Seeing where we were headed, there’s one passive voice too much in your sentence.
Ok - to get things back on track, I’d like to re-post my favorite Nathan Fillian photo…
Just out of curiousity, how many women are actually focusing on Nathan’s arms in this particular picture?
Not me, for sure.
quality, people!!! if I’m looking at Nathan’s (sorry, Barb), I want a good picture!
I’m sorry LadyD - I only have a bad one available at work… 
Wouldn’t you rather share Inara’s point of view?
None. I believe we’ve already covered the definitition of “arm porn” as it pertains to this thread and a “sorry Barb” here and there has been generally accepted…
Yes…but I’m pretty sure Inara’s view in a photograph would get me arrested!
That is a no vote for me.
So, about his neck?
He has a neck? Oh yeah, right, I was looking at his neck.
NOT!
Could you imagine the costume? :eek:
Papertraining didn’t work out too well, for obvious reasons…
Into each generation a guy is born, a chosen one. He alone will wield the strength and skill needed to fight the ants, the flies, and the forces of bugness, stopping the swell of their numbers and the spread of their larvae. He is the slayer…
An excellent point. 
I’m trying to think of something… silicone?
Asbestos?
I call him Captain Nopants.
Notice how she’s purposely trying not to look down? :rolleyes:
craaaap! I always forget about that. how can you have a word that after you add the prefix in- means the same damn thing? English is such a stupid language, which is what I regularly tell my five-year-old students who are attempting to learn it–except I don’t say “stupid” I say “silly”. tip for communicating in spanish: never say “estupido” --about anything
I just wish we could spell like in Spanish. I would have had much higher spelling test scores.
I will have to work on getting more pictures. 
I think it worked the other way around. The “in” was removed because it confused people. Confused people + fire = bad.

Why not? I can understand if you’re dealing with five-year-olds, but otherwise?
Price you pay for a language that “follows other languages into dark alleys and mugs them for what’s in their pockets.” (Terry Pratchett, IIRC.)
Most other countries have no conception of a ‘spelling bee.’
yeah, that’s what I thot too. apparently (at least in mexican usage) it’s about as bad as saying not-frak. I used it in reference to a broken shoe one day and was dressed down by an irate parent.
Huh. I’ve never heard that before. Possibly it was just that parent?
<rant>I know some parents disapprove of using the word stupid in general, part of a recent trend of touchy-feely parenting that protects children from anything unpleasant, clearly the best way to prepare them for dealing with the real world. :rolleyes: I guess it’s really not that recent, since my high school had the grades A-D and then U for “unsatisfactory”, since receiving an F might make children think that they’re failures. Wouldn’t want to think that, now would we? :p</rant>
