What if they hear you, and decide to leave? And take their photos and their episodes and their reruns with them? Shut up, man. **SHUT UP!!!** ---

Fine then, **Scylla**. You’ve defeated my first arguments so I’ve no choice but to bring out my ace in the hole: _It’s a freakin’ TV show!_ She’s a badass because the character’s supposed to be. She’s also eye candy because we, the viewers, like to look at eye candy. Deal. ---

Just as long as were all in agreement on Jolene Blalock, she’s a stone fox. Bad things, I want to do bad things to her. ---

essvee: > [@](#): > > um, scylla, whats moment arm? Wow. You must be a total idiot! I thought it was obvious. Clearly it’s an obscure term I use to impress people an win arguments. Duhhh. What does it mean? It has to do with leverage and centers of rotation and shit. Trust me that Alba has a weak moment arm. What, you don’t trust me? Fine! Figure it out for yourself. [Here.](http://muscle.ucsd.edu/musintro/ma.shtml) Milo: Trust me. They’re not leaving. They like having you look at them and lust over them and know that you can’t have them, so that you get all sad and frustrated and run home crying and rip the sheets off the waterbed and coat the cushion in suntan lotion and baby oil, and rip off all you clothes and just go sliding back and forth, back and forth, and crying “Mommy!” Oh yeah, they like **that**. ---

Fiver, you fool: > [@](#): > > She’s a badass because the character’s supposed to be. So if they cast Webster as Mohammed Ali, that should be ok, too? Stop looking at the Blalock link. You’re arguing in circles. ---

> [@](#): > > jeez, man, take it easy! i can be a total idiot, but its not because ive never heard of moment arm, kay? but thanks for the link. I was just kidding. Look at my initial explanation: > [@](#): > > learly it’s an obscure term I use to impress people an win arguments. Duhhh. See? A joke. Sorry. Some humor doesn’t come across all that well in a message board. ---

i saw it as vicious, brutal sarcasm from a seasoned veteran of the pit. it made me curl up in a ball and whimper and hold on to my dick for comfort. it did impress me though. nice to know it was only a joke. arm moment, hee hee. ---
