Actually, I hadn't forgotten, but decided that Barrett was star of the show in this chapter. Speaking of the star, Bjorn looked particularly fetching on this video. WOOF! This, by the way @Summerabbacat - is another part of my musical education: never heard this one. Sounds more naughty than what I might have expected from the likes of ABBA 🙂
-
I was curious how you were going to tie the plot to a musical theme, @Summerabbacat, because I was fixated on Barrett's first bj ... I guess you can see where my mind has been lately "blush"
-
This is an awesome (sorry for an overused cliche) piece of art I had never heard before. Once again my musical horizons have been expanded. Thank you @Summerabbacat! As for our story: if Todd comes back in after exiting the restaurant, the lyrics would be all the more appropriate. However, if Todd knuckles under to his father, I'll lose a lot of respect for him. To paraphrase a well-known passage of scripture, we are to grow up and "cleave" to our spouse (isn't the Authorized Version delightfully quaint?) when it comes time to leave the nest. I hope Todd realizes his future lies with Barrett (or the spouse of his choosing), and not with Daddy Dearest.

What surprised me was the fact that Anthony was even there while Barrett and Todd were in the next room going at it. The scene reminded me of when I was deflowered (the condom was an electric shade of yellow LOL). I had happily forgotten all about Anthony. I guess I just don't care for him all that much.

Who said I was thinking? I'm too busy swooning...
-
I don't think ANYONE is near as good as ABBA *swoon*
-
Just as I have a "new" appreciation for Bjorn (I've always loved that name anyways). Feel free, @Summerabbacat, to make your confessions with me anytime LOL. Absolution, anyone? It's good for the soul 🙂
-
Once again, this is a new one for me. Bjorn's lookin' mighty fine, but that bowtie on Benny just blew me away! I have a few bowties in my own collection of neck-wear. Haven't worn any in a long time, but maybe it's time to drag them out into the light of day. Hot!

I grew up in a French dominant household, though I myself am English dominant. My mother was born and grew up in northern France, not too far from Paris, where my relatives live; they are French-only speakers. As a kid I used to feel a bit confused as to what side of the Atlantic I belonged on, but I guess I have finally sorted it out 😉
-
I have yet to "meet" an ABBA song I haven't liked @Summerabbacat ... and this is one of the better ones. One of the things that amazes me is the thoroughly idiomatic command ABBA has of English - and I say that as a bilingual myself.
-
Ohh Emm Eff Gee: a slimmed down Benny! I'm in Lust all over again! Bjorn ain't so bad either! And did you catch the Swedish decor on the guitar @drsawzall? Zounds!
-
It's because I never win trivia contests - and that young Brit really had my juices going. I'm not a hottie or a Catch, so I notice these things LOL
-
@Summerabbacat I'm coming up a cropper, as they say. Normally I'd say my mind was playing tricks on me, but I remember the "incident" as plain as day. Stay tuned?
-
I'm trying desperately to remember LOL. Lemme ferret around...
-
You've expanded my musical horizons! I'd never heard of it before today - Thanks @Summerabbacat
-
Yes, Troublemaker seems to have hit gayauthors popularity big time! Kudos to @Superpride ... and thank you, @Summerabbacat for (inadvertently?) picking one of my favorite ABBA hits - a favorite for an odd reason. During a trivia quiz, I got a prize (consisting of bragging rights, only) of knowing which ABBA song mentions a major city in the UK. It's not the only ABBA trivia question I got right, because I also knew which song featured only Bjorn and Benny on vocals. That caught the eye of a hot young Brit less than half my age who wanted to talk to me, but his BF (who was giving me dagger eyes) wouldn't let him, dragging my Admirer away, off the dance floor - alas! Ah, the memories!
-
This "business" with Dillon I find increasingly disturbing, just like @Cane23 and @Summerabbacat. Troublemakers abound. For what it's worth, "Honey Honey" came out just a couple of years before I moved to the UK, which is where I discovered ABBA (lucky me!) Thanks for the video clip, @Summerabbacat ol' buddy ol' pal.
-
Even before I got to the end of the chapter, I was trying to anticipate what @Summerabbacat was gonna give us in terms of ABBA. To be sure, I almost never take novocaine (one exception - a root canal) ... though if I ever have a vasectomy, I'd probably go for some valium.
-
@Summerabbacat, I guess I wasn't too fussy, being (at heart) something of a slut (my bad!) when it comes to sexy rockers *blush*. Benny of ABBA also had that piano keyboard thing going on: I still fancy myself to be something of a "tourist" around the 88's.
-
Too-shay, as they say in Gay Paree!
-
I was never sure how to pronounce "asshat." Where is the syllabic division? Ass-hat? As-shat? The mind boggles @drsawzall. Where's a linguist when one is needed??
-
The memories! A classmate of mine in grad school was named Agnetha - though objectively speaking the ABBA version is a tad bit prettier. Heck, the ABBA Agnetha is prettier than her erstwhile husband Bjorn was, though Bjorn has aged so well, eh? Back in the day, though, it was Benny who used to set me all aflutter *sigh*
-
I'll take what I can get 😉
-
I'm looking forward to the grope 🙂

Surely being gay involves being on a continuum of some sort. Where one crosses from "gay" to "bi" - or even something/somewhere else - is a matter of perception as much as a question of objective reality. Whether Todd's father can change his son's identification is quite a different matter, however. "Wishing the 'gay' away" smacks of delusion. Todd's father should know better.
