Well, Chapter 1 is up. Chapter 2 will be up soon. Good, bad, or indifferent, tell me what you think.

Lol, cord telephones, I liked that. Once again, you managed to turn the tables around. Let's see if Packy is up to the task.
PS. Since the site has, astonishingly, been brought back to life, we'll proceed to upload the stories as soon as possible. Thanks for all your contributions!

Dingbat,
As a multi-year lurker on various forums who has now decided to step out of the shadows, I want to say how much I have always admired your contributions. And the adherence of your characters to classic TV-inspired tie-ups has always had the ring of truth for me!

Hooray for yet another happy - and knotty - conclusion of the pajama-avengers troop!
I particularly liked your dialog improvements, Dingbat. Just out of curiosity, did any of the boys ever "abandon" the group?

Btw, I just noticed you aren't aware of some tiny but incredibly useful punctuation rules for dialogs.
"Hi there." said Doug. <=== X
"Hi there," said Doug. <=== Correct. There's a ',' just before the quotation mark.
"Hi there!" said Doug. <=== Correct. With '!' or '?' there's no need of a ','.
Doug said "Hi there." <=== X
Doug said, "Hi there." <=== Correct.
"Hi there," Doug said ", What are you guys up to?" <=== X
"Hi there," Doug said, "what are you guys up to?" <=== Correct. Do not capitalize an interrupted quotation.
Hope this will be useful.

As we grew older, we "grew out of it." Wayne was a good example. He participated infrequently, as did Big Kevin, who were 15 and 16 respectively. They discovered that those things with long hair and cooties, suddenly were quite interesting, especially when they grew those lumps on their chests.
