"petite"
This morning I opened up the Express edition of the Washington Post during my MetroRail commute. The Express is sort of the "Post-Lite" for MetroRail riders, and is provided free of charge. Anyhow, I open up the center spread, pages 12-13, which features an advertisement for new developed estates in Martinsburg, West Virginia, which a lot of DC commuters are considering these days.
Look closely at the images of West Virginia wildlife on the left side of the attached image. "Say Hi to Your New Neighbors!" - which appear to be Pacific sea otters. I never knew their Pacific coast comeback was so successful that their populations spread all the way to freshwater lakes in West Virginia:
Last Sunday after a Dungeons and Dragons session with tha geeks, My'ra, one of the players in the group offered me a ride home. As I got into her car, she mentioned, "Jimbo, I never noticed how petite you were." My'ra has this perception that I'm a trucker-bait bearcub, which she likes to entertain at any opportunity.
"I'm 180 pounds, bitch!" I replied. Petite? I'm proud of the weight I've gained, and it sure helps during rugby. Granted, the mass is mostly skull-weight, but who's asking? When I was unemployed, depressed and not eating well, I got down to 150 and I didn't like the look at all. Sure, I could see my abs, but my face was all sunken and I looked like a tina whore. There's nothing like a little chubby in yer cheeks to make you look younger too. When I started working again, I also got my tonsils removed at long last, which then prevented the bi-monthly strep throat sessions that I'm sure had my body burning a lot of energy to get rid of. Not long after that surgery, I started gaining. Or maybe it was the onset of my mid-30's. In either, case, I ain't petite, bitch!

Isn't it strange that developers always push the wild animal aspects of their developments? Doesn't bulldozing forests/deserts/farmland actually decrease the numbers of animals? Anyways, you gotta watch out for those otters, they are fierce and will eat little infants and poodles, cracking them open on their soft furry tummies in order to eat out their squishy insides!

"Petite"? No.
Elfin? Perhaps.

Yeah I can't quite see you in a size zero dress; your pecs would just spill out the sides.
Oh and you did not look like a tina whore. Only if you turned sideways and you slipped through the floorboards is that true.

What percentage of that 180 is junk in the trunk?

Can I just be referenced as "Shadow" the writer of Shadow Voice? For some reason "Shadow Voice" as a persona sticks in my craw. Er, anyway, I'm retentive.

Have you logged onto cnnsi.com recently? The cover story on ruggers may just peak your interest. AND, YES... I do read the sports page too. Here's the link:

me thinks we need more shirtless pics of you so we can judge for ourselves on your 'petiteness'.
*G*

You can tell a river otter from a sea otter just like that?
HOT!
