No... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... no... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Louise , what are you doing to us 

I couldn't bear the boys being exposed like that. Makes me feel a bit ill actually. They're private about what they have, and it's beautiful. Their intimacy should not a source of sordid entertainment for Wayne and Gene or anybody else (well, maybe us, but we're just reading about it). Just how mortified would Ennis be?

Of course, if they found the camera, and well, decided on a home movie of their own, that would be a different matter. 

God bless your striking colleagues. Hope you get the opportunity to put us out of our misery before the end of the day. Or is this a plot line that's going to lie low for a while to resurface in the future?

I agree with everything you said there Kazza. Thats just horrible. God help them if Ennis finds out. Ellery would be furious enough, but Ennis is another matter entirely. I hope this isnt a plot line thats going to resurface. The thought of a video of thats supposed to be a private moment between those two being gawped at by someone else does make you feel ill doesnt it? I think you,ve got to be pretty sick to want to do that myself. Yes a home movie made by those two for their veiwing pleasure is another matter entirely.  I think the other is sick.

Karen, I'm glad you said that, cos I feel exactly the same way.  God, I felt a bit sick when I read that chapter...I thought at first they were going to find the tape of Ennis and Ellery from a while ago, but now they've actually set up a fresh tape and the first people to appear on it will be Ennis and Ellery! No no no no!  Ennis is going to be absolutely mortified about this if it doesnt get nipped in the bud soon.   Imagine what he will do to Wayne? And Ellery - he might pop another rib when he finds out!  I actually liked Wayne, now I'm not so sure.  I know he's got the hots for Ennis, so this will be like striking gold to him!

I really hope this gets sorted out before it goes too far....the thought of their private intimate moments being a source of entertainment makes me feel a bit ill......

  

I used to like Wayne as well Christie. I dont care who you,ve got the hots for, you dont do that. Yuk.

Absolutely souxi.  Wayne's got a boyfriend, for god's sake, what does he need to do this for?

But how are Ennis and Ellery going to find out about the camera?  Well, actually I dont care how, I just care about when.

People...think for a minute....

Who was in the bedroom on Friday night/Saturday morning? Doing what? Do you really think they changed the sheets?

And what does Ennis hate?

If I recall correctly, the apartment has 2 bedrooms....

Because I need to take my mind off the latest developments in Laramie, I wonder if I could ask a really random question? Does anyone know if you can buy doughboys in the UK?

Oh Lesley, thank you for stepping in and saving me from losing my mind with worry over this!  You are right - Ennis likes nothing more than clean sheets, as Ellery has learned. I wonder if he goes to change the sheets, opens the cupboard, and viola, sees the camera?  See how I am latching on to your words Lesley, and convincing myself that this is not going to get very far before Ennis and Ellery find out?

I've never seen them Christie, but perhaps more specialist food stores might do them.

From what I've heard they're not unlike what we call scones. Perhaps akin to soda scones, which having Irish roots I'm quite familiar with.

Hee hee maybe we have have a UK Doughboys Virgins thread. We can eat them whilst reading updates to The Laramie Saga.

I hope your right Christie. And to answer your question about doughboys, I have no idea. I have never even heard of one until I started reading this story. Whatever they are, people out there sure seem to eat a lot of them.

[Bigheart]

Ladies! You are killing me with all this stuff    I know I shouldn't have read these posts but I couldn't resist. I'm 2 or 3 chaps behind......

Pillsbury Crescent rolls were invented in the mid 1960s, designed to be a timesaver for the busy housewife who didn't have time to bake from scratch. The Doughboy (actually, his name is Poppin' Fresh) is the advertising icon for the brand.

The dough comes in a cardboard tube, which you whack against the edge of the counter (or press with a spoon). You take out the little circles and line them up on your cookie sheet, bake for 15 mintues at 400 degrees and voila! Hot, fresh baked biscuits!

Edna might argue about the quality but they really aren't bad. We usually have a tube or two of some sort of Pillsbury Poppin' Fresh product in the refrigerator in my house.

For you Brits...do you have a grocery store that sells food items for homesick ex-pat Americans? You might find them there. LOL
