Tiger

Wow! Clifton has been truly humbled, and he prefers being part of the crew rather than a midshipman. I'd say that Granger's work is done. If ever he does decide to be a midshipman again, he will still be very popular with the crew, and that's a very good thing. In other news, Granger is now on a dangerous mission within days of meeting with Captain Nelson. He knows that failure is not an option. I'm really looking forward to the next chapter to see how he fairs against the Frog.

I think this thread is mostly about beef liver and onions, which is a common food in the US for those with the stomach for it.

That's such a shame. Twins should be required by law to get it on, especially identicals. I know I'd do my identical twin. It'd be like the coolest form a masturbation ever. I'm totally teasing. That's a very personal thing. I couldn't resist joking though.

Well, I'm sure we all have our favorites. Some on my list are definitely gay. Others are not so much. The Color Purple- This is definitely my all-time favorite. It is based upon a book by Alice Walker. This was the first movie for Oprah Winfrey and the first major role for Whoopi Goldberg, and it's an amazing story. If anyone hasn't seen it, they should. It's an amazing film. The Wizard of Oz- Okay, I know it's so gay, but I love the music, the cheesiness, and all. It was a great film. Again, this one is actually based on a book. Gone With the Wind- This movie came out the very same year as The Wizard of Oz, 1939. They remain two of the most beloved for most, and definitely for me. The Sound of Music- What's not to love about this movie? Julie Andrews is simply amazing. The music is wonderful, and the plot is just as good! McClintock!- This is my favorite John Wayne movie, and I think everyone should have one of his movies as one of their favorites, but that's just me. Oh, and the movie also features another favorite leading lady, Maureen O'Hara. Another notable movie in which they are both cast members is The Quiet Man, which is also a great movie.

Oh talk about a slam! You have a pretty good point though. I think the rationing would have totally sucked, but it was necessary. I think eating horse meat would have been one of the worst parts of the whole deal though. It does not strike me as something that would be tasty.

That would be wrong. Mark would never do that. We already know they both die. It's sad, but those were hard times. I just got to thinking about my grandfather. He and grandma were married in 1940. They actually tried to draft him, but he had a heart murmur, which meant that he was not eligible. It makes you stop and think. Had he went to war, I might not be here today. My eldest uncle would have been the only one born for sure. The eldest of my aunts would definitely not have been born. It's a sobering thought. So many families around the world were torn apart by that war. It really makes me sad to think about it.

No, it's not Jason. Jason reconciled with Stef and JP. In If It Fits the three of them f**ked. Jason would have no reason to go against them now. For years, I think he felt guilty about what he did. Jason has a dark side, but he is cool with Stef and JP again. But what if it's someone we don't know. What if it's somehow a twist that it's a relative of Niel?

Ricky, my guess is that Clifton's father sent him into the navy to straighten him up. That was not at all unusual. I don't think Nelson would intervene in the situation, because he would be the one to catch hell from Sir John if Clifton didn't change his ways. Also, you'd have to assume that Nelson was going to HMS, Belvidera when Granger was the one leaving his own ship. Thus, he might not even see Clifton at all. I have serious doubts that even Clifton's family will object to him having much better manners when he returns to London. I could be wrong though.

Chapter 20 was interesting. Is it just my imagination or does it seem that Granger loves Freddie even more than he did John Travers and Calvert? It seems that way to me. The little green monster, from what I remember, had only come out where Travers was concerned even though he seems to be denying it now. Clinton really does seem to be a nasty, arrogant little bugger. It's good to see his lowered rank has brought some much needed humility. I look forward to seeing him develop further.

Happy birthday, Sky.

That's true. CAP may be like a soap opera, but resurrections don't happen. That, to me, is a cheating storyline anyway. It's just about as bad as Rapid Aging Syndrome. But that's how the actual soaps are. Anyway, I am sooooooooooo ready for another chapter of either of the current stories.

