I think Spider Webbbbing™ would be an **un** common bond. Unique to the marvelousness that is **Spider Woman**. The hugs could stand to be more common. Yeah, hugs are good. (slipping back into my Self-Help Guru sweater) Hey everyone! Hug someone today! Hug someone _right now_! Make the World a better place. (taking off my S-H G sweater) And if you’re hugging a hot (member of your preferred gender), give 'em a friendly lick, too. What could it hurt? -Rue. ---

The eyes. It could hurt their eyes, if you licked them. ---

OK, important safety tip! No licking eyes! Repeat… DO NOT lick the hot (member of your preferred gender)'s eyes. Thank you. ---

When you read something that is obviously of that intellectual caliber, you naturally associate that voice.

Please, don’t hate me. I just realized, I have Diet Tips. There’s a certain irony here, but we won’t go into that. > [@](#): > > **Whadda ya need a diet for?** > > You’re beautiful just they way you are. When you pop an air mattress, it should be because you got all rowdy on it, not because your knee, or elbow, or hip poked in it. Sheesh, have a muffin for cryin’ out loud! > > You may not realize this, but you are in the prefect shape for your particular life. Really. > > Now, if your life is sitting in front of the tube watching _Oprah_, eating Ben and Jerry’s, the problem isn’t your weight. No, no, no, it’s your life. Get a better life. Your butt will thank you. > > You might need to adjust you diet for high blood pressure. If you get a paper cut and you spray blood across the room, your blood pressure might be too high. Go see your doctor. A regular doctor. One with a diploma from a real doctor school. Not the guy down the street who calls himself “The Love Doctor” and always has Barry White on the Hi-Fi. > > That would be “Barry White music”, by the way. If Barry White himself was sitting on a record player down the street, you should definitely go check that out. I mean really, it’s _Barry White_. > > So, to recap: Don’t diet just because some ultra-skinny freak says so. You can if you want, but I’m not recommending it. > > And remember your muffin. There. I feel better. -Rue. ---

I think that she’s calling you eight morons. Or maybe that’s octamoronic…? Anyway, I would have commented earlier but I have been trapped in an endless review loop for the past half an hour.
