runaway conversation, illustrated by jim....

[fileg]

it started out innocently enough. I'm not even sure where it escaped from us....


I was checking the html links on a website-- that click, followed by the two finger key return. About 600 times in, I got a weird cramp in the top surface of my -return- hand, and I complained to jim (notarysojac). He was happy to tell me that there are no muscles in the back of the hand, just tendons. I said I was inventing some anti-form of carpal tunnel, which he promptly dubbed "Carpal Bridge" syndrome.

He flexed my hand a couple of times, while I chanted "tunnel, bridge, tunnel, bridge" which led to me declaring that I was suffering from Chesapeake Bay Syndrome. (I suppose that will only make sense if you've ever been over that enormous tunnel/bridge combo)


I was fine up to that point, but then he said something I didn't catch, but which led to the following illustrated (by jim) theory of underwear in Arda:



What I thought he had said was "days and monks", and I told him I didn't think Monk would have days of the week on his underwear. A short while later this landed on my desktop:


Underwear of Middle Earth

I have no idea what to say to this except:


(But I wanted to say that at least.)

I said something similar myself. The thought of underwear with months instead of days was bad enough, but "Spring" just killed me.

Weird.

I don't think there's much of a market for underwear with months instead of days -- not that I don't know several guys that I personally think might need them....

Snort.
So wrong.

Spring -- gah.

My husband is a funny guy....

Not to initiate an arguement between your husband and yourself--but there are muscles in the back of your hand. Tiny ones, called "interosseous muscles", between the fingers. :) Just letting you know so you can be right.

I pointed out that my mother had pains in a leg she didn't even have anymore. I just knew it twanged like a bad guitar string.
