[QUOTE=yams!!] Indeed, there are women who prefer (dare I say, relish) a bit of chubbiness on a guy. [/QUOTE] Well, I love chubbiness on a woman, too. But I usually don’t apply relish. Applesauce is tastier. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=The Weird One] Hear, hear! Muscley guys are so hard. I like my man al dente. [/QUOTE] Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t ‘al dente’ mean ‘hard and crunchy’? (As opposed to ‘al Danté’, which means ‘burnt’. 🙂 ) ---

[QUOTE=pbbth] Do you have all of someone else’s teeth instead of or in addition to your own? That makes a difference, you know. [/QUOTE] Well, they took from me the one that used to hold the micro film, but the other people’s teeth are in a baggie that’s inside a stuffed dog. ---

[QUOTE=Sunspace] there are women who don’t mind a bit of chubbiness on a guy? [/QUOTE] Yes, there are. I’d rather have a fat geek or a skinny geek over a guy with big visible muscles. I like chest hair too, and don’t mind back hair. But I’m taken. And Mr. Neville is fat and has chest and back hair. ---

[QUOTE=Sunspace] Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t ‘al dente’ mean ‘hard and crunchy’? (As opposed to ‘al Danté’, which means ‘burnt’. 🙂 ) [/QUOTE] Al Danté 😃 Good one. [Al dente](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_dente), in relation to pasta, means soft on the outside but firm inside. As opposed to soft and squishy. ---
