          Maybe it was a “metric” foot? But then again, Subway footlongs ain’t exactly 12 inches either.

            The infinitely supperior and majestic metric system does not have feet at all. But a meter-long dong would be less impressive, more deformity. A meter is roughly 3 feet.

              I was thinking more of the line of a metric foot equaling 12 cm.

                You might have to dump your teacher for others that actually know the metric system. I’m not precisely sure how many centimeters is a foot worth but it is close to 30-32.

                Thus if Walky’s “foot” was only 12cm long it’d be rather unimpressive.

                Incidentally, this conversation fits my avatar perfectly. 🙂

                  @JJ: Yes I know that 1 foot = 30.48cm, it was supposed to be a joke.

          Just say whatever you want. If you convince enough people, it’ll become real. That’s how language works. No one knows that all of language started because someone didn’t want to seem dumb when they thought they’re friends were making the same sounds for a reason.

          It just tallies the amount of times Harry and Marv would’ve died had normal rules for pain and injury come into play. That body count was surprising, and–while I said it was dark–that body count was humorous as well.

      Accio jacket??

      The glasses actually got dislodged from her face during the sexytimes and remained in the bunk.  As a person who wears glasses myself, I was more worried that they would have rolled over onto them and broken them.

      And that is Walky’s jacket, but he had already taken it off before getting into bed together.  Not to mention that it is probably wet, cold, and clammy about now.

      The glasses fell of her head right at the end, and ended up behind her pillow. I can’t remember if we saw where the clothes ended up, but I think the May have just been shoved to the edges of the bed, if not off altogether due to them being soaked.

        Agreed. I’ve had fantastic sex with someone I’ve had a great emotional connection with and I’ve had crappy sex with someone who knew exactly how to push all the right buttons but there was no emotional connection anymore. Just because someone is skilled in a technical/mechanical sense doesn’t mean that great sex will happen and just because someone is new and doesn’t feel like they know what they’re doing doesn’t mean that the sex will be bad. And even if someone feels they don’t know what they’re doing, that doesn’t mean they won’t hit the right buttons. When partners are um…demonstrative…when they are enjoying something, it tends to encourage the other partner to keep doing that thing that is getting the sexy reaction. 🙂

    Picture this scenario…

    Joyce standing outside of Dorothy’s room. Naive and sexually repressed Joyce thinking out loud to herself, “Hey this is weird, I wonder why there is a sock on her door?” Confused Joyce barging inside without knowing what the sock represents. And finally a helpful Joyce starting to say, “Hey Dorothy did you know..” before receiving a face full of Dorothy.

    Yes, Joyce & Dorothy shippers you may now happily imagine that scenario and squeal with glee. ‘Squee!’ away to your heart’s content. You are quite welcome. But be sure to thank Willis for that perfect setup.

    Even when she has downtime for Walky it’s “I have forty-five seconds…” She can’t not be Dotty even when she’s not being Dotty.

    Oh. Oh god.

    After all that just went down with the Amazi-girl storyline I am really dreading the culmination of this Dorothy arc with her newspaper article.

    Really like the chemistry between the two of them. Walky actually being glad that he’s not her first and she could lead him through the whole thing is just nice to see.
