The FRI article is nothing but drivel. They offer no science whatsoever to support their position, just right wing dogma. Basically they're thought terrorists. Conner

Ok, so I nominate Jamie as our resident doubting Thomas. Actually, I'd like to refer to him as our resident party pooper, but I'm trying to be unbiased. He raises a good point, though. I realize that this thread addresses homosexuality in the genes, but, personally, I wouldn't object if someone were to post research from the the dark side....uhmmm....I mean the 'nurture' side, you know, those evil behaviortalists. We should be looking at the counter arguments as well. Anyone? (not me 'cause I'm just an idea guy ) Conner

Happy B-day, Frank! As James said, still a pup.

Yes and no on that. No doubt that he would regret not having valid insurance. Duh! As well, his congregation will want to tar and feather him...if he ever sees the light of day again....which I sincerely hope he doesn't....well, it would be ok in the prison yard. As far as Thaddeus is concerned, the church's assests were his own to do with as he pleased. From a business sense then, it doesn't work. While insurance premiums can be stiff, we're not talking huge quantities of money to be saved compared to the risk involved, unless of course, the money saved is extremely well invested. I suppose, though, that if he were ever to do the arson thing, he'd go get valid coverage. Who would question such a holy man as himself. Conner

That was an excellent article, particularly the uplifting effect it had on me. Once again, it is our youth who will bring about change. Thanks for posting that, Vic. Conner

Nothing ever gets by you, Jack! Conner

I gotcha this time, CJ. hehehe You couldn't have said "rubbed his hand across his balding head" because the work he was doing took place in a clean room. In a clean room environment (intended to minimize or eliminate airborne particulates), personnel are gowned, head to toe, and, of course, wear non-shedding gloves, mask and headcover. hahaha I feel good da da da da da da da Like you know that I would da da da da da da da Furthermore, you have a prologue so that you'll mess up the efiction counting system again. I feel good da da da da da da da Like you know that I would da da da da da da da Conner Edit: Btw, that was my best James Brown impersonation! Not bad, eh!

Sith Lord C James, Darth Honrius! I love it, too. Yes, I can see why Darth Hornius transformed into a goat. He's far less conspicuous now. This certainly explains a lot of the sociopathic goings-on in FTL. It's clear that Darth Hornius didn't get cuddled much in his formative years. So what will Chris and Steve do now? Will they follow the instructions and go alone and unarmed? Will Chris and Steve tell Chad what's going on? Betty has her gun back, courtesy of Dex. We all know what her reaction will be! It also strikes me that the Piedmont sheriff has nothing to lose at this point. He's totally desparate. How will Eric figure into all of this? This was the worst cliffie ever. I was all ready for the pool party, too! Conner

Yes! I understand, LC. Once you've been around a sweaty goat, you just want more! That totally sucks, CJ. Mother Nature can be a real sweetheart sometimes. Glad to hear that your insurance will cover some of it. That's going to be a lot of work. :pickaxe: ugh. I bet you're looking forward to blowing up that meteor sized boulder! Conner

Hmmm....actually....there's some merit in that title. I just can't put my finger on it. Conner

Hang on to your shorts, dudes. The mods will show up in force. There are minors on this site, so no nudity. Conner Edit: et voila!

Yippee!!! Please let it be Philip! *falls to knees, clasps hands, and adopts a most humble begging posture* My suggestion would be "Getting It Right". Conner

This part brought me to tears. I remember watching a movie with Kevin Costner where he and a young lad only had mustard sandwiches to eat. That was a sweet movie. Btw, why do wolves get the credit for swallowing things almost whole??? Goats can do that. "Brandon goated down the bread and mustard..." I like it! Conner

Listen up, goat-face, there better not be any misdirection when it comes to Brandon and Chase getting together. It's a done deal! If it isn't, you'll rip my heart out. I've bonded already. Conner

