Ichigo certainly doesn't have manankles, prob' 'cause of his manaroxia. (I can't help remembering his stick-ankles... )

And why is it that sparkly vamps are always mentioned in synch with chick lit? *has just hopped over from reading Twilight fanfic* ...

It's cool that you're doing the nonce words again, twin. Been slugging man-hours off in RL? <-- *cringes at rather poor attempt at pulling in a man-word*

laurie_bunter April 11 2009, 14:11:37 UTC

Hahaha. I can't remember Ichigo's ankles right now but I do remember how pathetic his skinny chest looked.... :(

My friends love to make fun of sparkly vampires! And it's not just Twilight either, there are lots of chicklit and romance novels that feature vampires now, and it's just like this year's literary fad. Maybe next year everyone will go ga-ga over toothy trolls.

Hmm, I wonder how many man-words we can actually coin. It's kind of scary, you know?! XD Like this... have you heard about the man-bra?

Now we have to compete for men for proper sizes. NOOOOOOOOOO

Man-bra? Don't you mean the...bro?

This may be out of line and I don't know if you did it yet but man-tits. I thank Adam for the comment above to remind me of this. You know those larger than life men who have double D's that can put Orihime to shame in a heart beat. Those guys. *sigh*

Or how about those skinny guys with the beautiful long legs. Athletes have those kinds of super model legs. They shave them too but that's because of the sports. I can't think of a word for that though. -__-

Hiya! This is grey_damaskena. I'm sorry to be leaving you a comment so randomly, but I dropped by because you're a member of the saiunkoku community. I just wanted to let you know that there's currently a poll running on the community to gauge interest in getting the Saiunkoku Monogatari light novels translated into English. The number of answers in the poll could very well determine whether or not we ever see an English version of the novels. So if you have the time and have not done so already, we would really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to answer it.

Please either drop by the saiunkoku community (the poll is in the third post), or click on this link to go directly to the post.

Thank you very much for your time, and for your interest and support of Saiunkoku!

Thanks for the reminder, but I already voted in the poll. I hope you have some success in the campaign to get it officially translated.

grey_damaskena April 14 2009, 12:09:17 UTC

Thank you for voting! :-D Sorry to have spammed your journal. If you know anyone else who might be interested, please do spread the word!

Bwahahaha!

I love some manfic on occasion. I'm currently reading Clive Cussler one of my favorite manfic writers. :D

*shudders* My husband has to get special deodorant to combat his mansweat. :P

manorexic is just down right hilarious. XD

laurie_bunter April 13 2009, 15:11:15 UTC

I like reading manfic too, when I'm in the mood for it. XD I haven't read any Clive Cussler, though...

Poor underfed Ichigo... Where's Rukia and her Chappy buns?! Chappy candy? He's experiencing Calorie Rage, for crying out load!

laurie_bunter April 13 2009, 15:13:51 UTC

Yes, Ichigo needs some good loving food. I think the last time Kubo drew him with some food is the picnic spread, where Rukia was taking a bite out of his, ahem, turkey leg. Poor guy.

*smirks*

sequora April 15 2009, 22:30:00 UTC

Yep, he definitely needs to eat more. I don't know what Kubo is trying to say with Ichigo getting smaller and smaller as he fights. I guess it takes so much out of him, so much of his power, it literally drains him. Either that or Yuzu just isn't the best cook that everyone claims her to be.

sequora April 15 2009, 22:28:35 UTC

I enjoy reading your little nonce words. lol. Always brings a smile to my face. :o)

And this edition reminded me of that show that plays on Spike t.v. called Manswers. Every question asked by men is answered on this show. Did you know that drinking beer will give you bigger breast because of the yeast in it? Of course, it'll give you a pretty stomach too. -_- But anyway, when I can catch manswers, it's always entertaining as to what types of questions guys ask or even how they answer the questions. lol.

laurie_bunter April 16 2009, 10:45:06 UTC

XD I'm glad they made you smile. XD I aim to please.

Manswers! LOL. I never heard of that show before, but I really like the title. Every guy has manswers for other guys.

And yeah, beer is horrible, it's like one of the most fattening things you can drink.

sequora April 19 2009, 18:38:33 UTC

Yeah, it plays late at night on Spike TV. They have to play it late at night as to not offend most people. lol. Honestly, some of the questions shock me at how stupid it is while others are actually pretty ligate questions with good answers ( ... )
