Natter 70: Hookers and Blow
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.
I have been reading early 20th century men's taloring books, and they are ll based on an ideal figure (in one book they called him the regular Apollo) of 38 chest, 33 waist, 39 hips, and 5'8". Then they discuss the divergences from it- short, slim, corpulent and stout. Corpulent means a Big Guy- like a former athlete who has aged, while stout means having a big belly. Then there are whole chapters on how to make a coat for a hunchback, and pants for the bowlegged and knock-kneed!
That is fantastic.
There is a guy who works near me who is the most bowlegged person I've ever seen. It is bananas!

So we're not talking a Jensen Ackles Clarke Peters Thomas Gibson cute bowlegs thingy?
He's a grizzled old cowboy, right?
Sophia, that sounds fantastic.
I am on day three of a low-grade PMS migraine. I have cramps. My family are visiting. And what I thought was a short trip to pick up my dad turned into five hours of visiting family. My 80 year old aunt kept trying to give me her 20 year old sweaters that probably wouldn't fit me anyway.
My sister has the unbelievable ability to be both passive aggressive and aggressive aggressive all at once. At one point she yelled at me for yelling at her while driving. What did I yell? "That's a red light!" as she was about to drive through it. I am beyond stabby at this point.
At the end of this day, my family decided to see if i would be interested in a family vacation to Newfoundland. And I'd LOVE to go to Newfoundland. But after one day of sniping in the car, I can't imagine seven in a row. So my resopnse, "What would I want to do that for?"

I... don't know.
He walks like an old cowboy! But is actually a youngish office worker.
I thought Huey long might be good, but I looked at some pictures and he doesn't look fat. I guess he just lived large.
HAAAAAAAAAA.

Rickets?
