But if us warty pudgy homely yucky people always hide our faces, how will others ever learn to look beyond superficial appearances?
Wonkette was, let's admit it, a pleasant surprise.
Ogged, you don't look that bad. Actually you look a little jewish, must be the nose.
My crush on Belle does continue unabated, but also unaided, by the revelation of her personal appearance.
Aww, Adam, that's sweet. Or wait, vaguely insulting? No, no, it's sweet.
Belle, I was just trying to show you that I wasn't shallow.
So waitaminute there Ogged, if you think bloggers should keep their appearances to themselves, why'd you go and out (or attempt to, anyway) Belle before?
Do you really have to bring up the most ignominious chapter in my sleuthing history? (Belle, I'm so sorry, I was confused and mistaken....) Ben, you fucking rat.
To answer the substantial question: hmm, good question. I credit Adam with helping me thematize my opposition to public appearances, and allowing me to raise inchoate thoughts to the level of principle. Verily, I was barely conscious before.
I wouldn't have thought it reflected so poorly on your sleuthing, ogged. I mean, it would have to have been sleuthing in the first place, right?
I kid because I love.
That's either nice of you or you're still making fun of me. Generally, a sleuth who picks out the wrong target is adjudged a crappy sleuth. Anyone can dig through the trash, right?
BTW it's nice for you to say I look "sultry" in that photo, Ogged, since it would be more accurate to say I look like I just got hit smartly on the base of the skull with an axe handle. But, to be fair, I was totally drunk.
Well, now that you've said it, I can say it: you look drunk, too. But some women look stupid drunk, some look sultry. Count yourself lucky.
It's the kohl that does it.
(Yeah, I know that's not really kohl. But "kohl" is cool, and I was thinking of this Gorey quatrain.)
