There's going to be a bomb on the plane, too! Conner

Congrats, Graeme! Well done................ I was on another GBLT site recently and they have a Graeme with over 3,000 posts too. Anyone you know? Conner

Congrats, Jan! Good on ya. Conner

I love that. Don't use it anymore. It's mine! Be happy and, yes, be thankful. Have a great Thanksgiving, y'all! Conner

I liked the way Jeremy took charge of Michael at school. Good on him! It seemed that Michael appreciated it as well. So the Pheonix mages now have a council....that ought to bring the action to a grinding stop. The table is well set for the meeting with the Devil Lord. I'm looking forward to that chapter. Thanks, Dan. Conner

Happy B-Day, Colin!!! All the best! Yeah, what Michael said! Conner

The Herd is a very intelligent lot and do not come to the chapter forum before reading the chapter. So there! For Dimitri, the extermination of employees is more of a business decision than anything else. Think of the huge savings in salary, benefits and all the paperwork that goes with it. If he was really worried about "leaks" concerning the project, he could have simply had the not-so-good gunsmith sign a non-disclousure agreement. I believe Dimitri likely graduated from the same school of management as Eric.....that is, the Eric from the other story...the one with pool parties. Ok, so the boss got to show off his flying skills knowledge in this chapter. Big deal!!! Boring!!! Other than that, that was a 2-thumbs up chapter. I don't believe CJ actually announced a "secret" and then revealed it in the same chapter. Bravo! See, CJ cares deeply for his fans. The song lyrics were so sweet. Chase is just going to eat him up once they get off stage. Given how long we had to wait for a simple kiss, I'm just wondering how many chapters will we have to wait for Chase to get laid? Conner

Hey Jamie-dude!! I took an introductory pilosophy couse in my sophmore year in university. Btw, we're talking 35 years ago. It was mandatory for all science students...along with some other drivel. I didn't care for it at all and just barely passed. Mostly it made my head hurt. :wacko: Philosophy is up there with pure mathematics. I liked your story. Chicken Soup? Indeed!! I believe the relative greatness of any written work must also be measured by what people get out of it. I lost my grandpa when I was 12. I remember a deep sadness as I, too, had not been able to say goodbye. Conner

Rambling??? I was thinking more along the lines of babbling. Concentric thinking? I like that. What I do is called orbital interface self-dialogue!!! The interface part is where I keep running into myself coming from the other direction. Steve, I truly admire dudes who are not afraid of making themselves vulnerable, meaning a target for others. You are not alone. This may be your only solace. Humans do dumb stuff like this. I'm with Trebs. You answered your own question. It sounds like a fine topic. Maybe you could also talk about how it's always the squeeky wheel that gets oiled. Animal lovers, god bless them, are vociferous to say the least. The silent majority, as dkstories would say, get what they deserve. Conner

Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me..... Conner

Happy B-Day, Kojaky!!! Conner

Billy, That is a remarkable story. Beautifully written, beautifully told. That there is beauty in life's pain....I don't know...I'll have to ponder that for a while. Bravo! Conner

When I posted, I had completely forgotten that Dennis was somewhat drunk. I suppose that would figure in when examining his behaviour. I should start taking notes. Conner

Worthington's uncle still has to figure into all of this one way or another....I think. :wacko: Dan's got me turning into Pavlov's dog every Friday now. Oh well, what's a little drool here and there. Given the threat posed by the Demon Lord, the Light mages are coming across like a bunch of whiners. Roger should be put out of his misery...lunch for the demons sounds good. I always thought adept meant you were ambidextrous....when it came to certain things. Great chapters, Dan! Conner

Vince Jr. in military school for 2 years. Yes, I like that. Mind you, it would have been nice to have Cray do a little kung fu on Vince's head. So, a hot dude named Michael who's also into Tai Chi. A romance in the making??? I guess Henry's history at this point. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop. I thought it might have been Vince Jr, but that's handled. Ok, so I'm already thinking sequel starring Mario, with a little bit of Spike thrown in. Great chapter, Jack! Conner

