Happy Birthday, Graeme! Congrats to my favourite Down-Under authour! 44 Only entering his prime!

Listen up, dudes and dudettes! Ecoutez! (for the French speaking contingent). CJ doesn't do cliffhangers! He's even said so himself! I know for sure that CJ never says anything tongue-in-cheek. I see the ending of this chapter for what it really is...a moment in time before the next pool party! Great job, CJ!

This wasn't my idea of a great camping trip. But there was no gay-boi shishkebab either. If Eric were really a bad person, he would have orgaized a tour of the bake-out site for all his porn site members. You know, so they could get autographs and stuff from their favourite porn stars. I know I would have signed up! It's hard not to admire a good business sense. Another point in Eric's favour is that he was going to dispose of the bodies in the mineshaft. I believe that this would have been the environmentally correct thing to do! Good on ya, Eric! Great job, CJ! Conner

Happy Birthday, Kurt!! Yes, I can just feel you catching up to me. :wacko: Have a great one, dude! Conner

I'm so totally with you on that count, EMoe! Just when the chapter was heating up nicely, CJ had to go throw in that other unimportant stuff like intrigue and mystery, betrayal and the likely death of our heros. Non-stop sex scenes would have worked much better. All we have to look forward to now is a gay cook-out. Conner

Hmmmm... Let's chat with shared hosted author Razor! Say when, Razor??? I'll be there. Razor has a new story on his site called Ana. 3 chapters are up. The subject deals with anorexia in male youth. Reader response to the story has been very positive, particularly from young people. Conner

First celebrity crush was the young man (I don't remember his name) who played Toby Tyler in the Disney production of Toby Tyler. A close second was a young Kurt Russell in the television series Wagon Train.

So this was something important you had to say??? :wacko:

I will not run and hide....my hide. :2hands: Neither will CJ....remember the red eyes! I will play my magic flute...make that lute...and charm any hunters over the cliffs. :pickaxe: You know, the Pied Piper thing. Besides, CJ needs to finish the story first. Wait a minute....that just leaves me.

I just caught up with the story and 2 weeks of posts. We're talking feature length film here. That's a great ending, Grame! The ending I would suggest is a pool party...make that a naked pool party! Eric is a minor and should be accorded greater compassion and understanding. Hate the game; not the player. He's been raised in a capitalistic system and is entitled to make some mistakes. I mean, everyone knows sex sells! He should be assigned to a group home specializing in working with young enterpreneurs who have gone slightly astray. :wacko: The next time I use a bookstore in the US, I'll be looking under the counter for a Chinese version of the AK 47. I'll pay cash and leave a large tip. "armed queers" I liked that! Seeing that I'm one of those goats that shouldn't be allowed to own a computer, Dex's language is complicated enough as it is. He's cool, though. I like his character. I'll bet the red-haired dude and his associates, who made their entrance in the closing lines of that last chapter, are only there to invite Chris and Steve (or maybe Chase and Shawn) to a pool party. Conner P.S. There'll be no more talk of roasting goat flesh in this thread. I happen to know a moderator who'll be happy to enforce this requirement. Anyone looking for a 3-day vacation from GA?

I'm with you on this, EMoe. The only thing, in my mind, that would have been more plausible would be "older" dudes hitting on Steve and Chris. Frankly, I'm glad CJ didn't take us there. I'm also with CJ regarding Eric. He's being needlessly maligned by many of the readers. It's just business, guys!

Happy B-Day, Camy!!

The romantic in me is driving me crazy, so I have to post this. Yes, the story is full of adventure (and misadventure), drama, mystery and intrigue. For me, though, this story is totally about the relationship between Chris and Steve. No, it's not just the sex; although, I may have given that impression in one of my posts. They're so in love. They have each other's back, each would give his life for the other. They're playful and fun loving. They're honest with one another. I would also throw in total trust and loyalty. Thanks, CJ. Ok, when's the next pool party?

Ok. I'm going to give myself 5, no make that 10, feather lashes for being such a smart ass!

Yes, hot and steamy! That's the way I like it. Extremely well done, CJ! The foreplay was ever so erotic. Personnally, I don't do foreplay anymore. At my age, I need eightplay. Ok, all you beta, zeta, alpha, omega readers - How did Steve get his shorts back on so Chris could dump the ice bucket in them??? Conner

Congratulations, CJ! You realize, of course, that this award pales in comparison to the Goat Good Seal of Approval! :wacko: Fire and Ice Great name for the next chapter. Ok, let me see, fire and ice would make steam and, as everyone knows or should know, steam is steamy. Ergo, the next chapter will be hot and steamy! Yeah, another pool party with Steve and Chris!

Happy B-Day, Dan! Nothing encourages better health than friends and fun. Conner

Jack, you authors have such a way with metaphors! Conner

Happy B-Day, Jack! You're still a pup. I imagine Ste. Catherine street will never be the same after tonight. Conner

Bravo, Red A! My avatar is Mr. Tumnus from the Walt Disney flic The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Mr. Tumnus is a faun (from Roman mythology - half-man, half-goat). He's well hooved, I tell you. I'm a huge C.S. Lewis fan. James McAvoy, a Scotish actor, played Mr. Tumnus. James also played Leto Artreides II in the movie Children of Dune. What a hottie, I tell you. No, he doesn't look so hot as Mr. Tumnus, but check out the Dune flic. Conner ...now back to your regularly schedulled programming. Thanks, CJ!

Yes, yes, Steve, it appears you do. Before you spill the beans, though, what's the connection between my avatar and the movie "Children of Dune"? Oh right! This is CJ's thread. Hmmmm....my thoughts on Eric coming out...well, his explanation is believeable to a certain extent. The blackmail is a stretch if he's being honest, though. At this point, I don't believe him. If Eric didn't hide the data stick, then it was certainly made to look like he did - which would mean it's a set-up of some kind. But for what purpose? Who did bury it there? :wacko: I know! Let's have another pool party! Conner

P.P.S. Uh oh, this is post 666

Yeah, carburetors! They're cool. That's the thingy that the gas goes through so that the engine only gets the good carbs, right? :wacko: Nice chapter, goat-buddy! I am really enjoying watching Chris come into his own. With Chris feeling like he's part of the family, there'll be no stopping him now. I'm usually quite weary when someone trys to "fix" someone else, it often doesn't work out well. You've got me very confused around around Eric. Yes, I know you planned it that way, too! I'm referring to all those comments you've been making in this thread about why is everyone picking on Eric. Now Eric has this sob story going on. It must be one of those techniques you learnrd in author school. Nasty, I tell you. Conner P.S Doesn't anybody recognize my avatar? Do you want clues?
