SEC & Cal Lawyers

Totally believable EXCEPT that lawyers (especially those who work in partnerships) train in the state in which they are likely to take their bar exams, then STAY in those states, since details of laws vary greatly among states. They are several interesting details about black-powder pistols and modern smokeless powders and strength of steel that could have messed up their duel royally.

Since I Early On Appreciated the "Everyman" Stories,

I comfortably gave this a five star rating - much more true to life than many of your "Loving Wives" tales.

fun and interesting but

several (a couple of major) editing errors - enjoyable read nonetheless so thanks for submitting

A Good One

Thanks for the end-note. All the way through the story I had a feeling that these idiots were too stupid to be entirely fictional. I would not have been at all surprised to have read about the duel in the S. F. Chronicle.

Good & believeable to a point

I certainly like the "everyman" angle of the storuy. The guy wasn't so rich that he lit cigars with $20 bills or be wasn't beyond piss-poor either. The dueling pistols thing I have somewhat of a tough time with but I do buy the overly competative nature of just about everyone involved.

Excellent

I enjoyed this story as well as the others you have posted.

Sure was well written,

But, although I read the story through to the end (to find out what when and who) I found it impossible to give a damn in any way about ANY of the characters in the story: stupid, self absorbed people incapable of looking even one hour into the future to see the consequences of their actions. Hardest thing for me to reconcile was the fact that these irrational people would EVER become so succesful it in this world. I found nothing in the story to show me why they would be smarter in business than they were in their personal lives.

You are right Stultus...

A very fun and enjoyable story. I had two fucked up classmates/friends who became even more fucked up dot com billionaires...my one thought was always...GO FIGURE. Thank you Stultus.

Nicely Done

I readly enjoy your writing style Stulus thank you for taking the time to post your stories here

Amusing Take

on a horrible but realistic set of relations. Thanks for posting!

Light But Heavy!

Heavy, but light!

two unlikely to read

So two studs who bed women all over meet two sister sluts one night and bed them, are ego maniacs and bed hop with each others girl and marry them? Schist, these guys wouldn't even take those sluts out again. You think two competitive guys are going to marry sluts they both have slept with?- as in ruled by pride to going with no pride?

so true

lots of people take stories way to seriously. i on the other hand try to take it for what it is, a story. i know some authors say their story is true and might be, while others dont. in my opinion they are all bullshit, but at least they are fairly well written most of the time.

keep going, your way to good a writer to stop. true or not its still fun to read.

Funny story about 2-2 rivals. Why did not these rivals race who were better parents?

Good read (and a better reminder)

Good object lessons! Thanks for the read!
Every once in a while, it is useful to be reminded about the benefits of winning in a situation as compared to the disadvantages of losing in that situation. Especially if the option of avoiding or opting-out is also present!
As nice as getting off with the Capo's nubile Sweetie might be, avoiding a swim to the surface from the bottom of the Hudson River while wearing concrete boots trumps it! Even ten successes in a row doesn't beat that first (and last) loss!
4*

i liked it

gj. that is all.

Pretty damn good, all the makings of a fucking soap opera.

Well done and creative.

Only part I don't like is that Karin gets to fuck around with other women but he does not. He should at the very least be allowed to join.