Poor Dennis. It simply goes to show you what happens when you want everything to be perfect and you're totally committed to it. There's no room for flexibility when something doesn't go right. Given the stress that Dennis is under, I'm surprised he didn't do something worse. I'm glad Dennis stood up for his man! :2hands: The guy in the bar was a total jerk. Given Gerald's history, his reaction was to be expected, I guess. Obviously, anger and violence scare the crap out of him. It was great that he took the time to explain his reaction to Dennis. I believe it's something that Gerald needs to deal with, though. His behaviour does not serve him well, nor the relationship. Sweet, sweet chapter, Nick. Conner

Remembrance Day is also celebrated in Canada on November 11. It's not a national holiday per se, but certainly all government offices are closed, banks as well. It has the same purpose as Veterans Day. It's a day accorded a great deal of reverence by all races and faiths. Conner

My thought was that Joe really overplayed his hand in terms of Cray's "connections". It's clear, though, that Joe has the final say. He is the boss. I'm just not so sure Joe has done him any favours here. If Cray gets such a reputation, isn't that exactly what Joe wants to avoid? It may well happen, though. I'm hoping the other students will judge Cray by his actions and not his reputation. Ok, so what if Cray can't handle all this "respect" he'll be getting? Maybe he'll become the new and improved Vinny Jr? I can just hear him now, "Hey, Timmy Twat, have your sweet ass in the sports equipment locker in 10 minutes! Oh yeah, if you know what's good for ya, bring lube!" Ok, ok, that won't happen. I'm most impressed with the way Mario handled this situation. Trying to settle things with Vinny first was a very wise move. It's best not to involve the boss unless necessary. Mario's got the smarts for buisness and politics. Another great chapter, Jack! I'm going to have to award you a cliffhanger, though. I can't wait to listen to an apologetic Vinny Jr. Conner

I guess I should have known that the government would get involved in all this. There's a lot to be said for having a spry young body...to tempt others with, that is. Another government official who couldn't keep his dick in his pants.... although, this time it was outside the oral office. Ok, so Worthington was holding his own with the Demon Lord, then Jamie became available, why didn't they go for a kill on the Demon Lord? :wacko: All the Demon Lord offered was to exclude Worthington and all identified by him from the demon attacks. Not really a great deal, in my view. It strikes me demons are far worse at keeping deals than the dwarfs . It's a curious offer though. It exculpates Uncle Sinclair as being the summoner....I think. Yes, something quite sinister is going on. I think Worthington should have a threesome with Jamie and Jeremy...you know...just in case things don't go well at the meeting with the Demon Lord. I hope Worthington thanked Jamie for his increased girth. I wonder if Jeremy knows about that yet. Again, great chapters, Dan! Conner

The epiphany scene was just superb...making love without having sex... Scott recalling how he washed Josh in the shower the night before..that was so touching. Writing Luc's goodbye message to Scott must have been extremely difficult. Very well done, Duncan. Conner

Happy B-Day, Gandalf!! ....wherever you may be...enjoy. Conner

You're a man of your word, Jack. Two great chapters! Thanks Cray must be thinking that he's died and gone to heaven. He deserves it all, though. Including Henry. Yes, that was a nice way to wake up in the morning. Uncle Mario's a sweetheart. So I'm thinking Spike's date with Lou went really well....the prince/frog metaphor was cool though. More, please? Conner

Party, party, party! Is that all you think about? I like it. Conner

It's getting to the point where Carl's butt is playing a bigger role than Carl. OUCH!! Remind me never to get myself possessed by a dark mage. That was quite the exorcism. I guess Jamie had to do it if the result was going to be Carl's enslavement. Michael owes Jamie big time. I thought Michael had set up some protections around Carl several chapters ago??? :wacko: I love tough old ladies with that sarcastic edge to them! That meeting was a great scene. So Uncle Sinclair plans on increasing his power by having these demons goggle up some mages. I guess he's one Sinclair that got over his fear of demons. At this point, I just can't see anyone else being the demon summoner. He certainly knows how to hold a grudge! Why are ethical issues only for the people in the middle? Great chapters, Dan! Conner

I always read your posts, Ieshwar! I adore your sense of humour! Conner
