I want Bondwriter to write more upcoming scenes. That last one was terrific! Great chapter, CJ!!! Of course, J/S will find the GPS. Two reasons: CJ will want to make things antsy right there in Australia...I can't wait; Graeme keeps arguing that even if J/S finds the GPS he won't be able to connect it with our guys. Yeah, right! Conner

I just read that Heath's death has been ruled accidental. Conner

That was an incredible chapter, Com! The emotional intensity was just unbelievable. No doubt, there are Dylan's out there, and they act with no accountability whatsoever. This should prove to be a fascinating read. Conner

I'm glad CJ read the chapter so quickly. Crow is best served warm! Kudos, Steve! Your descriptive passages are just superb. I anticipate we'll all see the full range of human emotion in this story...you're so good at that. I want more Damon.....NOW! I'm an innocent, too. Conner

Let me see...water, surfing, beach cookout and banana hammocks. Uhmmmm, sounds like a Pool party!!! w00t! w00t! Conner

I thought gay boys loved to dance! Happy B-Day, Adrian-dude! Don't worry, in my eyes, you're still a pup! Conner

Chapter 20 was something else! Very well done, Jack! Lots of action, really great! Mario was so cool! Have I mentioned I love Mario? I loved his "Marine" line. I also liked Cray's "used dick juice" line. He and Michael are really cute together. Author! Author! Author! Conner

Happy B-day, Rad! Yes, it really is your birthday now. I know you'll have a great year. You'll be asking yourself why you stayed a teenager for so long! Conner

Chapter 14 was superb, Carl! Like Geoff, I'm starting to warm up to the good doctor. I have to keep reminding myself that this story takes place when homosexuality was classified as a mental disorder. It makes me wonder what other disorders may one day be "declassified" and thrown back into the pool of normal human behaviour. Conner

Robbie, no come back??? Happy (belated) B-Day! W00t! W00t! Conner

That was a fun chapter. Turkey on a trunk. Is that along the same lines as Cat on a tin roof?

You didn't have a very happy childhood, did you, Duncan? I'm bleeding here, dude! Is it ever going to stop? Another superb chapter....the depth and intensity of the emotions expressed through your characters are unequaled. Conner

Why does CJ spend so much time developing the plot? :wacko: Without even mentioning the specific ocean there are 4 pools at this resort! Why hasn't there been a pool party! Jerry's The Scar. I had no idea. Congrats to those members of The Herd who nailed that one. No wonder The Scar hasn't gutted Vladimir as yet. If he can deal with Eric, he can deal with anyone. If Eric wants tequila, Eric will get tequila. Great chapter, CJ! Conner

Celine, naturalement! Canadians overdosed on this fine chantreuse years ago. That's why we shipped her to Vegas! In the final analysis, though, she is a very talented singer whose passion shines through in everything she sings. As a hobby, baseball cards or basketball cards? Conner

I don't think I ever had a good handle on David's and Paul's relationship. I would hope they had better days together. It would seem that Zach is going to experience some guilt over David's death. He keenly sensed that David was going to kill himself amd told no one. He should have, I suppose....but, it's not his fault anyway. David's context change toward Zach was a little late in coming.....for Zach, anyway. Zach didn't get the chance to respond or complete with him, you know, some closure for both of them. I found Sally to be a fascinating character. My sense was that she and David did at least get some closure with one another. Zach's deadpan one-liners are just incredible. I hope Jeremy can be there for him. Conner

Fantastic chapter, Jack! The entire Spike and Lou scene was tremendous. Very romantic. Good for Spike for standing up for himself. Cray will be thrilled with the news. Conner

Congrats, Benji! Let me see now, you average 4 posts/day. CJ's average is 8 posts/day. As we all know, CJ's a lurker here at GA. That makes you a half-lurker! Keep on posting, dude! Conner

The only way this chapter could have been better would have been the boys having a pool party at Trevi Fountain. Where's the tequila when you really need it. I want to acknowledge our favourite stud, Eric, for the sacrifice he made in this chapter. This proves he can be dependable. Yes, I'm falling for the straight boy. If Jerry's involved with The Scar's logistics, I think he's being duped. It still makes him a security risk, though. CJ has dropped a bunch of clues again....maybe misdirection....now, if only I could figue them out. :wacko: Great chater, CJ. Conner

Ok, everyone, get your best Queen voice on... We are the champions! We are the Champions....of the world!!

Yes, the world is unfolding as it should. <gloats gloats gloats> Ok, so Canada is going for quadruple gold today. If we win, that will be 4 straight gold medals. When it comes to hockey, we never did learn how to share! 4 in a row...that'll put the zippity back in my doo-dah. Good luck to Team USA against the Russians! Conner

Ranting is a good thing! Conner

Happy B-Day, Krista!! Conner

Some great chuckles in that chapter, Jack. "....that's just part of the package." Loved it. Super chapter, Jack. Conner

That will be the Bronze medal game (Saturday 10am).

Canada and the USA will go head-to-head on Friday in one of the semi-finals of the World Junior Hockey Championship in the Czeck Republic. (2pm ET) w00t! w00t! At the junior level, the Canada-USA rivalry now surpasses that between Canada-Russia. The USA team was undefeated (4-0-0) in the preliminary round and had a by into the semi-final. Canada went 3-1-0, with a loss to Sweden, who also went undefeated. Sweden will play Russia in the other semi-final. I'm hoping for a Canada-Sweden final on Saturday (2pm ET). Beer. I need beer.
