LMAO!!!!  The kidnapper diagnosed his cancer...

What's sad is that I probably would have been enthralled with that story back in the day. :D

Yeah.... It was a little off. :D

I think I really liked it, then they stopped updating, then I realized it was really unbelieveable. ... :D

People think it would be fun to be a bird because you could fly. But they forget the negative side, which is the preening.

Well, I'm sure Nick died a very slow and painful death... Quite depressing, actually.

:D   Omg, that would be hilarious.  Maybe I'd actually finish that MST LOL.  The one I have isn't finished because the story it was on wasn't that easy to make fun of.  It was weird, but good, so I got bored with it.

Dee, do you have the link to this fic?

Gah.... No.

It was probably on the old BSBBLVD message board....

If you could write an MST for it though, that would be hilarious. :D
