This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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

5'11 137lbs? I...nope. I could never be an athlete at that size. My arms would not be that small if I played tennis regularly. That's not how my body responds to exercise. Then there's the football player at 5'7 and 200+ lbs. DAYUM. That's some power. Not entirely sure how to parse the stats of the rower, and her quote is totally alien. Wow. So does that mean she rows without legs?

In pics like those, do the guys have themselves tucked away in some sort of strapless jobbie, or is there a risk of tackle spray at any time?

I mostly slept all day. I wish I felt significantly better.

If you're a surfer who's getting intimate with the seabottom, rough or smooth, you're having a pretty bad go of it.

I'm delighted that they have the paralympians. And I think the sailor has extra muscles that I don't recognize. Are those the lats on her torso?

That's Mike-from-work's daughter, smonster.

Which Mike from work? Need moar context.

What on EARTH is tackle spray?

I find the male gymnast covering his junk to be unintentionally hilarious.

Then there's the jockey, with the horse licking his head. His upper head.

BIG MIKE. Works in the MRO shop. Really tall, volleyball coach...from the Virgin Islands originally...basically, the guy who looks like he could raise an extremely tall national volleyball player.

Do you remember our former student intern Lydia? He was her former volleyball coach, and all of her sisters', too.

Oh right. OF COURSE. He's so awesome! Did you know that she was in there or just recognize her name?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That was my favorite photo. The grin on his face.

I knew that she was a pro volleyball player, and that she was really good, because he had talked to me about it last year...making the transition from being a college player to pro player (in Europe, I think?) without letting it go to her head. And then I recognized her last name, and then she looks an awful lot like him, so I made the connection. And then I just looked her up on Wikipedia to be sure.

Yeah, he's awesome. I'm going to have to mention her to him at work tomorrow. But leave out the naked part.
