Bomb Threat????

If I hadn't evacuated with a guy who gets all the alerts on his pager, we'd have had no idea why we were being made to stand outside for half an hour in the sun. Dressed for AC.

that would be your chin.

If someone says "You have something on your lower lip," you honestly dab at your chin?

say a person raises an eyebrow while making eye contact with you and walking by.....twice. cheeky, yes?

Is the person of appropriate gender and looks?

Inconsistently, the lower lip is the one that trembles before crying.

Predictably, I dislike this and want things made regular.

Personally, I think Hec is on the monkey crack.

Upper lip=upper kissy part

Lower lip=lower kissy part

chin=chin

I have no name for the space between the upper lip and nose. I think we should make something up.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Vortex!

Congrats, jengod!

I'm trying to remember if my first F2F meeting with online folks was the first GEnieuses F2F I attended in Houston(Group of folks from the GEnie Users BB on GEnie) or QuantumCon 93, where I hung out with a bunch of AOL Leapers.(this indirectly led to me discovering SF cons, and meeting G)Either way, I lost track of the folks in both groups after leaving the services in question.

First Buffista I met was probably Theo, at a Boskone.(Amusingly enough, G recognized her first, since he knew her from GEnie)

I have no name for the space between the upper lip and nose. I think we should make something up.

On Hec or other mustachioed persons, I call that part "your mustache." On persons without mustaches, I call it "under your nose." Although technically everything from the philtrum down to the bottoms of the toes is under the nose, there's been startlingly little confusion so far.

See that's what I would have said but then thought of what part of my face is waxed when I go to get a "lip" wax. JUST THAT AREA. craziness.

appropriate looks?

you are weird.

I have a scratch on my upper lip. I have a scratch above my top lip. I have a scratch next to my philtrum.

It's very complicated.

appropriate looks?

you are weird.

Not at all. Some people can pull off stuff others can't--and sometimes you can tell. Was it a leery old man rubbing dry hands together? Was it a chipper young man? Maternal older woman?

I have no flat answer. It's deeply contextual.

And you call me weird when your chin goes by the alternate name of lower lip?

See that's what I would have said but then thought of what part of my face is waxed when I go to get a "lip" wax. JUST THAT AREA. craziness.

That is a stumper.

I just looked in my Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, and apparently there is no official name for that whole area. There's the philtrum, and the lovely muscle that controls your lip and makes everything from smiles to sneers to oral sex possible is called the orbicularis oris.

Orbicularis oris. Orbicularis oris. It doesn't really flow. I think the hivemind could do better than that. We came up with vagina bojangler, surely we can outdo orbicularis oris.

First, congratulations jengod!

Second, my first f2f encounter was with the buffistas, at an LAista dinner way back when ita first arrived in LA. At Jerry's Deli, I think. I mostly recall the live action version of the Kristen and Allyson show. And Alibelle's eating. And that Robin looked exactly like herself, even though I had never seen her before.

Third? Yes, msbelle, cheeky.

That's just because they don't want to say "mustache wax" to a girl.
