I actually had this typed out in ATMB, but figured it’d just be moved here most likely. 😛 So… **Frank** …I guess there’s not any doubt now, is there? (please tell me I was not the only one who thought that the former **This Year’s Model** was a female?) ---

Isn’t that just like the internet? You think somebody’s a hot chick and she turns out to be some dude named Frank. FTR, I knew TYM was a guy, but I’m not sure how. - Peter Wiggen ---

You are not alone… I always pictured **TYM** as a chick. One with a firm guiding hand yet ever so gentle when admonishments were needed. Now I don’t know what to think. Maybe I’ll stop thinking. Or somethin’. 😉 ---

I dunno, I always pictured him as this 40-year-old dude with wireframe glasses. Then again I may have just described 50% of the internet. ---

It’s the internet, people. Sometimes I think _all_ the hot chicks are really dudes named Frank. ---

We may call him Frank but he looks like Elsie. ---

How could you think he was a chick? The giveaway was the boner. ---

(In my mind’s eye, you look like Heinlein’s Hamadryad Weatheral, who, in my mind’s eye, looks like Valerie Bertinelli, circa 1980. I think my mind’s eye wears glasses with tape on them.) ---

I’d like to be frank, but I can’t because _he’s_ Frank, so I guess we can take comfort in the fact that he doesn’t want to eat, drink and be Mary. ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > I notice you didn’t answer about yourself. :dubious: The golden one has left us, gone to her island, gone to her temple there, gone to her shrine with its incensed altar. She has left us behind and closed the door. If we could see her now how beautiful she would be? Imagine her there, the Graces bathing her; those lovely handmaids; and oiling her with fragrant sweetness, covering every curve of her bountiful body with sacredness and the green scent of lives, and dressing her in filmy silken robes, and roping her neck with golden chains, dropping gold from her ears, ringing her fingers with gold. She is laughing. How our darling loves to laugh! And now look! she is leaving her temple again, coming back to bring us more joyous trouble, laughing and laughing, cutting a path right through the stars. –Homer No, seriously, I’m very much a girl. Too much of a girl right now, I’ll admit, but I’m working on that… 😃 ---