Ok, let's everyone chant: Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! Dump Lump! I feel so much better now. CJ! I love this story! The music industry is a fantastic setting for a story. How exactly the bombs fit in escapes me as well. I'm totally taken with Brandon. That line was just perfect. I also think Brandon'and Chase are gay. What helped me decide that, though, were the sixteen clues CJ put in the story. Brandon buying a drummer's mag? Brandon having a single poster on his wall of his roach-infested room? Could the poster be from the drummer mag? Nicely done, CJ! So here's what I'm looking forward to in the short and long term: -Brandon's reaction to getting the lead singer's job -Chase telling Lump that he's history. Chase will say, "Hey, Lump, I have some good news and some bad news for ya. The good news is you're going to be able to focus a lot more of your time and attention to your drug and acohol addictions. The bad news is you're going to have to find a new source of income to feed your habit. Your ass is grass, dude! Be careful not to let the door hit you in the ass on your way out!" -Chase and Brandon coming together! -Chase and Brandon meeting Chris and Steve and they start having pool parties! Conner

If anyone is looking for a first celebrity crush, check out the movie, The Covenant. Then check out: Steven Strait,Taylor Kitsch, Toby Hemingway, Chace Crawford and Sebastian Stan. Btw, Taylor Kitsch you may already know fron the tv series Friday Night Lights and...he's Canadian, born and bred right here in Kelowna, British Columbia. Conner

I use something called a land-based telephone for long distance calls. Some of you might not have heard of it. Next year, I'm updating the phone to digital. My right index finger is all worn out.

Now, now, not so quick to say no. It's just that the next time you'll ask a few more questions. How many? How long? Will they be responsible? Will you make sure they're responsible? And, once you're out to your roommates, are they cute? Unfortunately, a straight dude will say, "How the hell should I know?" whether he thinks they're cute or not. So the last question is optional. For me, cute takes care of a lot of sins. Yes, I know that's shallow. What can I say? Seriously though, whenever a man compromises his standards or terms, he gets pissed. He may get angry at the obvious source (the guests) but, in fact, he's mostly angry with himself for not saying or doing anything. Been there, done that. Feels really crappy. Conner

Ritchie, Go get him! So what are you doin? Putting Josh on the lay-away plan for when your butterflies go away??? :wacko: Take your break together, ask him to join you for lunch, go for a coffee or whatever. Talk about whatever interests you...music, films, whatever you do...sounds like he wants to participate. Take my advice, I'm not using it. Good luck! I want details right here, in this blog, next week. :2hands: Conner

That totally sucks. So, you're either Mr. Nice Guy 2007 or a couple of those dudes were cute!!! Fess up? Conner P.S. I take it you've learned your lesson around house guests.

Yeah, I get that way sometimes. Drives me nuts.

Now that his father is in custody, there's little more that Eric can do to rehabilitate him. Maybe now Eric can pay more attention to his own needs. I'm guessing that Eric has left for the mountains of Tibet where he will enter a Buddist temple and become a novice monk. He needs spirituality right now. His ultimate goal is to raise and care for endangered species of goats. God bless him. Conner

Forced to go, eh? I'm not so sure about that, LC. It sounds like a lot of fun to me. Your state must be a super place to go camping. I've read CJ's story, so I know all about it. Interesting tale that you had for us. I certainly agree with the comments you've already received. I think it's great that there are gay camp leaders like yourself, even if you're not out. There are certainly going to be a gay boy or two amongst your 10 to 17 group of participants. Good on ya. Conner

Going to Vegas has never been on my priority list. I'm not a gambler. I love to spend money, hate losing it, though. If I were to go, I would definitely go see Celine, notre belle chanteuse canadienne. Canadian solidarity and all that. Good on ya, Steve, for stepping up to the fully automatic thingy. I bet that's a rush!! I once had the opportunity to fire such a weapon (something called a sten gun - I don't know it's technical name). I had to fire some rounds from the hip. What a laugh that was. The target was 25 yards away. I was shooting up the dirt about 15 yards in front of me. I hope that wasn't endangered dirt. I have a good friend who loves to blast around joke emails. About a year ago, he sent one around that targeted gays. He knows I'm gay. He thought I would get a kick out of it. I gave him a call and simply told him that any one of the men he had sent the joke to may well be trying to deal with a gay son. He thought about that for a moment and said, "Thanks for that." No more gay jokes. I think that's what I would have said to my uncle or whomever...Is that the advice you would give to man you know who has a gay son? It will at the very least give him pause. Btw, Steve, the word is proverbial, not preverbial. That's strike 2. One more strike and we're sending you to the minors. I'm glad Vegas was fun. Conner
