Y’all?

I’m drunk, for the first time since clusterflockstock.  I’m watching a show on tv about a man who is 8 feet tall.

Please say things to amuse me.

    I don’t think that’ll be terribly difficult, m’dear.

    Is he single? The only man I ever loved was 6’7. You can’t even imagine the leverage.

    Well, Kelsey, I turned the channel. I’m now watching a show on the Science channel about a man who can will himself to be warm in the freezing cold. I’m finding it very funny.

    Dave, are you suggesting that I am easy?

    The leverage?

  6. Cindy Scroggins on August 18th, 2009 at 6:27 pm

    I know; leverage? I know some short guys who have that fulcrum thing down.

    That last was me; Cindy quit and shoved the machine at me and I went at it just like a man would, without checking anything.

    I dunno about height accounting for leverage, being only 5’9″, but flexibility and creativity can certainly lead to some.

    I LOVE this bit. She was also kind of crazy, but she looked like a queen so it all worked out.

    Did you love him for his leverage, Kelsey? Would you have loved him without his leverage? I am still wondering about the leverage.

  12. Kelsey Parker on August 18th, 2009 at 8:08 pm

    Apologies for the delay! Happy hour stole me away for sixty minutes.

    Lucy, I could answer that with honesty or evasive humor. Cindy wants us to amuse her, so I suppose for now that rules out my usual candor.

    Short guys — actually, in this case I should say normal-sized guys — if they’re strong enough, can verge on the kind of leverage I’m talking about. But in order for the experience to be satisfactory, I would need to weigh not only less than I do now but much less than I should.

    PS. No. I would have loved him without the leverage. Our relationship would have just taken on an entirely different pace, if anything.

    Cindy, maybe the man who can will himself to be warm in the freezing cold could offer Cooper some tips.

    Cindy, I know nothing of leverage or its possible uses, but here is a song about a giant, in fact the giant. Is that any good?

  15. Rick Neece on August 19th, 2009 at 4:32 am

    Very well leveraged, Phil.

  16. Phil Bebbington on August 19th, 2009 at 4:43 am

    Rick! what are you doing up? Have you wet the bed or something? It must need some Leverage to get you out of bed that early!

  17. Rick Neece on August 19th, 2009 at 4:47 am

    Oh, Phil, I’m always up this early. Haven’t used an alarm clock in years.

  18. Phil Bebbington on August 19th, 2009 at 5:00 am

    Well, Rick. The morning is the most beautiful time – the world is calm and you seem to have it all to yourself. Also the best time in the heat of the summer.

  19. Cindy Scroggins on August 19th, 2009 at 8:56 am

    Thank you all for your amusing comments. I fell asleep on the couch just after I asked for them, but I woke up this morning knowing I had something to look forward to.

    Kelsey, in terms of leverage, you might find one of my made-up words to be of use: Fucumference

    [...] Discovered after I followed Phil’s giant. [...]

    I’m still contemplating what the fulcrum is in this ‘leverage’ thing.

    It does bring to mind the old -

    Do you have an immovable place to stand? I’d like to make you feel the earth move, and I’ve got a lever of sufficient length if you know what I mean

  22. Dear clusterflock : clusterflock on May 13th, 2010 at 9:33 am

    [...] Leverage. (Turns out I think I may have been wrong about the height requirement.) [...]
