Silliness is Golden

some questions are more fun to ask than answer.

What's sexier: female welders or female glassblowers?

What about female fire spinners, I hear you cry. That's less sexy because firespinning is explicitly performative. Un-self-concious sexiness is sexier than deliberate sexiness.

Glassblowers. Duh! I mean welders have to wear masks and gloves and asbestos jackets and stuff, so you can't see any curves n stuff. Assblowing, on the other hand, can be done nude.

Um, chicks who can do both. Why stop at one skill?

Touché!

I guess I was referring more to activity than ability. I was watching a woman blow glass yesterday, and it was hot. Er...in more than one sense. Merely being told that she was a glassblower would not have had the same effect somehow.

Assblowing??

comment by Steph:

I guess the question is, can assblowing be done clothed??

Just to be totally obnoxious: a grammatical error in a sebbo entry!?! "What's sexier" he asks, not "Who's sexier". Are female glassblowers undeserving of the title "who" - not quite members of humanity?

But then a flashback. A large yellow room with orange trim and a Sesame Street poster to boot; late on one of those lounge nights. And my friend A. uses the word "female" as a noun in a sentence. Seb, overhearing, says that he thought A. must have been talking about antelope or sea otters - who uses "female" to refer to "women"?

All is now clear.

BTW - welders get to wear those big face masks. That totally rules.

There are a few men in opera who don't mind doing beefcake. Friends and I used to joke that Samuel Ramey had a clause in his contracts mandating him baring his furry chest at some point.

More or less not much going on worth mentioning. Pretty much nothing seems worth doing. I've just been staying at home not getting anything done. So it goes. I've just been letting everything wash over me lately, but I guess it doesn't bother me. My mind is like a complete blank.

Not much on my mind. Oh well. Basically not much notable going on today.

I've more or less been doing nothing , but oh well. Basically nothing seems worth thinking about, but such is life. I don't care. I haven't been up to much.

My comments form now uses Markdown formatting syntax EXCLUSIVELY. If you use HTML in your comments (or indeed <pointy brackets> for any reason at all) you will be assumed to be a spambot, and your entire comment will be consigned to the Great Howling Internet Void. If you want to get fancy, have a look at the cheatsheet or the full description. Otherwise just type away.
