Balloons! Humungous hot air balloons!

Oh, god, this coming on top of the three or four preceding posts made me guffaw in a way that had heads poking over the surrounding cubicles. I had to make something up to explain.

What is even happening?

I think high-waisted and low-waisted refers to pants, and short-waisted and long-waisted refers to people.

See, I've always heard high and low used for people, so I'm still having trouble figuring out what short and long are. Does short equate to high?

hip deep in pie

I was in the top 6.9%, but I gat paid in CDN $$.

I just poured myself a glass of milk and took a big swig, and it was sour. So disgusting!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think I'm revising my opinion, and I think that short and long waisted refers to the distance from hip to sternum, relative to height. Then, if you're using high and low waisted to refer to people, that refers to where in that hip to sternum region the natural waist is.

I am longwaisted. That is to say, a normal one-piece bathing suit goes up my butt, because my torso is longer than the suit's. I can wear pants that are high-waisted (like a Hollywood waist) or low-waisted (except they look like ass on me because I have no butt). I can't buy dresses off the rack, though, because I end up with hip-fabric flapping all around me.

Waisted, waisted, the word has lost all meaning.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Film-makers had to shrink IOAN GRUFFUDD's genitals for the new FANTASTIC FOUR movie - so he wouldn't alarm young cinema-goers.

After Ralph Fiennes' ending nude scenes in Red Dragon were screened, they went back and did some judicious editing. Apparently, there were audible gasps from the crowd over Ralph's endowment.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Apparently, there were audible gasps from the crowd over Ralph's endowment.

Didn't the same thing happen to Colin Farrell?

Which means, of course, that they must all star together in a remake of Love! Valor! Compassion! Or, you know, any script that requires them to be naked a lot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

any script that requires them to be naked a lot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good for Brooke Shields.
