*many excited noises* the interview is in half an hour.
“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

While we are waiting (impatiently) for Roland and David to come up with some sailor pictures...

The old fashioned sailor pants (I think the uniform has changed) had 13 buttons and I vaguely remember there were alot of 13 button jokes out there in the world. I did google search and couldn't find any jokes but I did find a funny thing on "How to Simulate Being a Sailor." I won't post it all but you can read it here:

This one made me laugh:

34. Every couple of weeks, dress up in your best clothes and go to the scummiest part of town. Find the most run down, trashiest bar, and drink beer until you are hammered. Then walk all the way home.

Wow! What a lot of good conversation is going on today on our thread. :)

For our dear Louise and her next contract work, I offer an affirmation: What is meant to be will be.

Concerning "the Ennis we all love" versus the Ennis of the Laramie Saga, I offer another thought, from the point of view of spiritual direction: The healthiest thing I have ever heard homosexual men and women say is, "I have come to accept myself the way I have been made." I think I hear an "Amen!"
Peace be with y'all,
Fred

I don't think Dupree is jealous that Lance and Jeeves are hooking up.    He is upset that this is happening as retribution for his finally meeting a guy he likes.

He likes Jeeves, just not in a sexual way.   And he is probably angry that Lance is taking advantage of the situation.

Plus this drama is interupting his infatuation with Nick the Sailor.  


I totally agree with you David.  Dupree is confused in lots of ways, but I am sure he is just upset at possibly hurt Jeeves, but he's not jealous.  Why would he be?  He had lots of opportunities for something to happen with him, and he only took one when he was blind drunk.
