Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Natter 43: I Love My Dead Gay Whale Crosspost.  

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.

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

I am totally calling Scandal! I thought Nutty was giant!

Pah. We have this discussion every six months, when it is re-revealed that ita is the same height as me (or if you believe my sister, taller). Also, I think ita can actually wear most kinds of high heels, which I can't any more.

Jesse is like a yard taller than I am. Nora is taller than I am.

You don't have to be tall to defeat a cheetah!!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Nonono. I may not be certified yet, but I lived in Detroit for years. Pimps walk. It's a punctuated, syncopated rocking bounce. Stroll is way too even and unsnazzy to describe a pimp in motion.

I think I meant "strut" instead of "stroll". However, "strut" sounds too fast for what I'm thinking.

"Walk" however, is WAY to prosaic.

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

I can ask her any questions you might have...or I could just give you her e-mail address

Right now I just have a big whine. I'm okay with studying for tests. But having to account for 4500 hours of project management over my career? Jayzus. They ask for an assload of detail.

Oh! I thought of a question--is she a member of PMI? If so (or not) why?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You know we're never going to believe you heightwise again, and that Hec's checking off "height issues" in your file right now.

Nutty looks to be about 5'7" to me. I think the problem here is that flea was a jealous child, and wanted to ensure that she always had the upper hand over her wee sister. I wouldn't be surprised if she was slipping Nutty coffee as a baby, deliberately trying to stunt her growth.

Uh, I'm 5'8. Taller than you either way. And wearing 3" heels today. I'm flea-sized! Which looks way weird in print.

"Walk" however, is WAY to prosaic.

Hey, I call it a pimp walk because it's called a pimp walk.

I wouldn't be surprised if she was slipping Nutty coffee as a baby, deliberately trying to stunt her growth.

And swinging her leg over the bairn's head, I'm sure.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh no oh no. I am calling my bookie. Put twenty on cheetah!

Pesky space bar!

Mostly lurking...

They ask for an assload of detail.

Yes. I remember her saying that...although, she didn't use the world assload.

Oh! I thought of a question--is she a member of PMI? If so (or not) why?

I've asked her. I'll let you know.


Jesse - Mar 01, 2006 9:27:03 am PST #602 of 10001
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse is like a yard taller than I am.

Nah -- just 3".

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Pah. We have this discussion every six months, when it is re-revealed that ita is the same height as me (or if you believe my sister, taller). Also, I think ita can actually wear most kinds of high heels, which I can't any more.

Yeah, but ita is short, even in high heels.
