Warning: Longest way to a bad pun follows. You have been warned. So, during the dot com boom this guy had an idea and made a couple of billion by selling his company. But then he got bored. He decided that he needed a pet to help fill up his time. He went to a pet store and talked to the owner. He s...

Nice find, but the 'Wayback Machine' didn't seem to get all of the story. At one point there were 5 more chapters. :cry: I have an old chapter listing for 'A Time of Heroes' which doesn't stop at chapter 136. It goes on with; 137 - Casualties , 138 - Breaking Point , 139 - Selfishness , 140 - Ashes...

Anyone got some new links to start this one off? ... Hmmm... I'm not sure if this is new but on SOL look at any of Lazlo Zalezak's stories. For some action go with Hunter but I'd really suggest Thunder and Lightening or The Millionaire Next Door . http://www.storiesonline.net Also on SOL by Dotb is...

Thanks for the new chapter!

And happy hannakwanasoltimas to you!

I've been re-reading the Honor Harrington books, mostly. At the moment, I'm waiting for tomorrow night (Sunday) 20:00 (19:00 Central) for AMC's re-visioning of "The Prisoner." Sounds like 4 nights of fun viewing.

Ok. Found it on http://web.archive.org/web/20080117150146/http://www.geocities.com/gryffonseyrie/ That is not the complete story. There were several chapters past 136 that dealt with the threat of White Lightning. I've managed to find everything but parts 75, 138, and 141. If anyone has those parts...

ledsmith: I think your confusion may come from his referring to the current loreguard pistols as breech loading in this chapter. You are correct in that muzzle loading is done from the front of the gun. Breech loading is done from the rear. Muzzle loading is powder, wad, shot loaded from the front. ...

I sort of wonder why the Arcans (with a virtually unlimited supply of crystals) don't make a crystal powered rifle. It has the advantages of throwing a projectile a long distance and not requiring a scarce supply of gun powder, casings, or primers, just bullets. Even if they could not use the crysta...

... stories from TerribleThom. Now I got curious enough to check out if he had anything new out since last year or so. And guess what: he apparently moved sites once more. Does anybody know where he posts right now? ... Hmmm ... It was SOL then yahoogroups then a private server then back to ThomsTa...

Wow, in the last half dozen posts, one of you guys came close to grabbing the brass ring. Unfortunately you turned off too soon and moved the wrong way. :? So you think it's Vil, huh? Interesting, I'd like to here more. On how many people could know. Remember that there are two other mansions that ...

My cynical take:

Annulment = You've payed good money to the priests to get out of a religious union.

Divorce = You've payed good money to the lawyers to get out of a civil union.

We've had this discussion many times...tinfoil doesn't stop a strong enough psionic. There's four or five of us in here. :twisted: Yes, since what most people refer to as tin foil is really aluminum foil with a density of about 1/4 that of tin, it is incapable of stopping even fairly week psionics....
