HNT - "Your Tool Must Grow Bigger" Said the Spammer

Wed, 2008-10-15 17:59 — figleaf

[Note: See also my endorsement of Osbasso’s posting guidelines and his original HNT photo, here. —fl]

I get so much inspiration from spam. Ok, inspiration for whacky photo sets, not so much actual inspiration to take them up on their no-doubt well-intentioned offers. :-)

The one that lit me up this week said “Your tool must grow bigger.” Actually I have a tool that does that already so here’s proof.

One thing worth mentioning by the way. I pulled the tape out to the cannonical twelve inches and… I dunno. Since it would reach up to my sternum being that large would interfere with my breathing. I have no idea how But as always let me know if you feel otherwise. To paraphrase Will Rogers said “It’s not the things I don’t know that get me into trouble. It’s the things I know that just ain’t true.” :-)

Meanwhile…

Happy HNT (or Half-nekkid Thursday!)

Hee. :)

But never mind your sternum, I’m more concerned about where exactly that would end up inside a partner. (Probable real-life answer: halfway out.) Still, I’ve seen pictures and I’ve heard stories about people getting in past their elbows, so I have no doubt some people like it that way. But wow.

[Sheah! Just having something that big resting against my chest would be tough. Imagining it pressing up against your diaphragm from the inside seems… daunting. Although as you say it works for some people. Of course something always works for some people — that’s how diversity works. :-) But yeah, me? Not so much. By the way “Probably real-life answer: halfway out?” Yeah, that’s also what I’ve heard from most people in a position to know. Thanks, Holly! —fl]

The best thing about that tool is that one can belong to women just as easily as men!

Your HNT’s always make me smile …

[Thanks, Dana. I appreciate it. (*Loved* that hint of restless serenity by the way.) —fl]

I love your silliness — its a rare and cherished trait. :)

[Thanks, Ms. I. I mean… if you can’t make it stop then what else are you gonna do with spam like that anyway? :-) (And hey, contemplativeness works too — I really like your photo this week.) Happy HNT. —fl]

[Thanks so much, Monkey! I feel like I was so dour all summer. It’s great to lighten up a little and it just seemed like such a great opportunity. Thanks again. —fl]

Figleaf, this set is hilarious. I love it when it involves humor.
Concerning the guidelines: I had a kind of moment of doubt last week. I thought nobody would be interested in seeing my plying, but decided to post anyway because I was interested in showing, so there!
I just realized how ironic it is that today is the day I put my toes on the other side of the line, considering that yesterday I was outed as a blogger. Someone in the city discovered who I was because she saw me spinning in a restaurant. Who knew a fiber blog would be so dangerous to my anonymity.
shrugs Not going to delete the post. Happy HNT!

[Great timing then, CB. Sorry you were outed. With any luck all they know is “that woman I saw spinning has a blog” and not “I never knew you had a mole there.“ :-) (You’ve taken “knit black dress” to a whole ‘nother level by the way.) Happy HNT to you too. —fl]