"Father, I called a man a son-of-a-bitch yesterday." "Why did you call him a son-of-a-bitch??" the priest asked. "Because, father, he touched me on my arm without permission" "Do you mean like this??" He touches her arm. "Yes father." "That's no reason for calling him a son-of-a-bitch." "But father he also touched my breasts." "You mean like this??" He touches her breasts. "Yes father." "That's no reason to call him a son-of-a-bitch." "But father, he took off my clothes." "Like this??" He takes off her clothes. "Yes father." "That's no reason to call him a son-of-a-bitch." "But father he then put his you-know-what in my you-know-where." "Like this??" He put his you-know-what in her you-know-where. "Yes father," she says sometime later, after catching her breath. "But that's no reason to call him a son-of-a-bitch." "But father, he has AIDS." "THAT SON-OF-A-BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!" *** As the alter boy is leaving to go home, the priest says, "See you later alligator!" The alter boy replies, "In a while pedophile!" *** Whats the difference between acne and a Catholic Priest? Acne will usually not come on a kid's face until around 13 or 14 years of age. *** This pedophile priest doesn't get caught for 50 years, finally he dies and goes to heaven before st. peter who has the book of life in front of him and says to the priest , " What the heck are you doing here? You should be in hell! You molested little boys for 50 years and never got punished for it". The priest replies, "I'm here to see Sweet Baby Jesus". *** A priest is walking down the street one day when he notices a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street. However, the boy is very small and the doorbell is too high for him to reach. After watching the boys efforts for some time, the priest moves closer to the boys position. He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little fellow and, placing his hand kindly on the child's shoulder leans over and gives the door bell a sold ring. Crouching down to the child's level, the priest smiles benevolently and asks, "And now what, my little man?" To which the boy replies, "Now we run!" *** A boy finished cutting the lawn of a priest... The grass was very thick and long, and it took the boy about 4 hours to cut. He approached the Father for payment and the priest paid him $1.00. The boy said "Thank you, virgin Father!" The priest replied, "What did you say?" The boy repeated, "Thank you, virgin Father!" The priest asked him, "Do you know what that means?" The boy replied, "Yes... tight ass!"

He is able to sing I Will Always Love You in the same octave as Whitney, and he sounds pretty damn good.

Welcome to GA! I'm glad you're enjoying the stories here.

Well, that would mean making him evil! Yay! Corrupt them all. Hoskins, just be you. That may not seem like much, but it's simple and to the point.

More activity is a double-edged sword. The Soapbox is a place where you're more likely to get negged. I seem to ping pong around in the twenties. I guess a tiger can't be loved by all.

No, what would happen would be much worse than that. Most, or all, of humanity would die. If it happened suddenly, or even over a few years, an ocean would form that would swallow up Europe, Asia, and North America. Latitudes toward the equator would become unlivable, because there would be little oxygen. A new continent would form between North America and Asia. Day and night would start out lasting several days and once the planet stopped completely spinning, a day would be a year. Much of the remaining land areas would become dry as air currents (wind) would become nonexistent. It's not a good scenario at all.

There's this show on National Geographic called Aftermath. They've had one called Population Zero and one about oil all drying up. Now there's one about the rotation of the planet stopping called When the Earth stops spinning. This one seems the saddest of all.

I happen to feel a certain level of freedom in writing fantasy. My current story is a sci-fi/fantasy series about magic. It's fun, because I've given the characters a magical system that includes "gifts" as well as three different types of spells. Plus, there is advanced technology that involves magic, which makes it that much better. I have to be careful though. I have to keep notes about certain things to keep it all straight. The rules one creates create some limits, but I figure that you can give yourself plenty of room.

My favorite British ginger is 21. Happy birthday, Martin.

I have read the entire series, but it has been quite a while. I have to write things down to remember things about my own stories. Keeping track of everyone else's is quite difficult, especially the small details.

I am more into what's going on in the 1940's part of the chapter. Poor Steven. In his heart of hearts, he doesn't want to go to war. I think in the 1960's a lot of the ones who felt that way were just a lot more outspoken while it was unthinkable to share such sentiments in the 1940's. So much can change in a generation. It makes me sad, because we know that Steven and Aaron both die, possibly together. My guess is that the end of his journal will be finished by Tonto, and she'll fill in the gaps.

You've been gone for a while, but I hope you come back soon. Happy birthday, Ash.

I'm sure they can find a rubber room and a straight jacket for him.

I only drink tequila in frozen margaritas. I think I'd react too much to drinking it straight. Therefore, I abstain from drinking straight tequila. Okay, I am so itching for a new chapter...
