This is now the 7th most popular thread on the board. We've passed the 1000+ posts club as well as "What do we look like, anyway?" We have a long way to go to catch the next one on the list....the performance, which right now is over 1000.

Whoa!!   
I haven't been online much this weekend .. look what I see when I get back!
Do E & E rock or what?   
What I really do wish is that I had the Laramie Saga in a book, that I could add to the BBM short story & screenplay on my bedside table ...

Picturing the HJ Ellery (#3) leaning in the doorway, I can well understsand Junior's reaction. #3 did it for me - I've got my Ellery!

Woowee!
Seems like all of us, almost all (except dear Scudder, who is still faithful to the KC Ellery) have fallen for HJ Ellery!

Update to "A Second Chance"

I thought of Ennis as something of a loaded gun by the time Pete jumped him at the hotel, and there was no way he was going to respond to Pete...not emotionally anyway.

I thought you had portrayed him as a loaded gun quite perfectly, and it didn't seem too fast to me, what with all of Ennis' pent up emotions, etc... we know all about full throttle Ennis...

[louisev]

yes, that is part of the reason why the story is plotted that way.  He didnt want Bill, he shied away from Wayne and his nipples and tank top at the bar, and naked Pete grabbing his cock in the hotel sort of set him up for some free form sexual frustration that had no proper target.

And enter stage left.. hehehe

"We're gonna have tacos tonight darlin. I hope that's okay."       "Sure", Ellery replied...

Well, he's just having himself a real good old time teasing Ennis. What a sweetie.

I don't mind having my name there, it just looked like they were thinking I was going to be writing stories or something. Everyone signs up for the same account whether you are an author or not?

I laughed and I cried,  but I laughed much more, and it was good for me to do so.  Ellery is a devil, "sure" to  Ennis' "darling." And when Alma Jr thought Ennis was "robbing the cradle",  BAM! no wonder Ennis laughed.  I sure did. So, I think Ellery #2 (KC) is the one Junior would think is so young! "robbing the cradle".  Great go, Louise!
