wouldn't it be interesting if people grew down instead of up? Then you'd know how tall you were going to be when you were born, and you'd know when you were done growing when your feet touched the ground.
Dana, whenever I think about this book, I know I can trust you to post about it.
Also, that kid in the book who grew taller that way mentioned the exact same things. He thought that the 'normal' kid was an adult who looked much too young for his age because his feet already touched the ground, and talked about tragedies of people whose feet never reached the groud due to some problem, and how confusing it may be to view the world from a different point each day.
Hey, it's just one of my most favorite books in the whole world. And it's not like I'm able to post shortly as it is, anyway.
what would loungers look like if our knees bent the other way?
Scary visual place. Involving, um, scientific experiments on dolls that we've made as little kids. We had one that not only bended on either direction, but was flexible enough to have her arms and legs all tied up together. Um, I think I should talk about books instead. Or something.
Wouldn't the day you stopped being able to float kinda suck?
On that day, there'd be this big ritual marking you as an adult. Plus: shoes.
I like to think of myself as closer to the beer.

It would mean that your feet would be between you and the television.

doesn't shel silverstein have a poem about that?
Shel Silverstein is a hack that stole Tim's idea.
What if someone threw a kerfuffle and no one came?
Also, ita can't fight for shit. Seriously, my dead grandma could take her.
What if someone threw a kerfuffle and no one came?
Wouldn't it take at least two people for a kerfuffle to be kerfuffled? One to throw the first post, one to kerfuff about it? So if nobody comes, no kerfuffling is possible, by definition?

Can someone with multiple personalites kerfuffle with him/herself?
Would things would be more or less confusing if we required each multiple personality to have its own sock puppet?

Hey now, I KERFLUFFLED! Stop invalidating my ability to kerfluffle!
Happy belated birthday, Tim.
I enjoyed your interview on The Signal: "I am like Sisyphus, pushing a show up the hill." So here's a belated birthday inspirational thought, in my best Holland Manners voice (not that I think Camus worked for W&H), "One must imagine Sisyphus happy. Healthy production deals, Tim."
