... so ... We are definitely limited in material but these 6 books will always be the core of this group and what will most likely attract future members. ...
... I've toyed with the idea of writing FanFic, but with something like BB it would be hard to 1) construct an interesting enough plot with a real puzzle ...
As for me, I'm still interested in the group. Maybe we just have summer doldrums or something. I'd like to continue writing but I have too many irons in the...
... Ok, Mark, I'm taking that challenge..... I'm not really happy with this, but maybe you and the other BB-ites can help fix it up. Here it goes: "Long time...
What a relief. I thought I had killed the BB bulletin board with my suggestion. Dice Man, that was a good story! I'll bet everyone has a BB short-short,...
well, I'm still here, but with life (4 kids and a beautiful wife), I've not got as much time as I used to to read all the posts...BUT...if some stories were to...
... can ... Nice start Dan. I appreciate it. I am still around. (Sorta of like a bad smell.) I am just trying to get thru two stories, one on a deadline. But...
First of all: Way to go Dan! You may not be happy with the story, but I think it's great because it addresses a subject that Jimmy never gave us any details...
Thanks to Joel and Charles and Mark for their supportive remarks... There are very much appreciated!! I was planning on extending the vignette to include the...
... Then we could pool our best ideas and decide what we like the best. OK Dan, Sounds like a good idea to me. I've always wondered about that myself. I have...
I just re-read MM for about the 20th time....and I noticed some facts that might help pin down the locale in which Crestwood might have been based. In the...
... The location of Crestwood is an interesting one There is another clue as to Crestwood's location, however it is in the Golden Press imprint of MM and not...
We know MM was published in 1959. We also know from page 15 of MM that Brains and Jimmy got together about one year before that, 1958, to start the BCIDA. I...
Wow, Scott, I really liked that. Very cool, Very tantalizing....can't wait for the next bit. Ahem, I thought you said you couldn't write? ... that Brains and...
I remember some conversation about that a good while back...fortunately, I have both editions :) You are absolutely correct. Page 160, in both books, BTW,...
Scott...excellent job...I applaud your efforts and appreciate them. And Dan (or is it Frank?)...TY for getting things going again. Now...if we can get Gomez to...
The Case of the Benton and Carson International Detective Agency Part Two Now that was interesting. I wondered what Brains had in mind, but I wouldn't find out...
Finding Crestwood is more than a tough problem. I reasoned that CSV located Crestwood within his own experience. That seemed the natural thing for a writer to...
The Case of the Benton and Carson International Detective Agency Part Three We went down the ladder back to the second floor and stared at the huge empty room....
I am really enjoying your "short story" Scott :) ... huge empty room. "This garage was a coach house back in the horse and buggy days" Brains said "The second...
Mark, very good observations and conclusions.... We are pretty much left with some broad generalizations about Crestwood's location. It is my opinion that each...
Congratulations Dan! A great start on what should be a fascinating story! Please don't stop now! ... Thanks for the vote of confidence Mark. I'm afraid I...
The Case of the Benton and Carson International Detective Agency Part Four Early the next morning I got started on my chores. First up was the grass. It had to...
The Case of the Benton and Carson International Detective Agency Part Five I thought I would go over to HQ after we ate our big meal the next day, Sunday, no...
Cliff hanger already? Ok, I'm a hangin'..... ... day, Sunday, no such luck. Dad saw to that the moment I asked. "James," he said "You have been over to his...
The Case of the Benton and Carson International Detective Agency Part Six I went over to the Lab right after lunch. I knocked on the door of the garage and...
Hey all, First, I haven't had time to do more than skim, Scott, but it appears you are deserving of the praise you're getting! Hopefully, I'll have time to...
