headexplode Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Finally, something in the Washington Post that speaks to my heart. I didn't grow up in the 50s, but I can appreciate the sentiment. Farewell 'till next year you Godesses of the Sun. Farewell!! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/15/AR2007101501434.html Farewell to Arms ...and Legs and Ankles and Toes and Shoulders and Necks and... By Stephen Hunter Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, October 16, 2007; Page C01 The poet T.S. Eliot famously called April the cruelest month. What an idiot. No, by far October is the cruelest month. The air turns nippy, the wind acts up, the dead leaves tumble from desiccated trees and, unless you're on the Skyline Drive, the bright colors only give you a headache or something to sweep up. Ugh, then there's Halloween, full of begging beasties and pretend heartiness. But most tragic of all, October is the month the flesh goes away for six long months. Why? Because that is the way of all flesh. Of course, you suspect I do not really mean all flesh. My flesh, for example, goes away, and who cares? Does the world need a glimpse of spidery albino legs with a pelt as thick as a beaver's, sustained on spindly struts of ankles? Women have been known to flee in horror when exposed to such hellish vistas. What about that creeping wad of putrescence that is occasionally on view above my belt when I bend over in a T-shirt? Who in their right minds, male or female, would not applaud the annual half-year exile of this pod of glucose, Fritos and Mike and Ike Original Fruits? I mean: Their flesh. As in female.

Loxley Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Haha. An awesome piece of writing. So true also. This is why they gave us football. By the time the draft comes around again the hotties will be back out in force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headexplode Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 I can't believe no one here wants to talk about women. What's up with that? I'm not saying anything--I'm just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I was busy reading this Army recruitment ad I saw posted on another website I frequent. But, yeah sure, I like women - with their breasts that feel like sand.
