Open Thread: Game 129 - A's at Angels (cont.)

This is why you watch the games -- who would have predicted that by now, Landon Powell would have a straight steal of home, Erick Aybar would have gotten a foul ball stuck in his corn rows, and the A's would have turned a 5-9-2-4-7 triple play? Anyway, 23-1 A's going to the bottom of the 6th...{please be right...please be right...please be right...}

He’d better pick up the pace, because in about 2 or 3 years he’s going to slow down enough that the learning won’t do him that much good.

Bunk.

Thick is thick and curvy is curvy. They do frequently go together, but they’re not the same thing.

If the concern is that women don’t like the word, that’s only because they don’t hear it often enough with the proper appreciation.

I don't disagree with the first part

but really, in this world, women are supposed to appreciate being called thick? One may have good intentions calling a woman thick, but women in general don’t hear it that way. Don’t get me started on the perception of women’s physiques in this society.

Pam, please allow me to publicly apologize for referring to you as thick and allow me to change my adjective of choice to curvy. I meant zero disrespect.

It's a cultural thing

“Thick” is well-understood in most African-American communities, and I had thought it had spread to white folk by now. It’s not just a euphemism for fat and it’s not a synonym for curvy. Urban dictionary gives a pretty good idea. It’s almost almost complimentary. It’s no more likely to be used disparagingly than, say, “buxom”.

Short answer to your question: yes, they are.

I can agree that thick is good

that’s not what I’m trying to say. It’s a question of perception. I don’t believe that when a woman is complemented as being “thick”, she receives the intention of the statement. Thick is great. Curvy is great. This culture of wafer-thin supermodels…not so much.

I didn't want to go here, but if only to get

you to stop typing that monstrous aberration “peni” I will.

The authentic Latin plural for “penis” is “penes”. You will occasionally see this used in scientific contexts, or in related words like “hemipenes” (yes, some creatures have forked ones and each half is a “hemipenis”).

But there’s no reason to use it in ordinary English. The proper plural is simply “penises”.

Well, our pass defense is normally good. It just got picked apart by the top-ranked offense. We’re just terrible against the Saints. We lost to them last year by a 34-3 score. Our run defense, as usual, was poor. We definitely have to take a defensive tackle with our first pick in 2010.

Offensively, we barely had the ball. We don’t run the ball all that much in the preseason since we’re trying to move Russell along. Russell played well (12-for-18 and 153 yards), but the blindside fumble on the first drive killed big time.
