"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Are we discussing Dahl because of the short profile of him in the New Yorker this past week? If so, then woo hoo for context! If not, then I am informing you all of same.

He was gigantically tall, it turns out.

I just got back from Tealuxe, which company is offering pearl tea now. I'm not really a fan of The Original Pearl Tea, because unsweet tapioca tastes like nothing and chewing on balls of same feels like snot or rubber. But Tealuxe's tapioca is slightly sweet! And they let you add pearls to any iced tea you want.

Just the American bastardization I was looking for!

No, but I just bought Emmett the recently published D Is For Dahl alphabetical bio. Which is jam packed with interesting bits.

He was gigantically tall, it turns out.

6' 6" - When he was a fighter pilot in WWII his knees were up under his chin most of the time.

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

6'6 isn't gigantic. It's ... really nice.

Of course they are! Gigantic == too big. It's very simple.

What Kevin would say to you now is "Are you gay just because you live in San Francisco?"

Or something like. No baller he.

As for the basketball player, it didn't quite make it to fling status.

A basketball player tripped over me once. Just because I was nearly two feet shorter than him, you'd think he'd learn to look down.
