I think that was a good way to put it...yanking Gathan back into line. Lark's never been a relationship guy. Why would a new identity or plastic surgery change that?
-
Lark wasn't really trying to seduce Will, he was just flirting with him. If you think about it, it probably made them both feel pretty attractive. I think JJ is just bitchy. I'm hoping he grows out of it before the bus runs over him. :-)
-
You got the chapter just the way I was hoping people would get it. I thought that the way JP handled Gathan was spot on. Stef would have let him off too easy.
-
Thanks for the five stars. I need that to make up for the people who try and trash the ratings. Probably the admins. :-)
-
Oh for Christ's sake. Will watched the guy jack off. Big deal. "Scott" is being playful, and flirtatious, but he didn't touch Will, and it's unlikely that he would. Maybe he has a bit of an exhibitionist streak, or maybe he was channeling himself when he was that young, and decided to give Will a thrill. I think that's pretty innocuous.

August 11, 2000 Las Vegas, NV Gathan “That was the best time,” Kristin said as we drove out of Vegas. “I will never forget that as long as I live. That flight over the Grand Canyon was unbelievable.” I’d spent a shitload of money, way too much money, so much money that I probably wouldn’t have much for school next year, but hearing her say that made it all worthwhile. I had all of the receipts stuffed in my backpack; I figured when Darius took his turn driving, I’d total the

Alright, are there any other former or present Californians out there that think these east coast boys are being big pussies? I mean, it was a 5.9 earthquake. It shakes for a bit, some stuff cracks, and it's over.

Caroline is astute enough that she's probably already watching out for her sister-in-law.

I appreciate your points Jeremy, but this was still pretty funny.

How can u attract a straight guy and make him fall for you?
Mark Arbour replied to a topic in The Lounge
Here's what I don't get. Ask a gay guy why he's gay and not straight, and he'll probably get pissed off. He'll probably tell you that he didn't necessarily want to be gay, that's just the way he is, the way he's wired. Cool. Got that. So how come when a guy is straight, gay guys think that's negotiable?- 106 replies

It was everywhere in 1985. So much that I still have a hard time listening to it. -
No updates from London yet. News simply didn't travel that fast. The exchange of prisoners didn't happen at sea. From what I gather, they deposited their prisoners in Spain, and the Spanish delivered the Brits to Gibraltar. After that, there was a somewhat famous (from Thomas Hardy's standpoint) chase, but nothing of real consequence happened. At least not in the real, historical version.
-
I think of all the stupid-ass managers out there who don't get that, and could be so much more successful if they did.
-
"Being lulled into a false sense of security by the usual business of naval life..." only to have it f**ked up by politics. If I were Granger, that would frustrate the hell out of me, but from what I read, those two were linked for Royal Navy officers in the 17-1800s

The NCAA has very high standards; they just don't enforce them. I agree with Matt. There's no way they'll drum Miami out. Instead, they'll fine them and penalize them. I'm watching to see if they nail them harder than USC.
-
Couple of thoughts: 1. You're right. If another officer who was senior to Granger was retrieved, he could feasibly give Granger different orders. It would be up to Granger to decide whether to obey them or not. Not following the orders of his superior officer would be dangerous, so Granger would have to have a damn good reason not to do it. 2. No marines were ordered off of Elba, or landed from Belvidera. The issue was that the army occupies Elba, and the General is refusing to evacuate the soldiers. It's possible that Belvidera's marines could be sent ashore, but it's pretty unlikely given the mission (evacuation) and the fact that General DeBurgh is being a total ass.

I think that Ramsey wouldn't worry about having someone going through his letters. As the Captain's clerk, he would be pretty immune from such treatment. Someone must have suspected something.
-
The Google of the 18th century. LMAO. He is the equivalent of the modern day water cooler gossip.
-
Well, Granger definitely does need to get laid.
-
Keeping enemies close has never been something Granger is good at. He tends to bond with his officers and crew pretty well (sometimes too well), and I think having a detractor around would seriously destroy that team atmosphere he tries to build.
-
Now that is evil.
-
Glad you liked it. Preston's story rings hollow with me too, although that is how history records it.
-
Aww. Thanks. I'll try to get Granger off in the next chapter or two.
-
I'm glad you liked the chapter. The way a parley would work is that Granger will return Don Jacobo to Spain, along with his officers, with their pledge of honor that they won't fight until they're properly exchanged, after which point they'll be free to go at the Brits again. In this case, the exchange will be for Granger's officers and men.
