    I learned early on in my career that if you intend on "keeping up with the poets" on a night out, you had better eat a large dinner and not have any plans the next day.

    You know, that's almost the case. :( It would be the case if it weren't for other creative writers, like fictioneers, and publishers/editors and other people who work in the literary publishing scene.

    Everyone else is pretty much afraid of poetry. Like, literally afraid.

    But not a good afraid, like with horror films. Those things make money. Without grants even!

    I've learned this afternoon that I have the leg length of a 6'3" dude.

    I am going to consider this a point of pride.

    speaking of movies.....
    " Including the majestic møøse

    A Møøse once bit my sister ...

    No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse
    with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given
    her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and
    star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo
    Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst
    Nordfink".

    We apologise for the fault in the
    subtitles. Those responsible have been
    sacked.

    Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

    We apologise again for the fault in the subtitles. Those
    responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked
    have been sacked.

    Møøse trained by TUTTE HERMSGERVORDENBROTBORDA"

    found this conveniently typed out on this page.

    Well it certainly sounds like Bubbles will be happy at least.

    Lauren Bacall in her younger years looked better than any of these current stars, and she has aged very well. I think that Dorothy Lamour ranks up right up there as well. If I was picking a star in her early 20's(ish) age I would nominate Lillian Gish in the 1915-1920 range. Anyways never mind me, your post brought to mind an era (1910-1950's) I am especially biased toward in both films and film stars.
