I think Smurf is trying to tell us something.

hmmmm...
Something big, perhaps?

Does "lost puppy"-look mean anything to you?
No :confused:

That's good; I don't look like that at all when I cry, since I don't cry.
 
  • #39
Oh, Patty, we need to know your show size.
 
  • #40
LOL.

My show size? I've been in the cast of several community productions. The smallest had seven of us; the largest, fifty. So on average my show size is about 29.
 
  • #41
And to my friendly Canadian neighbors, I'm really, really, *really* sorry we've been such bad neighbors lately.

And thank you for Colin Machrie. He's such a sweetie.

:smile: :smile: Shoe size. (I'm typing with 4 kittens on my keyboard)

What's that, you're typing with mittens on? :smile:

Oh dear. We aren't approaching the shoe event horizon, are we? (takes several hesitating steps away from the keyboard...)

I forgot to say:
Welcome pattylou

Yes,you don't cry and that's why I said you'd look better!
 
  • #46
Just to clear up, Lisa:
I thought you originally said something like "You'd better look better when you cry", and that's what I tried to form some response to.

I wish they were mittens. :frown:

So, who wants kittens?

Yeah, good point. Welcome!



Evo said:

Wait, you want to turn your pets into gloves? There's something very, urm, Cruella D'Evil going on here. I don't like you any more!

Evo said:

Oh, I get it. You want to remove the fur for your own dastardly plot, and sell the corpses on as meat!

A POEM:
A kitten in a mitten
Nicy and comfy, but rather pomfy.

Wow, and the thread started out so well. Who'da thunk it would turn out like this?

Oh, right. :rolleyes: :biggrin:

It did stay on topic longer than usual. :redface:

Pattylou...still waiting for that shoe size.

No no no no, there's a very good reason for her question. *Whispers to PattyLou* Just say size 8.

Oh, right. :rolleyes: :biggrin:
Relative to the length of its creative germination period, it was a damn GOOD poem!
 
  • #54
LOL.

You can call me Patty, everyone, though I don't mind Pattylou. If I had thought to call myself "The Patty" (or even "The Party," as that is an easy typo from The Patty and goofy enough to be fun if not accurate) I would have.

Hmmm... I am guessing my shoe size depends on what country I'm from. I'll have to google to find a suitably obscure response. Though I've alreay amply demostrated my Yankihood.

While I'm googling, Evo, I have a question for you and anyone else here. Would you drink a beverage made primarily from squeezed lemons?
 
  • #55
My shoe size is between 5 and 248. For the present I'll go with 36, but I won't tell you which country that is.

It has to do with an odd fact that surfaced in another thread a while back. You must answer honestly.

Not primarily as in volume but as one of a few ingredients, yes.

Oh dear. Now I need to find a search engine on this forum.

Ooh, creative germination period. You should put that in a poem. :approve: Try a limerick.
There once was a creative germination period... Or maybe an ode to the creative germination period.
 
  • #59
Well, they were the first words that came to my head?

I'll work on that limerick, though..

It's in the top menu. I'm curious about this too.

Yes, it's very nice. You have a gift.
 
  • #62
Oh very well.

But I have to preface this with the admission that I really *don't* like physics. I like Biology. (I also wish to point out that the thread is from last September... heheheh... )

But in the geeky spirit of gathering data, I'll admit to being a size eight. Of course, with only about 5 female respondents on that thread, the odds of all 8's but one - isn't too unusual.

I'm short, too. If that matters. Not quite 5 foot 3.

Oh dear, depending on the country, I believe 39 would be the correct answer. :frown:

Honestrosewater, we don't know your shoe size and you're still posting?

Ok, we found out that all of the women posting in GD had a size 8 shoe, except for Tsu, with a size 7, but that's ok because she's Tsu. It was rather odd.
 
  • #64
I like being tall.

That was the next question. :-p You fit in the average height as well.

My daughter wears a size nine, my mother wears a 6.

I checked shoes- 9.5, slippers- 9, tennis shoes- 9, sandals- 9. I guess that's a 9. I'm an anomaly. Oh, and I'm 5'8.
This means that I have a bigger brain, right? :-p I'm sure I read that somewhere... can't find the link just now. :rolleyes: Oh, nevermind, my being blonde probably negates any gain from shoe size. :frown:

Aww, being blonde is okay. :biggrin: It means you're even smarter to have overcome such a handicap as blondeness. :approve: I only have some bad days when the roots dig deeper into my brain than usual and I get extra ditzy. :-p But you're way too tall for us. ... Oh wait, that means you can reach the top shelf! Okay, you can stick around, we need someone who can reach the stuff way up high.

PattyLou is just the right height and shoe size to be one of the twins...uh...quintuplets...or is that sextuplets? of the sisterhood (even if some of us were born a decade or so apart from one another). You'll have to settle for being the little sister, who happens to be bigger than all of us. :biggrin:

As in lemonade? Nope. It's either too sour, or they add so much sugar it's way too sweet. But if it's something like a whiskey sour with lemon in it, mmmmm hmmmmm. :biggrin:

Woo hoo! :biggrin: Kind of like Little John from Robin Hood. Er, maybe that's not the best example. Blonde moment. :redface:

Also, Patty, the PF clothing department just contacted me. They need to know what size habbit you require. And do you prefer clean or dirty habbits?
