I thought the whole crowd looked junior high schoolish. Theoretically that should turn me on, but in fact the age of consent mostly interests me as a theoretical point -- there are enormous, weighty differences in the law between places and times which are geographically and historically very near one another, and the age of consent rules have grown stricter while all other sexual rules have grown looser. Craziness.

Kiddies, during my last few years at the medical school, lots of the you young MDs looked like high schoolers to me. And they have the power of life and death over you -- makes you think.

Listen, you sociopaths: w-lfs-n is not correct. w-lfs-n is never explicitly acknowledged to be correct. This way lies madness.

The woman is very attractive. But her peculiar charm is that she's gettably cute. She's not so unbearably attractive that it's impossible to imagine yourself with her; she's as cute as she can be such that you can, reasonably if very wrongly, believe you might have a shot. Which means you can dream on her, and it's the dream that's unbearable.

That was crystal clear! What I mean is that I know very well what my mother's birthday is (February 8) but often have no idea what the current day's date is. In any case, my mother did not have much sympathy. That's a lot better, though, than if she had sweetly and pathetically pretended that she didn't mind.

12 is the standard distinction, but 19 is closer to correct. Her attractiveness (as opposed to her beauty or prettiness) isn't just a matter of the size, shape and proportion of her features, but of her manner and personality. One of the reasons she doesn't look like a model is that she doesn't look vapid; she looks alert and interesting. She doesn't look like a model, in short, because she's not, she's a web developer. So I guess I'd replace "gettable" with "wantable." What does b-dub want with a model anyway (other than to compensate for his own shortcomings, I mean)? In our universe, this woman is a lot more wantable than most more beautiful models.

To elaborate, in a different direction: she also seems to be inviting attention to herself, but not through meansthat signal she thinks highly of herself (eg makeup, bangs, large neck hole, BUT dark straight straggly hair, no earings, no jewelry). Thus, more attractive than she thinks, and -> gettable.

One of the great underrated male facial expressions is what my friend Ryan calls sexface, which every single guy who worked at our campus coffeehouse in Cleveland had. They were all tall, skinny, pierced, unwashed, beardy dudes who'd stand there lanky, wearing the face that one wears just after sex--slightly slack, slightly smug, droopy-lidded. Those boys had every girl in Cleveland in the palms of their large, calloused hands.

stand there lanky,

The lack of a comma after "there", combined with AWB's choice not to go with the awkward adverb "lankily" (which would put one in mind of the famous sentence kicking off the Lyttle Lytton contest, "Jennifer stood there, quietly ovulating."—a contest in which our own RFTS, competing under her real name, once received some form of victory), is, to me, quite rhetorically exciting. It suggests all manner of locutions, such as "I'm standing lanky", which are evocative without—yet!—having a determinate meaning. (What's up? Not much, just standin' lanky. So might a typical exchange run, in the fake dialect we claim to a gullible NYT reporter that all the kids employ.)

I just expended however much time downloading things (Flash something) in order to spend however much time in stop-motion watching bits of unbearably hot Amanda, then Amanda + Anna roommate.

I dunno. I'm learning somethings from the men's responses here. A & A are young. Amanda doesn't do anything for me except in her vibrancy, if you want to call it that. Anna is more classically pretty.

Can't tell a damn thing otherwise from those short things.

Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a skunk?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, that best show off my junk.

You should go to the free clinic and get checked out, just to be sure.

Guys, you need to go to the other thread and advise eb on his rabies situation.

He should try not to contract it.

Skunk sprays the world and drowns all perfume in it.
I am made odourless, my truant love. Come back,
And stain me with the intensity of skunk.

Ben, I need to use this.

Given the source, I'm surprised there wasn't a link to a video.

Wikipedia says it's possible to catch rabies from bats even without being bitten.

reactions to the thread as a whole:

a)(203)Pynchon,in GR, uses "preterite" in a very idiosyncratic sense.
I hope someday it gains broader currency.

b)(12 et al)'Gettably cute': This was my initial reaction. However, it should be noted that if a woman displays this quality, she will attract a disproportionate level of attention. Thus, the calculating suitor will approach either 1)the lady just below the gettably cute cutoff, or 2)chat up the lady just above the gettably cute line, in either case, pursuing a woman from whom the GC type of girl has been stealing suitors.
In the case cited, yes, this girl is quite cute, but I myself would not be seen with anyone who is going around introducing sappy web videos. I should hope to imagine the feeling would be mutual.

Ok, maybe the USPCA got to them or something, but the company that makes this used to make something called the whirl-a-squirrel, which rocked ass. The battery unit was unreliable, but the basic idea was that if the pressure placed on the rim was greater than that of a bird, it would start to rotate at increasing speeds. The birds would freak out immediately, but the squirrels would hang on until they couldn't, at which point they get launched good and far. The squirrels end up ok, but rattled, which they are anyway.

161: Awesome. I remember feeling similarly proud of my six-pound half-grown cat when she hissed at a swan, that hissed back at her, and she hunkered down and hissed at the bastard again.

Other than Apo's goose story, this thread is boring because (1) the women were obviously out DOING THINGS on the weekend (except for AWB); (2) the men are unbearably pathetic, having nothing to do but discuss the cuteness and personality of a perfectly attractive young woman in a youtube video.

I've therefore revised my opinion of the hot or not threads. They're not oppressive; they're pitiful.

Excuse me? I at least wrote a skunk-centric parody of a Robert Graves poem. I don't call that discussing the cuteness and personality of some young woman.

I was skimming by that point, having grown impatient with the lameness of the thread as a whole.

In essence, all skunkcentric parodies of Robert Graves are nothing other than obsessive comments on the cuteness of juvenile women. Lewis Caroll would have written them, if Robert Graves poetry had been extant during his time, and known to him.

And of course, no one has noted that to AWB, the only one here in a position to know what is bearable and not bearable, the chick in the video was just barely bearable.

Those were some lame geese you people were talking about.
