Are you in  a great hurry, brimstone?  It would make your stories so much more interesting if you took the time to type words in full instead of text talk abbreviations that some of us oldies find hard to understand.  

Your stories are great but require a bit of translation!

You could start a thread called "Compendium of Brimstone Tales"

I kind of like them this way, Moi.  It feels like having to translate the Rosetta Stone, and in some parts I do well and in other parts I have no clue what Brimstone's is saying (but I am still trying to decypher it).

I didn't have you down as a masochist, Phillip!
