Her wrists were weasels and anemones, among other things, if I remember rightly.

And those sandstone thighs - can I say ouch! loud enough? Bet she doesn't get any!

[sboydtaylor]

Bet she'd win any Ultimate Fighting Championship bout, too.

And what the hell do feet have to do with Marmosets?

Or tongues with ferrets.

[sboydtaylor]

Hopefully it doesn't have eyes either!

[sboydtaylor]

I double dog dare anyone to compare a woman's thighs with schooners.

They say that the eruption of Krakatoa was the loudest sound heard in recorded history. I'll be the slap that ensues from a comparison with a masted freighter and a woman's thighs would be the second loudest.

Did he really think that litany would impress the lady? *Any* lady?

[sboydtaylor]

Heh. Well it must have impressed someone at Ace, because it was originally published by them. Yes, he got paid for that!
