No, Vortex, it's fine! It is about our oldest kid. It's just ... I more don't want to write it all out and face it all right now, really. Thank you, though, really.
And thanks, Jesse.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

On the C.L.: The Picture You Can't Stop Talking About: Meet "the Woman on p. 194":
Here's the deal: The picture wasn't of a celebrity. It wasn't of a supermodel. It was of a woman sitting in her underwear with a smile on her face and a belly that looks...wait for it...normal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Luckily, the only issue in my household is that my cat is having semi-regular hairballs. That's just because of the hot weather, right? And will be fixed my more rigorous brushing? (This is helped by the fact that my household is only my cat and myself....)

That woman is a size 12 or 14? That photo is totally ensmallening, belly rolls or not.

What Jesse said. I'm a 12-14, and that woman is either sucking it in or Photoshopped.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hey, I'm a 12 and I am only 5'4.

The dip from the little belly roll up to her ribcage just does not look like normal human anatomy.
And to answer their other question - yes, I've been to enough gym locker rooms and women-only spas to know what "normal" looks like beyond my own skin.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, the other jokes got robbed! Here are the ones I'd put over the hedgehog joke:
• 2) Paddy Lennox - "I was watching the London Marathon and saw one runner dressed as a chicken and another runner dressed as an egg. I thought: 'This could be interesting'."
• 5) Jack Whitehall - "I'm sure wherever my dad is; he's looking down on us. He's not dead, just very condescending."
• 7) Marcus Brigstocke - "To the people who've got iPhones: you just bought one, you didn't invent it!"
• 8) Rhod Gilbert - "A spa hotel? It's like a normal hotel, only in reception there's a picture of a pebble."

Eh, I've got that, when sucking it in a little. Big rib cage. Which is why, along with my shoulders, I won't get much smaller than a 12 or so on top, no matter what I lose. Bottom is a different story entirely. She's curvier from the waist down than I, but I'm curvier up top.
