no one really noticed it before. I popped it out like your supposed to, and placed it on the top shelf of my cubical, but on the back side of this, for all to see, in plain white, it looked like an arm raised fist giving everyone the finger. I got a lot of laughs for that, till one stupidvisor decided it was inappropriate. I played dumb and made him explain, while my co-workers laughed their ass's off. So I turned it around, nothing he could do then!!

......... I agree, that is one poor brain washed sap! I hope we don't read about him later on as a victim to a suicide!

..... Most of my stuff is from the 1990 Basketball NCCA champions the Rebel basketball team!! :2thumbs:

................ I think Scott's anger and hurt got the best of him, thinking he has closure, when all he did was open up the wounds deeper. Although Rune caused him pain, what Scott did was plainly mean. I think he will really realize that, hopefully soon too, because I think he just pushed Rune over the edge. Nice chapter!

...................Wow what a chapter, a lot of phone calls! Can Gonzales really charge Trevor for interfering? I suppose Trevor can always say Jim is his lawyer, you know that lawyer client thing! So, I can expect a lot more phone calls in the next chapter, Hmmm what was the important team meeting Joel called for? Then Joel calling Gonzales giving him the good news that Trevor has left the area. Gonzales calling Coco Beach to find out what the hell happened, will he wonder how George found out that Dirk and Jim were tipped off to the arrests prior to the wire tap info being known? George's 2nd mistake will bring him into full focus of Gonzalez's investigation now that Jim and Dirk are on vacation. Will Benji sue Jim for stealing his LV brochures? Wait a minute...How did the goat know about my the memorabilia collection?? (checks webcam) It is nice to know that Jim has a solution to everything... Pizza!! How did Bridget overhear Lisa and Joel's conversation? I guess she had to be at the guesthouse waiting for Joel to finish practice Unknowingly, George is Jim & Dirks G-dsend letting them escape unnoticed, won't be long til they enter Jim's place and see the Las Vegas Brochures. Jim is really good at misdirection and dodging, but I think he will contact Gonzales at some point. Great chapter CJ!! I can see Bridget and George toasting their champagne glass's to each other now, will Gonzales?

............Well mostly that is because it is hard to see a goat bluff, after all they deny ever being around cliffs! But an 11 year old drinking Singapore slings (must be at least 4 shots in that one, and sunrises?) You must of been one hell on a hellish goat! I never got seasick myself and went through a few rough seas, the worst being a sudden storm at sea on a fishing trawler outside San Diego, and then again on the USS Constellation running through a typhoon at sea. I laughed my ass off at the senior staff that got sick in what I considered small lifts and turns in that storm that got deathly ill, from it. one staff Sargent couldn't eat for a week. Although I would often offer to get him food!

...............Great chapter, sure cleared up a few things But then added more, who is Libby? Looks like it is Rune's turn to run after Scott now. Looking forward to more!

..................Well, 2 confrontations nice and short, Teresa? If she didn't get it by now, that was a goodbye! And for Rune that was a rude hello! The very question Scott was asking, 'why did Rune lie?' Bigger mystery how did invisible boy score an apartment? Great chapter! Looking forward to more!

...............Great chapter, I have agree with Andy that Dane's father is not going to let this go. Why do I get the feeling that Charlie is more then just a health care provider? Maybe a martial arts expert too. Mr. Echels is aware that Dane's father is a violent man, speaking of which? Where is the police investigation going?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAYA!!!!!!! ..................Hope you have a good one!~

<br /><br /><br /> They simply don't identify with the freaky image of GLBT people that the media and people acting silly at Pride parades disseminate. The reality is that gay people look a lot more ordinary than a freak show. ......... I have to agree with you James, some people exhibit themselves as extremists, well that works on both sides of the fence doesn't it? As you're of my distaste of these individuals exploits may seem, it is neither my or your choice to really condemn. To do so would further discrimination in a world of people seeking out their rights. I don't like what I'm seeing as flagrant extremism, but I understand the prognosticates view here. It would seem to hinder the acceptance of gays by the flaming actions, fueling the bias and enraging the gays on the stereotypical perceived on themselves. So yeah, many people see this crap and think this is what gay people are all about, making us look freakish and this is our problem. I have no answer to this, I think they actually hurt our cause.

