Oh God! The STD (Still Talking Dickwad) is back!! Michael-cillan anyone? Now that I am all caught up (finally) I want to run back to the chapter when he was leaving and live in a hope that against my though process, he would stay gone. Wishful thinking in the extreme! Not only that but he is just as insulting as ever towards Justin! I'm glad that Ted set him straight about what Justin is actually doing. It's funny to me that Deb wants a break from her offspring when her constant meddling caused him to be such a clingy bastard in the first place. She learned this particular lesson much too late!

Goodbye Pathetic Boy!! But like like a bad case of gonorrhea or the proverbial bad penny, he'll turn up again. <rolling eyes>

That's RIGHT Jen, TAKE CHARGE!!! I loved the way she let Deb have it too. 'How is Joan?' INDEED! She's as drunk as ever and meaner than cat piss but Brian is supposed to have sympathy for her? Amazing that!! Then she tries to make Brian call Michael; what the hell for? So he can whine and make everything about him? REALLY Deb??!! I had just about had it up to my eyeballs with her 'sympathy' and 'suggestions. but then she redeemed herself a little bit.

Star, BEST FUNERAL EVER!!! Deb telling off Joan and then getting ready to rip the bitch a new one was definitely worth its weight in gold! Now everyone knows what a horrible woman Joan Kinney is beneath all the prayers and platitudes she hands out willingly while sparingly doling out the love of Christ that she purports to have.

The commentary between Em and the lady sitting next to him had me damn near choking with laughter! Nevermind that even Jen's side comments had me chuckling! I think even Jack would have found the humor in this one! 

Good luck to David trying to mold Michael into something he would want to align himself with permanently. YIKES!! I think he would have more luck trying to rebuild Frankenstein.

Chris really needs to get a damn grip already! I used to think that he was strictly a closet case but now I'm leaning more towards Bi. Either way though, he's still an asshole!

Ah huh poor Mikey... yeah that is sarcasm . And Ben really needs to get his head on straight

Ty for another great chapter.

Michael is such an ungrateful dick (apologies to dicks everywhere and all men named Richard since I usually like most of you but Michael falls into the category of a head without a brain)!! Even while David is there and for once he's the center of attention the way he wanted to be, he still manages to be an idiot because Brian allowed his PARTNER to stay home and be a part of Michael's party....SMH Asshole (apologies to assholes everywhere especially because you all tend to be useful in some form or another whereas Michael isn't)! 

 I'm glad that Brian and Justin made it official. Now maybe, just maybe Michael will take the hint that he is really NOT wanted as a partner to Brian. SCHMUCK! 

Hopefully David being on board with Michael's party will get the scmuck back on track. Damn Ball-less Wonder lying to Tracy really made no sense to me. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure what she saw in him either...

I'm glad that Brian set Mel straight on how Jen really was in the former life. At first, like Brian, I couldn't stand her but after she got out from under Craig and started to form her own opinion about the B/J dynamic, I think I understood her a little bit more and by the 5th season I had a healthy respect for her. In this fic, she is gaining all of the Jen from the 5th season sooner and I really love that. I think she and Mel will definitely be able to help each other heal as time goes on woman to-woman, instead of hetero-to-lesbian.  

<Dancing around> I'm in Star's story! I'M IN STAR'S STORY!!!! WOW what awesomeness!! Go Ms. Roker!!

Thank goodness for Daph, Mark and the Art Club!! Good thing Justin was so distrustful of that Rat Bastard Craig too! He knew if he stood there and argued about getting in the car long enough, Craig would show his real motive. I'm also glad that Jen is finally getting rid of the asshole! She should take him for everything and only leave him with enough money for a pack of underwear for the rest of the year! Raggedy rat bastard! 

I'm glad that Emmett didn't buy into Michael's 'Woe is Me' diatribe. He's a jealous idiot who can't seem to do right by himself and doesn't want the family to do right by themselves either. Instead he wants to be coddled <in Michael's whiny voice> wo...woo...woo.....GROW UP MITCH!

LOL! First that scene with Kip, had me dying laughing! Justin is a real imp. It must be fun for him while everyone continues to think that he is just this ordinary, know-nothing kid. Then WHAM! He opens his mouth and basically reads them their 'rights to STFU' and goes about his business all innocent-like. LOL Ted definitely won't have any dull moments woking and hanging out with Brian and Justin.

As for Dumpy...I mean Dumbass...I mean Michael: He got just what the hell he deserved!! He should have known not to get spicy with Deb or she was going to make him pay for it. Guess he never learned not to piss off his lawyer, his doctor or his COOK! Well he learned TODAY!! LMFAOOOOOoooooo!

So nice to see Ted beginning to understand why Brian has faith in him. Brilliant idea about the way to set up the Art Department. Kinnetik Inc, which includes Em and Vic, is shaping up nicely!

Jack and Craig are definitely cut from the same cloth. Both are men who are not only homophobes but men who don't know how to love and accept their children for who they are. I'm glad that Justin reassured Brian that he is an amazing dad and as far removed from Jack Kinney as the east is to the west! 

LMFAO!!! Michael actually thought that Brian was agreeing with his foolery?! Once again, this proves that Michael only hears what he wants to hear instead of the truth. Well won't he be in for a shock when he finds out that he was truly the furthest thing from Brian's mind in those moments...LOL

As for Ben: WOW! My heart bleeds for him! I never understood why he had limited himself to Michael in the forst place but to finally find out that Michael's love was a lie in the afterlife has to be incredibly hard. I am glad that he reassured Kira and told Michael that no matter what he and Lindsay have or will try, that Brian and Justin are forever. 

I seriously doubt that Michael will man-up and take Carl's advice. I swear free will can be a botch sometimes because if it were me, I would have thrown Michael into the "Complain Train" known as Purgatory head first. Maybe it would have knocked some sense into the dumbass...

Starlight, star bright, you've granted my wish tonight.  It's a shame nothing could be done to save Jason.  But you have to admit letting Deb know about Ben's HIV status took her mind off of dating a cop!  Michael and his comic books.  Whenever he's with someone, he loses who he is and becomes a pod person.  No way to change that that I can see.

I love this chapter.  I always loved the final season where Jen and Brian got closer.  Can't wait to see what happens next.
