My legs look good on a bike. Unfortunately, I'm more of a runner.

Well, I could argue that I don't have any legs. But I would probably lose.

Don't forget that extra digging foot. That seems to come in handy. :biggrin:

My legs would be good beach legs if they weren't so pale, or bruised, or short, or...:rolleyes: They're good, sturdy farm legs though.

My wife likes them (my legs), so that's fine with me.

Last night she was petting them as if they were a furry cat. I had to ask her to stop, it was getting weird.

Mine does that - I daren't argue.

The only problem with mine is that they are both shorter than the other!
I have duck's disease =my bum is too close to the ground.

How about that, I always thought that if you had one leg shorter than the other, that nature would compensate and you would have one leg longer than the other. My problem is that I am too short for my weight. But at least both of my legs reach the ground.

edit - now I see, in your case, in order to compensate, you would have to have both legs longer than the other and that is logically impossible.

I thought she had bowed legs, or is it just the way she walks.

If I were ever ship-wrecked on a deserted island I could signal passing rescue aircraft by reflecting the glare off my pale legs towards them. Not only are they pale, but they are hairy too. What is odd is that only my legs have an overabundance of hair. Someone might think I was a cave-dwelling ape if that was all they could see of me. They are also fairly flexible, though not as much as they used to be. I can still throw a leg behind my head if I care to or turn my flipper-shaped feet about 270 degrees apart. At one time I could do a front/back split, or bend over slowly backwards, touch the ground with my hands and then come back to a standing position. Ok, I really am a freak!

I am. It's a one man show. You'll catch me at restaurants and book stores Saturday evening entertaining the crowds.

Which reminds me, Terry Pratchett will be at Powell's near me this Wednesday for a book signing. I think I might go check that out. I've never bothered to go to a book signing before and I like Terry Pratchett. His Mort character is my favorite.

If you ever get lonely you can always wax the rest of your left leg and pretend... Maybe I'll leave that one.

I also have some legs.

I like GD because it is kind of like the PF circus side-show. I am too ignorant of most science to actively participate in the other sections of this forum, although sometimes I like to poke my head into the philosophy section just to convince myself that "I am not an animal." The more I try, the less concerned I become with the conclusion. I'm starting to think that argument has no legs.

I would think he would be less attached to his leg, now that it is unattached to him. It never writes. It never calls. Sounds like a tragedy in the making to me.
