Chippy's question of the day...

LarryTheShiveringChipmunk · 01-01-2006, 09:42 AM

Why does it seem that FFAs are more common in the UK than the US (:

Jane · 01-01-2006, 10:02 AM

Concentration?

William · 01-01-2006, 10:03 AM

Scalloped Potatoes with extra cheese?

LarryTheShiveringChipmunk · 01-01-2006, 10:04 AM

well yeah mathematically speaking...but we have what seems to be an equal number if not more FFAs here from the UK than the US (and most are in the early 20s)...since the US has just shy of 5x as many people, the ratio is suprising.

extra_fat_guy · 01-01-2006, 12:32 PM

I think some of the FFAs in the US are still in hiding. Society in the US still thinks it strange to be attracted to big people. Many people are still afraid to go against what many people believe to be socially acceptable.

Maybe us state-side girls are just quieter?

Hehehe. It's Scottish accents for me. I'm a sucker for 'em. And kilts...what girl could resist?!

Address to a Haggis.

by Robert Burns

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang's my arm.

The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o need,
While thro your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.

His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An cut you up wi ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!

Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
'Bethankit' hums.

Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi perfect sconner,
Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view
On sic a dinner?

Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit:
Thro bloody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll make it whissle;
An legs an arms, an heads will sned,
Like taps o thrissle.

Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies:
But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!

Jane · 01-01-2006, 06:05 PM

OMG a man who quotes Burns.....

Heart goes pitty pat, pitty pat.

fatlane · 01-01-2006, 06:16 PM

I also quote Pablo Neruda if you're good to me.

Jane · 01-01-2006, 06:33 PM

Good...hell, I'll even be bad.

fatlane · 01-01-2006, 06:43 PM

Amor, cuántos caminos hasta llegar a un beso,
qué soledad errante hasta tu compañía!
Siguen los trenes solos rodando con la lluvia.
En Taltal no amanece aún la primavera.

Pero tú y yo, amor mío, estamos juntos,
juntos desde la ropa a las raíces,
juntos de otoño, de agua, de caderas,
hasta ser sólo tú, sólo yo juntos.

Pensar que costó tantas piedras que lleva el río,
la desembocadura del agua de Boroa,
pensar que separados por trenes y naciones

tú y yo teníamos que simplemente amarnos,
con todos confundidos, con hombres y mujeres,
con la tierra que implanta y educa los claveles.

Jane · 01-01-2006, 07:08 PM

you shall above all things be glad and young
you shall above all things be glad and young
For if you're young,whatever life you wear

it will become you;and if you are glad
whatever's living will yourself become.
Girlboys may nothing more than boygirls need:
i can entirely her only love

whose any mystery makes every man's
flesh put space on;and his mind take off time

that you should ever think,may god forbid
and (in his mercy) your true lover spare:
for that way knowledge lies,the foetal grave
called progress,and negation's dead undoom.

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance

BellyQueen · 01-02-2006, 04:57 PM

It is just my personal thought that the Brit society seems more open minded and more accepting than American society. Having a husband from England(who I met on Dimensions) and visiting my in laws there it just seems more acceptable. I being a bbw here would NEVER in a million years wear a bikini in public here for fear of the looks and comments. But over there I don't mind wearing it to a local swimming pool.

Those are just my opinions and thoughts.

Guess I won't post any Walt Whitman stuff here now that it's back on topic...

Jane · 01-02-2006, 05:40 PM

No Howl either, I guess. Sigh....

fatlane · 01-02-2006, 05:47 PM

Totally rules out T.S. Eliot.

Maybe I should grab some stuff from a hapless teen's Trapper Keeper?

Jane · 01-02-2006, 06:12 PM

Never rule out T.S. Elliott
or James Dickey

fatlane · 01-02-2006, 06:16 PM

That was hollow of me to think we could do without Eliot.

See, see the languid sky
Marvel at its big puce depths.
Tell me, Jane do you
Wonder why the pekingnese ignores you?
Why its rumunstly stare
makes you feel desuetudinous.
I can tell you, it is
Worried by your frungziggous facial growth
That looks like
A becheesed milk.
What's more, it knows
Your fitunck potting shed
Smells of moldy toejam.
Everything under the big languid sky
Asks why, why do you even bother?
You only charm open festering sores.