Happy Birthday, Pavel! ............Have a good one!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! CHASE

............You wrote a story called 'He got to Me'? Was that in this decade? Ahhhh, the dentists drilling is a long process!

........... I think Gonzales will initiate an interview first with Dirk and Jim, and will gain some insight that they are not guilty. maybe Jim will say that they can offer proof that Dirk did not murder his wife, but not until after December? (November?) Claiming the 5th on that, Gonzales may be persuaded by that enough, to push his investigation on Bridget and realize George is mixed up in it. There I think he will ask the FBI's assistance after knowing George is the leak, and not trusting the department anymore. It would indeed be funny, but I cannot see Jim acquiring an RV for a camping trip and escaping the watchful eye at this time. But then again when you start to involve multiple agencies, screw-ups happen! Sanchez or his people will be to late to finish the job on Trevor, since he will have left, but they could follow him and maybe catch up. Next couple of chapters are going to be great!!

.........Yep, would be hard to be workable too! Take the echidna too spiny to be a errrr a bottom hmm, unless? A frog? Well there is that ribbet, ribbet! And I believe he is other wise water tight, but you never know about the cliff dwelling species? Then speaking of the goat, looks like he could go both ways, but is more interested in cliffs! :lmao:

...........Well now, seems I had it wrong, it was George that slipped up and not Bridget. Mentioning that Bridget told Gonzales personally about the departments leak was something Gonzales never revealed, yet George just came out with it. I see Gonzales continuing his surveillance of Bridget's home, and not be surprised when he spot's George walking up to her place with champagne. Trevor is wrestling with his emotions over the implication that his father could have murdered him, but he is rightfully taking the Egypt angle as a danger zone for him. Nah, he is not going to hang around, and will set sail after one more call to Joel & Lisa then he will be noncommunicable until he hit's Australia. That may shut down the governments case for awhile against Dirk and Jim until they can get a hold of Trevor. Great chapter CJ!

........Nope the father of the letter was talking about his LESBIAN daughter.

.....Yeah, I kinda of mentioned Rachel finding the secret stash about 6-8 chapters ago, being the reason she staged the accident of the Aires with Dirks knowledge of the contents of the stash. Remember Arnold died first, there must have been enough evidence in that compartment for Rachel to fear for her life and that of her family. But why she didn't just come clean to authorities in Australia while being supposed dead is a mystery to me, Bridget could have been locked up years ago without giving away the tipster here! Australia is the key here, it holds all the answers!

.......'cough' new idea???? 'cough'

........Hehe! Maybe I could not see these two guys were in a gay relationship at all. They were not even living in the same town, as for calling the cops! Nope call an ambulance, let the chips fly when they do with the cops. Although the story stands alone as short story, it was left with a cliffhanger that begs for a finish.

...........Great story! Why isn't the prologue listed with the chapters? What power does Mark have, better yet what's wrong with him medically? I like your characters and where this story seems to be leading. Look forward to more!!

..................Which part?? I'm sure the grandparents are going to be accepting, Mom may not accept, but crap she needs to hold her society head up! As far as Jordan, how many students are going to stand with him?

.............. Hmmm, first half analysis? Jason decides to come out of his closet in full disguise, ever so mindful of family name. Meets Peter and continues the charade, every so the circumstances he get presented with on that fateful night winds up outing him to an ex-friend, and a few others. Of course the downfall of the action was far from over, escalating from the girl that didn't have a chance to the mother that didn't have a clue. Burned bridges can be rebuilt, and the fallout still remained. Jason's last act in the first portion of the story was to settle his sexuality with the coach and team, and see where he stood. That accomplished, I can see a part two evolving from this story. Haha!

............ No that he is back, will Rune make it right, or will he make Scott chase after him? 4 years is a long time and they are both shocked at seeing each other. Why did Rune come back? Hell of a mystery! Great chapter!
