uh-oh - the tapioca pearl tea discussion again!
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.
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.
