Happy B-day, Umbathri!! Conner

I'm quite envious. Conner

What happened to Chase on the rock climb? He was climbing with Steve and Steve reached the top. Somehow I managed to miss that. Conner

That is an excellent strategy. While, for some, it may seem like sneeking in the back door, the battle in these 4 or 5 states is won. A civil union by any other name would still be a marriage. Conner

Great read, CJ. The Jake character was excellent. Conner

Funny story, Nick. I think it's time Taylor started making applications as village idiot. He should get several offers. Btw, Nick, you don't need permission to chill. Hoping you have a kick-ass 2008! Conner

Whatever happened to tic-tac-toe!

The chapter's opening descriptive paragraphs were absolutely superb, Duncan! It strikes me that Luc is far more complicated than Josh. According to Robert, his family accepts his sexuality. It appears that Luc can't accept himself. That's so very sad. The ending scene was a very good hook for the coming chapter. So when will you post it? Conner

If you could give me the name of the wire service on this sheep story, I would appreciate it. Frankly, if there isn't a body, this whole story takes a big dive. Conner

Yes, that was a beautiful read! With a really superb ending, Lugh! I thought it was touching that Chester's great-grandfather passed on once he had passed on the "trust". I definitely would have read those letters! Conner

I have no difficulty saying that I consistently prefer happy endings. Getting to that happy ending has to be realistic. I've noticed more stories offering a mixed ending of late. Or the story starts with a trajedy. Conner

I haven't voted and don't intend to. This whole thing is just too upsetting. What I can't get past is that the story came from a wire service. Wire services make their money when a city newspaper (or anyone in the media for that matter) picks up the story and prints it or broadcasts it. That tends to make them very cautious in getting a story right the first time. The only way around that would be if the local authorities misidentified the body and passed on the incorrect information to a journalist. There is going to be a body one way or another. Conner

Ok, so Zach didn't get the licking I thought he was going to get. MPD is a fascinating disorder. Not for the person who has it, though. I wonder who else is in there. "............and may you have a wonderfully bigoted life." You gotta love that line. I'm incredibly curious about what effect Jeremy's re-entry into the story will have! I feel a threesome coming on. Great chapter. Conner

Fascinating read, Carl! I enjoyed it very much. You are most certainly from the "dark" side. I'm not complaining. It's a place I like to visit every now and then. Conner

There was a thread in the lounge not long ago called "Go Elf Yourself". People who love to hate Will Ferrel will particularly enjoy this game. Check it out. Subject: Don't Hit Santa - Snowball fight - Great fun! Turn up the volume - DON'T hit Santa - or he will swear at you. Move mouse onto the people who are not Santa and click. (I only waited for Will to pop up ) http://www.elfmovie.com/swf/snowball_fight/index.html

I've already had my Christmas goose, thank you very much! This thread is really going to gross out the teens here at GA. Conner (who's a little past 50)

Ok, so if CJ wants to live...intact, that is, he's going to have to pull a rabbit out of his sunglasses. For CJ's sake, I hope he's been taking magic lessons. :2hands: I'm convinced that CJ would not kill off one of the 3 brothers. It doesn't matter which one, he'll be on a skewer regardless. It would also seem that the death of one of the guys would result in a cancellation of the tour. That would mess up the two storylines from merging in Australia. So I'm going to meander around what facts/clues we might have. Generally, the wire services are quite reliable...like AP (associated press). They don't like to be wrong, especially in reporting a death. It also makes sense that if Barbra was monitoring/searching wire services, it would be the more legitimate and reliable ones. Neither Barbra nor Helen make any adverse comment on the source of the fatality story...again, this points to a reliable wire service. Then again, the story contains the victim's name....now this is unusual unless the next-of-kin have been contacted. There doesn't seem to have been enough time for that. Helen certainly wasn't contacted. This also raises the issue of why didn't one of the guys call Helen....at least before the story hit the wire services. Yes, Helen's phone was off (another curiosity given the note left by Jon saying they were going rock climbing), but it strikes me that the guys would have contacted the hotel management and gotten a message to her to call back. So this also points to the story being incorrect. What exactly did Eric figure out anyway? This is what he said to Wilde,

Happy B-Day, Jack! Conner

There's evil...then, there's evil. Any of Steve's crimes pale in comparison to this dastardly evil chapter. It's like Bambi meets Godzilla. It's obvious to me that CJ wants to be King and Queen of evilest cliffhangers. Greedy, don't you think? I have called for an emergency meeting of the Goat Sub-Group Committee on Literary Merit. At the very least, CJ will be given the red carpet treatment. Well, it'll be red once we're done with him. :chris: Conner

Carl, that was a sweet, sweet story! It has made my Christmas merrier! Thanks! I loved the underwear thing....too funny and too sad at the same time. Like I said, sweet. Merry Christmas! Conner

It couldn't have been me in your dream. I am in my mid-50's (sort of) and stocky (definitely). I still have my hair though. Thank god for tender mercies. I'm also tall...certainly much taller than Danny Devito. It's obvious to me that you have issues with authority figures. As for the half-naked dude, that's just lust...pure unadulterated sock-it-to-me lust. Please send me all the details in a private PM. I'll be sure to respond in greater depth......and girth. Good on ya for the marks you're getting! Kicking ass at Christmas! Conner

It was this sentence with which you choked the English language. Btw, there are thousands of francophones/Quebecquois living in other provinces. They particularly like BC. Who wouldn't love lotusland? Our weed is the best. Conner

oppsie!
